The other day a substantial farmer
residing in this county inquired if the
nonpartisan issue was in general sup
posed to be dead. No, it is not dead.
Right here in our own county we are
informed that there are five solicitors
who have been at work for manv
weeks. They are not coming out in
the open, but, as the farmer said, are
conducting whispering campaign.
Those solicitors must be making some
Roadway or they would not be stavinp
here for so long a time. It appears
however, that they are not devoting
all their attention to Mile Lacs coun-
ty, but while making their headquar-
ters in Milaca, are operating in Kama
bee, 1santi and Benton counties also

took up his battle.

took up his battle.
The primary system under which it
was supposed so much good would
come to the country, is one Of the
most expensive systems that can we'll
be conceived. It makes an opening
for graft beyond all peradventure.
Newberry's campaign, conducted by
his friends, was publicity campaign,
carried on through all the newspapers
in Michigan. Besides, it was neces-
sary to send out thousands of letters.
and print and circulate thousands of
posters. All this caused a great deal
Of money to be spent, but Newberry
himself spent none of his own money,
and during the entire campaign re-
mained at his post in the navy yard of
New York.
! l think that the good people of
Michigan were so anxious about de-
feating. Ford that they spent more
money in carrying on publicity cam
paign in behalf of Newberry than was
really necessary; but nothing in the
evidence shows that there was any
money used to corrupt voters. It was
a great advertising and publicity cam
paign, where most Of the money spent
went to the newspapers and periodi-
Gals.
I think that the people of Michigan
deserve great credit for defeating
Ford. Those men who have become
suddenly rich at the expense of the
public, l think, are a menace to the
welfare of our country and should be
kept out of public affairs.
These,I in brief, are the outlines of
the Newberry case, and they give you
the reasons why voted to seat New
berry. Ford, being the contestent in
the case, of course no testimony was
taken or given as to the amount he ex-
pended. My own opinion is that he
expended far more in this campaign
than was spent on behalf of New
berry
In his connection, beg leave to call
your attention to the campaign of
Mr.. Pinchot, a progressive reformer,
for the governorship of Pennsylvania
Everybody comedies him to be an
honest man and one that would under
no circumstances be guilty of bribery.
Yet his publicity campaign in the
state of Pennsylvania, according to
his own statement, amounted to up
wards Of $4,000 or $15O,OOO; and
Senator Pepper, lately nominated for
senator in Pennsylvania, who is also
progressive man of high charac-
ter by his own showing was COM
PEELED to spend $4,000, nearly all of
it in the way Of publicity.
l write you thus fully in order that
you may understand on what grounds
and why voted to seat Newberry.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Knute Nelson.

AS the campaign for the office of
United States senator continues,
many of the women in Minnesota are
going to hear, s'I told you So" Even
now some of the men are throwing
out their chests and sagely observing
that they never believed in women en-
tering politics. While Mrs. Anna D.
Olesen by her method of campaigning
lays herself open to severe criticism,
she is not in a class with Shipstead
or certain Mr.. Soltis who toured the
country with him two years ago. AS
long as the men will maintain such
speakers on the political platforms
there is no occasion for them to be
too supercilious with the women.

Needed Legislation.

The senate's passage of the Borah
fact-fnding commission bill to investi-
gate the coal industry marks desired
progress in legislation that aims at
meeting real need The experience
through which the nation is now pass
ing emphasizes the necessity for ad-
justment of conditions in the coal in
dustry to the end that repetition Of
>breakdowns like that of the current
year may be avoided. Obviously the
first step to be taken in this direction
is investigation of conditions with a
view to ascertaining the causes Of
such collapses. And this is one of the
chief objects Of the Borah bill.
This bill provides for the creation
Of an investigative body of five mem
mers whose duty it shall be to report
to Congress their findings relative to
conditions in the coal industry and to
make recommendations. This is con-
structive legislation. Following the
line of action urged by President
Harding in his recent message, it is
designed to clear the way for remedy
ing situation that must inevitably
grow worse, if it isn't promptly and
effectively dealt with.
This measure and the house bill
dealing with the same subject now go
to conference. Public need urges that
differences between the two bills be
ironed out as quickly as possible and
that the resulting measure be speed
ed to enactment Washington Post.

Fords and Fuel.

