Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1914-11-18

heaped it's scurrilous illusions upon
the editor Of theSheaf because we in
a short editorial the week before had
stated as follows: "The liquor in
torests and the railroads proved too
powerful combination and contributed
largely to the result in the senatorial
campaign in this legislative district
Every friend Of the saloon was turn
cd against Senator Sundberg,. who is
defeated according to returns receiv-
eG. How much money was used for
turning the voters against him will
never be known" We believe that
everything contained in the above ed
itoriaI is true. That Senator Sund-
berg in his legislative career had an
tagonized the two powerful interests
referred to above is a we'll known
fact, and they naturally did what
they could to defeat him. We do not
say that these interests had any par,
ticular love for Mr.. Hegnes, but they
hated him less than, Sundberg. He
had not had the chance to do them
any harm yet. We do not believe
#r. Keynes will deny that he profit
ed politically by the antipathy Of the
liquor interests and the railroad in
jerests TO Mr.. Sundberg. That is not
saying anything unfavorably what
ever against Mr.. Keynes, provided he
has not tied himself to these inter-
eSts, and we hope and want to believe
that No A lo,,4 =,
the campaign it was simply Mr.. Heg-
nes' good fortune and Mr.. Sundberg's
misfortune. The only regretable
thing about it is that Senator Sund-
berg was defeated under such cir
cumstances. During the whole cam
paign the Sheaf has not said one
word that would reflect against the
character and integrity of Mr.. Heg-
mes. We have always regarded him
as a clean and able man and If he
lives up to his prediction promises
to the people and his work merits
approval, he shall have no stauncher
supporter than the Sheaf.
But what shall we say of ThomD-
scr Of the Banner? When he is cor
n9red or hit by some shaft of truth,
that he can not dodge. he immediate
y opens UP his mud battery and be-
GINS to call names This is not the
tirst time that we are. the victim Of
his abuse. Nor are we the only one
AGAINST whom he has turned his
snleen. He has had one or more
"spats" with nearly every newspaper
IN the county and it is not lone since
that he conducted an abusive cam
pai@n which reflected on the GOOD
name and integrity of Judge Grinde-
land and other citizens of the county.
We will not stoop so low as to call
names and hurl abusive epithets like
thompson has done. In that field he
nay claim the championship. No
doubt Wcbster's dictionary contains
some words that would aptIv ft Fts
case, but we will not look them IN.
ct, the foot and mouth disease OF
which We hear SO much now-a-dovs
may possibly be the correct diapao-
SIS Of his malady. He first PUTS his
foot IN it and next in his unfortunate
dilemma he resorts to abusive words.
But we can readily forgive Thonp-
son for the abusive epithets he hurls
at US. They do not harm us in the
least. However, when he makes
sighting remarks about 'lylt-fisho
the far-famed national dish of Nor
way and Sweden, Gle does something

daughters from these ,far-awav lands

sea, will resent to the utmost. The
SUR does not affect US so much as he
thinks, in as much as we are a native
born American citizen, yet our sym
pathies are with the lut-fish and al,
that it represents of what is good,
tue and noble in Scandinavian civil

resent disparagine remarks about |
English plum pudding, or what Ger

and his mailed fist raised threaten
ingly if his favorite sauer llraut was
referred to in a sneering way, o.,
what trenchman would tolerate hav-

spoken Of without due respect! III
Thompson had spoken disparagingly
Of any of these national Dishes" it

Argyle. But really, Thompson, yoi
ought to experiment and ascertain |
