souabbIe over Moving offices.

During the past few months the
capitol commission has had many
quarrels with the state officials as to
who, or what officials, should be
moved into the new quarters being
prepared in the old capitol, and the
problem is not as yet solved. Reply
ing to the request for his opinion on
this matter, Land Commissioner
Brown insists that the governor, at.
torney general, secretary Of state, au.
ditor, treasurer, revenue agent and
land commissioner must remain in
the same building-the new capitol.
He says he has business with all OF
these officials nearly every day in the
year, and that it would be hardship
on his office to be quartered in the old
capitol, requiring many trips between
stations.

JEWISH CONGRESS ELECTION IN
THE NORTHWEST.

DR.. Gordon to Represent Minneapolis.
Despite the fact that the election OF
DR.. Geo. j. Gordon from the Minneapolis
district was foregone conclusion, over
twenty-three hundred Jews turned out
to the polls and cast their votes for
the candidates. AS expected DR.. Cor
don was elected by a tremendous ma
jority, receiving 1871 votes to 448 for
Rabbi C. D. Matt. DR.. Geo. J. Gordon
early in the campaign was adopted by
the Jewish Socialists as their candidate
and it is largely to- their efforts that
there was such a big turn out at the
polls. The voting took place in eight
of the synagogues, the Talmud Torah,
the Gymal Doled hall, and the Temple
House. The campaign had all the ear
marks of regular election, there being
even judges, election clerks, and regular
ly printed ballots.
DR.. Barron to Represent St. Paul.
In a contest which within the few days
before the Congress election took the
aspect of political campaign, DR.. Moses
Barron was elected last Sunday, as the
delegate from St. Paul to the Jewish
Congress, to convene at Washington, on
September End. A vote of approximate
ly twelve hundred was cast, being
divided about two to one. The splendid
vote cast for Mr.. Loevinger, in view of
the lack of effort on his behalf until the
last few days before the election, is a
tribute to his popularity.
DIR. Lefkovits Choice Of Minnesota
District.
DR.. Maurice Lefkovits was elected by
a two to one vote over Solomon Bublick
Of Eveleth for representative Of the
Minnesota district which includes all the
cities in che state outside of Minneapolis

WILSON'S REPLY TO THE POPE

WILSON'S REPLY TO THE POPE.
President Wilson voices the senti-
ments of the nation when in his note
to Pope Benedict he states that there
can be no peace with Prussian autOc-
racy. There can be no status quo
ante bellum unless the agreement has
back of it the guaranty of the German
people. There can be no more pacts
with their blood-thirsty rulers. The
Hohenzollerns are no better than out
laws, hated and spurned as they are
by nearly the entire world.
Economic equality, not domination,
is President Wilson's idea of the basis
of peace, but he refuses to entertain
in behalf of the American people any
proposals not backed by democrat.
lied Germany. There must be dis
armament and condonement before
the allied nations lay down their
arms. The peace of the world is too
sacred to jeopardiZe anew, and PreSi-
dent Wilson insists that the war must
be fought out now rather than endure
the agony again as the result of a
patched up peace that recognizes the
sovereignty of the Prussian butchers
The American people are solidly be-
hind President Wilson and determined
to fiAt for lasting peace--a peace
with honor.
