STEARNS COUNTY MEN
EXONERATED.

The entire generation of the
eight st. Cloud men, directors in the
Pan Motor Company, charged with
using the United States mail to de-
fraud, is very gratifying to the resi-
dents of the county. =.
In their zeal for their home city,
Judging by the court decision, they
became involved in dangerous COM
pany by becoming dummy directors
in a bushes proposition that had been
carried on in a manner that brought
them into federal courts. ..
Federal Judge Lands before whom
the case was tried, is rarely over1uled
by the higher court, and it is gener-
ally expected in this section that the
verdict against President Pandalfe
will stand. -. ..Hss.

believe that this splendid plant will be
dismantled even if the Pan Motor
Company should happen to go to
pieces. i

may be reorgaized, but in any event

AS TO THE PRESIDENCY

Already the American press IS teel-
ing out the pulse of the nation on the
coming presidential situation. And
already the hand writing on the wall
is pointing to General Leonard Wood,
commander of the central department.
That General Wood will be the next
president of the United States is not
doubtful for a moment, providing he
will accept the nomination. And he
will be a republican president.
A close friend of the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the soldier, despite
the numerous acts of the administra-
ton to belittle his efforts, Leonard
Wood stands before the American
public today as the man of the hour.
During the war he was made the
brunt of the petty indignities of
small and petty administration. He
was not observing Democrat" and
so the nation was obliged to suffer for
the want of services on. the battle
field. Like his friend Theodore Roose-
welt, his services to his country were
refused in the hour of great need that
the wishes of the few, unfortunately
in power, might be appeased. 1t was
the order relieving General Wood OF
his command just before his division
sailed for overseas that will make
him the next president of the United
States. The American nation, the
thinking nation will not tolerate the
petty schemes of an administration
whether it be Democrat or Republi-
can.
That General Wood has the sup
port of the American Legion goes
without question, and it is the Amer
lean Legion who will elect the next
president. It is the men who took
part in the great conflict who are best
equipped to deal out justice in the
case of General Wood and it is they
who will not hesitate when zero hour
arrives. ....
As to the Democrats, their only
hope lies in the consent of President
Wilson to accept third term. And
if The Herald is at all informed, it
does not believe that the President is

States. 1t will accept no slackers,
conscientious DIRECTORS nor deserters.
1t has not the support of the so called
Union Labor" nor is it particularly
loved by the l. w. w. It stands for
America as our Revolutionary fathers
meant it-as such patriots as Theo-
dore Roosevelt would have it. 1t
stands by the constitution Of the Unit
ed States "as it is written" and it
don't care tinker's DIN how war is
declared just so it is just war and
war in the interests of humanity,
constitutional war. 1t believes in
encouraging dignity and calmness in
national crisis, but it believes in
Action, Americanism and the fact that
a soldier is union man or not makes
no difference just so he is an American.
The head and front of the World
War Veterans is Ralph VanLear, son
of the former Socialist mayor of Min
neapolis. Van Lear posed as a consci-
entious objector and when he reached
Camp Dodge, Iowa, he refused to don
the uniform of his country or to eat
the Chow of the rest of the dough
boys Before his court martial he
was ducked in the Des Moines river
by the soldiers into whose company
his presence had been forced. ~
At recent session of Congress that
body refused to recognize the World
War Veterans At a recent session
of the Minnesota legislature, that or
ganization reserved rooms in the CAPT
tai building for the American Legion,
but refused to recognize the World
War Veterans.
That is the difference, Mr.. Reader.
Think it over. 10.

THE DIFFERENCE

At a recent meeting of the local
post of the American Legion, one of
the subjects of discussion was that of
the world War Veterans"
It appeared that nobody present
knew much about the organization of
world War Veterans" so for their
enlightenment we will draw com
parison. ,
Our basis of information is an edi-
torial appearing in recent issue of
"The Mesaba Ore" a non-partisan pa
per published at Hibbing.

Grams" are open to anyone, who
served with the Entente Allies during
the World War;" That anyone"

Stacker, conscientious objector or de-
serter in the service, and especially
if he be a member of organized labor
or the l. w. w.
"The organization is opposed to all
forms of compulsory military train
ing" ..-.
THAT in a crisis the organization
will encourage dignity, calmness, jus.
tice and peaceful settlement"
"That the. organization opposes all
wars unless declared by the direct
vote Of the people," And let us add
that a few paragraphs back and in
most every lead, this organization ad.
vocates the upholding of the constitu.
ton "as it is written ~..