~ :
The closing down Of the Ford plants
is pretty important item Of news to
everybody, but especially to the hun
dred thousand workers who are
thrown out Of employment, and to
their families. Also, to their butchers
and grocers and clotheirs.
Mr.. Ford has said that. he is doing
this as protest against hold-up on
coal prices. He is closing down, he
says, rather than pay the profteering
prices that are being charged for coal
There are those who have ill-natured-
ly intimated that it is not so much
that as it is plan Of giving themar-
ket chance to catch up with the ap-
palling production Of Fords. Judge
Gary, evidently, does not agree with
this view. He sees in it protest
against coal prices, just as Mr.. Ford
says it is.
Closing down to catch up with the
market may become necessary some
times, but it isn't good way to do.
When lot of people are out Of work
the ability to buy automobiles is de-
creased all along the line, and that, to
some extent at least, makes the injury
of a shutdown offset the gain.
Probably it is fairest to take Mr..
Ford at his word, and believe that the
shutdown is dramatic protest
against coal profteering.
Everybody that buys coal feels
about the same way, and would like
to do the same thing. But not every
body can. Households must be kept
going, and to be kept going they must
be warmed. Much as the head of the
house might like to spite the coal
profiteers, he can't shut down.
Moreover, before much coal prof.
teering is done it is usually so ma
neuvered that people get so scared
about the prospect Of getting any coal
at all that they are likely to be CRATE
full if they get it at any price. They
can't, much as they would like to, act
like Mr.. Ford. They are not so inde-
pendent in their circumstances. Mr..
Ford, though he could if he wanted to,
probably will not shut up his home
and leave his coal bin empty while he
goes south for the winter. Neither
will his employees. They have been
left to face coal prices without earn
ings to help them buy coal.-Duluth

A recent issue of the Minneapolis
Journal bears the headline, "Turks
Massacre 1000 Christians" There
follows story of fearful outrages,
reports Of British and American eye
witnesses, describing how helpless
women and children are slaughtered
by the hundreds. In the same issue of
the Journal appears the statement of
a University Of Minnesota professor,
who has just returned from CONSTANT
nople, describing the Turk as a digni-
fled, Well-bred and religious patriot.
The Turk may be all that the professor
paints him but he has a mighty queer
way of displaying his refinement and
religious attributes.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO.
President Harding vetoed the bonus
bill and has clearly stated his reasons
for doing so. He has met the issue
squarely, made clean-cut decision
and has no apologies to offer for his
action. Even those who do not agree
with him on the question must admire
him, his courage and fine sense of
duty
When the bill was under considera-
tion in the house, President Harding
asked that some provision for raising
the money to pay the bonus be in
cluded in the measure if it was to be
passed. The house and senate both
passed the bill authorizing an expen-
diture, which it is estimated would
amount to 795 million dollars during
the first four years it was in effect,
without making any provision for
raising the necessary funds. When
the government is spending the vast
sums of money it is in caring for
wounded and disabled soldiers, and
when one of the most pressing prob
lens is that of diminishing the present
tax burden, President Harding felt
that in justice to the ex-service men
and to all other citizens of this coun-
try he could not sign the bill.
Although the house by a big vote
has overridden the veto, it is expected
the senate by narrow margin will
sustain it. In considering the situa-
tion it must be remembered that ma
jority of the house members and
about one-third of the senators are
seeking reelection this fall.
y Laying aside all personal views on
the bonus bill, every man and woman
must feel sense of admiration for
our chief executive who has dared to
assume position which seems un-
popular with the crowd on a question
Of so much public interest.

The attendance at the state fair did
not come up to the records of previous

not plentiful, especially among the
farmers who have been the main pa
irons Of the fair. While fair crop
has been harvested, the farmer still

PASS ALLEY BILL
WITHOUT DISSENT
Evictions Delayed Until
June l, 1923, Under New
Legislation.

To prevent eviction OF November
10 of $4,000 alley dwellers in the
National Capital the House today
passed unanimously the bill passed by
the Senate last week which postponed
evictions under the alley bill until
June 1. 1928,
Chairman Focht of the House Dis
trict committee explained to the
House that the District Commission
ers had protested to Congress that it
would not be possible under existing
conditions to find other homes for
those who are dwelling In the alleys,
and that the conditions in the alleys
Injurious to life, public health. morals
and safety have been much improved
since the previous legislation calling
for abandonment of the alley dwellings
was passed.
Chairman Focht pointed out that a
survey made in April, 1920 showed
that the total number of alley dwell
iings in the District was 2,S2S. of
which 141 were vacant; the total
number of Inhabitants in those alley
houses was 9.4S5, of which approxi-
mate1y 485 were white and 5000 col
ored. Owing to conditions brought
about by the war, building construc-
tion was greatly retarded.

today of independent action, although
officially Premier Poincare's position
remains unchanged.
