banker proves conclusively that Sem
ator Lobeck has the personal qualities
necessary to rally the reform voters
like that possessed by no other man in
the State, when given any kind of a
fair show.
So much for Lobeck's political
strength as heretofore shown at the
polls. His record as State Senator in
the last session was such as to win the
plaudits Of all his progressive COL
leagues, Of whatever party affiliation.
The temperance issue in the Seventh
District has entered into a new phase
There is not legalized saloon in the
district, it being the first congression-
al district of Minnesota to adopt prohi-
bition in every county. That phase of
the question has been settled for all
time. The new problems confronting
the people are better enforcement and
the repeal of such national laws as in
terfere with such enforcement of the
liquor laws. We need strong men at
Washington to emphasize this issue as
never before. Lobeck is the man who
can carry our fight into Congress.

the Move.
Special agents employed by the
Great Northern to travel along the line
and keep the members of the I. w. w.
and other sons of rest on the move
westward were in this city the last Of
the week. On Saturday one of the
agents got busy in the local yards and
lined up fourteen men. He then went
over to the freight depot and asked
cashier LundQuist to come over into
the ticket Office. The men were lined
up and told to buy tickets out of town.
All but one of them did 60 without
further parley but the unfortunate in
dividual who declared he didn't have
to get out if he didn't wish to, had
visions Of streak OF grey, and the
next thing he knew he was lying fiat
on his back over near the lunch ROOM
One blow from the powerful right Of
the agent was enough to work a
change Of heart in him, and he went
with the rest.
The same day a number of l. w.
WIS gave transient an awful beat
ing up out near the stockyards. The
victim refused to carry a card of the
union, and said he wanted work and
would work regardless Of what the
hours or wages were, ami as this is in
direct violation of the rules of the un-
ion, several of the 'Workers" pitched
onto him with disastrous results.

While he gives emphasis to this is
sue, he is right on all questions that
affect the welfare Of the District, and
the interests of the farmers especially
find in him an able champion.
The self-appointed Democratic can.
didate, Mr.. Townsend, will find it diff
fcult to make much headway. He is
a good man, as far as we know, and
filed with the best of motives, but he
has little if any public experience and
will poll those Democratic votes of
partisans who positively will not
scratch their ticket. The dry Demo-
Gratis will rally to the support of Mr.
Lobeck and the ultra-wet Democrats
will choose the lesser Of "two evils"
and vote for Volstead.
Congressman Volstead, who will
have represented the district fourteen
years when his present term expires,
is an able campafgner, and will no
doubt put up big fight. He has al
ways had his ear close to the ground
and has generally voted right to suit
the majority of his constituents. The
campaign against him, to succeed, will
have to be fought on high plane, and
Senator Lobeck fights in no other way.
OF course Mr.. Volstead has to face O.
good deal of disaffection within his
own party in many parts of the dis
trict. No man can please everybody.
These people will see in Senator Lo-
beck's candidacy an opportunity to
eliminate Volstead and every sign so
far points towards them making the
most of their opportunity. To the
common everyday citizen it will ap-
pear that fourteen years in Congress
is ample honor bestowed upon any one
man, and that new blood sent to Con-
gress will do no one an injustice, but
in this case will serve to emphasize
public demands and do well-earned
honor to an able public man of the
District. V. E. L.

MERCHANTS HOTEL
CHANGES HANDS
Purchased By G. ". burd|ck
Of Hotel Majestic Of
Minneapolis.

The Merchants Hotel property was
sold Monday by A. O. Bryant and wife
to c. w. Burdick, of Hotel Majestic,
Of Minneapolis. The purchase price
agreed upon is $4,000, and Mr. Bur-
dick is to take charge Sept. /.

Mr.. Burdlck came to inspect the prop
erty and Mr.. Bryant took him for a
spin around town, and then the former
was ready to talk business at once.
Mr.. Burdick left the same day for
Fargo to visit his aged mother and ex.
poets to be back here In the latter

expects to make extensive improve
ments on the property.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant have not yet
made their plans for the future. They
expect to remain at Wiumar for the
present at least, if they can secure
suitable apartments. Mr.. Bryant has
been the owner and has conducted the
Merchants in conjunction with the
Central Hotel, of which he is the les
see, nearly sixteen years, lacking but
two months. The Bryants came to

hotel from F. w. Minton, but conclud-
ed to buy the property.
The hotel was built in 1885, and at
that time was considered one of the
best hotels in Minnesota. It is a fine
paying property, but Mr.. Bryant real
lied that extensive improvements and
additions are necessary to keep up
with the demands of the times and
preferred to sell and retire from the
strenuous work of hotel landlord.

L0BECK'S CAMPAIGN

Approaching Campaign will Be
4 Real Contest t-lobeCk'S
Strength.

The Seventh District will this year,
1t is generally admitted, have a real
contest for Congress, something that
has not occurred since Congressman
Volstead was nominated in 1902, four
teen years ago. Senator Lobeck we'll
known in nearly every precinct in the
district as champion of clean govern
ment and temperance reform, has
thrown his nat in+o the ring, and the
way that erstwhile Republicans and
Democrats are flocking to his ban
ner, indicates that his candidacy as
sumes proportions that must be treat
ed seriously by the politicians.
In view Of the interest that thus
will be aroused in the district by this
contest a few facts may be Of inter-
est to enable one to get some idea Of
how the voters have lined up in the
past and what elements of strength
Lobeck possesses which must be
reckoned with.
Four years ago the fourteen cOun-
ties which now comprise the Seventh
District cast the following vote for
