posed to the further increase of ap-
preparations for army and naval pur-
poses, and has asked the senators and

sents the sentiment Of the organiza-
tion in this section of the state.

for the enactment Of rural credits, a

Lobeck Comes to Warren.

State Senator e. E. Lobeck of
Alexandria is making an extended
speaking campaign thru the north
western part Of the state in the in
terests Of statewide prohibition
which will be the paramount issue in
Minnesota politics this year. He will
be in Warren on Monday, Jan. oath,
where he speaks in North Star
College at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Senator Lobeck introduced the
!statutery hill for statewide pr9hibii-
tion IN the State Senate last winter
and made a speech for it which the
Minneapolis Journal declared was the
best speech Of the whole legislative
session. The bill failed of passage
last year, but with the election Of
new house this year to show the
sentiment Of the people Of the state
on the subject Of statewide prohibi-
tion, it is hoped that enough senators
will want to represent the will of the
people to vote for its passage next
winter
It isn't the first time that Senator
Lobeck has had to introduce a bill
twice before he could secure its pas
sage. While serving his first term in
the House, eight years ago, he intro
duced two bills against white slave
traffic, both Of which were buried in
committees. Mr.. Lobeck then took
the stump between sessions and when
he was reelected to the next House,
he again introduced these two bills
which are now amongst the laws Of
| the state
Senator Lobeck's platform ability
is so we'll known all over this state,
that the mere announcement that he
is to speak here insures a crowded
house.
