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

heaped its scurrilOus effusions upon
the editor of theSheaf because we in
short editorial the week before had
stated as follows: 1.-THE liquor in
terests and the railroads proved a 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-
ed. Flow much money was used for
turning the voters against him will
never be known" We believe that
everything contained in the above ed
itorial is true. That Senator Sund-
berg in his legislative career had an

referred to above is d we'll known
fact, and they naturally did what
they could to defeat him. We do not
say that these interests had any pal.
ticular love for Mr.. Keynes, but they
hated him less than, Sundberg. He
had not had the chance to do them
any harm yet. We do not believe
Mr. Keynes will deny that he profit
politically by the antipathy of the
liquor interests and the railroad in
forests 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 he has not As an incident in
the campaign it was simply Mr. Heg-
mes 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 clean and able man and il he
lives up to his pre- election promises
to the people and his work merits
approval, he shall have no stauncher3
supporter than the Sheaf
But what shall we I say Of Thomp-
scr of the Banner? When he is cor
nere5' OF hit by some shaft of truth,
that he can not dodge, he Immediate
" opens UP his mud battery and be-
gins TO call names. This is not the
first 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
aspats" with nearly every newspaper
in the county and it is not long sinca
that he conducted an abusive cam
palgn 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 Webster's dictionary contains
some words that would aptiy 6t His
case, but we will not look them IN.
Yet, the foot and mouth disease of
which we hear 50 much now-a-davs
may possibly be the correct diagno-
SIS Of his inalady. He first puts his
foot IN it and next in his unfortunate
dllelnMa he resorts to abusive words.
But we can readily, forgive Thomp-
son for the abusive epithets he hurls
at US. They do not harm us in the
least. However, when he makes
slighting remarks about s'lut-fishn
the far-famcd national dish of Nor
Way and Sweden. de does something
that thousands of the sturdy sons and
daughters from these ,far-away lands
on the other side Of the deep blue
sea, will resent to the utmost. The
slur does not affect us so much as he
thinks, in as much as we are native
born American citizen, yet our SYM
pathies are with the lut-hsh and all
that it represents of what is good,
true and noble in Scandinavian civil
ization. What Englishman would not
resent disparaging remarks about
English plum pudding, or what Ger
mans hair would not. stand On end

would not be safe for him to live in
Argyle, But really, Thompson, YOU
caght to experiment and ascertain
what effect lut-fsh might have on
ycu. Come down to one Of the Tut
fish suppers for which Warren is fa-
NOUS and ill up on lut-fish and YOU
will be a better man for It, provided
you have any manhood left worth
saving. It will make you better
lover Of truth and your old cynicisln
and prejudice will disappear Lut-fsh
is also said to be an infallible remedy
for the foot and mouth disease, espe-
cially the latter. Come, Thompson,
and have some lut-fish for replenish-
