Fight Between WelKnown Prog ressve and

Wilson Administration and All Forward Looking
Groups in Minnesota Support Ca|derWood


THE campaign for United States Senate in Min
nesota presents ideal situation Two ca,
pable, honest, loyal men, both well known
throughout the state, both Of whom have given the
best years Of their lives to public SERVICE the
only candidates. There Is third candidate rep
resenting party-tas or fanatical extreme q
questionable compromise policy. Nor is there any
side issue to befog and becloud the judgment of
the voters. Both men are intensely loyal and
patriotic The wet and dry question is eliminated
because both men are dry. This leaves both wet
and dry voters free to choose the man who will
best represent them on the decisive issues. Nor
does equal suffrage enter in the contest for while
Senator Nelson voted against suffrage in 1916, he
Joined the suffrage ranks in 1918.
But on questions involving conservation, labor
higher tariff public ownership Of railroads, initia-
tive and referendum, and on similar issues, Sen
ator Nelson has been consistently and emphaticaly
reactionary.
Mr.. Calderwood takes exactly the opposite
stand. His years Of public advocacy of measures
demanded in his platform are the abundant guar
anty of his honest devotion to them.
comparison OF Senator Nelson's record and
Mr.. Calderwood's platform will give basis upon
which every voter may intelligently cast his vote

the few number Of animals bred are
