Mr.. Butler may be a popular

Federal Agents Make
Raids Around St. Cloud
Stills, Moonshine and Other Evidence
Seized in 80 Minute Cleanup
Last Week.

Eight federal agents under orders
of H. F. Price, prohibition enforce
ment officer, with headquarters in
Minneapolis, carried out IL raids by
automobile in and around St. Cloud
Friday night in the quickest "clean-
up" they have accomplished in the
state.
In 80 minutes they visited II
places, seized two stills, seven barrels
of mash, 60 gallons of whiskey and
other evidence. and ordered three
men to appear before federal author
tiles for examination.
The two stills were found at the
residence of Henry Maus, Pearl Lake,
St. Cloud, the agents said, reporting
one of them was in full operation.
Mash, whiskey, 80 boxes of raisens
and eight gallons of wine were con-
fscated. Maus was told to appear be-
fore the United States commissioner
at Little Falls Monday.
Another place raided was the store
of Robert Prefer, st. Cloud, where
the officers said a quantity Of moon
shine was found. A crowd gathered
and one man 'sgot fresh" the agents
said. His face was resoundingly
slapped by one Of the raiders. The
crowd dispersed. Prefer will have
to make an accounting to the group
enforcement chief here.
Agents next entered the place of
Theodore Krafte, st. Cloud. A pitch
er suddenly was overturned. While
the raid was going, all men in the
place were lined up. A railway brake
man entered, saw the lineup and de-

SHOWING EN- UP

The talk in behalf of Americanism
and the photo play produced at the
Caughren Theatre last Saturday eve
ming in which the true character Of
the man Townley and his Socialist
and /. w. w. followers was revealed
should have been a severe lesson to
to the honest farmer who is subject
to the wiles of the wiley leaders OF
the Non-Partisan League.
That Townley himself is SOCIAL
list of the most radical type, has al
ready been proven and goes without
saying. That he has surrounded
himself with cred" associates is
another accertained fact and the only
question now remaining is to how
much longer Townley and his gang
.sters will be permitted to contami-
nate American politics.
Farmers in Minnesota who are
members of the League, are gradu-
ally awakening to this situation. OBJ
servance of the fate Of North Dako-
to has taught them a lesson and al
ready, many of them are breaking
away from the fold and returning
to American principles Of doing bust
ess. The Minnesota farmer is in
aevery respect, a true American. He
is not a socialist, but unbeknown to
himself and unsanctioned by HIM
self, he has been drawn into the most
diabolical scheme ever Matched by
the radical brain Of pretender.
{ Wake up, Mr.. Farmer member OF
the NonPartisan League! Consider
the. costs to yourself and to your
.Americanism. Organize good farmer
organizations if you choose, but re-
main your master. Control your
own welfare and do not permit your
self to become the dupe of a schem-
ing gang of radical socialists whose
only consideration of the farmer is
the amount Of financial support they
ca receive to turn this government
over to the soviet forces of a foreign
land.
Remember that the movie shown

81. PAUL In TOLLS

st. Paul is on the verge of big
strike. If the plans of the strikers
carry out, that city will be in the
grasp of the unemployed as long
after May list as law and order will
permit.
That the strikes in the nation today
are the result of "Red" propaganda,
is an understood fact. For this
reason, the state should use no minor
means of handling the situation.
This strike has not the sanction Of
the loyal labor heads-it is the OUT
growth of the seeds of hate planted
by the radical socialists and the !.
w. w., in the, nation.
The open shop is one Of the ques-
tions now under consideration among
labor heads in the Capital City.
