MIN'llNEsoTA's PEOPLE TO
VICTORY AT POLLS.
It. was a hard blow to the progressive
people OF Minnesota this June, when
the steel trust gang was able to defeat
the peoples candidates, thru poison
gas attack Of lies and misrepresenta
ton. Altho our leaders did not reach
their objective in the first battle, they
did not give up. DR.. Henrik Ship
stead's statement, when he learned
that he had been defeated by a few
thousand votes in the June primaries,
was: 7 would rather go down to
defeat with the people Of Minnesota
than march to victory with the Kaisers
OF the steel trust. !" His message echoed
and fe-echoed thru Minnesota, until
the people decided to muster l1p their
forces again for life and death strug-
gle. On Monday of last week, DR..
Shipstead, Captain Mallon and
Thomas Sullivan filed as independent
candidates for the November election.
Propoganda of SANDER.
DR.. Shipstead made the following
statement on filing last M onday: The
battle is on again. The steel trust
beat us in the primary skirmish by the
use Of large quantities of poison gas.
Their American Committee, Citizens
Alliance and Sound Government AS
sociation carried on alscurrilous a pro-
paganda Of slander, the like Of which
IS doubt has ever been equalled in any
ampaign at any time III the United
States. The air Of Minnesota was
polluted with their foul breath. The
winds of time, however, are clearing
the atmosphere. The people can fight
better and now can see the whites Of
their enemies eyes.
We expect to make this fight so hot
that the iron heel Of the steel trust,
now on the necks Of the people, will
be melted and made into steel pens
with which the people Of Minnesota
can write a new Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. = a
Fighting for Democracy.
Captain George Mallon is one OF
Pershing's heroes, award Of the Con
gressional medal of honor and various
allied decorations. In the Liberty
Loan drive last spring he was adj
vertised as one of Americas I'M
mortals.' His statement at filing lis
as follows: q am in this fight to the
finish. AfterTeturning from the battle
scared fields Of Europe realized
that in every conflict, Of nations,
liberty and democracy were set aside
ton the grounds that it was necessary
to raise armies to win battles. MY
experience in War-torn Europe con
vinced me that the peaceful method OF
restoring liberty and democracy BY
s1sf
the ballot was far superior to armed
conflict. Ny friends and fellow work
ers, wishing to show me considera-
ton and as a mark esof appreciation fo1
the small part 8 played in the world
conflict as I and they thought, fol
world democracy, and wishing me to
help them to finish this honorable
work, selected me as one of their
standard bearers.
Knowing that the fight must be
carried on, accepted realizing the
abuse that would be heaped upon any
one daring to come out on the side
Of the common people, by the very
ones who were claiming during the
war to have a complete corner on loo
per cent patrio tis1n the same as they
actually have upon the nations re-
sources, he continued. tT,his all
came true at the recent primary. One
defeat does not mean d lost cause.
$50 when these 1nenasked me to stand
with them to the finish, again ac-
cepted and although the fight may
have only begun, / intend to remain
in it to- the finish.
81 wish at this time to thank my
friends for the great comp pliment paid
me at the primaries by a large vote
and again assure them that their cause
shall always be my cause.
