LUCK FOR LETHERT

Charles A. Letnert was born
under a lucky star. He is the
Democratic candidate for clerk
of the supreme court given him
without any effort on his part,
and he was probably selected
with the idea of filling out the
ticket, and a little publicity was
all that he could have expected.
But here is where his tutelar
star got in it's work.
Ed. Smith, the deposed polit-
ical Republican boss, yearned
again for the fat trough, and
so he brought out a candidate
to oppose the man who had I'M
seated him. At the expense es-
timated at $4,000 the Mime
apolis pirates succeeded in land
ing a Nonpartisan on the G.. O.
P.
This was luck for Lethert, be-
cause at least one hundred thou
sand real Republicans will re-
pudiate the Nonpartisan candi-
date and vote for Lethert, who
is said to be we'll qualified for
the position, and it is a 2-to-1
bet right now that Lethert will
be elected by a big majority.
AS the Democrats in large
numbers saved the nomination
for Burnquist, and prevented
the nomination of a Nonparti-
san, it is no more than fair, I'M
der the circumstances, for the
Republicans to give the Demo-
Gratis one office, and wipe the
last Nonpartisan off the Repub-
lican slate.
Charles A. Lethert: Here's
wishing you success at the polls.

SHAME!

The senate has postponed consider
alton of the cons titutional amend
ment conceding to women their inner
ent right to vote.
The postponement was made nee
essary by flibuster conducted by
the Tory opponents Of the measure.
1t was impossible to bring it to a
vote unless the friends of the meas.
ure consented TO sacrifice part of
their strength by pairing two of their
number with one opponent who was
absent. Sacrificing that one vote
might have meant the defeat of the
measure; which is, of course, what it's
opponents are after.
In all but fighting, American wom>
en- are marching shoulder to Shout
der in this war with American men.
Of the suffering and sacrifice Of
war, theirs is the heavier and the
harder share.
Yet there are senators il congress,
enough of them to block justice, VINO
are resolutely determined to deny
them political equality with men, and
so 20 keep them on the political level
of idiots, criminals and others who
are denied the ballot!

shame to America!-Duluth Her.

presence, in public park in that
city, of a statue Of "The Naked
Truth" because it was gift of the
now discredited German-American
Alliance, and virtually present
from Berlin. Their suggestion, how
ever, that it should be melted down
for munitions is open to criticism.
Surely a far better plan would be 20
forward it to Germany with the re-
quest that it be placed in prominent
position in the Thiergarten of Berlin,
where the novelty of the naked truth
being presented to the German peo-
pie should attract immense crowds
Thus the tsatue might be made to
render signal service to the Allies.
