sofa to Restore Harmony.
Burnquist SpoiIs Chance OF Healing
Breach In Party by Making Vitu-
perative Attack on Creei for Story
In Everybody's Magazine.

st. Paul, Minn.-As a result of the
split in the party ranks due to the
blunders made by Governor j. A. A.
Burnquist of Minnesota, Chairman w.
HI. Hays of the national republican
committee was forced to come to the
Twin Cities the other day in the hope
of restoring harmony.
Any hope of harmony was DESTROYED
however, when Governor Burnquist at
a large rally in the st. Paul auditori-
UNI renewed his attacks on the Nation
al Nonpartisan League and IN vltu-
perative language gave the lie to
George Creel chairman of the United
States committee on public informa-
ton. CreePs article in the March
number of Everybody's magazine, de-
scribing the reign of terror in MIN
nesota, placed the responsibility Tor
near lynchings and tar and feather
narties on Governor Burnquist and the
Minnesota Public Safety commission
Mr.. Hays spoke at luncheon and
reception in Minneapolis, before the
Minnesota senate and at the rally in
the evening.

SHERIFF PAYS GILBERT
Former League Man Collects
Damages for kidnapping.
Martin County Official Settles Out of
Court-case Started What GEORGE
Creel Terms "Reisn of Terror"
In Minnesota.

ST. Paul, Minn.-Sheriff Carver of
Martin county, who was sued by To.
sepn Gilbert, former organization di.
rector OF the National Nonpartisan
league, as an aftermath of the kidnap-
Ing or Gilbert year ago, has settled
the case out Of court and paid Gilbert
5000.
The Gilbert kidnapping case started
what George Creel, chairman Of the
United States committee on informa.
ton, terms 'the reign of terror" in
Minnesota.
Although Gilbert was at liberty I'm.
der bond fixed by the Ramsey county
district court, pending trial on a case
in Martin county, which has since
been dismissed, Sheriff Carver acting
under instructions of Albert R. Allen
then county attorney of Martin coun
ty, came to st. Paul with William
Roepke, his deputy, and placed Gilbert
under arrest. A writ of habeas cor
pus was at once applied for, but be
fore the writ could be issued, Gilber
had been spirited out of town b!
Roepke. The former league employe
was taken to Fairmont, the count!
seat of Martin county, over 100 miles
away, and lodged in Jail. He was re
leased the next day, when Sheriff
Carver wired Allen that a writ o
habeas corpus had been issued.

Illinois Unions Vote 10 to to Join
Movement.


Chicago.-Union labor in Illinois has
placed itself almost solidly behind the
labor party movement, according to
an announcement at the offices Of the
secretary of the Illinois Federation OF
Labor. In the referendum sent out
sby the federation on the question OF
endorsing the labor party, the returns
show the following:
In the state at large, 354 locals de
clared in favor of the labor party
while 35 locals were against the move
ment-a 10 to 1 decision. AL Towers
assistant secretary, was highly elatee
over the results. He declared it to be
a splendid victory for the cause o.
union labor.
'Tt shows that union labor dowl
state is realizing that it must unite
for a political as we'll as economic
fight" said Mr.. Towers. I'm all OF thu
campaigns which are now in the past
our people have been entirely too IN
different on this subject. We hav'
seen union labor get the worst OF it 81
often that the spectacle became rath
er commonplace"

SEE ANTI-LEACUE PLOT
Similar Bills introduced in All
Northwest Legislatures.
Repeal of Primary Laws Creating
State Constabulary No Mere Co
incidence-Poiitical Control From
Outside Apparent.

st. Paul, Minn.-A striking feature
of the legislative sessions of 1919 in
the Northwestern states has been the
similarity of the bills that have been
introduced by reactionary legislators
In every Northwestern state, with
the sole exception of North Dakota
bills we're introduced to go back to
the corrupt convention system of nom
mating candidates for Office, thus kill
ing the direct primary, for which the
people carried on a battle for years
In Idaho the bill repeating the direct
primary has been enacted into Law
and signed by the governor. In Mime
sofa the bill has passed the lower
house, Governor Burnquist's force!
are urging it's passage by the senate
and the governor stands ready to sigr
it as soon as it is passed.
For ConstabuIary.
The governors of Minnesota, Mon
tana, Idaho, Washington, Colorado
and Nebraska, with great unanimity
all recommended the establishment o
state constabularies, thus continuin;
militarism and giving employers
powerful club to use in coercing en-
ployes in case of labor troubles. Min
nesota and Idaho, which take the lea
in reactionary legislation, both hav
approved the constabulary bills.
is probable that they will be killed i
other states.
Red flag bills, criminal syndicalisr
bills, drawn in similar language, hav
also been introduced and passed 1
most Of the Northwestern states. Mos
of these bills probably were intende
by the men who introduced them,
enable the authorities to put down Law
| lessness, but many of them, notabl
the so-called Minnesota red flag bill
| were drawn so as to prohibit farmer
organizations from showing any insil
mia of their own. Some of the bill
gave such broad powers that the
could easily have been used by unfa
officials to bar any kind of action b
labor or farmers organizations durir
political campaign.
- No Coincidence.
There is such a marked similari1
between the programs of the Eeactio
aries in the various states that
can not be put down as a mere C
incidence. The evidence points unmi
takably to political control outsi'
Of the Northwest, that has induce
all the governors to urge state co
stabularies, that has sought to ha'
all the legislatures deny the vote
the right to select their own candidat
and that has tried to use the name
! patriotism to noodWink the people.

other lines of industry show the
same disposition as the iron and
steel industry, as they undoubtedly
will, we have nothing but an era of
wonderful prosperity ahead of u.s."
The Judge and the other prophets
of coming prosperity base their pre-
dictions on the outlook for exports.
"Our enormous export trade for
January and February" writes one
such authority, "record breaking
though it is, is sure to continue to
grow by leaps and bounds"
The exports of the United States
have been higher during the past
eight months than ever before in
the history of American commerce.
The total for the current fiscal year
will be around 61s billions. For JAN
uary alone the export total was over
622 millions. These records are high
but unless another war breaks out
in Europe they will fall off heavily
during the next six months.
Note how the exports are divided
Asia and South America together re-
ceived little over Is per cent OF
the total exports. Nearly one-third
of the exports We're to Great Britain
while Belgium, France and Italy re
ceived a quarter Of the exports
Great Britain has already estab-
lished an embargo on the inporta-
ton of certain foreign manufactur.
ers. Belgium, France and Italy are
borrowing money from the United
States with which to pay for the
good they purchase. None of these
countries is at the present time OF
a sound credit basis. They can con
tinue to buy from US while we con
tinue to lend to them.

Within six months the American
Army of Occupation will probably
have returned to American soil. The
British embargo will have cut off
hundreds of millions of American ex-
ports. Belgium, France and Italy
will no longer be borrowing from the
United States. All commercial ma
tions of Europe will be competing
bitterly with America for the mar
kets of Asia, South America, Africa
and Australia. Prosperity cannot be
built on exports in any case. Still
less can it be founded on exports to
shrinking foreign market.
