We. E.T0WNE'S ATTACK
ON M'EWEN TYPICAL
Men Who Pretend to Advocate
Coming of Human Brotherhood
! Preach It With Club.

Seldom do we take the time or
space to reply to scurrilous attacks Of
treason" to the cause of labor, as w.
! E. Towne and Morris Kaplan have
been credited with making, when re-
ferring to our candidacy during the
present campaign.
I Every workingmen is more or less
in accord with some of the things in
the philosophy of Socialism. But the
! tactics of two Of the candidates of the
Socialist party confer no credit upon
the basic principles of that party nor
! upon the candidates themselves as
gentlemen.
Repeated aversions to traitor Nc
Even which these particular candli-
| dates have been making from the plat
form should in fairness be supported
! with at least one specific charge.
Our record is open to inspection.
No person, not excepting the com.
rades" referred to, can place his finger
upon a single act of so-called treason
Of which We are guilty. True, We
have made some mistakes, and we are
free to admit that. We have been
in the labor movement some twenty
years and it would be strange, indeed.
IL we had not made few mis-steps.
But these, IL any there be, have re-
suited, not from an intention to err.
but because Of our zeal in lighting
for the cause.
Our record. in and out Of office, Will
bear the most searching investigation.
We not only invite such an investiga-
ton. but We welcome it. All we ask
any man to do is to be fair With uxs
as we are with him. to conduct him
self as gentleman should ana as NO.
ourselves have ever tried d be.

VOTE FOR all GOOD ;.
MEN IS N. O. SLOGAN
League Asks People to Search
Record of Every Candidate
for Office.

The Municipal Ownership League
is not interested in the success of any
individual for any spff1ce. It Is I'M.
terested In 4s,ae IL of policy
docs not ask you tysVote for any one
man. It asks yout to vote for all the
good men. For you will find that
when You vote for a trueblue mu.
nicipal ownership man, you are vot.
ing for. quite substantial man in
other respects.
Vote for all the men recommended
by the Municipal Ownership League
If you do, the Duluth Edison and its
allies will not have one representative
on the new. commission. That will be
good for Duluth, and for every man,
woman and child in Duluth. For you
can then set back and say i've given
you all a good start. May the best
man win with the votes he picks up
from other sources Of strength"
ship men have been in municipal own
ership fights in Duluth for 20 years
They have fought in the open. They
have fought the underground schemes
of the opposition. They have met the
enemy in season and out Of season,
sometimes clothed in the livery o.
heaven, sometimes appearing in the
guise of big business and sometimes
under the colors of some trades union.
After all these years of fighting,
don't you suppose the men that are
wrong are known by these municipal
ownership men. Where is the man,
that has Won his spurs in any fight
for the peoples interests. who is
fooled in this campaign by the Du-
luth-Edison company or it's candi-
dates. If you have any doubts, and
really want to be right, ask some
municipal ownership man who has
scars on him how You shall vote on
this question.
The special interests are never
fooled in the selection of their can
d1dates for Office. The laboring man
has been fooled, the church man has
been fooled, the honest business man
has been fooled: But the special in
terests, never. They know their men.
Beware of. them. 1t is. not every
man that has correct personal habits
that makes a good public official 1t
Is not every money honest man that
makes a good: public official All
good qualities are desirable, in every
public official, but it is his representa-
tive character that thelps or harms the
people. . If. his views are wrong on
public questions, his personality is
unimportant:. ~>#:'
The Duluth Edison is smart enough
to know all this. and it is trying to
pull the. wool over the peoples eyes
by telling them certain candidate
rs q nice man. Don't let them fool
you again. :f<

TO Mulct the People.
Continued on Page 6

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Charg-
ing collusion between manufacturers
Of armor plate and a. combination to
increase the cost to the Navy depart
ment of this essential portion Of bat
tleships, Senator Ashurst Of Arizona,
just prior to the adjournment of the
United States Senate, took the initial
steps looking to a rigid investigation
Of the concerns manufacturing armor
plate for the United States govern
ment.
The senator offered resolution di-
reCting the secretary Of the navy to
send to the senate a report showing
the amount Of armor plate used by
the navy during the last 25 years, and
the price paid for each lot per ton.
"A very significant incident in this
connection was brought to my atten-
ton when bids were received for ar
NOR plate for the Pennsylvania, said
the senator.
Bids were received from three
companies. Representatives. of these
armor plate manufacturers stopped at
the same hotel, and on the day the
bids were, opened they held a long
conference. When these bids were
opened they were found to be within
81 Of each other. The lowest bid al
so was $25 ton higher than the last
previous contract for armor of the
same grade and class.
ITO my mind, this is conclusive
proof that there is a Combination. and
that these concerns have agreed
among themselves to increase the cost
OF ar1nor and force the government to
pay whatever price they say

