THE PRICE DECLINES

The news dispatches for the past
few days are carrying reports of rap
idly falling markets on livestock and
other farm products, which is bring
ing encouragement to producers.
The man who has toiled early and
late under adverse conditions, who
has paid exorbitant prices for seed
labor and materials. now finds him
self with crops, or livestock on hand
which II sold would mean an absolute
monetary loss to say nothing of his
own time and labor wasted. H
When confronted by these condi
tions he is naturally inclined to feel
that he has been subject to an injus
tice, and that conditions have been
brought about wilfully for the pur
pose of robbing him of the fruits OF
his toll.
The facts are that while these ad
verse conditions affect the farmer
first, as the producer, of the raw ma
terials, he is not alone. in having to
face conditions which mean decid
E ed financial loss. Other lines of bust
ness. almost without exception. have
serious problems confronting them
and instances are few, where specu
lators are able to profit by these loss
es. A period of enormous waste and
initiation is to be followed by one OF
readiustment, and price lowering, and
was as sure to come as that night will
follow the day.
The problem for both farmers and
business men. is to minimize the af
feet OF these changed conditions as
much as possible. and to lay aside
selfish interests in the effort to pre-
vent anything approaching panicky
conditions.
The blow cannot be avoided hut II
can be made less disastrous by intel
ligent and concerted effort. Nothing

see by your editorial entitled "The

should now make an effort to get a
fair and just representation In regard
to matters of legislation.
1t seems to me that that time is
past. The farmers did make an intel
ligent effort to do just that before
election, and then the editor OF the
Herald said their program was Wis
ionary and Impractical.
The election returns for this county
at least showed that majority OF .1Ss
farmers voted to try those visionary

to the Denver Post and the State Her

Backed by working committee
of one hundred, representative of
every county and city of import
ance in the state, the campaign
for the nomination of the six can
didates endorsed at the late Re-
publican elimination convention
was formerly launched last week.
Campaign headquarters have been
opened in both st. Paul and Min
neapolis and a competent working
crew placed in charge of each.
Fred A. Hadley of the Winnebago
Enterprise is in charge of the pub
licity. The ticket: j. A. ..
Preus for governor; Louis l.
Collins for lieutenant governor;
Mike Holm for secretary of state;
Henry Rines for treasurer; Cliff

BILE for justice of the supreme
court is to be fairly burned into
the minds of the voters of the
state. Short and snappv is the
working cry and the slogan,
down with Socialism, is to be
carried into every precinct in the
state. This in brief is the Repub'
lican campaign program to date
and it will be supplemented with
additional activities as the days
progress. That the task confront

without saying as the ticket, which

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE

Filings for state Offices this year
are the heaviest in the history of
the state primary law and the
scramble has started a renewed
effort looking to needed primary
law reforms. The Twin City pa
pers are especially hot under the
collar because of what they call an
unseemly scramble for Office. The
Republican platform adopted at
the recent state elimination con
vention calls for reforms in the
law. That the next legislature
will provide for any marked
changes in the act is extremely
doubtful and those conversant
with the workings of such bodies
are not losing any sleep over any
violent attempt demanding.reform.
That the law is about the worst
abortion ever perpetuated upon
the body polite goes without say
ing, but the trouble is that those
now so loud in their demand for a
change figured in It's intliclion,
and the Twin City press was the
most active of the bunch. "A
trifle rough III spots, but a monu
ment to the wisdom and foresight
of the Minnesota legislature"
reads one Twin City editorial
commentator of the period in
which the law was passed and the
others while Lot so fulsome are in
measure praise worthy. Now they
call it = misft. Selfish interests
put the state primary law on the
statute books and selfish interests
are going to keep it there for a
period, at least Minnesota worried
along for about forty years with
out state wide primary law and
it progressed. 1t has to be admit
ted that present political conditions
in the state are not of the best
because of the primary law.

ELECTS DELEGATES.
CREDIBLE DELEGATION WILL REPRE-
SENT WHITE EARTH RESERVATION
At MEETING OF GENERAL COUNCIL
IN REMIDJ|.

Pursuant to~call of the Chair
man, Mr.. Henry Selkirk, and in
accord with the constitution and
bylaws of the General Council,
Minnesota Chippewas, the White
Earth Local Council met in the
Assembly Hall of the former
boarding school at 1880 A. M,

pose of electing delegates to repre-
sent the White Earth Reservation
at the annual meeting OF the Gen
eral Council which will convene at
Bemidji, MIMI, on July 18th,
next. Notwithstanding that the
continuous rain of three days
previous had made the roads al
most impossible, large delegations
we're IN evidence from every town
and hamlet on the reservation,
and the result was one Of the best
representative councils that was
ever held at White Earth,
which no doubt was due to the
ample notices which were sent to
every postofice on the reservation,
and also to the efforts made by
representatives of the Council
to impress upon White Earth res
ervation residents the Importance
of this meeting by visiting the
different localities personally.
The council adjourned at 400,
P. NJ. after electing the following
delegates to represent the White
Earth reservation at the meeting
of the General Council:
