People of the western part Of the
state do not realize the wonderful
resources in the way Of Ignite de-

his visit here. You people have
enough Ignite here to keep such a
plant running until our children's

Striking Differences.

In considering the chance the Non.
partisans have in Minnesota this
year as compared with the condi-
tions they confronted in North Da-
kota two years ago, there is found
| these striking differences:
More than half the Minnesota vote
lies in the cities, towns and villages
Less than 35 per cent of the North
Dakota vote is in the cities, towns
and villages.
The Minnesota opposition is united
on a single candidate for governor
The North Dakota opposition was
divided with two candidates in the
field against the league nominee.
The league had no record to ex-
plain in North Dakota. It now must
face its North Dakota record, in
Guiding the driving out of the state
of the federal farm loan bank, and its
radical constitutional amendments.
The issue Of loyalty was not to the
front in North Dakota. The league
leaders are on the defense on the
loyalty issue in Minnesota.
Minnesota small town people are
united against Mr.. Townley's rule
as a result of the chain store, news
paper, bank, coal company, real es-
enterprises launched I'm the name of
the league in North Dakota.
In North Dakota the league had an
unknown candidate for governor a
man unsecured politically. In Min
nesota they have picked a one-time
loser-a man who says America was
Unanswered into the war by the
interests"
In North Dakota the league was
thoroughly organized over most of
the state. In many sections Of Min
nesota they have been unable to
make any progress, and there are
many farmers out fighting the league
in Minnesota.
The war spirit has intervened to
call halt on radical political move
ments at this time. while no such
feeling was abroad i'm the land in
North Dakota two years ago.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 23.-Julius
J. Schmahl secretary of state of
Minnesota, for some time a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
governor this year, is now strongly
in favor OF the nomination Of J. A. A.
Burnquist, and is confident that Min
nesota will swing into the loyalty
column with bells ringing in the
primary election.
When The Forum representative
called on Mr.. Schmahl at his office in
the capitol building, he found himself
talking to an old time Forum en-
ploye. lit was back in 1888 to 1885
that Mr.. Schmahl used to stick type"
on The Argus, for Major Edwards, so
there was a right cordial welcome
awaiting a present day member of
The Forum staff.
Before he would consent to talk
politics, Mr.. Schmahl insisted on
talking old times a few minutes. Il
learned to know a good many old
time Dakotans', said Mr.. Schmahl.
including Jud L.aMoure. who has
just passed away; John Haggart, and
a good many others.
Some times find myself wonder
ing what ever became of Dick, who
used to meet the trains with his con-
slant cry: Headquarters hooteI-
right here on the platform The
Forum man vouchsafed no informa-
ton on that point
Then Mr.. Schmahl permitted
political topics to be opened.
Entsrtains No Fear.
'T entertain no fear as to the OUT
come of the elections in Minnesota
this year. We are all behind the gov
ernor. That's my sentiment, and
that, know. Is the feeling Of all truly
loyal Mlnnesotans.
Governor Burnquist. after the
close OF the last legislature, did sew
eral things that aroused opposition
to him in various sections. These
include his veto OF the S1,75O,O0
deficiency educational bill, that hit
the school districts. and the veto of
the drainage and wolf bounty bills.

Letter Restored Strength.
THE governors letter to Arthur
Lesueur. declined the invitation to
address the league convention, GER
tainly put Mr.. Burnquist right back
on his feet with the people Of this
state. 1t was a letter in which every
sentence counted, and has gathered TO
him the support of all true Ameri-
cans.
while the Nonpartisan election
ballot for legislative and county
candidates has in measure destroy
ed party machinery in this state, l

interest of all factions opposing the
Townley movement this year. 1t will
permit consolidated effort for the

"As for the Democratic vote, the
governor may get hit by virtue Of
their membership in the league, but
he will get as many smore from
Democrats who will go into the
Republican primary just to back his
stand on Americanism.
Getting Fighting Right.
Il figure today that so per cent Of
the people of Minnesota are
absolutely 0. k. on this war issue.
The rest are rapidly becoming so, as
they understand the issues and the
casualty lists are coming. And they
are getting fighting right, too.
Lindberah Uncertain.

governor, Mr.. Lindbergh, he has al
ways been an uncertain proposition.
I think Jim Manahan would be a
potent factor in influencing his
administration. next to Townley, this
fellow you have sent over to US to run
our politics.
Il have watched the North Dakota
situation for some time, and believe
that some Of the conditions COM
planned of there are in no sense
similar to those prevailing in this
state. Our farmers have passed the
pioneer stage, and they are more
thoroughly in touch with conditions
in the terminal grain markets. Our
farmers feel that the Minnesota
warehouse law has given them pro-
lection. Minnesota. too, has made.
greater advance in the line of legisla-
ton on corporate trespassing on the
rights of the people. and the people
are not so belligerent. You have had
conditions coming on for years in

has happened. You will come all right
