Despite this cruel campaign, let
US love one another.
A lot of dumps in Duluth need
more Hicken and less chicken.

It seems to be less majestic for any
city employe to discuss commission
or Farrell's merits critically.
It has been suggested that Noah
A. Young might write q best seller
on "Some Nurses I Have Met"
That Farrell record is rather a
slippery place to stand these wet
mornings.
"Farrell has done things" the
Fat Boys cry. True-the taxpayers,
for example.
Commissioner Farrell will do
we'll to keep away from Oliver until
after election day:
"Greetings, old Night School
Chum," says Old John Barleycorn to
the Boy Engineer.
The Warren running for commits
sioner is not the same Warren who
bit the dust at Bunker Hill.
Having the smallpox In Superior
is about as much of a hardship as
going to prison in Siberia.
Many are wondering how Uncle
Sam whipped the Germans without
the direct help of commissioner Far
rell.
A vote for Farrell might be con-
sidered an endorsement Of Farrells
old friend, McKercher, whom he pro-
tected as chief Of police.
A real union man supporting Far
rell for commissioner Is about as
consistent as hanging portrait Of
Martin Luther in a Catholic church.
Those Florence Nightingale bird
ies, so very easy to look upon, seem
to have fitted to kindlier and more
profitable climes.
The Rip-saw stands committed to
q policy of substantial restoration Of
the forest fire victims OF the hinter-
land.
Isn't It awful, Mabel, how tho
terrible Rip-saw persists in living
and growing, both in size, strength
and popularity?
II you have more money than you
can well use, perhaps some member
Of the board of education can give
ysu . tip on "sood thing"
The previous issue of the Rip-saw
consisted of $4,000 copies. The Is
sue before. that mounted to $4,000

Candidate Murnian is real union
man, therefore it is entirely consist
ent for union men to support him
as . union candidate.
IF Paddy Mcdonnell we're in the
land Of the living he would be out
whooping it up for commissioner
Farrell-NOT.
From John Gonska's convivial bar
to the. Kitchi Gammi club lockers
is quite q climb UP the social ladder
in four short years.
The taxpayers might profitably
count up how many council meetings
commissioner Farrell missed in his
first two years Of office.
If Frank Heidman and commits
sioner Farrell will search the Scrip
lures for a change, they will find
something about bearing false wit
ness.
Let the National Congress and the
Minnesota Legislature unite in pro-
viding not less than s10,000,000 for
the practical rehabilitation of the
devastated hinterland.

There are three candidates for
commissioner who were born in
Canada. Blame their parents for it.
These candidates came over as soon
as they conveniently could.
Midshipman Midget has been
quieter than a mouse since the pri-
maries. AS for Johannes Wiggle-
stick, he seems to have become en-
tirely lost in the shuttle.
If commissioner Farrell is an en-
gineer, then the Rip-saw man is a
millionaire. While one is having a
pipe-dream, he might as we'll have a
good one.
Wise boys, with vision, are begin
ming to call at the Rip-saw office to
leave advertising. They appreciate
tho value Of live, growing, heavy
circulation.
It already is whispered that w. A.
Cant will get of the district bench
and Wrsstle with William L. Carss
