DEMOCRATS LEADING
BY 5000 IN MINNESOTA
Republicans Expressed Belief that Re-
turns from Rural Districts Would
Turn Victory to Hughes.

St Paul, Mimi. Nov s.-When the re-
turns from one-tenth of the precincts in
Minnesota had been tabulated early to-
day, President Wilson was leading
Hughes by nearly 5000 votes, the count
for 30l of the 1924 precincts being:
Wilson, 30,349; Hughes 25,433. Most
of the returns were from the three larg.
est cities of the state, Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Duluth
Republicans expressed confidence that
the full returns from the rural districts
would turn the tide to Hughes. The
Democrats maintained that the present
ratio, which would give Wilson a plural
ity of 1892, would be maintained.
The available returns showed that Kel-
logg, the Republican candidate for SEN
ator. was leading Daniel W Lawler,
Democrat, of st. Paul. Governor J. J..
Burnquist, Republican, was reelected by
big plurality.

LET BOY CHOOSE HIS CAREER
Sons Should Not Take Up Work Sim.
ply to Please Parents, Says
Noted Writer.

Given basis of good character,
good health and thoroughness, the
choice of life work is the next great
influence upon boy. Many foredoom
their son to failure by trying to force
him to crafty their ambitions in a
calling for which he has neither in.
terest nor ability, instead of helping
him to develop his own individuality.
The false idea that there is social
distinction in certain professions is
the basis of many failures that might
have been successes in other Callings.
Wherever We look we see failures,
many of whom were men of undoubted
ability, whose talents were misdirect-
ed. You, whose sons have their future
all before them, can guard against
shipwreck by studying their taste, d.
recting their abilities and discussing
with them the problem of their future.
II yo,, cannot afford to see them
through a long term of training for
some profession, discuss the matter
freely ST that they will appreciate the
necessity of turning their interest into
other channels-unless they can work
their way through their training with.

THINK WITH THEIR LUNGS
Too Many People Of That Type VIII
Be Found infesting Almost Every
Community.

A new expression has been invent
ed-and like a great many other mod
ern expressions. 1t conveys mean
ing that nothing else could convey.
Lung thinker"-that's the newest A
fellow who thinks with his lungs
rather chan with his head; the loud.
mouthed, rattle-brained. irresponsible
chap with good voice-he's lung
thinker" And the worst Of 1t is we
have a good many OF them with US al
ways.
Usually you can tell just about how
much a man knows by the tone OF his
voice. Certainly when you hear a
man talking upon street car. in n
tone of voice that can be hearu from
one end of it to the other, you know
that he is lung thinker" When a
man tries to win an argument by
voice rather than by reason, he has
nothing else but his voice to depend
upon.
We predict that the term lung
thinker" has come to stay. 1t means
SO much. it so aptly expresses the
character of some people, 1t can be so
easily applied without danger of max
ing mistake in applying it, that we
predict we shall eventually incorpo'
rate it into the language and print It
in the dictionaries.-Dayt News.
