One of-Daniel w. Lawler's friends
filed him as candidate for mayor of
ST. Paul last week. But Mr.. Lawler
declared he would not have the office
if he were unanimously chosen. Fur
thermore he added:
'What spare time can devote from
my business during the next few
months I intend to use in making
loyalty addresses throughout the state.
Sam Lawler, my son, and a partner in
my law office, is in the army. don't
expect him back from Berlin until next
January. j. H. Mullaly, my other
partner, is interested in war relief
work. This leaves an immense amount
of work to be done.
'I certainly shall not be a candidate
for mayor. In state politics intend
to support Knute Nelson for United
States senator, and every other re-
publican who has been loyal to the
government. This is no time for par
ty politics"
That sort Of talk rings. true, and is
typical Of brainy, broad minded, big
Dan Lawler, who always comes out il
the open and expresses his opinions
freely.

Times have changed in the city Of
beer-Milwaukee has elected a repub-
lican state senator, Louis A. Fons, in
the eighth district, socialist strong
hold. The democrats and republicans
fused and supported the republican
candidate for the reason that he is
supporting the war policy of President
Wilson. T. E. Melms, the La Toilette
candidate, was, as our friend Roose-
velt would say, ''beaten to frazzle. -
After the returns were in Fons tele-
graphed La Toilette as follows: II
have repudiated you and condemned
your un-American attitude and the
people Of the eighth district indorsed
my action. I congratulate the Ameri-
can citizens of the district" Fons
succeeds Frank Raguse, who was last
spring expelled from the senate for
disloyal utterances. The campaign
was not fought out on party lines but
on the question Of loyalty and dis
loyalty, with the Berger-La Toilette
element on the side Of the disloyalists.

A Patriotic Old Line Democrat.

Our old democratic friend, L. F..
Johnson, formerly of Spencer Brook,
but now of Bemidji, in renewing his
subscription for 1918, writes: tLong
may you live to publish the Union. I
like the stand you take in urging
Uncle Knute to file again. Keep it up
as we need him until the end Of our
trouble with the kaiser. I have not
always agreed politically with Uncle
Knute, but I have ever admired his
fighting ability. We need more men
like him and fewer La Follettes and
Lundeens at Washington. Politics
should be laid aside until after we win
the war, which we can do if every one
does his part. Whether born in this
or any other country we must all be
Americans. The Stars and Stripes
ought to look good to all that have
adopted this great United States as
their home. If there are those who
cannot support our cause, right or
wrong, let them get out from under
the folds Of the grandest flag on earth
and stay out. Keep up your fight for
the Grand Old Man Uncle Knute. :

Woman Suffrage is another disturb
ing issue that congress should leave
severely alone just now. The New
York Times, commenting on t'The In
vasion Of Washington" by the suffra-
gettes pointedly remarks: "It is a
pity, it is shame, that all representa-
tives and senators are not brave and
patriotic enough to throw aside this
irebrand of division. A country fight
ing.for it's life has somewhat more mo-
mentous concerns to attend to than the
forcing of the ballot upon Jane Jones
of South Carolina or Massachusetts,,
because certain excellent but rather
trying chieftainesses of the cause see
everything in woman suffrage"

: Why reputable paper like the Min
neapolis Journal should publish the
article headed "Army immortality
that appeared on the fourth page of
the Tuesday edition of that paper is
beyond our ken. Even if there were
substantial grounds for the allegations
contained in the article, we fail to see
what good purpose could be served by
publishing it. But the charges of in
temperance and immortality are made
on hearsay evidence, and even the
assinine research secretary of the
Methodist board of morals regulators
admits that conditions are not as bad
as represented. Our boys in France
may not be all saints but they will
compare favorably with their hypo-
critical detractors.

A ST. Paul friend writes: It pleases
me greatly to note that among the
staunchest supporters Of the gallant
Little Norwegian" are Jim Ruane of
the Slayton Gazette, Mike Grimes of
the lie Sueur News, and Bob Dunn of
the Princeton Union three good Irish
men and three good editors. You are
right; the loyal people Of Minnesota
demand that Knute Nelson shall be
a candidate for reelection, and it is
a demand that he cannot and will not

Forty American authors have peti-
toned Vice President Marshall, pro-
testing against the continued reten-
tion in the United States senate of the
ignominious La Toilette. The indi-
vidual letters sent in denounce La
Toilette in no uncertain terms and
should assist in the expulsion of this
kaiserite from the senate. To loyal
American citizens it seems peculiar
that the senate has not long ere this
ousted this friend of the Hohenzol-
lerns. The ever-increasing popular
sentiment against his disloyal tactics
should be sufficient to dump him into
the discard and, if the senate fails to
do so, the people will ultimately take
a hand. .--.-.'

