The ORGANIZATION. s
The grsst task of the Commission
and one of the essential fundamental
ideas back OF its creation was the
mobilization of the sentiment Of our
people for the war; the populariza-
tion of the war idea for the ,prctec-
tion Of national honor, perpetual
world peace and the safeguarding OF
democratic forms pf government.
This task has been one Of the
greatest problems of t.e Commission
Of Public Safety, 10 which all others

meant that the mental attitude and
disposition of a large majority with
regard to the war and Sits problems

the platform. literature and every
means of expression that could be
brought to bear. S. r
At the time of the entry of this ma

The Minnesota Commission oi
Public Safety is an organization that

The result has been something that
is source of pride to Governor
Burnquist, and all members of the
Public Safety Commission, whom We
all honorably regard as the center
OF every patriotic endeayor III our
state. Less than five changes have
been made in county chairnanships
and this only because Of III health or
call to wider sphere of patriotic
service. This is record that can
not be shown by any other state so
far as can be ascertained.

1T is stated, without the slightest

the most fearlessly faithful and most

An Economical Proposition.
The creation of the Commission
meant that thousands of dollars would
be saved to the people of Minnesota.
Without it, It might have become
necessary to continue the Legislature
IN session almost continually In or
der to take up public matters with
respect to the present war conditions
and activities that are constantly pre-
senting themselves for adjustment.
For this purpose q body of nearly
two hundred men with widely differ
ing opinions, would have proven un-
wieldly, expensive and slow as to re-
suits, With small organization OF
but seven members appointed for the
one great patriotic task of placing
cur state in position to do its full
share in the war, and with this idea

after conscientious and broad minded
deliberation, our state has made Won

that the Commission is Minnesota's
