HAS DANIEL FALLEN FOR THE
VOICE OF THE SIREN?

Since the memory Of man runneth
not to the contrary, Daniel w. Lawler,
once upon a time mayor Of st. Paul,
and who modestly admits that wears
no mans collar" has been the bull
raising Cain with the Democratic
china.
Ever and anon, mostly ever, during
the past two years, he has taken spe-
cial delight in publishing broadcast to
the world what he claimed were a
few plain facts about the double eros
sing ability of Fred Lynch, Minneso-
ta's Democratic boss. In order that
Dan might get it all out of his official
system he would break forth through
the columns of the public press, in let
ters and by word of mouth; in every
instance using the peculiar style for
which he is famous.
A few weeks ago it was rumored
from Washington that Daniel would
be rendered the ambassadorship to
Chile. This it seems, came without
Mr.. Lawler's seeking, and in comment
ing on the proffer rank outsider
would gather that it would be a
"chile" day in Hades before he would
"stulify" himself by accepting any
crumbs through the generosity of Mr..
Lynch. Mr.. Lawlers friends insisted
that the Chile portfolio was a plan to
get Dan as far away from Fred Lynch
and Minnesota as possible, and that
Dan would not fall for this very crude
game.
1t has been currently rumored in
various quarters of late that Mr.. Law
ler had been made to see the eight"
and that he would play the Lynch
game. In this connection it might be
mentioned that just at the present
time Mr.. Lynch is in desperate fight
for his political existence. Every
known political wire is being pulled
to save his official bacon. Monday
evenings st. Paul and Minneapolis
papers state that the Lynch and Law
ler forces will fight shoulder to shoul-
der to control the Democratic primar-
les in Ramsey county.
In the olden days, so the story goes.

THE SIXTH DISTRICT CONGRESS.
SIONAL SITUATION.

There will be numerous candidates
for the Republican nomination fol
Congress in the Sixth Minnesota dis.
trict this year.
The Herald has carefully canvasseo
the situation and we have arrived al
the conclusion that the nomination OF
Hon. u. b. Buckman of Little Falls
would be tor the best interests of the
district and state.
To any casual observer of condi-
tions it must be apparent that the Re-
publican party will take over the reins
of government again in March, 1917
President Wilson was elected by MI
nority vote of the people of the Unit
ed States. The Republicans have bur-
led their differences and will march on
to victory in November.
The incoming president should be
backed by Republican congress, and
will be. In this congress Minnesota
should be represented by solid Re-
publican delegation, made up of men
of ability, experience and sanely pro-
gressive.
Mr.. Buckman has been resident OF
Little Falls since 1880. He was en-
gagged in the lumber business for
many years, and also served his dis
trict in both the House and Senate of
the Minnesota legislature. The gen.
tleman was a member of the 58th and
59th congress-; his committee assign
ments were important and he looked
after the interests of his district with
fidelity.
A man seeking to serve in congress
must needs know the district and the
people he desires to represent. During
his 35 years residence in Morrison
county Mr.. Buckman has been in
touch with all portions of the Sixth
district. He konws Minnesota and her
needs. He has had ample experience
and is qualified to take up the work
where he laid it down few years
ago. Mr.. Buckman does not believe
the country is going to the bow-wows.
He has faith in the nation and is en-
thusiastic over the future of Mime
sofa and particularly the Sixth Con-
gressional district.
Many of the most prominent men
and newspapers in the district are sup
porting Mr.. Buckman for the nomina-
tion. These men have known him for
years, they have confidence in his
ability and know that he will stand for
Republican principals and Republican
legislation.
The Herald has not one word to say
detrimental to other candidates seek
ing the nomination, nor will it have.
In deciding to support Mr.. Buckman
we are convinced that his election will
mean the redeeming the Sixth dis
trict, placing it on stable and useful
foundation once more.-A. M. w.

been a very harmonious gathering
with every man having razor con-

Vaughn Blanks
Giants in First
Game zvith Cubs

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Joe Tinker's dis
nal Cubs played a dog-in-the-manger
trick on John McGraw's volplaning
Giants this afternoon. Mac was very
much in need of a victory. 1t would have
broken the monotony of disaster that
has fallen thickly round his ears since
the little Napoleon started his retreat
to the West via Philadelphia.
But, though a game more or less
couldn't possibly do the Cub cause any
great harm or good, Chicago just
naturally had to start in where the
Phillies left off Big Jim Vaughn shut
out Slim Sallee in a southpaw duel by
score of to 0.
1t was a heart-breaking game for
Slim. He lost the battle before he
warmed to the fray. A pass to Zeider,
the first batter up for Chicago, COM
pletely erased one of the finest pitch
ing performances Sallee had shown as
a Giant. Two easy infield outs followed
this walk but they were outs that let
Rollie of the bunon, hot-foot first to
second and then to third. Fritz Moll-
WITT doubled and for New York the
day was done.
- Then, nor any time after, did any
censure accrue to the account of Slim.
The Giants never could have won any
how. They couldn't get even one run
off stingy Vaughn, and without run
Sallee could not hope to triumph. In
every inning but the second New York
had one man or more on the paths, at
times with none out, The pinch hit,
evidently. was overlooked
This. fifth straight defeat was about
the bitterest dose of medicine handed
to the Giants on the road this year.
This on account of the many lost OPP
portunities. Doyle singled with one
out in the first. Sallce doubled and
Burns beat a bunt with none gone in
the third. Slim was caught mapping
off the near corner. With one out
Fletcher singled in the fourth. Sallee
walked under like conditions in the
fifth. Herzog ambled starting the
sixth. Burns opened the eighth with a
single And still no run.
But the bitterest dregs were reserved
till the ninth inning when the Giants
filled the bases with only one out and
still to no purpose. Robertson opened
this inning with a hit. Woman threw
cut Fletcher. Lobert batted for Kauff
and walked. II was the first time
Benny, as a Giant, had ever been taken
out for pinch hitter. Merkle singled
through Zeder, filling the bases.
Rocker hit to Mollwitz and Robertson
was forced at the plate. Kelly batted
for Sallee and Knabe threw him out
for the last play of the day.
The score follows:
