BUsHwHACKING POLITICS

During the Civil war there were
"bushwhackers" on both sides of the
struggle. They were scattering
gangs who concealed themselves in
the woods along the roads and fired
into any detachment of soldiers on the
opposite side that might be march,
ing by, and then skedaddling as fast
as their horses could carry them.
They were responsible to nobody and
neither army would claim response
bility for them.
There is a secret political or re-
ligious organization-and religious
does not mean Christian, for one may
be even fanatically religious without
being a Christian-in st. Louis, and
we suppose it extends to other cities
and out into rural districts to some
extent. 1t has no visible head, only
a post-office box where its mail and
contributions are received, and it
| sends out its screeds from secret
burrow. 1t styles itself the "Inde-
pendent Voters League" but it is too
narrow and prejudiced to entertain an
independent, generous thought, too
cowardly to fight in the open, and
shoots its poisoned and malignant ar
rows from ambush. 1t is bush
whacking political gang and has but
one idea-an insane, bigoted hatred of
Catholics.
This gang of political freebooters
would have the people believe that it
is a powerful organization of far
reaching influence that holds the des-
TIMES of political parties in its hands.
1t also presumes to suggest to free
American citizens for whom they
should vote, and to candidates that
they must show themselves clear of
| Catholic sentiment or association to
secure its support. 1t sends out a
list of candidates of both parties with
marks of approval or disapproval to
each for the voters guidance. Those
whom it pretends to favor are marked
"American;" those upon whom it's ban
is placed are marked "Romanistp or
"Pro- -Romanist". The -Romanist,
according to its classification, is a
member of the Catholic Church, the
Romanist is a member Of any or no
religious organization who may as
sociate with or employ some Cath
olic in a public or private position.
Thus it has placed its ban on Pres
ident Wilson, who is Presbyterian,
because his private secretary is a
Romanist, of Jesuit-training, it
claims. In the same fanatical blind
ness it places its benediction upon
Judge Hughes because his private
secretary is ga Thirty-second Degree
Mason" and hence must be anti-Ro
manist. 1t mathematics Col. Card
ner because, 1t claims, he had a large
Catholic support in st. Louis at the
primary election, although the Col
onel is prominent communicate of
the Protestant Church
The leagues designations of the
religious beliefs and leanings Of the
candidates also are misleading to say
the least, even if one were disposed to
follow its blind and fanatical leading;
but aside from all else, can any organ
ization, secret or otherwise, that flies
in the face of one of our nations most
cherished creeds-civil and religious
liberty-be patriotic organization
Are not its adherents, whether they
can see it or not, traitors to that
principle?

You want a business State admins
tration. You can get it by electing
Frederick d. Gardner for Governor.
He is an experienced business man
who has made big success in the
management of his own business, and
he will give his ability, energy and
ripe experience to make as great a
success of the States business.

The right to vote is as much q duty
as it is a privilege, and voting is q
mark of good citizenship. Ours is a
democratic government and every
Democrat ought to show his apprecia-
tion of the fact by going to the polls
next Tuesday and voting for contin-
uation of Democratic peace, progress
and prosperity.
The Farmington times., 1916-11-03

President Wilson aptiy describes
Colonel Roosevelt, without mention
ing his name, as "the vocal element
of the many-sided opposition now
masquerading as the Republican par
ty. And he might allude to Judge
Hughes as "the echo of the vocal ele-
ment"-imperfect, it is true, but still
an echo.
The Farmington times., 1916-11-03

Judge Hughes says that when he
sent his telegram to Col. Roosevelt
indorsing the Colonel's Lewistowr
speech scoring Germany and the "hy /,
phenates", he hadn't read the speech.
With that as well as his other cam
paign utterances, the Judge appeared
to be "going it blind. 1t was labeled
"Teddy" and he thought he had to
swallow it.

MONEY NEEDED TO FIGHT MnS
TER RUST

The legislature of Minnesota and
Wisconsin are to to be asked to appro-
pirate funds with which to fight the
white pine blister rust which iB a men
ace to the white pine industry in
both states.
The determination to ask the legis-
lature Of the two states for money was
reached at conference neA at Uni!
versity Farm, st. Paul, not long since.
At this conference were DR.. Haven
Metcaf, head of the department Of
forest pathology, bureau of plant in
dustry, United States department Of
agriculture; DR.. E: D. Ball, Wiscon-
sin nursery insnection services. Director
A. F. Woods, DR.. E. M. Freeman and
F. L. Washburn, Minnesota expert
ment station; D. P. Tierney, Minneso-
ia forest service and E. G.. Cheyney,
Minnesota college of forestry.
The action taken was based upon
the facts, that the disease is known
to exist in Minnesota and Wiconsin,
that it's spread will mean the destruc-
ton Of all future growth of white pine
in the two states, and that in order
to stamp it out provision must be
made for "scouting out'' the infec-
ton and applying remedial measures.

HENS RECOMMENDED BY COuN-
TY AGENTS

The poultry committee at the recent
farm bureau conference at University
Farm, st. Paul, believes that more
work for the development Of, the
poultry industry is needed, because: ,
Considering its Importance, less has
been done for it than for any other
livestock industry, by farm bureaus
The possible profits are Of import
ance to every farm.
Poultry production costs no more
per pound than the production Of
other kinds of livestock, yet the meat
sells at much higher rate.
The committee, moreover, believes
that the farm flock should be encour-
aged rather than the large specialized
poultry enterprise; that poultry work
is especially adapted to boys' and
girls club. work, and that farm bu-
reaus in encouraging the work should
not overlook the development of tho
the cooperative marketing Of eggs
through local creameries, or assistance
for poultry shows and associations.
