sun, after all. Men have been ac- cused of corrupting elections by the use of money. Never before has a minister of the Gospel been called upon to defend a political nomina- tion by proving in court that his defeated opponent is an atheist.
 Congressman Volstead, the hope of the "drys," is accused of being man with mo religion" One might think the saloon men would be on his side. But they are not.
 Since the primary the preacher nominee made the following state ment:
 "My record is as dry as Mir Vol stead's, with little to spare"
 He stands on that. and the .'wets" will vote for him.
 They care little either way about the loaves and fishes.
The Nenana daily news., 1920-09-30
(From the Literary Digest.)

I'm as dry as VoIstead, and then some," in effect declares Rev. O. J. Qvale, nominated for Congress in the Seventh Minnesota district to succeed Congressman Volstead, of dry-law fame. The preacher can didate has been assel ting his dry ness, it seems, ever since he came out for Congress, in spite of the fact that he has been enjoying the enthusiastic support of the "wets,
 all of whom, it is said, voted for him at the primary. anomalous ITO the thing appears. Gvale ran on the Non-Partisan league ticket, which brought him thousands of farmer votes, but the report is that +he wet" vote was what turned the tide in his favor, and he was nom- mated by majority of 5000. At no time does it appear, however. that the minister offered the ad- herents of J. Barleycorn any en- couragemnt. On the contrary, be- ing an earnest man, with no desire to hide his light under bushel or in any, other obscure place, we are told that he attacked the demon Rum vigorously in all his campaign speeches, and when the ''wets" mailed contributions to his cam paign fund, he returned them with scorn. The "wets," not to be squelched, took the money and con- ducted a Qvale campaign of their own. When the ministerial aspir- ant for congressional honors spoke they crowded the hall and led in the applause. So the preacher was nom- mated amid great rejoicing, not only in Minnesota, but wherever there is mourning over the late Bar leycorn's untimely demise. How it happened that this uncompromising dry" had the unqualified support of the equally uncompromising ''wets' is explained on the ground that if Mir. Volstead does not go back to Congress the chairman of the house judiciary committee will be ''wet," and in that case the ''wets" feel certain that there will be new enforcement act to re- place the Volstead law, which new act. they are sure, will permit good deal more than one-half of one per cent alcohol in a drink
 But the anomaly of "dry" can-

The "Wets" Defeated Volstead,
 But Religion May Save Him

didate's winning by "wet" votes is not the only amazing thing about this bewildering Minnesota affair. Another feature has developed since Qvales nomination. which offers something entirely new in political gyrations and involves situation in which a candidates election depends on nothing less than his belief ill miracles. It appears that when he found himself defeated for the nom- ination. Volstead. who is not only an expert at writing booze laws, but apparently also wizard in politics, suddenly recalled that during the campaign his opponent had indorsed and sent out over the district circular in which it was charged, among other things, that Congress man Volstead had no religion and was really an atheist. Issuing cam paign matter of such character look ed to Congressman Volstead and his attorneys like a violation of the cor rupt practices statute for such case made and provided, wherefore they began action in court, alleging that MT. Qvale was in fact guilty of such violation. This would. of course, disqualify the preacher as can didate unless it could be proved in court that Folstead was an atheist The burden of proof was placed upon MT. Qvale. The case came up for hearing in due time, and from an account of the proceedings ap- bearing in the New York Tribune we quote as follows:
 The first step of the defense was a demurrer. Judge Johnson over ruled the motion.
 T have made an impartial study of the case" he said. "and have no doubt of the guilt of MT. Qvale, provided his statements concerning the religious beliefs of Mir. Volstead can be proved false. The demurrer is dismissed. Proceed with the case"
 Counsel for the plaintiff at once called Congressman Volstead to the stand.
 Are you an atheist?" he was asked.
 Absolutely not," was the answer. There never was time when such charge could be made against me-"
 Do you believe in Christianity and in the Bible, MT. Eolstead?"
 T do, and have always done so"
 "Are you a member of any church." -"
 Il attend the Congregational church."
 This is Lutheran community and Congressman Volstead is Scandinavian. The answer drew smiles from the Qvale adherents.
 Why are you member of that denomination" the congressman's attorney asked.
 ''I was confirmed in the Lutheran church when a boy, in Goodhue
The Nenana daily news., 1920-09-30

