KVALE LOSES HARD
= WON NOMINATION
Supreme Court Sides With Judge
Johnson. Kyale Petitions
Are Out

The State Supreme Court upheld
that part of the decision of District
Judge Albert Johnson which disquali-
fed Rev. O. j. Kvale for the nomina-
tion for Congress given him by the
district in the primary election last
June. The august Court decided,
however, that the lower court was a
Erlittle previous in taking upon itself
the duty of filling the vacancy and
thus left that duty to the District
Committee. Petitions are being cir
culated to place Rev. Kvale's name on
the ballot as an independent candidate
The people of the district are deter
mined to elect Rev. Kvale to Congress
if it has to be done with stickers.
These decisions by the courts dis
franchising seventeen thousand voters
| on the pretext so fiimsy that it excites
the contempt of the general run of
people, is serious matter in-as-much
as it tends to lessen the respect of
( the people for the courts and the laws
which they are supposed to interpret.
EThe question of Volstead's religious
beliefs was not an issue in the cam
.paign. No one gave it any attention
Fsuntil after the election when it was
I dug up and used as pretext to
thwart the will of the people. Yet the
press thruout the country, owing to
the court proceedings. are discussing
the campaign as having been fought
on this issue.
Is there a single voter in the Dis
trict who is willing to swear that he
changed his vote from Volstead to
kvale because of the latter's negative
reference to reports he had heard Of
Volstead's stand of religion, in one of
his circulars? We do not believe that
there is.
The court of highest appeal in this
matter, however, will be the people
themselves and they will give their
decision of what they think about it
at the election, Nov. 2.

SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT
CELEBRATING LABOR DAY

The Republican Gazette would not
think OF suggesting to the members of
labor unions how they should arrange
the details of Labor Day celebrations
ta4sd this comment has no connection
with anything of that nature. In Will
mar Monday there was a fine crowd, a
fine parade, fine program of entertain
ment.
With this for a background, it is un-
fortunate that the set program of spec
ches was so manipulated as to make it
political propaganda appeal for votes
for certain candidates for public office
To discuss the problems of labor,
even as they relate to political activ-
tiles, might not be out of place. But
to make the day and the occasion one
for partisan political appeal, a seek
ing after votes for certain individual
candidates, was highly inappropriate,
! an imposition upon organized labor,
| a use of the day for the gaining of
private ends and -Withal an Injustice
to the spirit of the occasion and to
those in recognition of whom the day
has been made legal holiday.
The Republican Gazette ventures the
opinion that not a few members of the
labor unions feel about this just as this
newspaper does.-Willmar Republican
| Gazette.
Organized labor at Willmar thru
their representatives planned the eel
ebratiOn and selected the speakers
Judging from the enthusiasm shown
and the manner in which the crowd
stood around the speakers stand fol
hours and waited out into the night
to hear more of it, their choice O.
speakers and the kind of speakins
done was ratified both by organized
labor and the public generally in {
way that has no parallel at any loca
celebration heretofore held in the ci
ty.
The Gazette's wall comes with bat
grace in view of the fact that man,
of the speakers selected by reaction
ary elements during the past thre,
years to speak on public occasions a

: 1t is further interesting to note tha
: the Gazette's conception of partisa

DISTANT VIEW OF WHITE
CROSSES LOOKS LIKE SNOW
American Cemetery In France
Makes Deep Impression on
Visitors

Willmar relatives have received
word from Coblenz, Germany. that
Mrs. Mary Landing and daughter,
Lajla, will start for their home in this
country on Sept: II. In letter from
Mrs. Olive Wayne, wife of Capt. VIM.
Wayne, now in Germany in the U. S.
service, as dentist, she speaks of Wis
iting an American soldiers cemetery,
where her brother Victor sleeps. "Can
you realize that we have over twen-
ty-one thousand of our boys buried in
that one cemetery alone. The largest
of course, the Argonne cemetery. 1t
is one of the most beautiful spots you
can imagine-immaculately kept up
and situated on a great rolling green
hill, with the American Flag floating
over it from great flagstaff in the
center. 1t is hard to imagine twenty
one thousand white crosses. Every
morning when I'd wake up and look
out over the road to that hill, it just
looked like snow all over the ground.
If people at home could see it, they
wouldn't ask for the bodies of their
boys, to be brought back home. / feel
sure. There is something so impress
sive about it."