thousands Of yards of crushed rock
are used in the paving Of city streets,

Libraries for Migratory Iaborers.
The saloon will be compelled to
respect the law. All candidates are
pledged to law enforcement. They
Will be required to do their full duty
In the matter. Lamentable as it
may be, it is nevertheless true that
the American saloon has developed
into a sort of club for workingmen.
Our migratory laborers. the really
valuable kind, who work in the mines
and in the forests and on the ranges,
and who have no place to call home,
stop in Duluth between jobs. This
is their headquarters. There are end
less chains of them passing in and
out Of the city every day. Duluth
owes these workmen the little pros
perity it enjoys.
Without them the grass would grow
green on the streets Of the city: our
commerce would stop; business would
be throttled; our city workmen un.
employed. Their clothing and pride
prevent them from stopping at the
good hotels. The cheap lodging
house affords them the only welcome.
There the rooms are small, dingy and
uninviting. The lodging he lses con-
tain no lobbies. There is no place
that holds a welcome for this kind
of laborers like the saloon, and there
they go, not from choice, but from,
necessity.
Provide for Their Comfort.
Something should be done to pro-
vide for their comfort and :; their
wants. Mr.: McEwen promises whe.,
he is elected mayor that he will work
to extend our library and open - q
branch in the portions of the city
where these workingmen abide. 1t
will contain a large reading room,
where good literature is kept. It
will also contain checker boards and
other such games for recreation and

installed a comfort station. This
Is most necessary requirement for
the we'll being of this kind of labor
ers. We owe this much to them, and
We should lose no time in doing it.
Mr.. McEwen holds that the prin-
ciple factor in retarding the growth
and development of Duluth is the
unequal and unfair system of taxation
which prevails now. Values are un-
equal. Improved property is penal
lied, while unimproved property is
practically exempt. He boldly de-
clares that the nonresident property
owner is bane to the city. His
agent In Duluth strives to make the
earning property carry the full bur-
den Of government.

There Is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon Well
Earned Reputation.

For months News readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work they have
done in this locality. What other
remedy ever produced such cOnvinc-
ing proof of merit?

says: 81 gladly confirm all l said in
my public endorsement of Doan S
Kidney Pills that | gave year ago.
They did me wonderful amount of
good, improving my health in every
way, and I do not believe there is
any other kidney medicine equal to
them You may continue to publish
my endorsement in the local papers.

5000 BIRDS SANG
THEIR REQUIEM
Sea Swallowed Two Dead Immigrants
as Canaries Poured Forth a
Flood of Melody.

PHILADELPHIA.-Eight thOus-
and Harz mountain canary birds sang
together in a mighty requiem chorus
as the bodies of two unfortunate
steerage passengers were buried at
sea from the North German Lloyd
steamship Brandenburg off the banks
Of Newfoundland at dawn recently.
Laveta FlOria, an immigrant girl
on her way to Wheeling, w. Va, and
Johanna Peil, an infant, died after a
few hours illness. The captain de-
termined to bury them together be-
fore the passengers left their berths.
When the matches were opened to
bring out the bodies a flood of light
was let into the portion of the hold
occupied by 5000 canaries being
brought to this country.
Instantly the well-trained birds,
which had been kept in darkness
throughout the voyage, burst forth
into treble chirps, one initiating an
other, until the entire 5000 were
singing. The music continued until
the bodies spiashed into the sea and
sank from sight. Then the matches
were shut down again and the sing
ing gradually subsidized.
When the Brandenburg started up
the Delaware river on her way to
Philadelphia with 1,400 passengers
light again was let into the hold and
the birds sang during the entire river
trip. The passengers regarded this
as a ceremony of rejoicing at the
completion of a most turbulent voy-
age.
Like most of the vessels which
have arrived here this month the
Brandenburg had a turbulent pas
sage.

ABOUT BLUE-EYED MEN.
Make Poor Husbands, But in Other
Respects They Lead Procession,

BIue-eyed men, says a Kansas eG-
pert, make very poor husbands. They
had 1926 cases of wife-abandonment
in Kansas this year, and in almost
every case the offender was man
with blue eyes.
Upon the other hand, blue-eyed
men make excellent presidents, and
our own republic has scarcely looked
anywhere else. The only dark-eyed
president we ever had was William
Henry Harrison. He took one good
look at the problems ahead of him
and died in office, leaving John Tyler,
a blue-eyed man, to work it all on..
Moreover, blue-eyed men have al
ways been the worlds champion
marksmen, and but for them tyrants
had not been overthrow, slavery had
not been put down and there would
be no liberty. Dark-eyed men are
brave, but they never hit anything.
This is borne out every time there is
an International shooting match. 1t
is proven over and over again in the
occurrence of great wing shots like
Crosby and Spencer Louis Post
Dispatch.
