Papers of. One Mind.

Papers of One Mind.
| There is nothing ike that in Min
nesota. The daily papers are largely
! of one mind. Some, like the Duluth
Evening Herald: glory in the defeat
of the old guard away from home,
but they are extremely loyal to the
old guard of. Minnesota. They are
supporting members of congress in
both branches from Minnesota who
voted every time with me1- like Sem
| ator Watson of Indiana who wars re-
Gently repudiated by his own party.
The Herald, once a powerful ad-
vocate of the Versailles treaty and
a strong hacker of the League Of
| Nations, only the other night eX-
pressed the hope that Senator Lodge,
the crucifier of world psace and un-
derstanding, would be renominated
by the Republicans of Massachusetts.
Party Above Country.
Senator Lodge is of the type of
Americana that puts party above
| country. He led the fight against the
Versailles treaty and against the
| League CT Natiors repudiating his
! own work on the latter subject. to
| give his party position of advant-
age and return it to power. How did
he work it? He recognized that a
| certain fixed percentage of the
American voters are strict partisans.
They vote the label and can always
| be depended upon.
With tho trjn rti
basis Senator Lodge knew that a
| fight against the League Of Nations
would bring to the support of his
| party the pre-Gecman, pro-Irish,
pro-Bolshevist and every other sort
of pro-Continental European vote,
which would include no small num-
ber of persons holding citizenship
and voting rights in America. He
succeeded in amalganlatins all the
| efements of nlalcontent and discon-
| tent for one election to bring his
party back into power, but at what
a friShtful cost to the American peo-
pie and to the world. Senator Lodge
is not a good American and if he is
defeated by the people of Massa-
chusetts he will deserve It.
=: Kellogg Like Lodge.
| Senator Kellogg is relatively in
the same position as Senator Lodge
/, with whom he usually votes. He is
not a representative Of the people,
| but of the special interests, which
employed him for many years before
! he entered the United States senate. i
He is voting as consistently for Big
Business as a senator as he did when
he was pleading their cases as a law =.
yer. He has little to worry him at
the primary election, but if his op-
position at the general election
should combine he would without
| doubt suffer the fate of Senator
Watson of Indiana.
| Governor Preus announced early
in the campaign that he would not
make an active campaign. He has.
! recently changed his mind. Former
Congressman Franklin +. Ellsworth,
| i'll spite of the fact that tire daily
newspapers refuse to mention his
! candidacy for governor, is worrying
| the machine candidate to such an
| extent that the same papers are
again pleading with the voters to
save the state from "un-Americans."
You know it is not patriotic to op-
pose the state machine whose chief
operator is on the pay roll of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company,
fact long surmised and clearly
proved within the last week.
