Yesterdays Minneapolis Journal is authori
ty for the statement that Congressman Volstead
will have contest for denomination next fall
1t would be hard job for man to find grounds
which to make a fight against Volstead
Vo1stead keeps to close too the people for anyone
to come between them.
The Sunday morning edition of the Mime
apo1is Journal is we'll appreciated here. Since
the morning papers got the idea of issuing a
Saturday evening paper dated Sunday morning,
the people on this line have had no real Sunday
mornings news. We may now know how the
second half of football game played.

President Mccall, of the New York life
Insurance Co., in his testimony before the
Investigating committee, said that three quart
ers of the bills insur ance legislation intro
duced into the various state Legislators were
Matchmaking bills. In other words, good men
occasionally introduce insurance bill be- |
cause they believe that certain features of the
insurance law need changing, but the great
majority of such bills introduce are solely for
the purpose of "hodng up" the insurance com
panies. In this matter, in all matters of
graft, the final blame must rest upon the people
for the kind of they have been willing to
put in positions OF trust.
Minneapolis has got job on it's hands of
selecting new congressman, it is pretty
generally understood that Congressman Flet-
cher will quit at the end of this term. Already
the campaign there has reached the "mentioned"
stage for number of candidates, among them
Lund the land man, and w. d. Washburn IT,

liant record in the last Legislature, but the latter
showed himself 81 ma master of railroad ques-
tons that he wou.- Dc particularly good man
in congress just now. However, when it comes
60 really selecting candidate w. l. Nolan may
be found leading ta- punch it he has ambitions =
for q larger field }4gisative activity than the
state legislature oG.is With two such phlos
onhers as Bede ano %olan in the House from
this state the MINI sofa delegation would be
materially strength ss@fl. ,
