WHAT HAS LINDBERGH DONE?

| We have asked this question OF
more than 100 voters of our county
and while many of them have answer.
ed nothing" many others have said
Il don't know" We have asked some
OF his supporters what political party
he belongs to, and while some of
them have said republican, of
course" others have hesitated and
said, II don't know"
We have no disposition to question
Mr.. Lindbergh's politics but if he be
not republican we can see no right
he has to claim republican votes and
no right to pose as republican. We
have long supported him believing
that ne had some political status and
had some influence in the great body
which makes our laws, but none of
his friends here are willing to testify
to his usefulness as a congressman
and we earnestly believe it is about
time to send him his yellow envelope
and send someone in his stead who
can and will represent US. A few years
ago congress passed an act opening
to homestead entry all the agricul-
tural lands of the great forest reser-
walton but no steps have been taken
to declare this land ready for settle
ment. Some four years ago few of
the active men of our county took Mr..
Lindbergh into the locality where
these lands lie and showed him the
great hardwood forests and the rich
black soils of more than half of the
forest reserve area and asked him to |
assist them in getting these rich farm
ing lands into market which he then
(just before election) promised to do,
but the lands are still in the reserve
and our congressman did nothing.
Perhaps he did all he could; having
40 friends in Washington he may not
have had the ability to do as he prom
sed, but these conditions do not bring
our homestead lands into market and
We feel it is about time to send some
one in his place who can do something.
Not in sympathy with the present
Administration and inclined to place
very obstacle in the way of econom-
cal progress we ask again what can
re do for US and the people whose
yotes ne solicits? Would it not be
more sensible to replace him with a
nan who can and will support the
administration, man who can and
Will ask for and endeavor to get such
egislation as we are entitled to?
Think OF the situation and do not vote
Kindly as in the past because some
me tells You he, Lindbergh, is the
'est man for the place.-Cass Lake

POSTMASTER EDITOR sQUEALs

Last weeks Akeley Herald Tribune
edited by Chas. Scheers, until relieved
a few months ago, a postmaster ap-
pointee OF Congressman Lindbergh
states that the Especial interests" are
endeavoring to beat his little tin god
tour-fiushing statesman" by publish
ing misleading statements about his
record, and are sending the same all
over the district in an attempt to de-
ceive the people"
AS the Herald was the newspaper
digging up and publishing this glori-
Gus record of non-accomplishment it
is presumed that the inference to be
taken is that the special interests"
control this paper.
For Brer. Scheers edification we
wish to state that the aforesaid record
published in the Herald and circulated
through the district is the complete
record OF Mr.. Lindbergh's accomplish
ments taken from the Journal of the
National House of Representatives in
Washington, and secured by Hon.
Frank M. Eddy, who is generally ac-
credited with having made Lindbergh
congressman in the long ago, and who
looks back upon this doubtful achieve
ment with shame. He is, with the as
sistance of the Herald and a number
OF other loyal republican, democratic
and independent non-postoffice con-
trolled papers of this district, en-
deavoring to once more place the
grand old Sixth district on the polit-
ical map.
Getting down to brass tacks, Char
ley, you have too much sense to fall
for the Lindbergh bunk and are too
brainy to get under his hypnotic spell,
but there is an old saying about it be-
ing an ungratesful dog that bites the
hand which fed him, and the Herald
is willing to believe that you are en-
endeavoring to pay off a political
debt when you state, among other
things:
"The special interests thru
their agent, publish a list of a
few bills pretending or trying to
make it appear, that these are
the only ones Lindbergh has
brought up. They make no men
ton whatever of the vital things
which he has accomplished. In
every way they avoid discussion
of the work that has given Lind
bergh national reputation for
putting through real reform
measures. 1t is admitted by the
whole country that he forced the
open instead of secret meetings

G. o. P. SHOWS ITS coLoRs

(Medford, ( Or Daily Sun (Pro. Rep.) J
Senator Brlstow was one of the re-
publican politicians of sound progress,
sive principles who lacked the courage
to join the progressive party.
With HadIey, Cummins and other
members of the straddle squad, Bristow
declared the place for reform was with
in, not without, the G.. o. p.
So he ran against ex-senator Curtis
for the republican nomination in Kansas
and got fairly well walloped, as most
of the progressive republicans are get.
ting walloped now.
With the Penrose victory in Pennsyl.

war mustache that the republican party
as at present constituted is standing as
pat as the rock of Gibraltar. Hard
times, tae European war and other ca.
lamities are being capitalized by the old
guard as kind of Horse of Troy, in
which to make their way within the
walls of congress again.

freak and disturbing legislation, but
they are just as much opposed to crook
ed and privileged legislation. They dc
not want to go forward quite so fast
but they refuse to 90 backward.
The temper of the country in the
main is to take bearings, digest the leg
islation on hand, temper radicalism with
common sense, and, above all, put bust
ness upon a sound and substantial ba
sis again.
The trouble with Bristow was the in.
eyitable trouble with the timid.
He was neither fish nor fowl.
As a result, Victor Murdock, the pro
gressive candidate for senator, running
against man like Curtis, will have an
excellent chance of election and the
stock of the progressive party will gC
up notch all over the country.
