WOODROW WILSON SPEAKS.

"The chief question that is put to
you is, of course, this: Do you want
your country's honor indicated and
the treaty of Versailles ratified? Do
you in particular approve of the league
Of nations as organized and empow-
cred in that treaty? And do you wish
to see the United States play it's re-
sponsible part in it? You have been
grossly misled with regard to the
treaty, and particularly with regard
to the proposed character of the league
of nations, by those who have assumed
the serious responsibility of opposing
it. They have gone so far that those
who have spent their lives, as have
spent my life, in familiarizing them
selves with the history and traditions
and policies of the nation, must stand
amazed at the gross ignorance and
impudent audacity which has led them
to attempt to invent an tAmericanism'
of their own which has no foundation
whatever in any of the authentic ira
ditions of the government"
/ 1t would not be necessary for Wood
row Wilson to sign his name to the
above statement. There is but one
man in the country who presumes to
speak in such tone to the American
people Now, Mr.. Wilson, the states
men in this country always have exer-
cised the privilege Of discussing ma
tional and international problems and
they probably will continue to do so.
When you stand amazed at the gross
Ignorance of such men as Senator
Lodge, Senator Kellogg and a host of
other statesmen honored throughout
this country for their intellectual at
tainments, how must the ordinary man
on the street effect you? If you do
not like our democratic habit of dis
cussing public questions and defin-
ing our Americanism you had better
move on, Woodrow.

Harvey's Weekly: In advocating
the maintenance of the protective
tariff system Senator Harding is care
full, as he should be, to make it clear
that such tariff is to be devised and
levied not for the special benefit of
any group or class, but for safeguard
ing and balancing the interest of all
the nation. Therefore, in considering
protection for agriculture, which he
earnestly favors, we must have con-
Germ not alone for the American far
mer but also for the American manu-
facturer and for the American con-
sumner.

Governor Cox gave Burleson and
Palmer little rub the other day
when he said in one of his speeches
that he did not approve Of matters
in their administration, which literally
means that he is opposed to the way in
which they are performing the duties
incumbent upon the offices which they
hold. In this Mr.. Cox is in accord
with the majority of the people of the
United States and he is fully cognizant
Of this fact. If Mr.. Cox continues
along lines which he is now pursuing
he is liable to wind up his campaign
with reputation Of the entire demo.
cratic administration.

THE CANDIDATE FOR FARMERS.

THE CANDIDATE FOR FARMERS.
The republican nominee for COVER
nor, j. A. o. Preus, has made his
keynote speech and that speech has
some punch. Mr.. Preus knows he is
fighting the nonpartisan league in this
campaign and he has come right out
in the open and grappled with the i'm
portant problems. He has no quarrel
with the farmers who are nonpar-
tisans. The vast majority joined that
league with the expectation of OBJ
tanning improved marketing facilities
through this organization. Every
thinking person must realize that the
farmers have good reason to desire a
change in the marketing conditions.
Mr.. Preus has studied the situation
carefully. He recognizes the prob
lens and in a business-like manner
discusses them and shows how they
may be solved. He> examines these
questions in the clear light Of good
sound reason and does not drag in any
emotional appeal or bcrate any class
or group of men. Read his address; his
remarks will stand the most careful
perusal. Is he not correct? Do the
farmers want socialism, state owner
ship of the various enterprises with
which they are intimately connected,
or do they want to handle these enter
prises through their cooperative or
CARNATIONS
Considerable is said about Mr.
Preus' stand on the tonnage tax He
frankly stated his views on this issue
While personally he did not think it
advisable to levy this tax, he prom
ised not to veto tonnage tax bill
passed by the legislature. Mr. Preus
has taken this position because the
majority of republicans in Minnesota
favored a tonnage tax and inserted a
plank to that effect in their platform.
He is the republican nominee and as
such accords due respect to the will of
the majority of his party.

Samuel R. vansant, the heroic
captain of an old-time steamboat, is
now appearing before the public in a
new role-chairman of the board of
directors of the international church
film corporation of the northwest.
This organization will furnish motion
pictures Of a religious nature to the
churches Of Minnesota and the adjoin-
ing states. This role of reformer
coupled with considerable advertising
should suit Samuel, R.. admirably. He
has just about enough religion to
carry him through the part nicely.

It would not be surprising fact
it may be confidently expected-that
every republican candidate for gov
ernor who participated in the elimina-
ton convention and some who did not
will go forth to stump for j. A. o.

said that Tom Frankson and Sam
Iverson will do some spellbinding and
that Julius Schmahl will "make few
remarks" in behalf of Mr.. Preus.

In speech before an audience Of
women recently Congressman Schall
said: "The women Of the United
States are just as firmly against war
now as they were in 1916. The cleo
ton in Maine showed that the women
of the country are not to be diverted
from the issue nor carried away by
the arguments of Governor Cox or
Franklin Roosevelt" The tissue" to
which Mr.. Schall referred is, of
course, the league of nations covenant,
and many women have demonstrated
that they are more familiar with this
document than is the average man.

OF First Importance.

In electing a candidate for office the
first thing Of Importance is fitness and
ability to attend to the business of the
office. No private person or corpora
tion would think for one moment of
entrusting the management Of an $780,
900 a year expenditure to one who
lacked either the ability or the time
to devote his attention to the business
of wisely and economically spending
this large amount of money.-Fari-
bault Pilot.

The executive committee of the
Cleveland branch of the American
legion has demanded the dismissal
of Louis Post, assistant secretary of
the department of labor, upon the
grounds that he is obstructing the de-
portation Of dangerous alien enemies
United States and that his con-
tinuance in office is menace to the
country. Post should have been GUST
ed from office long ago and there are
many other administration officials de-
serving the same treatment.

Should Russia, with its 18O,OO0,OO0
people and vast raw material re-
sources, break through Poland and
unite with Germany, which is not inn
probable, we should face the great
danger which far-seeing men during
the war realized might come about.
When the allied armies failed to take
possession Of Berlin, Vienna and Con-
stantinople the most stupendous blum
der in history was made, and to that
failure is due the imminence of the
dangers we now face. Our dough-
boys were eager to "fnish the JOB"
and will tell you that they were great
ly disappointed in not being permitted
to so do, but the powers cried Halt"
and the command reluctantly obeyed.

So Mr.. Wilson has arrived at the
conclusion that Candidate Cox and
democratic party managers are Slight
ing him, failing, as it were, to force
his league of nations as it should be
forced and, in consequence, he has
ordered Joe Tumulty to prepare VOL
luminous propaganda on the covenant
and distribute it broadcast. This
means, of course, that the president
intends to virtually handle the league
issue from the white house. 1t makes
no difference, however, from where he
handles it, for it is foregone con-
clusion that at the November election
lit will be crushed beneath the heels Of
the voters.

It is stated in a New York paper
that number of alien reds have been