changed to the Congregational church.
 Attorney James Manahan, of St. Paul. Non-Partisan leader and coun- sel for MT. Qvale, subjected the con- gressman to merciiess cross-exam- inaticn.
 Do you believe literally that Christ fed five thousand people with two little fishes and five loaves?." he demanded.
 "Yes, it was miracle" was the answer
 Do you believe all the state ments in the Bible?"
 II believe in God and that the Bible was inspired by him." Miss Laura Volstead, daughter of the congressman, was then sworn.
 Do you believe your father to be a Christian?" she was asked.
 'I know he is one," she replied. Has your home, to your knowl- edge, been conducted as Christian home?"
 Always. My father is good man. He is not against the church."
 Did you ever hear him say that he did not believe in the Bible?"
 Never. He always told me. when l asked questions about passages in the Bible which I could not under stand, that God performed miracles to spread his teachings Did he ever tell you about the wedding where the water was turned to wine?" demanded the attorney for the defense.
 Irrelevant" began the attorney for the congressman, when Judge Johnson stopped him.
 That miracle is not mentioned m this case," said the court
 There was no further cross-exam- ination.
 H. S. Lampson and J. H. Deber- meyer, both trustees of the Granite Falls Congregational church. testi- ed to Congressman Volstead's Chris tian character. The attorneys for the congress- man rested their case-on the mira cle of the loaves and fishes. Then Mr. Qvale was called to give his version of the case. Most of the spectators seemed to favor the minister, and We are told that the judge threatened to have the court : room cleared before the demonstra- tions ceased. The account continues: Are you the regularly nominated Republican candidate for Congress in the Seventh Minnesota district?" asked Attorney Manahan. 'I am." ''How did you become such can didate?" -..:.~..
 II was nominated at the primary election in June, 1920" In that primary election who was your principal opponent?" Congressman Andrew J. Vol stead .: .......-.. And you defeated him?" II did"
 What was your majority" II received majority over Con- gressman Volstead, my leading op- ponent, of three thousand votes. ? Did you ever violate, in your knowledge. the corrupt practices act. which governs primary elections in the state of Minnesota?" T have not" 'You went through a bitter and hard-fought campaign?" II did. My opponents made many unfair attacks upon me-"
 "To your knowledge, did you ever make charge against your op- ponent, Andrew J. Volstead, which you did not believe could be sub- stantiated?"
The Nenana daily news., 1920-09-30

when you circulated it in this Chris tian community"
 "The statement was based upon sneering allusion I had heard of, in which Congressman Volstead ridi- culed the miracle of the loaves and the fishes. In my opinion, a man who will do that is not Christian"
 Had you any other ground for charging Congressman Volstead with atheism?"
 Il was told that he had called me a vile name. No Christian would use such language in speaking of a minister of the church.
 And upon this hearsay you stoop- ed to slander?"
 T do not believe my statements were slanderous. because I believed  them to be true. In my opinion the word atheism carries no opprobri- um."
 Smarting under the rapid fire of caustic questions, the minister made several dramatic appeals to the court for justice.
 The Rev. c. T. Lee, of Minneapo- lis, was called by the defense.
 He was asked if he had told Mir. Qvale that Congressman Volstead had no religion"
 His testimony was ruled out.
 J. A. Lee, of Benson, offered the same testimony He shared the same fate
 After taking the case under ad- visement, the court held that Con- gressman Volstead had the best of the situation. ana that he was entitled to the nomination on the ground that the preacher had violat- ed the corrupt practices act. In rendering his decision, the judge said:
 Such charges made in Chris tian and God-fearing community like the Seventh district by min ister of the Gospel, whose word could well be taken as true under ordinary circumstances, would lead to disaster and defeat of the oppos- ing candidate. Beyond any ques- tion, the offense against the corrupt practices act, herein disclosed, was a most deliberate, serious, and ma terial infraction of the law"
 The case has been appealed to the Minnesota supreme court. If the Rev. Mir. Qvale wins. and is elected, the Seventh district of Min nesota will have new congress mar, whose career is sketched brief ly as follows:
 Mir. Qvale, who is 5l years of age, is the son of a farmer. He was born on a farm near Decorah, Iowa, received an elementary educa- tion in a rural school, entered Lu- ther college at Decorah, was gradu- ated in 1890, and completed his training for the ministry at Luther seminary in 1893. Later he took postgraduate work at the Universi- ty of Chicago.
 For 23 years he served a congre gation at Orfordville. Wis In 1917 he was called to his present charge Tn 6enSOn lie IS serving on tnS board of the Norwegian Lutheran church of America.
 The Rev. Mir. Qvale has seven children, three of them young men. Two sons served through the world war. The other was rejected for physical disability.
 That is the kind of man who is charged with violating the corrupt practices act at primary election; in other words. stopping to corrup- tion in order to win a seat in Con- gress.
