Why It Would be Unanimous.
IF the Chief editor should run for
county superintendent he would get
every vote in Hokah. His friends
and enemies would both give him a
ft-the former to get him into office
andothe latter to get him out of town.

Mr.. Lindbergh is not even one Of the
leaders Of the Nonpartisan league, he
is "only it's candidate for governor"
says A. c. Townley. Will Lindbergh
swallow that affront? Sure, and obey
orders, too, with becoming meekness.

Good Advice.
Some Of the fellows who are so
busily engaged in running for office.
might better be employed in running
for France, and some of them would
stand a. much better chance of get
ting an office at some future time if
they would do that, too.-Redwood Ga

The Issue is Americanism.
Every loyalist in the state, regard
less of party, should vote for J. A. A.
Burnquist for governor. The issue is
clearly drawn, and that issue is Amer
icanism. Governor Burnquist has
stood by America, and Americans
should now stand by him. Winnebago|

Surrenders His Independence.
When candidate for public office
accepts the endorsement of the Town
ley Nonpartisan league, he throws his
obligations to his constituency to the
four winds and binds himself to sub
nit to the dictates Of that organiza-
ton. Does that sound very much like
sound American doctrine? More like
Prussianism!- Wahkon Enterprise.

OF Course He Did.
In the filings for the legislature ap-
pear the names Of several senators
who have no opposition for re-elec-
ton. Included in the list of those who
are certified for another term in the
upper house appears the name of Sen
ator Theodore Blomgren Of Isanti
county. Senator B1omgren's record
during his first four years Of legisla-
tive experience is such as to entitle
his return. He consistently voted
right on all important questions.-St

Townley's Poisonous Speeches.
No argument is needed to convince
any thinking person that the members
Of the Nonpartisan league, who con-
stitute considerable proportion of
the farming population in this state,
are, as class, disloyal to the govern
ment of the United States. There are
loyal men among them just as in other
groups of the population. Mr.. Town
ley himself has on numerous occasions,
and in public, been guilty Of making
statements which are distinctly and
specifically disloyal, and in a more
dangerous, because more specious and
plausible manner, he has injected the
poison of disloyalty into everyone Of
his speeches.-Gr Forks IN. d.

Vote for the Man, Not the Party.
It is to be regretted that some of
the Minnesota newspapers persist in
taking party attitude. They are
against Burnquist and continue to lam
bast him despite the fact that in Min
nesota 'Burnquist is to the war and the
government what President Wilson is
to the nation Such officials, standing
squarely for America, should not be un-
duly criticised. This weakens them
with those who are natural DIRECTORS.
The practice tends to lengthen the war.
These papers could we'll take lesson
from the Duluth Herald, which has
served notice that it will support Mr..
Burnquist for reelection no matter
who are the other candidates. The
elimination of party rancor at this
time is a mighty good thing. It helps
