American history"
Mr.. McAdoo and other Democratic
orators have been making much Of the
Newberry ease, SO further down in hia
note Dir. Shipstead saids
'.The government was not sold on
! the auction block for the first time La
the election OF Newberry. The Demo
Gratis sold 1t to the war grafters and
profiteers during the war. Both the
Republican and Democratic parties sold
railroads when they passed the Esch--
Cummins railroad law. The period of
initiation, which has ruined the COM
merce Of the country and haakrupted
rs per cent of tho farmers, was started
under the Democratic Administration,
and Is being finished by Republican
Administration, and both must be held
responsible
SO that tho net effect of the McAdoo
visit--if one is to disregard the founda-
tion building for the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in l924-is to divert
most Of the bitterness Of both the
Democrats and the Farmer-Labor
crowd from the Republicans to each
other 1t is probable, many observers
up here believe, that McAdoo's appeal
will result in good many votes going
to Mrs. Oleson instead of to DR.. Ship
stead, which will decrease to just that
extent DR.. Shipstead's chances of beat
ing Kellogg, but which will not amount
to anything like enough to lift Mrs.
Oleson from third to second place.
Volstead ls in Danger
The fight against A. J. Volstead--he
of dry law fame-is an interesting one,
with the chances rather favoring his
defeat. The candidate against him, D.
j. Kvale, has been Endorsed by both
the Nonpartisan League and the Demo
Gratis, He is just as dry as Volstead
ever thought of being, but nevertheless
is being aided by wet influences and
money from all over the country. The
vets would like very much the moral
effect Of Vclstead's defeat, despite their
knowledge that it would make no differ
ence in amending the Volstead law.
seems likely that w. L. Carss, Demo-
crat, will defeat the Republican in
cumbent, o. ]. Larson. Larson de-
feated Carss two years ago with the
help of the Harding landslide. and two
years before that Carss surprised the
country by defeating Clarence Miller,
later secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Committee and now dead. Mil
Ter at that time was the best known
of the Minnesota delegation.
Another curious situation exists in
the 4th District, where Representative
Oscar E. Kellar has been read out Of
the Republican party as result Of his
attempt to impeach Attorney General
Kellar introduced an i'm
peachment resolution aainst Daugherty
after the House declined to yield to the
demands of Representatives Woodruff
and Johnson. Later he attacked the
same Cabinet officer vigorously for the
injunction sought by the Department
Of Justice in the railroad strike.
There Is no doubt, however, about
Kellar's reelection. On the contrary,
tho reading Of Kellar out Of the party
for this attack on Daugherty is real
zed by the important Republican lead
prs of the state to have been decided
mistake politically on the part Of those
It is conceded that the
district will go heavily against Kellogg
instead of going for him by safe ma
|ority, which otherwise, in their opin-
on, would have been assured.
