THE SOLDIERS HOUR

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to
lower,
Comes a pause for the busy woman
That is known as the soldiers hour.
1t is then that mothers and sweet
hearts
Think tenderest thoughts of their
boys
Who are fighting for them and their
country,
Away from the dear home Joys.
In the quiet dusk of the evening
They breathe heartfelt prayer,
And invoke the blessings of Heaven
For their loved ones lover there.
And the brave lads in the trenches,
Or wherever their posts may be,
Are cheered by the spirit waited
From their home across the sea.
For faster than letter or cable,
Our thoughts and our prayers can
go,
And how much they mean to a soldier
Only a soldier can know.
Oh, wives and mothers and sweet
hearts,
Thank God for Loves winged pow
er,
And by all that is dear and holy
Keep sacred the Soldiers hour.
Grace D. Vanamee of The Vigilant.

against g three cornered game With
| q Scandinavian, George Magnuson Of
st. Cloud, on the other side and q
German, Herman Mueller Of the Same
city on the other, he was literally
ground to pieces. This was noticeable
IN every county where these two
nationalities predominated. The
same Mueller too caught on with the
German Democrats and they voted
for him to q man. It will be another:
week before the official count is
known and it may put: Mr.. Caswen
over. AS to the others thir lead will
undoubt btedley be swelDed.
Fred Wheaton of Minneapolis and
Judge Comstock Of Mankato are stiu
battling forsthe Democratic guber-
material nomination and it will re-
quire the official vote to determine
who is who. At last accounts Whea-
ton was about 500 ahead and gaining
slowly. The indication now is that a
recount may. be demanded. Both
candidates received less than 10000
votes each because of the invasion
of the Republican primaries by the
unwashed. In hundreds of preciencts
not Democratic vote was registered.
Judge Comstock did we'll in st. Paul,
but lost in St. Louis county, There
the organization was on the Job.
The same was the case in Hennepin
county. ., -. -
Interest just now is centered in
the formation of a new Republican
State Central Committee, the as
sembkng of which will begin this
week. Under the law the successful
candidates of the several parties
must assemble at the state capitol
ten days after the primary election
and select state central committee.
Each candidate selects one commit
teeman who in turn names a state
chairman and secretary. AS it is
customary for the successful candi-
date for governor to name the chair
man, Gov. Burnquist will attend to
that matter this time, and the one
thing of interest 10 those who want
to control the committee is who the
Governor will select. What is known
as the Old Guard favor either Fred
Carpenter of Minneapolis or some
other Hennepin county man, but it
is said that Gust Lindquist, his pri-
vate secretary, looks the best to his
excellency. His appointment it is
claimed would releave the Governor
of the embarrassment of. recognizing
any particular faction. Mr.: Lind
quist is we'll up in the game, is close
to his excellency and would fill the
bill in every way.
That the Republican king makers
will have to recon with State Auditor
Preus and Secretary Of State Schmahl
in their next selection of gubernator-
ial and senatorial timber is certain.
These two were the top notchers in
the recent primary and it will come
near taking the official count to
show who is the best man. Though
Schmahl had the biggest Republican
majority by far, Preus led in the
total number of Republican votes
cast for any one candidate: Latest
returns gave Mr.. Preus the lead by
about 700. Preus suffered by reason
of opposition in the shape Of form
idable league candidate while
Schmahl was not hampered in this
way.

