Democratic Candidate Opposed to Use
Of Veto Power-Says Increase
Of Taxes Must Stop.

Red Wing, Sept. 2S.-The keynote
speech of w. s. Hammond, Democratic
candidate for governor of Minnesota,
which was given before an immense
crowd in the Red Wing opera house
tonight, was featured by a challenge
to the Republican candidate, w. E..
Lee, to name the public officials which
Lee charges have been dominated by
brewery or other special interests. If
there are any such officials, Mr.. Ham
mond said. they must be in the Re-
publican party, which has had nearly
all the Offices and of which Mr.. Lee
now claims to have the united support.
The challenge came near the end of

AT THE CLOSED GATE OF
JUSTICE.

To be a Negro in a day like this
Demands forgiveness. Bruised with
blow on blow,
Betrayed, like him whose woe-dim-
med eyes gave bliss,
Still must one succor those who
brought one low,
To be a Negro in a day like this.
To be Negro in day like this
Demands rare patience-patience
that can wait
In utter darkness. IT'S the path to
miss,
And knock, unheeded, at an iron
gate,
To be a Negro in a day like this.
To be a Negro in a day like this
Demands strange loyalty. We serve
a flag
Which is to us white freedoms en-
phasis.
Ali one must love when truth and
justice lag,
To be Negro in a day like this.
To be Negro in day like this
Alasl Lord God, what evil have we
done?
Still shines the gate, all gold and anne
thyst,
But pass by, the glorious goal I'm
won,
Merely Negro"-in day like this!

ARISTOTLE ON WoMAN's
SUFFRAGE.

"But what difference does it make
whether women rule, or the rulers are
ruled by women? The result is the
same" So wrote Aristotle in his
Politics." about 1900 years ago, and
here we have been deceiving our
selves into thinking that woman suf-
frage and the whole question of wom-
en- taking part in the government is
modern, whereas the Greek philoso-
piers discussion proves that it agitat-
ed society long before Christ. 1t is
worth noting that Aristotle did not
admit the possibility of any arrange
ment whereby women would not have
an influence on affairs, of being the
actual rulers in fact. In his opinion,
they will either rule directly, or rule
the rulers, and what difference does
it maker" What indeed. Perhaps
our suffragist friends will tell US.

by State Auditor Iverson in speech
last March that "An unseen power has
raised UP in our midst a keen and re-

not become candidates for even high
Offices; assumes dictatorship over

the statement by Mr.. Lee, candidate
