The Madison team proved to be no
match for the snappy Willmar aggre-
cation in the game played at the To-
cal ball park on Sunday when Willmar
carried away the long end of 10 to
0 score. Willmar's line was always
there with the stuff, opening holes and
spilling and tackling the members of
the opposite team. Their strength was
shown in the first part of the game
when they carried the ball nearly the
whole length of the field by a series
of line plunges until they lost the
ball at the ten yard line. Odell, Walt
Conway and Nicholson on the left
side of the line held their own and
were able to open up some good holes
for their ibackfield men to make a gain.
On the defensive they also were good,
getting their men and often busting
up plays before they We're started. Vic
Peterson at center also played a good
game. Frank Conway, Norling and
Nelson held up the right side OF the
line in good shape. Nelson made a
long gain of 25 yards on pass from
Erickson. In the backfeld Grace, San
| din and Erickson were the heavy yard
gamers while Hahn. also added his
share Willmar made their first touch

if We allsexpect to getsbetter condi-
tons for the common people we will
have to quit voting for a Republican
or Democrat because he comes out
just before election and. makes all
kinds of promises to 4s! We want to
remember that he has in every case
been indorsed by Big Biz and that he
has had to promise them to be a. faith
full servant to them before he ever
got their endorsement. The promises
he makes to you mean nothing. They
are made just to get your vote. The
Republican party was good party at
one time, but now it has been gobbled
up and is completely under the con
troll of Big Biz. Yes, the new Repub-

cope with as the League has today.
They called it all kinds of names and
it was strongly opposed by Big Bust:
ness while today these same men will
refer to such men as Lincoln in or

that there is as much difference in
