McMillen League Of Nations
and Askov American:
A fine thing this to have a

reasonable good copy Of Senator
Lodges speeches in the U. S.
Senate as recorded in the Con-

wondering what are the several
good points the Askov American
finds in it? Please let US know or
point out some of these good
points so we might have the
benefit Of this article. I am not
able myself to see them | will adj
NIT.
Lodge has declared that the
war would be a failure unless it
produced a League Of Nations
but when such a League was pre-
sented by a Democratic presi-
dent he would have nothing to
do with it.
Lodge has declared that the
president was the sole agent of
the nation in making treaties.
but when a Democratic president
made a treaty he declared that
the Senate was an equal partner
in making it.
In the Forum magazine for De-
cember. 1918 Lodge wrote, I'VE
can not make peace except in
company with our Allies. 1t
would brand us with everlasting
dishonor. This is the same Lodge
who shouted the treaty is dead
and who offered a resolution in
the Senate to make separate

ever, despite n bad handicap in
the shape of a fool book on the
war and some anti-Catholic ac-
tivities while in Congress he
finished with n trifle over $50. 600
votes to his credit. Gov. Burn

Republican nomination trotted
under the wire with a credit of
nearly 100000 votes. One of the
chief features Of the League end
Of the political game to date has
been the absence Of gossip con-
corning those who will represent
it in the next scramble for pub

it controls sixty or more scatter

usually silent regarding candi-
dates and this even extends to
those who control it's internal af-

to Oscar Keller Of st. Paul. who
succeeded the late Congressman
Van Dyke. but Keller. it is under
stood. would prefer to remain
a congressman. Mayor Vic Power
of Hibbing is another who. it is
said. has many League admirers.
but from all accounts. he too. is
not anxious to make the race

probably is responsible for the
Lindbergh rumor. though it has
some authoritative backing in the
statement of friends that Lind

ripple this time. 1t is known
that Lindbergh is very close to
Townley and that he enjoys the

circle. A point made by one
Lacquer is that the Democrats
will not participate in the Re-
publican primaries to any great
extent this time and that the
League candidate will also have
the benefit Of a big Republican
Gubernatorial field.
One Of the bothersome things
Of the coming state campaign is
the question of tonnage tax.
This concerns the gubernatorial
candidates only and because of
the announced stand of some
candidates not to mention the
Nonpartisan League, the situa-
ton is more or less embarras-
sing. Tom Frankson. it is known,
is for the tax and 80 is Franklin
Ellsworth, while whoever repre-
sents the Nonpartisan League
cannot be otherwise. but where
accepted Republican candidates
like julius A. Schmahl and Mike
Bowling stand is not known.
Without prejudice to either, a
fairly safe guess would be that
they are against the form of ton
mage tax so far attempted. Lead
ing Democrats. it is reported, are
adverse to meddling with the
controversy. Northern Minneso-
Ia perhaps was never more
awake to the need of action than
it is now and it can be said with
out fear of contradiction that the
territory controlled by it will be
a factor in the next campaign.
When completed the Minnesota
Fair Tax Association will include
every voter in the North country.
This does not necessarily mean
a divided state with tonnage tax
as the issue, for if the truth must
he told, Southern Minnesota is
less disturbed regarding the tax
than the North. As to the public
prints. only few have planted
the issue at their mast head.
Whatever way one may view it,
however. tonnage tax is a trouble
maker in a political way and the
movement to organize the en-
tire Northern section Of the
state against it's infliction is GO
ing to keep the question we'll to
the front. The Southern sec
ton Of the state will even be in
vaded and it too has its ants and
they are not so few. Many poll
tically wise, say forget it.
Leaders Of the Nonpart,san
League at a recent meeting in st.
Paul arranged the organization
bylaws so as to permit county
League units with authority to
enter local and district political
contests. Such county organiza-
tons are to he provided with a
campaign fund in the shape of
81 deducted from each $18
League membership collected
within the county. This is taken
to mean that Townley intends to
make an aggressive campaign
for the capture of as many coun-
ty Offices as possible. At the
present time one or two counties
among them, Douglas is officially
dominated by the Dakota idea.
This was made possible by the
Nonpartisan law which applies
to such Offices.
