week. Plans for the meeting had evil

used that slogan to keep their places on

seemingly staged for no other purpose

Democratic members of the associa-

have practically ignored the associa

association affairs but took charge of

of the political gang they are backing

BOOT HIM OUT!
The Minnesota Editorial Association
at it's annual meeting in Minneapolis
last week, adopted a set of resolutions
which ring true to Americanism. One
Of the resolutions pledges support Of the
American Legion, and another calls upon
the regents Of the Minnesota State Uni
versity to investigate the charge that
socialist doctrine is being taught in
some of the departments of that insti-
tuition. If it be true, as charged, that
a certain professor of the State Univer-
sity is seeking to nculcate in the minds
of students the dangerous doctrine of
socialism and bolshevism it is time that
the public awaken to the danser of this
practice and demand his removal j. r.
