!: ST. PAUL LETTER ::

Viewed professionally the state cam
paign of 1922 is disappointment
From the standpoint of the average
voter. however, 1922 in political way
at apparent, and what some of his
crowd regards as criminal inactivity,
while the other Is tickled to death
over the prospect of being permitted
to go to the polls without having to
wade knee deep through the usual
pre- election slush. Financially speak
ing this is the cheapest campaign in q
decade and no particular party or po-
economy Of stunts being practiced. Two
and four years ago Boss Townley and
his crowd were lavish with the cash
and in order to keep pace the Demo-
cratic and Republican. forces went the
but such will not be the case this
year AS far as this campaign is con-
cerned Minnesota voters will be per-
mitted to persue their own sweet WILL
and according to G: r. Adams, chair
man of the Republican state central
committee, this feature of non-inter-
ference will continue pretty much
through to November. OF course there
will be a campaign and Mr.. Adams
will leave no stone unturned in an eff
fort to demonstrate the superiority OF
the Republican state ticket over the
offerings of the Socialistic and other
radical forces tor but ut it will be along n1,f
it bluntly the Republican state or
ganization is not listed among the af
fluent this year and as a matter OF
necessity Chairman Adams has decided
with concentration of effort in those
districts best calculated to put the
Republican ticket over. AS he ex-
plains it anything else would be
criminal waste of money and labor.
On four previous occasions and in the
face Of thoroughly organized opposi-
ton Chairman Adams piloted the Re-
publican forces to victory and in each
the short and snappy campaign idea
was the big card and there is nothing
to show that he will not repeat in No,
vember. That thousands of voters;
sick and tired of the slush and long
drawn out political yapings of the past
will applaud Chairman Adams stand,
out saying, while it is equally certain
that certain others sore at their un-.
ability to get a hitch on the campaign
yellow boys will feel hurt. More
power to Chairman Adams. He will get
there.
To the average person and especial
ly the consumer of fuel, the present
much discussed coal shortage is simp-
ly a repetition of the fuel propaganda
past twenty years. but for the benefit
of those inclined to scott the north
west is facing fuel famine this year
that is not only real, but is serious.
So impressed are the United States
Senators and Gov. Preus with the
gravity Of the situation that their en-
tire time and labors are being given
to the securing Of needed relief and
while not altogether successful still
their efforts have not been without
profit. Both are out to prevent profit
teeing and while the job is an uphill
one they hope to keep such down to
the minimum.
