LUTHERANs PLEDGE SUPPORT

On his return to Minneapolis last
week DR.. H. J. Stub, president OF the
National Lutheran council, Informed
A. r. Rogers, Ninth District Liberty
Loan Chairman, that the body OF
which DIR. Stub is president had adopt
ed q resolution at its Chicago confer
ence pledging the unqualified support
of the Lutherans to the United States
Government In all Of its war activi-
ties.
The National Lutheran council Is
composed Of synodical presidents, pas
tors and laymen representing the vast
majority Of the Lutheran church bod
les in the United States and taking
In Lutherans Of all nationalities,
Swedish, German, Norwegian, Danish,
Finnish, and all others affiliated with
this current church body.
The following Is the resolution
adopted:
"As loyal citizens we will stand
back of our Government not only in
promoting the Fourth Liberty Loan
but also in supporting our Govern
ment in all activities necessary to
bring the war to victorious end and
to establish peace on the basis OF
right and justice to all"

NOVEL PLAN FOR
BUYING BONDS
People of Ninth District To Be
Given Opportunity to Pur-
chase "Over the Counter"
PATRIOTISM RELIED ON
Personal Solicitation and Salesman
ship To Be Almost Entirely Dis
pensed With-Nlnety Per Cent
Of Counties Adopt Method.

The quality of patriotism is so firm
ly intrenched In the hearts of the peo-
pie of the Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict that in nearly ninety per cent
of the two hundred and lightweight
counties constituting this district the
people will have the opportunity to
step up to the counter and do their
bond buying without personal solicit
tation.
In none Of the other Federal Re-
serve Districts Is such plan being
attempted, but the executive commit
tee of the Ninth District feels conf
dent that 1t is justified in the conf
dence 1t Is reposing In the people OF
this district when it invites them to
do their own bond buying over the
counter, and dispensing thereby al
most entirely with personal solicita-
ton and salesmanship.
Good morning, neighbor. How
much money does our Government
need from me in this Fourth Liberty
Loan?"
That is the question fully million
residents of this Ninth District are
expected to ask as they step into their
usual polling places or some other
centrally located headquarters on the
opening of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign.
And the man behind the counter
will say after consulting his card In
dex:
well. Mr.. Jones, our Government
is looking to you this time for loan
of about $1,000"
And the good American purchaser
is relied upon to reply:
"All right neighbor, that sounds
like a fair allotment to me. Just
hand over the necessary papers and
I will sign up"
This method of bond selling is not
made compulsory throughout the dis
trict, but the district committee, hav
ing had considerable experience, and
after much consideration decided to
recommend "over the counter" sales
to all county organizations and near
ly ninety per cent Of the county
chairmen sent In word that they
would adopt this plan.
This unique development is regard
ed as probably the highest compli
ment that could be paid to the practi
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-10-04

The editor of the Miner is can
didate for the legislature in the Sixty
First District which comprises all ter
ritory north of the township line be-
tween towns Sc and 81 and all east
Of the range line between II and Is,
which includes the towns and cities
Of Ely, Winton, Robinson, McCom-
Der, Tower, Soudan, Embarras, Mes
aba, Allen, Aurora, Biwabik, Gilbert,
Mckinley, Elba, Virginia, Eveleth,
Fayal, Skibo, Buyck, Vermilion Dam,
Harding, Echo River and the sur
rounding country.
In becoming a candidate, we feel
that we can be of some use to the
people of the district and the state.
We have made our home on the Yer
million Range since 1888 and were
here before the Mesaba Range was
opened and while Tower and Ely
possessed the only iron mines in the
state. During all these years we
have labored for the good Of the
country and incidentally have accu-
mulated family, some age and lot
Of debts for ourselves. We have also
accumulated working knowledge of
the needs of the district which may
prove of benefit in case we are ell
ected and if not elected we will still
feel that we have done our duty and
have been a part in the upbuilding
Of this, the greatest country on the
face Of the globe.
We are using the phrase, "Ver
million Range Candidate" advisedly
Not since 1898 when the late P. R
Vail was elected from this range, ha.
the Vermilion had representative
: in the legislature. Since that time
we have always voted for Duluth ane
Mesaba Range candidates. Since
the district has been reapportionec
80 as to do away with the shoestrinf
with Duluth as the shiny end and &
part of the Mesaba with the Vermil
ion Range have become one district
the people of the district have be
come allied more closely and the in
terests are more in common. W.
feel now that in justice to this enc
Of the district we should be repre-
scented. Two men are to be elected
There are four candidates. One
from Ely, one from Aurora and two
from Virginia. To elect the Vermil
ion range candidate and one Mesabs
range man is no more than fair.
Virginia has the senatorship sure
and the fight is between the -four
candidates for the legislature. TX
divide the two offices to cover thu
district is no more than fair. Ii
doing this, we feel that all will b,
benefited.
All the political planks in sul
platform are labeled, America.
We believe in this country, are work

Five slackers give up their citizen
ship papers, says the Two Harbors
Journal-News. They turned us down.
Two Harbors ought to be warm
place for these five to spend the
winter in. The first ship Sweden
bound should cary their carcasses
back to the home they love so well.
Anyone turning America down has
a worm in his head and should be
examined. Why did they wait until
America was in trouble before de-
clarng themselves? Whose job have
they been stealing all this time of
their residence here? Who has fur
nished them with employment? I'm
der the folds of what flag have they
been protected in their rights as al
legged men? Sometimes it is hard
to do as the President has asked us
when cases of this kind occur. Hap
PLY and well these occurrences are
rare, as they should be. Still, men
like that make mighty poor citizens
in any country.

Since the beginning of the war
neighbors have become better ac-
quainted with their neighbors. The
food hoarder, the fuel hog and the
Stacker in other lines is now cata-
logued in an open book and the rec
ord of each is known. Since the al
lotment plan of selling Liberty Bonds
has been adopted in the land the
money hoarder finds it just as hard
to get by with his camoufage as does
the wealthy appearing gent with his
paste diamonds and his four-fush-
ing show. All this knowledge will
be valuable after the war when the
Profiteer will have a hard row to hoe
and the Stacker will resemble a rim

pecially to the returning heroes

ing for this country and are standing
solidly behind the country and its
officers in these times when the eff
forts of every man, woman and child
should be wholly and solely directed
towards the successful conclusion of
the task we have set out to accom-
plish; to wallop the stuffings out of
the Prussian war dragon and keep
this country safe for ourselves and
our children. Our own two boys
and two from the Miner force are
helping to do this and we sincerely
hope that they and their comrades
will return safely after the task is
accomplished. Our sentiments are
embodied in the slogan, "One Flag,
One Country and One Language"
If the voters of the district feel
that their interests will be in better
hands by the election of the other
candidates, well and good. We are
going to make an effort however to
convince Lille NOIcI Ch1G VIC SAhiAA
ion Range is entitled to representa-
ton. We cannot see and meet each
individual voter. Our time is not
our own just now. We are doing
extra shifts with the activities grow
ing out of the successful waging of
war; doing our duty by the country
and trying to make both ends and
the middle keep in touch.
We feel that the voter appreciates
less political activity in these trying
times and will do his duty as he sees
it without the necessity of a personal
visit from each and every candidate
Just now, electioneering is non-es-
sential occupation. We would like
to shake the hand of every man in
the district, but it cannot be. We
leave our cause in the hands of the
voter.

other meaning than what we know.
