2to put MT. Bush over. Trades Of all
kinds were reported. He: was the only
man on the Lincoln club ticket who
had q; chance and the returns indicate
their guess was right He was only
1o1 votes behind Merritt. His big vote

Labor e'stood pat all the way
Though. There was not q break in
/ Ethesranks.' An analysis of the returns
by precincts Indicate that class lines
were tightly. drawn: The east end
voted ,.solid1y for: Bush and GetcheH.
Nearly every precinct west of Eley-
enth avenue East to West Duluth. gave
Phillips and Merritt clean majorities.
It was labor that put Merritt over.
Commissioner Phillips is to be- con-
graduated on his remarkable vote.
That was a dastardly attack made on
him on the evening. before election by
someone tpo eowardly to sign his
name, by inserting an advertisement
: in The Herald under the Soldiers and
Sailors" committee challenging the
loyalty. Of Mr.. Phillips during the
war;. We are surprised that The Her
aid would accept such an advertise
ment without requiring someone to be
responsible; for it besides an organiza-
ton which does not exist:
+: It is sometimes more difficult to be
a good winner than it is to be good
to-
paign can be forgotten, but that
charge against Commissioner Phillips
will not be dropped. The people who
made it must make good.
"Patriots' Run Amuck.
1t is such rank practices that are
doing lot of mischief in the country.
Patriotism is too sacred to be dragged
in the mire of filth, and yet there are
lot of people who will resort to it to
put any, selfish scheme over.
!. No wonder that charge of Johnson's
is so frequently quoted: Patriotism is
the last refuge of g scoundrel."
Phillips was as loyal to America
during the war as any person in Du-
luth. He proved his loyalty every time
he was put to the test. -. r
Phillips has been attacked from am
bush. Efforts have been made from
time to time to trap him. He has
stood his ground faithfully and we'll.
He has made good official. He has
been on the job, and that says it all.
He is hated because he is right. He
is more loyal to his country and to
American ideals than most Of his
defamers.
Judges Cutting and Funck received
q remarkable endorsement. There
were 20,244 votes cast. Judge Cutting
received 16.061 votes and Judge
Funck, 1929. Judge Window re
ceived 1887 votes, indicating that the
most Of his supporters voted tor him
alone. Judge Lanners had no oppo-
sitiont and was given. q fine vote OF,

The labor end ofthe campaign was
conducted by Henry L. NORM. He was
ably assisted. by E., w. Griffin and
j. D., Mcnamara of the railroad
workers. John e. Jensen was chosen
to represent Mr.. snively and co-op-
Grated with the labor committee.
They; had a perfect organization. Mr.
Morin's reply to the attack made on
Phillips on account of his association
with Norm was one of the features Of
the closing days Of the campaign. He
hit straight from the shoulder and
made Phillips a lot of new friends.
Mr.. Norm has been the butt of; at.
tacks from some quarters.-but NJ has
