Scotland and Of Scotland's sweet sing
er. the world over, are paying hon.
age to the memory of Robert Burns.
In the camps of Scottish regiments on
the grim battle lines of Europe this
night are being sung the songs Of
Burns and in many a camp the elO-
quence of many Scotchman will be
taxed to stir the mind and heart and
bring back the ''Hame an fireside"
made sacred by the lines Of Burns.
Robert Burns had a place in his
heart for all creation and especially
the suffering. He had no tolerance
for the cruel and base. Where is the
second man who could stop his plough
while he sang "To Mountain Daisy"
or croOued to a mouse he had just
turned out OF it's home by his plough
share. 1t was back yonder before hu-
name societies had begun to do their
work that Burns, on seeing a wound
ed hare limp by him, cried out in the
agony of his wounded soul:

tend the convention at st. Paul. This
will be done at a mass meeting which
will take place Thursday afternoon
January 81, at the Mankato city hall
In all likelihood at this meeting
there will be much talk over the
question OF what democrats should be
the delegates and alternates Of the
second congressional district. Promi-
nent democrats of Mankato seem to
have given the subject very little at
tention, even at this late hour. At all
events, if they have any definite plans
at all, they are not talking freely
about them. 1t will be remembered
that Lee Champlin went to the ma
tional democratic convention from
Mankato four years ago. Whether
Mankato democrats will claim the
right to send delegate this year re-
mains to be seen. Quite a prominent
candidate has loomed up at Fulda,
Mimi, in the person of Charles Hele-
Wig.
There seems to be considerable
strength given to the candidacy of any
who seek to be chosen at primary
in the fact of their having been NOM
Hammond, after being placed in NOM
nation for governor by a state dem
ccratic convention had hard race
with Daniel w. Lawler for the nom
ination at the hands of the voters. 1t
is generally conceded that, without
the support of the convention he
would have been defeated by Mr..
Lawler.
Some of the local democrats have
an idea that the coming state gath
ering of democrats at st. Paul will
not only make up a list of delegates
and alternates for the voters of the
party to support, but will discuss and
perhaps even name a ticket for the
coming state election. 1t is a pretty
early date to do that, but it would
not cause any great surprise.
The time for the selection of the
national convention delegates by the
voters of this state is now not far
away The date of the presidential
primary is March IA, the day of the
town elections, and the chances are
that the double election will bring out
an uncommonly heavy vote

There Will Be But Very Little
To County Election This
Year; Reason
Democrats Are to Hold Mass
Conference to Select Con-
ventiOn Delegates

There will be little to the Blue
Earth county election this year, as
nearly all the officers hold over, hav-
ing four-year terms. A judge of pro-
bate, three county commissioners ant
two state legislative representatives
will be chosen this year. Judge Evar
Hughes of the probate court intends
to file for another term of two years.
The four-year terms of w. HI. Comp
ton of Eagle Lake, commissioner OF
the first district Evan J. Davis OF
Lake Crystal, third district, and Ole
K. Olson of Sterling, fifth district, all
expire this year. The same is true OF
the two-year terms of Blue Earth
county's two representatives in the
state legislature, John G. Gerlach of
Mankato, and H. o. Thompson OF
Amboy All of the candidates must
file on or before May 20, according to
a ruling by Attorney General Smith
1t is thought that Messrs. Gerlach and
Thompson will again be candidates
for the legislature.
The fact that this is a presidential
year will cause the campaign to liven
uD COnS1Q6TdDi6, DIS SJdI0 dllu Gun :
gressional tickets will be in the field
this year.
Perhaps the state democratic COM
mittee has been afraid that not enough
delegates to the national democratic
convention would file to give the Min
nesota democrats their full quota to
send to the ST. Louis gathering. This
may be the main reason for calling
the state democratic conference to
take place at st. Paul on February 8
At that gathering the intention is to
name delegates and alternates for each
of the congressional districts, as was
done by state conventions in days of
yore, only they must file and be elected
at the presidential primaries, or they
cannot represent the Minnesota dem
ocrats at the national convention. The
national convention will renominate
President Wilson in spite of the an
ti-second term plank adopted at the
Baltimore convention.

BREMEN STARTS DASH

BERLIN, Aug. 24.-The mer-
chant submarine Deutschland ar
rived safely Wednesday afternoon
at the mouth of the Weser river
and began steaming slowly up The
river to Bremen, its home port.
On her trip the Deutschland
eluded eight British warships and
many American fishing schooners
off the Virginia capes.
Capt. Koenig said today that
the allies had hired schooners to
spread fishing nets in an endeav-
or to locate the submarine.
He also declared that the allies
observed American neutrality, re-
naming outside the three-mile
limit.
The Deutschland was submerg-
ed Ito miles during her 1900
mile voyage.
The weather was fine most of
the way, but there was a heavy
fog and storm near the English
coast. The thick mist delayed the
Deutschland's arrival for several
days. -,
All Bremen is joyous. The
streets are decorated. Bells we're
rung to greet the arrivals.
There were affecting scenes
when relatives met the sailors.

Two and one half tons of
perfectly good liquor, valued
ut $4,000, were dumped into
the Puyallup river Thursday
shortly before noon by coun-
ty and city officials.

the fact that half car of liquor
was en- route from San Fran
cisco to this city billed as ma
chinery and dry goods.
A long vigil followed and Capt.

Thursday morning when his men
pried open the lids of several of
the boxes in the car which was
side-tracked In the O.-W. yards

tion Of bonded goods.

cided he would not take the trou-

A truck was procured and the
contents loaded aboard. With the
aid of Officers Milone and Os-
burn, Thompson strong armed the
boxes and dumped the contents
into the Puyallup river.
There were five barrels of

ceptive coverings" Fackler said.

right to dump the stuff as there
were no permits covering the
shipment.

The car was consigned to Au-
burn.
The names of the consignees
was purposely withheld by county
officials as the case will be trans
ferred to the federal government
with a view towards prosecuting
the purchasers on a charge of vio-
lating the interstate commerce
laws regarding the shipment of
liquor into dry state.
Ii was intimated that the
men to whom the liquor was
billed controlled the liquor
business in Tacoma.
