fling at the conference recently held
in Brainerd, saying that it was hasty
and not representative of the district,
and should Congressman Knutson be
renominated, it can be laid to that

In the recent congressional elections
in New York state democrats were re-
turned from four districts, they having
been held by that party previously.
Two Of the districts, however had been
changed and the republicans hoped for
success in these, but the democrats
won handily. A large woman vote was
east. In one Of the districts the So
sialist vote was greater than that of |
the republican. With the filing of |
these four vacancies the democrats |
now have a majority of one in the ma
tional house of representatives.

lent soldiery I saw there. Besides be-
ing fine soldies, they are fine men. I
never saw a better moral tone among
any lot of men in my life. The Ameri-
can soldiers were a happy, contented
lot of men. They were well clothed

heard was that they did not get enough
American newspapers, and that they
did not come soon enough.''

Worthington Globe: Now and then
you run across a fellow who seems to
think all the patriotism in the country
is bottled up in his particular person.
Give him wide berth; he's generally
wanting something and will work you
if you don It watch out.

Morris Tribune: Did you ever stop
to think what the soldier boys are
longing for mostly? The campaign for
magazines, smileage books, and all the
rest is we'll and good but the thing
which comes much nearer satisfying
the boys in camps and trenches, is the
little home paper with it's local news.
It costs you but little to send it to
them and it does not matter whether it
is old or new, they will enjoy it just
the same. Send them their home pa
per, send your own, after you have
read it, if you do not feel like sub
scribing for them.
