as our business grows in volume and

to give the matter of credit and the

pay their individual debts 50 far as

munity.
The people of Redwood and Lincoln
counties, and elsewhere, who know Mr.
Mohler will be pleased to hear of his can
didacy, and hope for his success. He was
successful as practitioner while in Min
nesota, and he developed temperament
that will make him a successful man on

If you vote against the president in No

is no more than fair and right that before
you make up your mind to deal this re-
buke, you ask yourself-and insist upon

are rebuking him for, and whether, tax
ing him and his administration all in all
he deserves rebuke.-Duluth Herald.

REBUKING The PRESIDENT

If you cast your ballot against President
Wilson in November, you vote to rebuke
him.
What for?
Just cast your mind back over all that
has happened in the last three or four
years, over all he has faced, over all he
has gone through, over all he has accom-
pished and all the perils he has braved
and the perplexities he has had to solve,
and ask yourself this question candidly,
what hash done or failed to do that
should vote to rebuke him?''
And, having tried to answer that ques-
ton, ask yourself another: What has he
done that I, in his place, knowing what
he did and seeing the maze of conditions
from his viewpoint, would have done diff
ferently? What has he failed to do that
/, in his place, would have done?'
For what would you, now, rebuke the
president?
For avoiding an inglorious war with
Mexico?
For exhausting all possible and honor
able means Of adjusting the vexing and
difficult situation without resortlng to
war?
For keeping America out of the war
in Europe?
For refusing to let war-maddened Euro
pean nations override the rights of Ameri-
ca?
For promoting reasonable preparedness
for national defense?
For resisting those who sought to make
the new federal reserve system the pawn
iof great financial interests, or for insist
ing upon placing it under government con-
troll?
For demanding that the nations pledged
word be kept in the matter Of the Pana-
ma canal tolls?
For urging congress to keep the pledge
his party had made to reduce the tariff
taxes that everybody pays and to shift a
part of the burden of national taxation
from the shoulders of the consumers of
those Of the rich through the income tax
