The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-11-18

This in a sense, is matter of little
Importance, but it goes longs ways
in expressing to the public the utter
bitterness of Mr.. Wilson toward the
president-elect, and the attitude with
which President views the wishes of
the people in their colossal defeat Of
his principles and administration.
From the first, Mr.. Wilson has
adopted plane of haughtiness in his
dealings with the people. He has
ignored their every wish and has
practically abolished the usefulness
of his cabinet.
At no time, however, in the his
tory Of his administration has the
president expressed to the public
so clearly his purpose to ignore the
desires of his constituents as he did
in failing to express even desire
to maintain citizenship under man
chosen to succeed him and straighten
out the tangle in which he will leave
the affairs of national welfare.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-11-18
STATE APPOINTMENT

Gov. Elect Preus will no doubt re-
,ceive an abundance of advice as to
whom he should appoint for the vari-
Gus positions he has at his command.
The Herald is perfectly willing to
leave the matter of appointments to
the good judgement of the Governor
elect.
The Herald would like, however, to
make a little suggestion in one parti-
cular as who he ought not to appoint.
We refer to, one Gustaf Lindquist
former private secretary under Gov.
Burnquist and now rafting around
in the position of insurance commits
sioner.
During the past two weeks the
Herald editor has met up with a
goodly number of the representative
republican editors of the state, and
without exception they desire to have
every possible vestige of the admin
istration of Gov. Burnquist removed
as quickly as possible. Should Mr..
Preus be inauguarted into office
about 1880 on Jan. 3, 1921, it is hoped
that by 1881 he will have named the
successor to Lindquist, who as chair
man of the Republican state central
committee was as offensive to the
real Republicans of the state as is 9
red flag to bull.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-11-18
THE PROSPECTIVE CABINET

Just at this time every newspaper
in the country is specializing upon
the Cabinet which will be chosen by
President-Elect Harding to share
with him the responsibility of his adj
ministration.
Hardly had the results of the cleo
ton become known when such names
as Root, Knox, Hoover, Wood and
Roosevelt began to appear in print
connected with the various portfolios
of office.
It is generally hoped that Elihu
Root will be the next secretary OF
State, and in fact, it would be hard
for President Harding to find a bet
ter type in the nation for this parti-
cular job. It there is one man in
America familiar with the interna-
tional situation it is Elihu Root.
Both General Wood and General
Pershing have been mentioned as
probable timber for the office of
Secretary of War. Which will be the
choice of the administration is a
question but General Wood seems to
be the logical candidate. General
Pershing is already head of the uni
formed forces of the nation. Wood
as Governor of the PHILIPPINES proved
his ability as a statesman. Pershing
is a soldier. With his qualifications
as both a soldier and statesman,
Wood is undoubtedly the popular
choice of the people.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. has been
referred to as a prospective assist
ant of the navy, but Teddy Jr., has
expressed a leaning to the portfolio
of Commerce and Labor. He is en-
tirely familiar with the labor situa-
ton ana would make and excellent
officer.
Herbert Hoover will probably be
picked for one of the cabinet offices
as will Knox. The choice of this
important body is one in which the
nation is interested but it is a safe
estimate that the Cabinet of Presi-
dent Harding will be an official body
of the nation and not an organization
of figure heads such as the nation has
had to coup with during the last
years of one man administration.

LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS

Sank Centre must solve the pro-
blem of improvements which are OF
vital Importance to thefwelfare OF
this commonwealth.
Just at the present time the city
water and light commission are
graphing with plan to improve the
water situation here and to give Sank
Centre that great and beautiful asset
"White Way"
That both of these issues will be
acceptable to the public, goes with
out saying. There will, of course be
some opposition to the plan, but the
needs of the city along these lines
are too well known to need serious
argument.
Then too, there is another matter
which should be given serious con-
sideration, and that is the paving OF
the city's principal streets.
This paving issue is one which has
never as yet been approached OIL
cially, but it is being given serious
consideration just at this time. There
is little doubt as to the attitude OF
the present city administration on
this subject. Mayor Ingram has
stated that he was heartily in favor
of the issue.
Of course, all Of these proposed. i'm
will call for. a necessary
bonding of the city, but when the
results of such action are considered,
the question is minor one. Any
effort to improve municipality is
an express we'll worth the trouble.
Sank Centre is greatly in need OF
water and light facilities:
Sank Centre, needs paved streets and
this issue is one which should meet
with the approval of every person
who has the welfare of this commun-
ity at heart.

Caught on the Wing

Copenhagen is all set for another
Thrill. A telegram has been re-
ceived from Captain Amundson, Ar
tic explorer, and the Denmark CAPT
tai is making big preparations to re-
ceive it's third "Discoverer Of the
North Pole"
Although the 1. w. w. made a
written threat to repeat the Centralia
outrage in Columbus on Armistice
Day, we noticed that the boys parad-
ed without disturbance.
The Wall Street death blast has
now been LAID to Labor" Of course
the blame had to be put somewhere
to protect the good name of the
Tammany police force.
Americas Armistice Day celebra-
ton was somewhat "dry" affair
as compared with what Tommie At
kins and friend Polli did in their re-
spective territories last Thursday.
Those St. Cloud boys who Joined
the army to dodge cold winter in
cole Virginne" have got surprise
or two coming if we remember right
ly.

AMEND OR REPEAL THE PRIM-
AIRY ELECTION LAW

Minnesota was one of the leaders
in the reformation of election laws.
In fact no state has strayed SO far
away from sanity in this respect as
has the North Star State.
Under the convention system if the
so-called party bosses ruled the eau
cuses and conventions the fault was
with Mr.. Average Citizen and voter
in failing to attend the precinct,
county and state gatherings and as
sisting in formulating the principles
of his party
Minnesota was among the first to
nominate her candidates for county
and legislative offices directly. With
the passage of the primary election
law the Minnesota Legislature as a
whole began to deterioate in abil-
ity. The records of the state will
show that there was more construc-
tive legislation enacted by the Min
nesota lawmakers prior to the en-
actment of the primary election law
than there has been since. In the old
days every unit in convention enun-
ciated party principles and the can
didates nominated at those conven-
tions stood on the platform enunci
ated.
With the coming of the primary
election law any man with $40 could
foist himself as a candidate. The re-
suit has been multiplicity of candi-
dates for all of the various offices.
When Mr.. Average Voter entered the
election booth he was usually cropping
in the dark to select the least of the
evils. The deterioration of the legis-
lative personnel has been inevitable.
In the session of 1913 another
spasm of reform spread over the leg
islature and bill passed the house
placing county officials on the ticket
without party designation. When
the measure reached the senate, for
the purpose Of killing it, an amend
ment was tackled onto the house
bill making the legislature nom
partisan. 1t was expected that this
would kill the bill, but to the sur
prise of the senate, who were too
cowardly to kill the bill outright, the
house repassed the measure as
amended.
Notwithstanding that the Re-
publican elimination convention plat
form included tonnage tax
plank, and Mr.. Preus was elected
governor on that platform, there is
no party responsibility in the legis-
lature guaranteeing that this or any
other measure desired by the peo-
pie as whole will be enacted into
law. There is no party responsible
ity. $3.50
