abandoned his speaking campaign to
bring relief to the thousands OF Min
rasota citizens whose homes and
families were destroyed by the crue!
fires of Northern Minnesota. Mean
while his traducers have been hold
ing meetings all over the state III
direct violation of the orders of the
state board of health which forbids
public gathering of all sorts during
the epidemic of the Spanish influenza.
At the June primaries the people
of the state soundly repudiated the
principles Of the Nonpartisan league
by defeating their trump card, Charles
A. Lindbergh, author of the sedious
and reasonable book "Why Is Your
Country at War" In his stead Town
ley's choice has fallen upon David
Evans of Sleepy Eye. Evans had long
been an ardent dry advocate but in
accepting the Townley endorsement
he got down on his knees to the wet
forces of the state in most abject
manner. By this act he demonstrated
that he is a political trimmer of the
worst possible sort. In his public ut
terances up and down the state he
does not enunciate any principle but
confines his talk to TRADE of abuse
of those who have steadfastly kept
Minnesota behind the boys "over
there"
The Herald does not believe that
Evans will be elected. His elevation
to the position of chief executive of
the state can only be brought about
by giving Fred Wheaton, the demo-
cratic nominee for governor, larg',
vote. The fight is unquestionably be-
tween Gov. Burnquist and Evans. Mr.,
Wheaton is high grade American
citizen and would make splendid
governor, but every vote cast for him
next Tuesday is virtually a half vote
for Evans. AS loyal citizen, if you
indorse the work of Gov. Burnquist,
if you believe in the retention of the
public safety commission and if you
are opposed to turning the state of
Minnesota over to highbinding dema-
gogues Of the Townley stripe YOU can

STAND BACK OF BOYS AND
COUNTRY.

The loyalty of the people is on trial.
They will decide at the election Tues
day, Nov. 9Th, whether they will stand
loyalty back of the flower Of young
American manhood laying their lives
on the altar of liberty, on the bloody
battlefelds of France, or whether they
will turn the state over to Townleyism
which in it's last analysis means Red
Socialism and a close affliation with
the notorious society destructing l. w.
w. organization.
The Herald is firmly convinced
that the great heart of the people OF
Stearns county is loyal to the core.
That many of the farmers have been
nisled into following false principles,
while others have joined the Non
partisan League to give their Pro-
German sympathies and activities
the widest possible scope.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S POLITE
CAL BLUNDER.

Democracy as a political organiza-
ton must be in very bad way.
Notwithstanding the fact that
President Wilson with grand -four
ish some months ago announced that
politics were adjourned" until after
the war, he has proven that in a crisis
he is a partisan of the rankest type.
Realizing that there was more than
a strong probability that the next
house of representatives in congress
to be elected Tuesday would pass into
the control of the Republicans, he has
issued letter to the nation urging
the election of all Democratic candi-
dates for the house and United States
senate. This Endorsement included
men who have VIGOROUSLY hindered
his war program.
The president puts up the very lame
plea that the election of Republican
majority would serve notice on Berlin
that the American people were not
back of him in the prosecution of the
war, and that those countries with
whom the United States is allied in
this conflict would lose heart.
We Gods! is this Democracy's war?
The Herald has presumed that it was
you war and my war, regardless of
our political affiliations.
What are the facts in the case?
Had it not been for the loyal and pa
triotic support of the very large ma
jority of the Republican members of
both house and senate the great war
measures advocated by the admins
tration would have been defeated by
his own party. By his public appeal
the president, by inference, gives voice
to the charge that the Republican
party as represented in congress have
been against the war. This inference
is both cruel and untrue.
Notorious Claude Kitchin of North
Carolina, chairman of the ways and
means communitte of the house, Dent
of Alabama, chairman of the military
affairs committee, and other pacifsts
are indorsed by Mr.. Wilson.
The president is probably more
worried over Republican opposition to
his peace policy than he is over their
opposition to his war program,
as the party stands unhesitatingly
committed to fighting this battle until
Germany makes an unconditional
surrender. The allied countries know
this and so does Germany.
The congress under President Will
sons regime has been VIGOROUSLY
sectional in all of its deliberations.
The Republicans, for instance, cannot
see the justice of fixing the price on
the wheat grown by the northern
farmer while the cotton raised by the
southern planter gives the widest
scope for profteering.
Before the congress elected next
Tuesday retires from office the ques-
ton of reconstruction following the
war will be well under way. Judging
by the sectionalism and incompetence
shown by the present democratic ma
jority in both branches Of congress
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-10-31

ing town; and the loyal support OF
this city on Nov. 5 will no doubt be
paid with interest should this city ever
need the help of Melrose in political
way.
The Herald again wishes to call the
attention of the people of Sank Cen
tire to the fact that DIR. Hilbert is a
staunch friends of the Home School
for Girls. Every other state institu-
ton has at least one member in each
legislative body that stand sponsor for
their particular institution. One of
the important prerequisites a man
should possess to expect the support
of the people of this community is
his friendship for the Home School.
Unless all signs fail this and all other
state institutions will need every man
they can elect to protect their legltl-
mate interests next winter.
Above all DR.. Hilbert's American
ism is unquestioned. Mr.. Townley has
named his man and passed the word
around to defeat the Melrose man.
The attempt in the primaries failed,
and the Sank Centre vote will very
likely either elect or defeat Senator
Hilbert next Tuesday.
Senator Hilbert has placed the SEN
atorship from this district above COM
monplace. Do not put rubber
stamp senator in his place. Under all
conditions, it is mortal cinch that
if your boy "over there" could vote
next Tuesday he would support Sen
ator Hilbert. Stand back of your
boy.-A. M. w.

