SECRETARY OF THE MINNESOTA

OPTIMISTIC REPORT.

Lawson, secretary of the Minnesota
State Federation of Labor, who spent
several days in Winona.
In the building trades the men
were at work longer than for years, "
Mr.. Lawson said. 1.-THE quiet spell,
which annually is experienced in these
lnions, developed this year about De-
,ember 1 when men were driven away
because of the cold. A year ago there
was a general suspension about Oc-
:Ober l.
"A year ago there was much anX.
iety, in some places bordering on pes
simism. This year I find that every
where conditions are greatly improv-
ed. Minnesota's people and cities are
doing things. The wars effects now
are almost negligible, so far as they
affect labor circles.'
The labor federation already is
planning for the 1916 convention at
Hibbing, when an interesting fight on
women's suffrage, which has started
throughout the state, will have the
climax.

Harm Done by Aertzlan Waves.
Ever since the extensive commercial
employment OF wireless telegraph
there have been many who believe
that the powerful Hertzian waves sc
riously affect organic life. In fact
some have even suggested that laws
or regulations should be enacted tt
protect organic life against wireless
waves. With q view to determining
the extent and nature of the radio
waves influence on organic life and
climate, DR.. c. Abel-Musgrave recent
" asked several questions on the sub
ject to be answered by number Of
prominent German scientists. The
summary of their answers was tina,
wireless waves have no influence on
organic life, nor do they alter climatic
conditions, although it is true tina,
certain electrical stresses are capable

Minneapolis, Minn.-Following the
burial of the late Governor Hammond
at St.. James, James A. Peterson of
Minneapolis issued a statement in
which he, says that in the interest of
harmony in the Republican ranks he
will abandon his intention to become
a candidate for the Republican guber-
Material nomination and will, on the
contrary, support J. A. A. Burnquist
In this delicate hour.
lverson Remains In Race.
Mr.. Iverson, in direct contrast with
Mr.. Peterson, made statement, upon
learning Of Mr.. Peterson's announce
ment, that he would remain in the
governorship race.
"The untimely passing away of Gov
ernor Hammond" said Mr.. Iverson,
will make no change in my campaign
plans. My friends, who are many in
the state, and among whom are many
newspapermen, have for months con-
nected my name with the governor
ship. l am for business administra-
ton and law enforcement. My friends
have recommended me for the posi-
ton because Of my long experience in
state office, and they say that 1 can
bring about change in state admin

While Mr.. Peterson had made no
definite announcement of his candi-
dacy for the Republican gubernatOria1
nomination it has been we'll under
stood and little concealed that it was
his plan to enter the field to contest
for that honor.
In his statement Mr.. Peterson takes
the attitude that reunion of the Re-
publican party and the regaining OF
the control of both state and ma
tional governments are more impor-
tant that his own ambition to be the
Republican standard bearer in Mime
sofa next fall.
