CoAN DEFINES STAND
Minneapolis Candidate For Congress
Announces His Platform

lASSoCated Press DiSpafch.l
Minneapolis, October 16.-John
r. Coan Of Minneapolis, Democratic
candidate for Congress from the
outlined his platform today in the
following statement to the. Associat-
ed Press. -J
II am unalterably opposed to the
Foraney- McCumber tariff law. Per-
manent tariff legislation should not
have been undertaken while world
conditions were so unsettled. The
passage of this Law will impede the
return of normal business condi-
tions, curtail our EXPORT trade. and
place the enormous burden of $3,-
000, 100000 year upon the Ameri-
can people. The wool schedule alone
will increase the cost of clothing
$50, 100000 a year and will benefit
only a few wealthy growers. The
more oppressive schedules should
be reduced Immediately, and future
tariff legislation should be based on
Commission. 49,
q am opposed to rewarding priv
ate enterprises out of the public
treasury as was; done in the Esch-
Cummins law and is now proposed
in the ship subsidy. -
'I am in favor of the immediate
passage of the constitutional amend
ment regulating child labor.
The coal industry should be sub
jected to strict governmental regu
lation. Profteering in coal must
cease. ,..."
Our military expenditures should
be reduced to point compatible
with national security.
The soldiers bonus bill should
be passed at once, the money there
for to be raised from the interest
on the foreign debt, or by increasing
the federal inheritance taxes and
the re- enactment of an excess pro-
fits tax.
1.-TWO serious national strikes have
occurred since the Railroad Labor
Board was established. | favor the
abolition of this board and the sub
stitution of a Board of Cancellation
similar to that provided in the New
lands law.
II am opposed to the sales tax.
THE saloon must never be per-
mitted to return. The present Pro-
hibition law, however, is not salts
factory. 1t has not the support of
public opinion, without which no law
can be enforced. The Volstead Act
should be modified, allowing the
manufacture, under stringent gov
eminent supervision, of beer and
light wines, for. home consumption
only.
Government in behalf Of the few
must cease. I'm for a new deal at
Washington. -,s..7.s

KELLOGG AND PREUS
WILL SPEAK In KATO
Senator And Governor To Address
People Of Blue Earth County
; On October 81

People of Blue Earth county will
hear the two headliners Of the re-
publican campaign on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 81, when United States Sen
ator Frank B. Kellogg and Governor
J. A. o. Preus are to speak in Man
kato at 1880 P. M.
The governor and senator are late
in starting their campaign, due to
being tied UP in the fight to get
coal for the northwest. They will
be unable to cover the entire state.
but the people of this county will
have opportunity to hear leaders Of
the ticket discuss the important
issues Of the day. s
Senator kellogg will give an ac-
counting of his service to the state
and nation in the upper house OF
congress, where, according to Sen
ator Arthur Capper, farm block
chairman, he is one Of the greatest
powers in the battle to assist and
restore agriculture to its place as
the county's leading industry. Mr..
kellogg also will discuss the. pro-
posed st. Laurence waterway, which
will bring ocean vessels into Duluth
and save from six to ten cents a
bushel on freight rates on exported
grain. The senator has been cham
pioning the waterway plan for near
ly ten years, and expects to see it
put through through the CO. opera
ton OF this country and Canada. He
is a member of the foreign relations
committee, which has the matter in
hand.
Governor Preus has made tax
reduction" the slogan of his cam
paign. He will show, it Is expected,
that his administration has taken
the lead in this work, and will call
upon every unit of state government,
from townships up, to join in alower
tax campaign. The governor also
will touch on the record of his ad-
ministration, pointing out the full
fillment of promises made In the
republican state platform.
Both the senator and governor are
excellent speakers, and those VINO
90 to hear them will receive much
valuable information as to the man
ner in which their public servants
are endeavoring to solve the tire
mendous problems left to them oy
the war.

FIRE IN STORE ROOM
THREATENS CITY HALL

Fire of unknown origin which
started in a store room in the base
ment of the city hall, Thursday af-
ternoon at about four o'clock, re-
sisted the efforts of the firemen with
the chemical apparatus to extinguish
it for some time, but was finally
subdued and the danger to the build
ing removed.
1t is thought that the fire was
caused by spontaneous combustion
in lot of paper which had been
carried into the room as waste pa
per from the school room, the 30
grade being taught in room in the
city hall Damage was very small
and owing to the smouldering ma.
ture of the fire no general alarm
was sent out.
Another fire for which no general
alarm was given was that at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Snow,
who have rooms over the Frank
Harlan confectionery store. The
blaze was discovered on Wednesday
evening and owing to the close prox.
unity of the FIRE apartment, the
chemical apparatus was taken over
and the fire extiriguished. Damages
were stated to 1o small in this case

Want To See Babe Ruth2

Oh. you baseball fans and hero
worshippers! Listen to this! Youth
all want to hike to the Empress
theatre, Grand Rapids. the week of
February 8, to pay tribute to the
court of his majesty. Babe Ruth,
the king of swat. The Bambino is
coming to that theatre in a cleverly
devised act by Thomas j. Gray call
ed That's Good. Wellington Cross
(The Duke) natty entertainer of
finished stage department, fills in
the interlut' es and makes the way
easy for Mr.. Ruth to travel to sue
cess in vaudeville. They have pi-
anist, Lean Moore, who PLAYS ac-
compartments for Ruth and Cross.
Yes, the Babe sings; he tells jokes
and he shows how he has learned
mind-reading since the last world
service. Had he known during that
series what he pretends to know in
this act, such thing as "barnstorm-
ing" would probably have never en-
tered his mind. The mind reading
act in which Ruth, blinc folded on
the stage, describes various articles
touched by Cross in the audience, is
no pretense at seriousness; it is up
roariously good fun. There will al
so be a full seven act all Keith vau-
deville program, a regular represen-
tative bill full of merit and comedy.
