impossible to plan for the future. ana
there is little or nothing to do FOR the

But through it all we have a pretty
good time. The blue days are not as
frequent as one would imagine. we get
scared sometimes but not often, and
usually when one fellow is scared the
other Is not, and vice versa. We go to the

gets stale. for each succeeding govern

No Parallel in History.

ABOUT THE STATE.
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
WANT PRESIDENT AT FAIR
Minnesota State Board Decides to Elk
tend an Invitation to Nations
Chief Executive.

A determined effort is to be made
to induce President Woodrow Wilson
to speak at the Minnesota state fair
this fall, as a result of a definite
plan worked out and approved by the
fair board. A special attempt will be
exerted to obtain the president for
Labor day, Sept. 6, the opening day
of the fair.
The fact that the average attend
ance at the Labor day celebration at
the Minnesota state fair averages be-
tween 10000 and 100000 persons and
gives the president an opportunity to
meet more people at one time than
any place else in the country is to be
used as a strong incentive in persuad-
ing the president to make the trip.
According to the plan of the board,
which is to be worked out in detail
by a special committee consisting of
Charles Patterson of st. Paul, Presi,
dent Charles p. Craig of Duluth and
Secretary John Simpson, a leading
representative of each of the national
parties, and a possible candidate for
the presidency, will be invited to
speak on a special day.
1t was decided to reduce the SEIZED
uled automobile racing program of
two days, in which a 200-mile race
was to have been the feature, to a
one-day program on Saturday. A
speed program with some special
horses for purses aggregating $4,000
was substituted for Wednesdays auto
race program

LEGISLATOR MAKES CHARGE
Says He Was Offered 5000 for His
Vote on Speakership.

Charles Hegna, Dodge county farmer,
is the man who told Thomas Tollefson,
member of the last legislature from
West Concord, that there is 5000 in
it for you if you will support Flowers
for speaker" according to a state
ment issued by Tollefson.
The alleged offer was made near
the Ryan hotel at st. Paul, Tollefson
said, the week after the conference
at the Merchants hotel at which he
and forty-one other members of the
house pledged their support to S. Y.
Gordon of Browns Valley for speaker.
Tollefson said after investigating the
source of the offer he rejected it.
Mr.. Hegna, over the long distance
telephone, said there was nothing to
the charge.
The statement was issued through
G. j. Buell. of st. Paul, who first made
the charge that an attempt at bribery
had been made at a public meeting
in Minneapolis recently.