County Attorney Myron's Report.
From the Milaca Times we learn
that County Attorney Myron has sub
mitted his annual report to the attor-
ney general from which we CLEAN the
following figures: There were 81

non-support, 1 allowing minors to
smoke in place of business, 5 auto
speeding and one settlement. The to-
tai amount Of costs taxed in justice
court was $193.63 and the total amount
of fines was $438.OO and the total fines
and costs collected was $604.72. This

The following letter is self explana-
tory:
Camp Pike, Ark.-I have been re-
ceiving the Union regularly and I wish
to thank you for same. Noticed the
editorial in recent issue referring to
the notice I wrote you some time ago
anent the saying at the head Of the
Unions editorial columns. Am not
sure what you thought Of it at the
time I sent it to you, and had come to
the conclusion it had reached the fur
mace long ago. After reading the
comeback wonder that it hadn't.
Don't misunderstood me when YOU
think I am not for my country every
minute of the game, but like many
others Of the unsophisticated, heard
several socialists at some country
place remark that sentiment to me
and wanted to know what I thought
about it. They were not satisfied with
the answer I gave them and wanted
me to ask the Union. I did ask, and
the answer leaves no doubt.
It might be of interest to some
Princeton people to know that I have
been promoted to sergeant.

usual opportunity is at this time pre-

manufacturers. Cubans are very fond
Of jewelry, says Mr.. Rosenthal, and
they can get but little from Europe.
Here is chance for the American Jew

is safe to predict that he will ere long

Since December Is pay allowances

Since December Is pay allowances
to nterned German officers in the
United States have ceased allow
ances which should never have been
made. It appears that since their in
ternmen MT these enemies have been
paid sums per month equal to those
received by United States officers of
equal rank-or several times greater
than they would receive from their
own government. Much adverse crit
icism by writer's has been the result,
and this criticism is doubtless justi-
fled. Why should these arrogant enc
my officers be paid any salary whatso-
ever? Is it not enough that we feed
and clothe the human scorpions with
out granting them big allowances in
money? There is something wrong
somewhere over here.

Company G Boys Thankful.

the original Company G., from Capt.
Johnson down, wish to return their
thanks and express their appreciation
to Mrs. Zimmerman and the other la

ira Christmas treat. The boys had
everything they desired in the way of
eatables at their Christmas dinner, and
they used the donation for a get-to-

few days later, and they had a most
enjoyable time. Hereafter, as long as
the boys are at Camp Cody, it is the
intention to hold one of these reunions

eating the high price Of shoes it
would not be amiss for the commission
to ascertain why paper largely used

smell like leather, look like leather,

Why We Are In the War.

We are in the war not of own choice
or seeking. We are in the war because
we were forced in. We are in the war
because an autocratic power sought to
drive our commerce from the ocean,
murdered our people upon the high
seas, violated it's pledges to US, and
treated our demands with contempt.
This autocratic power sought to domi-
nate Europe, and did not hesitate to
threaten the Americas and especially
the United States. We are in this war
to maintain the honor and dignity of
the nation, and to defeat the designs
of an ambitious and unscrupulous war
lord upon our own shores. The strug-
gle may be long. Even 1913 may not
see it's end, but conquer we must for
our cause it is just!"-St. Cloud Times.

Fearing that bis money would not
be safe in bank, Henry Perman, of
Streeter, N. D., placed $4,000 in lard

Henry was asleep and exchanged his
gold for black diamonds exchange
which he failed to appreciate-and
decamped with the lucre to parts un-

It is plain, from an American view
point, that many of the so-called war
correspondents for American newspa-
pers should, fguratively speaking,
have their heads chopped off. It is a
surprise that some of the pro-enemy
stories penned by these camoufagers
pass the eagle eyes Of the censors.
Taking another point Of observation,
however, it is possible that the dis
patches are tinkered by the editors
in this country. At any rate it is time
that portions, at least, of the war cor.
respondents copy were cut out.

This from New York's leading daily
newspaper, the. Times, is exceedingly
complimentary to Minnesota's senior
United States senator:
Mr.. Nelson, in his four times in the
senate, has won for himself peculiar
and honored place. His common sense
his homely phrases, his thorough
Americanism, his rugged simplicity
and kindness, have kindled to a per
sonal affection the respect and con
sideration which his abilities, his age
his long faithful service, and his stea-
dy public spirit have secured him.
He inspires in the senate and out of
it feeling of friendliness. His sturdy
loyalty has increased in the war both
the respect and the friendliness. To
the Times he is an old favorite.

Daniel A. Hoan, the socialist mayor
of Milwaukee, found it impossible to
stand by the platform Of his party as
adopted at st. Louis and at the same
time obey the constitution Of the Unit
ed States and the state of Wisconsin,
and with the consent Of the local com
mittee has decided to disregard the st.
Louis platform. IF Hoan had resigned,
as he threatened to do, the socialists
might have lost all the patronage con-
nected with the mayors office, and
that is the reason they permitted him
to ignore the st. Louis platform.

Practically every state exchange
that has come to the Unions table in
the past few. days expresses the hope
that Senator Nelson will be a candi-
date for reelection. Several Of the
editors seem to think that the Union
is in possession Of inside information
on the subject. In the face of the
almost unanimous sentiment in Mr..
Nelson's favor how can he refuse? He
certainly will be candidate, and no
one will accord him a more hearty
support than Fred 3. Snyder.

Well Said, Shields.

The national government should ex-
ercise a more discriminating censor
ship over the public press in matters
pertaining to the present war. The
government censors should distinguish
between general news and individual
opinions. The people should be given
the general war news but should not
be permitted to be alarmed and dis
couraged by the pessimistic opinions
and carping criticisms of the war sit
uation by such egotistical, captious
correspondents as Herbert Corey
