IN THE STATE

Minnesota seems to have given its
second rebuke to the thinly camou-
flaged Socialism Of the Townley lead
eship, and smashing one. This
ought to be lesson to the farmers
Minnesota has no hostility to the
farmers, or even to a farmers organ
ization as such. It has, however, the
bitterest hos ility to the leadership OF
the Nonpartisan league, and will not
turn its affairs over to it.
Ii the farmers of Minnesota would
concentrate on the one practical ex-
pedient of cooperative effort half
the money and energy they have Civ
en- freely to Townley, they and Min
nesota and the nation would be put
forward tremendously. Money and
effort put into Townley's hands is
money and effort squandered; and
moreover it is seriously prejudicing
the case of the farmer with most
balanced and Independent minds

Stems had not been a candidate
in the primaries and therefore was
not nominated. He had been in the
service Of Uncle Sam and lost foot
in France. His friends knew him to
be we'll qualified for the duties OF
the treasurer's office and placed him
in nomination by petition but too
late to get his name printed on the
ballots.
Stickers were distributed through
out the county by the candidates
friends with the result that he re-
ceived 2,018 votes while the two
primary nominees received respec-
lively 1896 and 487. The crippled
soldier, whose name was not on he
ballot received AS more votes than
his two competitors combined, in ad-
dition to which he lost about 200
votes because the stickers were i'm
properly placed by some of the cleo
tors that wanted to vote for him.
The incident is a warning to civil
ian office holders Of what they may
expect when the soldier boys get
back home and begin to take an ac-
tive part in politics. The men who
responded to Unsle Sans call in the
great emergency of the world war
will CONTROL the politics of the
United States for the next thirty
years even more fully than the SOL
diers of the civil war did for a SIM
liar length of time following that
conflict. Don't forget this prophecy.

 The Musical Art Society, under the direction of Mrs. J. c.

The membership, com posed of our best local talent, is due the same proportion of credit for it's loyalty The program last night was arranged to suit the diversity of tastes There were highly classic numbers, and numbers less classic and familiar to all. The Society was assisted by the following artists: Misses Agee McCray, Margaret and Helen Ander- son and MT. H. H. Shumaker. A free will offering was received, amount ing to the very liberal sum of $43.0. The amount received will be used fol the Red Cross. The Society and the local Red Cross committee, thank the public for it's liberal help in these times of sore need.
