LINDBERGH'S OPENING.

11CFC Ill party Lug OAoAAoy, ohO
Gov. Burnquist depending solely
on the support of professional pol
iticians, beneficiaries of his po-
litical favor and the Big Inter-
ests of the state, any sane and
unprejudced observer must firm
ly believe that Charles A. Lind
bergh will capture the republican
nomination for governor. The
farmers are heavily behind him
as we'll as organized labor and
many of the small business men
of the state. This outcome prob
ably will mean. the support of
Mr.. Wheaton by all regular dem
ocrats, the Burnquist republicans
and still others who dislike the
big man from Little Falls.
Lindbergh a Fighter.
Charles A. Lindbergh, free and
untrammelled republican, is a
fighter. In this primary campaign,
he not only proposes to fight but
he is fighting. He even is invok-
ing the aid of the law against
libelous writers. He is standing
firm for loyalty, democracy and
against Prussianism. He is being
received with open arms by the
plain. common people.
He'll is popping in the North
Star state and there's no pitch
hot.
Lindbergh opened his campaign
at Willmar, Mimi, April "a.
There was a great outpouring of
the yeomanry. Press reports state
that loyalty was the keynote of
his opening speech. He urged that
everything else be given secondary
consideration until Germany is
beaten.
Strong Against Germany.
eat this time war occupies the
highest place in our thoughts. We
can tolerate nothing that will
sidetrack or delay anything neces-
sary to the most efficient war;
ware against our military enc
my" he said.
"We must wage war as effec-
lively as possible. It requires our
every support; war tax, thrift
stamps, liberty bonds, Red Cross
aid and all the other aids. But
in order to keep increasing these
as the war continues we must
study ways and means to get the
funds and materials.
"There are a few who want to
run the whole thing, except when
it comes to the financial and ma
terial support. Then they say to
us, Dig up. We are glad to dig
up, but we know of no reason
why we can't carry on the cam
paign as well as they. We are
willing to do our share of the d.
recting, as well as our share in
supporting.
Up to the People.
"War involves many important
matters and it is up to the people
themselves to do this work. If
they do not do this themselves
there will be others who will, and
IN that case it will not be done
in a way to serve all the people.
1--WE trust the war department
to manage the military operations
in the field Of conflict. The boys
over there are willing to trust
us here, and it is our God-given
duty to act at home in looking
after the civil and economic af-
fairs involving the financial and
material support which they must
have. The more intelligently we
do that the better our support will
be, and the sooner victory will be
ours.
Answers MCGEE.
"Only a week ago j. F. Nc
Gee, member of TIE Minnesota
safety commission, sought to have
martial law established in Mime
sofa. He would do away with
your courts and your juries and
have soldiers of the army take
their places, and under their iur-
isdiction establish the firing
squads Now we are perfectly
willing to trust our soldiers with
our lives and our fortunes; they
are from among us, and a part
OF u.s.. They are ours and we are
theirs. We belong to each other
body and soul, but have we, who
are left behind to take care of
the civil affairs, fallen so low,
Or are we so incompetent that
we must set aside the very in
situations for which we have sent