Will Townley and his crowd come
back? They are asking this
question at the state capitol and the
fervest wish is that the answer will
be in the negative. The one hope lis
that Minnesota has seen the last Of
him and his bunch. How Minnesota
answered the call of loyalty is best
told in $4,000 majority for Gov.
Burnquist with ma jorities ranging all
the way from 10000 to 100000 for
the other candidates listed as clean,
still the victory, big as it appears,
was not without it's dissapointments.
|. A. Caswell, candidate for clerk Of
the supreme court and among the
first to climb aboard the Burnquist
wagon, fell by the wayside. Herman
Mueller, Townley selection, it seems
has distanceds him, at least unofficial
figures so show at this writing
Never in the history of Minnesota
has a primary election been featured
as the one just passed. The tension
was frightful and and it even now
finds the whole capitol in a state of
partial collapse. Townley and his
crowd put up some fight and though
the crumbs of comfort were few.
they sure made the regulars go some.
Frankly all that saved the head of
the ticket was the invasion of the
republican primaries by the Demo
Gratis. This same invasion put a
cr'mp in the candidacy of Attorney
General Hilton, and it might be said
to be responsible for the elimination
OF Casweh. Naturally the questiot
now is, what will the harvest be in
the fall, what will the lineup be
then and where will the Nonpartisan
League vote go? The Townley forces,
though they put up a hard fight and
polled big vote, received crushing
defeat, but the crowd is not dead by
any means. Again the boys ask
will the bunch come back? Thew
hope not
How loyal Minnesota lined up June
18th is seen in the election returns
OF that date when over 325,0O0 re-
publican votes were registered of
which nearly 100000 went to Gov.
-Burnquist: AT that. Lindbergh listed
as unfair, has nearly 100000 votes to
his credit. Ordinarily the republican
vote in Minnesota is not in excess of
250,0O0. The democratic vote was
less than $4,000 which shows plainly
where votes of that faith went. Gov.
Burnquist got the big end of the un-
washed. The Republican honors this
year went to Secretary of State
Schmahl with State Auditor Preus
a close second. In order came State
Treasurer Rines, Railroad Commis-
sioner Putnam, Lieut.. Governor
Frankson and Attorney General Hill
ton. Lieut.. Gov. Frankson figured in
a three-cornered fight with Lacquer
holding the big end and Attorney
General Hilton suffered by reason of
the Democratic invasion of the Re-
publican primaries. Sullivan was the
name of his opponent and he bene-
fitted as a result. l. A. Caswell, Clerk
Of the supreme court, who, unofficial
returns say, was beaten by the Lea
que candidate, was the other to go

HOWEVER, BETWEEN
MARCH AND JUNE
NEW MOBILIZATION PLAN
To Avoid Confusion, the Second
Army Probably viii Be
Mover at the Rate of
100000 a Month

Washington, Feb. 81 Secretary
Eaker has authorized the statement
that no date has been selected for the
beginning Of the second draft. Var
ious estimates have placed the time
between March and June /.
The governments disposition not
10 disturb the labor situation, partic-
ularly on farms at the planting seas
on, is one Of the factors entering into
the situation.
The provost marshal generals Of
flee, it is understood, is disinclined to
go ehead with the second draft until
congress has perfected the law by
pending amendments to change the
basis Of apportionment and to author
ize the president to call into the mil
itary service men skilled in industry
and agriculture regardless of prev
iOus classification.
Remaining increments of the first
draft will begin OF move forward to
camps this week.
1t is probable the next month local
boards will be asked to forward small
increments necessary to replace men
going overseas, but the expected sum-
mons of half million will be later.
Plans for the second draft us now
under consideration include calling
100000 month until the second quo
ia is complete. In that way officials
expect to avoid much of the confusion
which accompanied the first call. The
men will report in a steady stream
and be assimilated into the military
machine before the next lot is re-
ceiVed.

sages from "the folks at home," per-
haps, than any man ever carried to
friends abroad before. For Mr.. Allen
is going to France for that purpose.

to connect the American homes with

front.
One of the messages he is carrying
is from an Independence, Kas., father
and mother to two boys over there.

paper, in consultation with H. H.

sas men who is helping conduct the

the absence of Mr.. Allen in France. 1t
was 8 o'clock at night and Allen was
to leave Wichita at II o'clock for
Kansas City. From Kansas City he
was to take the train for New York
preparatory to his sailing. He was
going over q file of personal letters
concerning his candidacy, which he
was leaving with Mr.. Motter for at
tention. He was rushing through the
work, after very busy day of clear
ing up his business affairs. He want
ed to get away from the office and
go out to his home for farewell visit
with Mrs. Allen before leaving.
Presently there came a call which
Mr.. Allen answered.
"I am awfully sorry l can't see
you," Mr.. Allen explained for the
fiftieth time that evening. 81 am just
closing up some very important mat
ters preparatory to leaving town for

"What's that, from Independence I?
What do you want to talk about, bus
mess or politics? Can't you talk to
someone else, please? Oh, about your
two boys in France? Well, come on
up"
Mr.. Allen hung up the receiver.
