BOOSTER TOURS AND HOUSE TO-
HOUSE CANVASS WILL BE
- CARRIED ON

In every township of the state, barring
those where there are no members of
the Non-partisan League, there was
gathering of the clans last Monday for
the purpose of discussing ways and
means to win the primary election for
those candidates on the Republican
ticket who received the endorsement of
the Non-partisan League. In some of
the places they met at 200 o'clock IN
the afternoon at the usual polling place
but IN most cases the meetings were
postponed until evening baceuse of the
great amount of work that has to be
done just at the present time. If all
complied with the instructions issued
from regular headquarters, then there.
were at least $4,000 people gathered
in the state of Minnesota for the purpose.
OF preparing for political campaign
Each, member of the league received a.
letter from headquarters of which the
following is part: ......
Rights And Duties
"You are an American citizen. It is
not only your privilege but it is your
duty as an American citizen to take part
IN government. How good a govern
ment you have depends on how active.
and intelligent a part the voters take in .
electing men to office. ..-...:
'The Non-partisan League is an or
ganization built to study government
and pick out and elect to Office men who
will make and enforce the laws in the
interest and for the benefit of the people.
! Farmers Must Campaign
"You will vote for the League candi-
dates. Very few League members viii
be foolish enough to believe the lying
press and permit big business spies to
set them against the farmers and workers
in the fight, but you must do more than
vote - you must campaign as you never
did before. 49,,
IF you are to win this election you and
your neighbors must call on every voter
in your township and your county.
'The League speakers, organizers,
officers and office force are all working
every minute, but $4,000 League men,
bers can do more in one week than all
the League speakers and organizers,
can do in year. --... .'.2.s III
Booster Tours For Farmers
Work every day from June 10th,
to June 18th but set aside one day
for special campaign. Get out as many
automobiles as possible, put on your
banners and parade the township. Cali;
on every voter. Stir them up. See
that all are determined to get out Ole
election day. Get a list of League
candidates into the hands of every voter.
"Only by getting every League MEM
Der active in the campaign can we win.
If all will work there is no doubt about
the result.
''But remember, big business, the
combined capitalists, aided by the poll
ticians and some mistaken and foolish
business men are making the fight Of
their lives. If your candidates win
it won't be because your enemies don't
do every thing possible and use every
kind Of lie to defeat them
A Hot Finish
Just to what extent the campaign
will be pushed in this and neighboring
counties is not known at this time but
it is rumored that in both Brown and
Nicollet Counties the farmers con-
template making a booster tour thru
the county. They will carry a band
with them and will stop at many of the
places in the county and while there
fraternize with the town folks. From
present indications it would seem as tho,
the last week of the campaign before
the Primary election would be very
strenuous one.
Several weeks ago the Review pre-.
d1cted that Otto S. Oswald would soon
cop the gold medal at the weekly shoot
Of the Hunters Club at Hunters Rest
The prediction was verified when Mr.
Oswald last Sunday made the highest
score on the King target and was con
sequently entitled to the award Of honor.
Chas. Hauenstein il. managed to grab
off the leather medal. The following
scores we're made:
