POLKOW'S NAME OMITTED.

Through an oversight and wholly
unintentional on our part, the name
of Herman Polkow, chairman of the
board of county commissioners and
candidate for reelection in the Fifth
Commissioner District, his name was
omitted from the list of candidates
published in last weeks issue of the
Review. AS an evidence of the high
esteem in which Mr. Polkow is held
by his colleagues throuout Minnesota,
it can be stated that he was reelected
as president of the State Association of
County Commissioners at the annual
meeting recently held in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Polkow also attended the annual
convention of the Conference of Social
Workers, formerly the State Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections,
which took place at the same time.

DR.. R. C. MAYER BURNED
& OUT AT CRESBARD IS. D.
Fire Destroys Entire Business
Block and Causes Loss Estimat-
ed at $118,000.

Rev. G. Mayer of the Ev. Friendens
church here is in receipt of letter
from his son, Dr.. R. G. Mayer, of
Cresbard, S. D., giving details Of a
destructive fire which consumed an
entire, business block in that village,
including the building in which Dr..
Mayer had his Office and residence.
The. confagration occurred Saturday,
October 8, and started in hotel room
shortly after 6 o'clock in the morning.
The loss occasioned by the fire is
estimated at about $118,S00, includ-
ing buildings and their contents:
Scores of farmers hurried to town
and assisted in salvaging the contents
OF most of the buildings, so that the
greater part of the loss is confined to
the structures. DR.. Mayer, with the
assistance of friends, succeeded in
saving all of his office equipment and
most of the household goods. His
loss, covered by insurance, amounts to
some $500, however, including several
tons of coal that could not be removed
to safety.
Among the buildings that were de
stroyed was the hotel, barber shop
two two-story fats, g tWo-story
restaurant and rooming house, a two
story building containg harness
hardware and furniture business, the
building occupied by DR.. Mayer, q
pool hall, the post Office and lumber
yards located in the rear of the de-
stroyed business block. The fire
lasted about two and one-half hours
and caused great deal of excitement
There was no loss of human life, al
though some of the hotel guests were
temporarily imperiled.

The Minnesota Campaign.

Doctor Henrik Shipstead, Independ-
ent candidate for governor Of Mime
sofa indorsed by organized farmers
and workers, has challenged his oppo-
nent to debate the issues. Candidate
Preus is not expected to accept and the
reason why he can not stand up with
Shipstead and discuss the campaign
ought to be clear to everyone. II the
bashful steel trust man could be
dragged into an open meeting the de-
bate would run about as follows:
Shisptead: "The farmers of Min
nesota have lost over $50,000,O0O this
fall by reason of unwarranted declines
in the prices of their produce. We
must take the power to do these things
away from the market gamblers"
Preus: "Conditions are very bad
in Russia
Shipstead: Labor wants state
administered workmen's cOmpensa-
ton law so that wives and children will
be protected from insurance sharpers
when the breadwinner is injured or
killed."
Preus: "Conditions are very bad
in Russia"
Shipstead: "The farmer in this
state is paying two and one-half times
as much taxes as the steel trust. A
taxation entirely. We propose tax
on the net profit on each ton OF ore
mined, leaving the present tax as it
is"
Shipstead: because lumber cor
porations and iron ore corporations,
with the aid of the corrupt political
ring, still in power in this state, robbed
our school funds of at least one billion
dollars, large number of our children
now have only part-time schools and
none have the educational advantages
they might otherwise have.'
Preus: "Conditions are very bad
in Russia"
Shipstead: MANY thousands of
poor families in our cities and towns
have no decent homes to live in and all
the others who are too poor to own a
home are gouged by the rent profiteers.
We can hit this great menace to our
homes and families by public building
associations similar to the splendid act
under which homes are being built at
cost in North Dakota
Preus: "Conditions are very bad in
Russia"
Shisptead: 'Four Of the well-known
labor leaders of the state are in jail in
an effort to prevent the corporations
from destroying organized labor by
means of illegal court injunctions
Legislators should make he laws anc
the people should elect judges who
will stick to the law"
Preus: "Conditions are very bad ir
Russia"
Shipstead: eve common people
can end the outrageous injustice now
being dealt out by the profteers by
organizing for political action ane
driving their servants out Of the state
government"

ASKS LEAVE TO QUIT

Guy Mason Informs Presi-

Guy Mason. member of the District

his duties as member of the COM
| mission. No action has been taken
| on the request and Mr.. Mason still is
| a member of the. rent commission.
although he anticipates that his re-
| quest will be granted and he will be
| permitted to resign.
Commissioner Mason today stated
that his action in presenting the re
quest to the President was due solely
| to pressure of private business. no
other reasons existing for the re-
quest to be relieved
| Other Duties Interfere.
| For several days Commissioner
| Mason has not sat with the other
members of the rent commission,
being occupied with the trial Of an
important court-martial case. On
which Commissioner Mason was con-
cerned as counsel have required him
| to be absent from hearings of the rent
commission.
Commissioners Statement,
Commissioner Mason today said:
ANY announcement in this matter
should come from the White House.
1t is true that the pressure of pri-
vate business is such as to make it
impossible for me to devote the neces-
sary time to rent commission buSi-
ness. The cases filed with the rent
commission now number well over
500. with more cases being filed every
day. My private law practice requires
much time and attention. and under
existing conditions there is not
enough time to take care of both. My
private practice is suffering and un-
der the circumstances 1 have thought
1t better to ask the President to re-
lieve me of my rent commission du-
ties and to appoint some one else in
my place. But any announcement
must come from the White House.
For the present, at least. 1 am still
member of the rent commission"
Neither Chairman Oyster nor Com
missioner Sinclair would discuss the
pending resignation of Commissioner
Mason today. The commission held
no hearing today, nor is one sched-
uled for tomorrow. The Monmouth
apartment hotel case is to be re-
sumed Monday.
