1.-THE Worlds War. 7"

On April 5th last Congressman
Lundeen made a speech in Con-
gress which will undoubtedly be
largely quoted in the political
campaign of next year, for then it
will be that the voters of this and
other states will have an opportun-
ity to register their opinions
against the act of Congress which
declared war.
The following quotations are
extracts from Mr. Lundeen's
speech:
The right to vote on war will
soon be seized by the people of
the earth. Since the President
hurriedly advanced the special
session from April Is to 2, and on
account of the OK team mail SER
vice now so general, my returns
are not complete at tnis hour, but
they run about 10 to l against de-
claring war on Germany. A pre-
limlnary count discloses nearly
5000 against declaring wsr and
less than 300 for war. The final
count will not materially change
the situation. We have enough
ballots to feel certain as to the
result.
IL do not believe congressman
should trouble his constituents
with referendum or vote on min
or questions, but questions of great
national Importance, such as war
and CONSUMPTION and any other
.great dominant issue, can easily
be submitted by the congressman
to his people under his frank for
popular expression.
''Of course, there are those who
laugh at such methods and effect
to deride them; but the great mass
of voters are glad to take a hand
in forming their own laws and ex
press surprise that it has not been
done long ago. If all of the con-
gressmen had placed the ballot In
the hands of the voters we would
never enter the world war. Let
US not forget that Abraham Lin
colin once said our Government is
of the people, by the people, and
for the people,
1.-THE President in bis message
states that the German people were
not consulted about getting into
) ,this world war. / ask, were the
American people consulted about
getting into this same world war!
''They we're not, except in the
Fifth congressional district of
Minnesota, where for the first
time in our national history all of
the voters we're given the ballot on
war: and there the American peo-
pie, living in that district, regis
tered themselves overwhelmingly
against plunging America into
war.
''When you have declared war
YOU will have to finance the strug-
ole with billions of dollars and per-
laps tens and scores of billions.
Already we have loaned the allies,
through our banking system, up to
December 81, 1915, the enormous
sum of S2,326. 100000 in formal
loans. Other huge sums have been
loaned and millions have been
r. added since that date. Where
vour treasures are, there will be
YOUR heart also

we are about to enter this war.

Every effort is being made to slim

The matter was discussed at some

Of course necossitatc a considerable
outlay Of money, and as a result.

IMP to both will need repair work
The city will do its part and it is
confidently expected that the Roller.
Mills Will promptly meet any require
monts which may be made to put the
equipment IN the finest shape possible

Aht itIlGtu bi Tune lDl the new
contract TO run was taken up but AS
II was felt that the amount OF repair
work needed, would have much to do
with the length Of time, which the
Roller Mills would want contract
to run, nothing definite WAS done in
this regard.

Smith was appointed to confer with

and see just what was needed i'm the
way of repairs and what length OF

run.
The committee is to report TO the

port will be made at the adjourned

evening Of this week.
