POLITICIANS BUSY
"HONING" RAZORS
DAVIS A HARD MAN TO Get"
BUT LOYAL ONES ARE OUT
AFTER HIS SCALP
PREUS DECIDES NOT TO MIX
IN LUNDEEN SCRAP IN
THE FIFTH

= Politicians of the Republican party
who are very much interested in the
defeat Of C. R. Davis, Representative
from the Third Congressional District,
met in St. Paul to discuss ways and
means of how to eliminate Davis. About
ten of the party's high priests were
present and it soon became apparent
that at least four of these were willing
to cast all other business and the cares
of this world aside and to try for Con-
gressional honors in the Third District.
Ringing Patriotism.
To say the least, this was very patriot
ic. But they did not stop at that.
They went after the Congressman who is
in Washington, in a manner that must
have made his ears ring even at that
distance. 1t was pointed out by these
men with the long distance courage how
much coed they would accomplish by
defeating C.. R. Davis.
Finding a Catspaw.
All of this was the silver lining in the
SIDE to it which locked dark and grey
and xominous. This was the fact that
they had to acknowledge it is no easy
meter to defeat Davis at the primary
election. His organization is considered
toe strong to caue with it. But they
saw "a way out of the quandary IN which
thtv found themselves. With the aid
Of Democrat dH1ey would beat Davis
to a FRAGILE.

Preus Not to Try for Congress
State Auditor ]. A. O. Preus has at
last come out with a clean cut statement
that he will not run for Congress IN the
Fifth District. This is the Minneapolis
hailEn,ick Where Ernie" Lundeen has
been a thorn in the flesh of the king -
and GATHER office makers. They wanted
Preus to defeat Lundeen. Possibly ne
could have done it, but the fact iss he
does not feel like it. He has declined
the tempting offer with thanks and told
the gentlemen, he was very much IN
favor of seeing man in Congress from
the Fifth who would stand by the ad-
ministrati1n in the support of its war
aims, but he saw no reason why he should
be the goat. OF course, he did not put
it that way; that would not he in &C
cordanoe with the political rules as out
lined in Hoyle. He said, his 'candi-
dacy would merely complicate matters
in the Fifth District situation. Ii
there were too many candidates the
present thorn in the flesh would have
too much of chance to be reelected.

.PFABNDER MATTER
AGAIN POSTPONED
ARGUMENTS OFFERED AGAINST
DIsBARMENT BY STATE
ASSOCIATION
HAS PROVEN LOYALTY BY HIS
:.s# SUBSEQUENT ASSISTANCE
TO GOVERNMENT

Paul last Friday where he attended a
meeting of the board of governors Of the
Minnesota State Bar Association. The
ethics committee of the Bar Association
which has had the matter of Major
Pfaender and his relation to the Asso-
citation in charge advised that he be
ousted from the Association and disbar-
ment proceedings be instituted against
him.
Argues Own Case.
Major Pfaender then asked the board
for permission to be heard in his own
behalf because, he stated, it had been
utterly impossible for him to be present
at the meeting OF the ethics committee
on account of work in district court
This privilege was granted to him. He
went into detail on his past and present
attitude towards the United States and
the war, declaring his absolute loyalty
to the country.
Statement by Mr.. Pfaender:
s He also issued the following state
ment:
In regard to the charges preferred
against myself by the State Bar Asso-
citation growing out of statements made
by me at series of meetings at and in
the vicinity of New Ulm during July,
1917, whereby it is claimed that my
attitude in national questions was dis
loyal, and contrary to the interests of the
nation, have heretofore publicly stated
that the holding of such meetings was
"a mistake, and again take this occasion
to state that may position, under all the
'eonditions them prevailing, was mistaken
:and wrong. D..
80 have heretofore regretted, and
still deeply regret, the unfortunate
consequences of those meetings. So
81 have always been and am NOW q
loyal citizen eff this country, and certain,
ly did not intend any disloyalty by
participating i'm such meetings.
Thinks lit just War.
II believe that the war IN Which this
country is engaged is just and righteous
II shall, to the best Of my ability, lend
my support tO1the prosecution of the war;
and in all matters tending or considered
necessary by the administration, aid to
bring the same to successful teamina-
ton and, in SO far as it HES in my pDwer,
advocate by word and act the complete
support of the government and to do
the things which it is IHhe duty of an
American citizen to do.
Il believe that this war should he
fought until the military establishment
of the central powers, is defeated be-
cause I believe lit is a menace to the
existence of the principles of this and
other free countries.
'|In my opinion, in view of recent
developments and disclosures of the
purposes of the central powers, it now
appears that they We're neater entitled
to the sympathy off the pesple of this
country
Final Action Postponed.
Following this statement and full
discussion Of the same, during the course
OF which Major Pfaender had offered
to cooperate in every possible way in all
activities tending to support the Govern
ment of the United States, as he has
done in his activities during the
Second and Third Liberty Loans, final
action was Left open until the next meet
ing in August. y
