excellent organization.

* per cent. Four per cent is the linn
it at the present time. The order is
based on grain conservation.
~ A poll of congressman is said to in
1icate the passage of nationwide pro-
1ibition but insufficient votes for the
passage of the suffrage amendment.
Congressman Knutson is non committal
On both questions, as is also Congress
man Van Dyke of St. Paul. Davis

to favor both measures.
( The public dance is passing. Sure.
Safety commission says that "public"
dances must stop at II o'clock. To
comply with the order and still be
"within the law it is stated that in
some places a man is stationed at
- -
invitations, and an invitation is ex-
tended before one enters the hall. OF
course he has to pay the price. =.
According to the St.. Paul Dispatch
c. A. Lindbergh has given assurance
that he will not be candidate for
governor against Governor Burnquist.
Other reports have been given out that
the former congressman would not
likely be candidate for any office at
the coming election, although there
have been rumors that Mr.. Lindbergh
would have the backing of the Farm
ers' Non-Partisan league should he be
4 candidate.
Late war orders prohibit the publ
cation of letters from the enlisted men.
The publication Of letters from the
boys was department all papers had
tiers were greatly appreciated by the
readers. An order has also been given
that men Of the National army will
not be allowed Christmas furloughs,
Secretary Baker stating that gen
eral leave would have a harmful ef-
feet to discipline and also produce a
heavy burden on the railroads.
Fred B. Snyder Of Minneapolis, pres
ident of the university regents, has an
nounced his candidacy for the repub-
hcan nomination for senator. Senator
Nelson s term expires in March 1919.
It has been presumed that Senator
Nelson has decided to retire. A num-
Der Of democrats of the state had sug-
gested no opposition to Senator Mel
son should he be candidate next
year, and in this connection, letter
written to a democrat in this state
by President Wilson is interesting.
The letter in part says:
IT know Senator Nelson well, and
know that he would like to retire
and spend his declining years in
Peace,' the president is quoted as say
4ASs
"But if Senator Nelson was sure
that he had but one more year TO
live, he owes that year to the coun-
try. With his ability and mis- knowl-
edge of international affairs, his serv-
ices are invaluable to the nation at
this time.'
Mr.. Snyder's entrance into the sena-
torial field would seem to be pretty
fair evidence Of Senator Nelson's re-
tirement, which action will be sure
to bring more aspirants into the field.
