piece of reasoning whereby he at
tempts to show that .Dowling's 90
days of service in the legislatures,
during which time he took no active
part in legislative work, has given
him more of the necessary expert
ence to equip him for representa-
tive in congress than Mr.. Young's
active service for the last seven
sessions, during which time Mr..
Young was the Acknowledged leader
of the State senate, and the active
partfcipator in every legislative
fight Dowling introduced two or
three insignificant bills, to which,
he attached the name of Mr.. Speak
err, and so much of a burlesque
was made of this fact that a resolu-
tion was introduced, into the senate
calling for an investigation as to
who Mr.. Speaker was. On the
other hand, Senator Young was the
author and advocate of every im-
portant bill passed at the last sew
eral sessions.
Mr.. McCleary is begging the
kquestion. He has another guess
coming as to the man best qualified
for representative from this dis
trict. and if he will recur to his
honest convictions be will admit
that Mr.. Young is the best ualifed,
and the people will register their
knowledge of that fact on Sept. 18th
next.
+ Still further, why should the Man
kato statesman be so anxious to
have the Renville gentleman with
him at Washington? If there is
any one thing that the people of the
entire Seventh district desire it is
the repeal Of that iniquitous portion
of the tariff which places tax of $2
per thousand on all lumber shipped
into this country. Is it possible
that he has hopes, in case Mr..
Bowling should be elected, of get
ting him down into Washington and
casting his vote with the lumber in-
terests. despite the fact that Mr..
Bowling. like Senator Young ard
we believe Mr.. Volstead, have all
come out in favor Of the repeal of
that tax? Where a representative
from an outside district is taking sol
much interest in securing the cleo
tion OF an untried and practically
Inexperienced Legislators the people
of that district where the fight is
being waged have rightto suspect
that some understanding has been
made not at all compatible with
their interests.
The Dawson Sentinel has a good
hit on the nationality and sympathy
racket in its last issue. 1t says: It
is amusing for an outsider to watch
the arguments going on between
the Bowling and Volstead papers.
The Volstead papers accuse Dowl-
ing of soliciting votes on the strength
of his artificial limbs, and the Dowl-
ing papers retort by saying that
Volstead is getting his votes, or
trying to get them. on the strength
of his nationality. In the meantime
the papers supporting Young are
asking for votes for their man be-
cause of his fitness for the office
which he seeks, and are getting
them.
In Renville county, Mr.. Dowling s.
home county, Senator Nixon is TAX
ing an active part in Mr.. Young's,
campaign and he stated to The En-
terprise man that during his drive
from Hector to Morton, via Frank
lin. he found nothing but what was
very favorable to Mr.. Young. The
east end of Renville county has lined
up almost solidly for Mr. Young
while at Olivia the leading politi-
clans are working for his cause and
the greater part of the vote there
will be cast for him.
Reports from ali over the district
go to show that Mr.. Young is hold
ing all of the ground gained in the