PROTECT YOUR BEST INTERESTS
BY VOTING FOR SENATOR
p. A. HILBERT.

AS election day draws near it is
more and more apparent that the
good judgment of the voters of the
Forty-Sxth Senatorial district will
prevail and that DR.. P. A. Hilbert of
Melrose will be reelected as senator
from this district.
The Herald appeals particularly to
the voters of Sank Centre to stand
Loyalty back of DIR. Hilbert next
Tuesday. He is man of influence in
the senate and with his former legis-
lative experience to guide him he will
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-10-31

be better equipped than ever to rend-
er faithful and efficient service.
The incoming legislature will have
much important business to handle
and it behooves this district to have
a man who can work in close harmony
with his colleague, Senator ]. D. Sui
Ivan of ST. Cloud.
We also want representative who
will not go off on tangent and blind
ly follow the dictation of irresponsible
leaders. DIR. Hilbert is keen bust
ness man. His interests are such that
legislation affecting this part OF
Stearns county will affect him.
DR.. Hilbert comes from q neighbor-

DON'T LOWER THE STANDARD
OF THE ATTORNEY GENER-
AIS OFFICE.

Clifford D. Hilton, for ten years
chief assistant attorney general, and
who was named as head Of the depart
ment following the death of Lyndon
A. Smith, is the Republican candidate
before the people for this important
branch of state service. Because of
his name being strange to the voters
he received barely enough votes at
the June primaries to nominate him.
Had the people of the state as a
whole been familiar with the splendid
type of man, his ability as safe, sane
and honest legal advisor. Mr.. Hilton
would have received as large a ma
jority as did Gov. Burnquist and the
other candidates on the Republican
ticket.
Taking advantage of the light vote
given Mr.. Hilton at the primaries the
Nonpartisan League has named Tom
Davis of Marshall as their candida
for attorney general. The Herald
editor knows both men intimately and
in all candor, there is no comparison
bstween the two.
Mr.. Hilton is splendid lawyer, a
high type Of American citizen, clean
morally and every other way. Davis
is a ranke opportunist; brilliant and
erratic; INSCRIPTIONS and entirely
lacking in the qualifications for the
high office that he seeks.
Mr.. Hilton will bring credit and
distinction to the office of attorney
general. Davis will be the reverse.
How even Townley can stand for him
is beyond the Herald's comprehension.

AERO CLUB MEETS
 10 DISCUSS NEW WESTERLY CANNON
Officials Refuse to Believe Existence of German
 Long Range Gun.

New York, March "A (Sunday)- Officials of the Aero club of America who today called special meeting to discuss the nature of the weapon em- ployed bv the Germans in bombarding Paris at a reported distance of more than 70 miles, refused tonight to be- lieve that long range guns were used as claimed by the German official com- munication.
 Alan R. Hawley, president of the club, declared there were only four ways in which Paris might be shelled: first, by new gigantic long range guns within 35 miles of Paris; second, by large aerial torpedoes equipped with wings, which might be launched on Paris from almost any distance and possibly guided by wireless control; third, by aerial torpedoes dropped from small airplanes flying at height of 25,OOO feet; fourth by aerial tor pedoes especially built to be shot from huge German eirplanes equipped with four motors, reported as being under construction in recent dispatches from Europe.

 Locate Big Gun.
 One of the mysteries of the offen sive. which has now been explained is that the shelling of Paris is being done by a long-range German gun. This statement is contained in the Berlin official communication, and a Paris dispatch says that one of the guns has been located near Laon. about 76 miles from the center of Paris Turnout Sunday and into the mid afternoon shells were dropped into Paris at intervals of from 12 to 20 minutes.

 On the other battle fronts the fight ing continues comparatively slight, except for reciprocal bombardments and trench raiding operations along the Aisne front and in the Cham pagne, where the artillery duels be- tween the French and the Germans have been somewhat violent.
 American Guns Busy.
 The Americans on their sectors, es- pecially northwest of TOul, are daily keeping up their artillery practice with visibly good results against the German positions in front of them, and now and then carrying out sue cessfu raids.
 In the Italian theatre the snow on the ground and the freshets in the valleys continue to hinder operations on large scale, but from preparatory artillery activities and the skirmishes that are being carried out it becomes increasingly evident that this theatre shortly is to be the scene of a san Suinary encounter.
