MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS,

St. Paul, Minn, Feb. Members of the Democratic State Committee rounded up here today to discuss pre- liminary business with regards to the coming State and congressional cam- paign in Minnesota. The proposals for a complete fusion with the Re publicans on candidates whose loyalty record is above reproach in one of the live matters that is expected to re- ceive the attention of the committee. While the proposal has been favorably received by some of the Democratic leaders it is not expected to receive the approval of the rank and file of the party. It is therefore considered likely that a State "conference' will be held sometime next month to agree upon State ticket to be recommended to the Democratic voters in the com ing election.

Washington, Jan. 12.-To make ev- cry school in the United States a Red Cross auxiliary is the aim of a campaign for booming the junior Red Cross membership, to be inaugurated today and continued over Washington's s Birthday, The movement originated with pr! H. N. MacCracken, president of Vassar College, and has received the indorsement of the National Red Cross and of President Wilson.
 The first aim of the campaign will be to inform every school in regard to the nature of Red Cross work. and then allow those who desire to enroll. When certain conditions have been complied with the children of a school will be entitled to wear the Red Cross button and the school will be- come an auxiliary of the organization The work will be done under approval of the school authorities, campaign posters will be displayed in the schools and speakers will be furnished wher- ever there is demand for them.

THE PACKERS DILEMMA.

Collision by the Chicago packers is being claimed by Francis J. Heney, the government prosecutor. The packers are said to nave combined in the. bidding, on suplies for the gov ernment-a heinous offense if true.
 This Hsney person comes from California, where he put the San Francisco grafters behind the bars; and the packers, for the first time in their history, seem to be up against the real thing in governnn mt al prosecutions.
 Heney's ability to extract secret papers from the safe of the packers attorney, after warrant had been SC. ciency.
 The packers have few friends. Pro ducers of beef "on the hoof' for years have been charginb tactics that ruined profits-for the producers; meat dealers say the profits of pack CTS have increased during the war while their Own has decreased-th the government has fixed their own maximum prices while tA@ machina- tions of the packing trust" is not fixed; consumers have been unfriend- ly because they have had strong suspicion that the control of the na- tion's meat supply should not be in the heads of half "a dozen mon- opolists.
 Like other evils we could mention, the packers in the past have been "dissolWed;" evidently it didn't hurt anybody.
 Heney is trying to put tae criminal clutches onto the gang-and that's why his sortie for for the federal trade commission of different and more interesting.

SUPPORTING THE MEN
 "OYER THERE"

Many people in this country do not seem to realize that the successful outcome of the war depends as much upon them as upon the men lover there," that the soldiers in the trenches are helpless unless they re, ceive full support of the people here, and that to provide this support ii ts absolutely essential that bicker- ings and quarrels be not permitted to interrupt production. These folk seem to lack .tae imagination neces- sary to connect themselves with the work in the trenches. France seems so far away. We seem so detached from the field of battle. But are we? We are not.
 battlefields of Europe, insofar as as practical results are concerned, than are the men in the power plant of the Pine Bluff company from the memb- CTS of the fire department fighting a fire somewhere in Pine Bluff, and the firemen are no less dependent upon the powerhouse crew in their fight on fire than are our soldiers upon the workers here at home.
 To make this clear, just suppose that big fire were raging some where it Pine Bluff, tnretening your pFhce or your home. The firemen are there; hose is stretched. several linss of it. All that the firemen need to eXtinguish the fire is water They are ready to do their part ito risk life and limb to save your property But the water that they need is not forthcoming because the men at the pOWerhouse have quarreled with their employer, their bosslor among them selves; have forgotten their duty, and closed down the pumps. While they are wraguling among themselves, the firemen are standing helpless, and | your home is destroyed
 Of course, this wouldn't happen in | Pine Bluff. It is recited simply to | demonstrate how dependent the sol l diers lover there are upon us here. If we stop producing, the soldiers are
