Rep. Lundeen announces his candi-
dacy for Congressman from the new
Fifth Dist, comprising all the City Of
Minneapolis, except the 3rd, 4th and
10th wards. He is the peoples pio-
neer progressive. He has done more
for the cause of the workingman than
any legislator during past two ses-
sions- He has demonstrated his dis
favor Of racial discrimination, and is an
advocate of Equality before the Law"
He is Spanish War Veteran true to
his comrades, regardless of color.
A Man Who Does Things.
Representative Ernest Lundeen's
Platforms of 1910 and 1912 were made
up of the following planks al of which
have been enacted into law:
1. Direct election Of U. 8. Sena-
tors, passed 1911.
2. Initiative and Referendum, passed
1918.
8. Recall, passed 1913.
4. Reapportionment, passed 1913.
5. National Income Tax, passed
1913.
6. Presidential Primaries, passed
1913.
7. Increase in the Value of Human
Life, passed 1911.
8. Employers Liability, passed 1913.
9. Extension of Hour Day, ex-
tended 1912, see Chap. 8, Sec. 7.
10. State Wide Primaries, passed
1t seems to be the peculiar province
of the average politician before elec-
ton to base his merits upon promises,
and after election to apologize to the
people for his failure to keep his
promises, by blaming his party. Rep
Ernest Lundeen has no
apologies to make. He upheld every
plank in his platform. Every pledge
to the people was faithfully kept. He
not only voted for these measures,
but he introduced and fought for them
until they were placed on our statute
books. One real fighter in Congress
is worth score Of spineless members
who merely draw their salaries.
