SELF-CONTRADICTIONS
IN THIS CAMPAIGN
Farmer Writes Strong Appeal To
Voters to Use Their Intel
-. 1:~

Judges, jurors, and every person con-
sidered of sound mind and supposed to
obey the laws of sound reasoning al
ways ignore self -contra adicting testi-
monies.
Never have I witnessed more plain
self-contradictions than that which is
done right along by the supporters of
Volstead for his being dry" and that
for supporting Preus his speaking for
cooperation and yet not being So
cialist.
Let us look at the DRY Volstead"
thinkers and takers thru the glasses
of logical reasoning.
The same who advocates so strongly
to send Volstead back to Congress be-
cause he is. dry are campaigning for
Harding and Harding is an absolute
Wet" 1 ask you who talk that way,
think that way. campaign that way, are
you sincere, are you honest about your
contention for the dry cause when on
one hand you strive to build up for the
dry cause and on the other hand by sup
tended good work? If you are honest
stead because he is dry then you must
along the line u and 1 Vote for % watkins. If #
you do not do so you will be false in
your attaching any shade of dryness
to Volstead
Do not be fooled fellow voter: The
dry question is an issue only, in the
Seventh District of Minnesota to cover
up the real issue of the whole country
which is profteering. And mark you,
| according to his own testimony on the
| witness stand in Benson July ~, 1920.
The same lack of logical reasoning is
found in the campaign and among the
supporters Of Preus and by the candi-
talk for expansion of cooperative in
dustries.
Now cooperative industries. stores
| creameries. elevators. revert their net
profits to the people thus preventing
| a few to pocket the entire gains. Now
| state or government owned industries
revert the net profits to the people and
the Preus crowd and press brand these
| cooperative institutions which Preus
! advocates Socialistic, when, like state
owned enterprises. their profits revert
back to the people?
Think of this Voter. Either Preus il
operatives or he is doing it to catcl
your vote. Hold fast to Shipstead Nal
lon. Sullivan and Kvale for Congress
ground you are standing as these mer
have endorsed these principles from
the, beginning of this campaign. Preu,
and Volstead are trying to get in on
part Of our splendid platform in tn,
