FOR SENATOR-T J. MANGAN


4Sth senatorial district and the issue to be decided is
whether or not the state have at it's head
who will stand absolutely loyal behind the national ad
ministration in the conduct of this and whether
the district is to have who will stand
absolutely behind the loyal of the state.
The first round in the governorship contest of the
will fought out at the primary and Burnquist
renomnated he will be reelected if Lndberg obtains
Republican nomination, the battle will then go to
election the contest being between the DEM
the standard bearer of the loyal ele
ment, and the Republican nominee G. I! } as the
standard bearer of the disloyal element.
In the end the loyal candidate is going to win be-
cause Minnesota is strongly loyal but say
with certainty whether the next will be Burn
quist Wheaton, but with certainty that he
will be 100 cent loyal The chances ten to one
it will be Burnquist.
Now who will the 4sth senatorial district send to
the senate-a who will support that loyal governor,
who will do all that he to embarrass. hamp
and impede that loyal governor?
That's the ISSUE and the sole issue.
The opposition to the governor and to the govern
the legislature will center around the Tribe
of Towney and will be composed of Non-Partsan League
Socialist senators
sentatives radical labor senators and
radical wet senators and representatives and design
ing politicians who would gather together and
with these elements for their Their
gram will be attempt the of the Public Satfey
Commission law failing in that hedge about
the authority of the commission to render it
less by legislative pronouncement many
beneficial things which the commission has done, and
go possible in stirring up which
will divert the people from the main business of winning
the and put much possible the socialist
program of which Townley and his Tribe fond.
The opposition to the governor in the next legsa-
ture will be renegade bunch directed and controlled
by few powerful leaders and held together by their op
position to the things that make for the patriotic
moral betterng of the state The NonPartisan League
members of the legislature opposed Burnqust
because he has the dsoyal plans
and has upheld sheris and county attorneys in block
ing their dsoyal propaganda resulting in the indct
ment and conviction of several of them radical
labor element will Burnqust because he
law order and the authority the settlement
of the street strike last winter the radical
will Burnqust because they opposed to the
and would have hesitation turning the coun-
try over to the Hun as Lenine and Trosky did with
Russia; the radical vets will Burnquis
the Public Safety Commission which appointed cleaned
the resorts and saloons Gateway district of
Minneapolis furnished gathering places for the
w W. and other disorderly elements lastly those
politicians who have fought the will oppose
him simply because he has insisted being governor
Such in the fewest possible words the political
issue in Minnesota today and any district which would
stand before the balance of the state 100
loyal must send to the senate who will stand
hind the 100 governor without or side
stepping.
Now as to the candidates There are four, T. J
F. L. Cliff of Big Stone county, and L. c. Spooner of
Stevens county
In other times, considerable weight should be given
to the fact that Stevens county to the SEN
aorship because this county has for
16 it going to Grant county years of that
time and to Traverse county IL years. Big
county in the district and necessarily
the claim to the senaorship that counties can
but in this connection it should be that L. O. Foss
the candidate from Grant county man of ability and
100 cent loyal and that F. L. Ortonvile
man of ability and 100 cent American. Of the
two Stevens county candidates T. j. Mangan is
man of ability and 100 per cent American
and L. c. Spooner is Of ability and
the candidate of the Non-Parisan League the candi
date Of the Tribe of Townley who will attempt
in the next legislature to do everything possible to turn
back the clock far Minnesotas loyal is con-
cerned and by opposition and methods
hamper the loyal administration of this state.
Now writing this editorial for our readers

test is going to be principally between Mangan and
Mr.. Spooner. Mr. Mangan well known here as a
