How About Mr.. HeIgesen7
Parcels Post
While the position taken by Mr.
Helgesen on the Parcels Post bill
may be in a way ancient history.
yet 1t shows his disposition
whether for Or against the inter-
ests Of the people.
In LaFollette's Weekly Maya
zine Of June 9Th, 1912, under the
title "A Fake Post" reference is
made to the vote in the House, of
May 2nd, 1912, when the Fake
Parcels POST bill was before the
house, when, as ii is stated i'm La
Follette's: "Attempts we're made
on the floor to amend the measure
so as to make it apply universal
ly."
Later on LaFollette says
The test vote came ON the pre-
vlous question on May 2nd. Ev-
cry member who voted for the
previous question, voted to shut
OIL amendment. He voted for the
rake parcels post and in the in
terests of the EXPRESS TRUST.
mr.. HeIgesen Voted for the Pre-
yious Question.
" The fact that he may have later
voted for fair law does not ex.
cuse his action in voting for the
previous question and thus en-
deavoring to betray the people.
On November 9TH, vote for a
man who is always right.
Rural Credits Law
In the Evening Herald (Grand
Earks,) Sept. 22nd, 1916, MIR,
Helgesen attacks the Rural Crci-
It's Bill and dcsignates it as -,
fraud pure and simple the bigges,
mat was ever put across on the
farmers of North Dakota"
Mr.. helgesen voted for that law
Banking Law
In inns same issue Mr.. Helgese,l
Sc the banking law (Eedcral Re-
serve act was drawn up i'm tho
office of the Wall Street ,JourpaJ
ect.
He voted for It.
Child Labor Lam
AT Cavalier, October nth. 1914
ana at other places, Mr.. Helgc sen
severity criticised the law enacted
by Congress to- prohibit Child
Labor.
He voted for It.
If Mr.. HrIgcscn knew that Rural
'rcd1ts Laws was a fraud-Why
did he vote for il?
Ii il is fraud and he did NOT
know it-W'lIy didn't he know IN
If the law is a good one 1--WE All
know it isg then is Mr.. Hclgesen
honest with The voters of his dis.
trIcttrict when he designates it as
a fraud.
The same questions may proper
~ be asked regarding his vote and
later his remarks witt, respect tn
the Banking Law and Child Labor
ana the Railway Eight Hour a Day
Law.
With respect TO the Child Labor
Law we call attention to the stat.
fnent OF Senator Cummins of Iowa
under date Of September 23rd.
1916. when in speaking of crit
lcisms of the Child Labor Law
such have been made by Mr. Hell
sescn the Senator said:
These criticisms are without
any foundation whatsoever and the
persons who are giving them pub
lIclty are either insincere or in
! competent.''
Where Can You Place Him.
If he voted for a law knowing
m to be fraud-He was dishon-
EST with the people.
If he voted for a fraudulent
Dill NOT knowing it-He was and
is incompetent.
IT he voted for a law knowing it
10 DC good and then for political
effect, and to belittle President
Wilson. called it a fraud on the
larmers-He is again dishonest
with the people.
In either event he is an unsafe
man-his mind too changeable to
he trusted with the welfare of the
people of this district. :
