islative acts Of that body, In other
words, Mr.: Adams statement is only
a variation Of the plea to stand by
the president" and forget what the
existing Republican congress has
done and failed to do. It is Chair
man Adams saying what the presi-
dent is reported to have said by
Chairman Wood. without attributing
the statement directly to the presl-
dent. It is the old story of weaving
a subtle web when we practice to
deceive. :
Whether or not the Republicans
have anything to gain by making
Mr.. Harding the issue instead Of the
record Of the Republican congress is
doubtful. According to Chairman
Wood, in a speech delivered on the
floor Of the house, Everybody. is CIV
ing this congress hell. They are do
ing it because we have done nothing
to stimulate business; because we
have done nothing to give employ.
ment to the unemployed: because we
have done nothing to benefit the
farmer and stimulate the prices of
farm products"
Since that speech was delivered,
the unpopularity Of the Harding ad-
ministration has constantly increased
until it is now the consensus of opin-
lon, that the administration is more
unpopular than the congress, which
is admitted by Republican organs to
be 1.-The worst in twenty years.

ALL. AFTER / DAUGHER1Y

Business men generally seem to be
waking up to the political situation.
More than 1900 leading business
men of Chicago have formed an or
ganization to aid the Democrats in
this campaign. The trend of business
sentiment throughout the country,
whether openly manifested or not, is
against the Republican party and the
Fordney- -McCumber tariff. Business
men too have special grievance
against the proponent of the Repub-
lican tariff act and Attorney. General
Daugherty, in connection Herewith.
This grievance wa 5 voiced by the IL

Of Attorney General Daugherty in
failing to make-public the result of

WHEN WILSON WANTED DElaocR HOUSE

The; statement given out by Will
lam r. Wood, chairman Of the Re-
publican congressional committee, to
the effect that President Harding
would regard the election Of Demo-
cratic house this year as calam-
ity'' resulted in so much criticism
Of the. president for doing what
President Wilson had been so criti-
cized for doing by Republicans In
1913 that Chairman Wood has re-
vised his statement. saying that he
was responsible for the opinion and
not the president, although he had
just come from an interview with
Mr.: Harding in the White. House.
The. task of appealing on behalf
Of the president for the election Of
a Republican congress apparently has
been assigned to Mr.. John T. Adams,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, who, in a statement is
sued at the capital of the presidents 8
own state. makes a plea for an in
dorsement of the record Of Presi-
dent Harding and Of the Republican
congress as a whole, with the alter
native of their being rebuked as a
whole.
The import of Mr.. Adams state
ment is to substitute President Hard

to make his plea for the reelection
OF a Republican congress in the form
Of a, personal endorsement of the

PREUS HAS HIS NERVE,

Governor Preus evidently believes
it stands him in hand to entrench

Charles Evans Hughes made himself
solid with big business in New York

railroad fare within the state at .

by the system-serving press for that
act and the presidential bee has been

SWITZERLAND WILL VOTE ON FoRIEFouR HOUR Week

ing from competition of foreign
trades in which longer hours were
worked.
The new law provides that in
times of grave economic crisis the
normal hours may be increased to
81 per week, providing that the
working hours do not exceed 10 irh
any one day. 1t also gives power II
the Government to authorize a 54s
hour week for reasons other than
those arising from an economic
crisis.
According to the Swiss Constitu-
ton, laws not of an urgent nature
must be submitted to a referendum
if, this procedure is demanded by
10000 citizens with full franchise
rights. The organizations which met
and agreed to demand a referendum
on the. hours law greatly exceed
80, 900 in membership, They have
set up central committee to organ
ize the propaganda against the Gov
ernment proposals, and this Of
course will be met with counter
propaganda by the employers, who
urge that unless productive costs
can be, reduced the Swiss industries
cannot possibly recover, their pros

who are directly, or indirectly af-

now prevailing in Switzerland.

Switzerland is one of the few
countries where that interesting ex-

seems to justify it. The originators
of the referendum had in view poll

that industrial affairs are becoming
more and more the subject of. 1egis-
lation the application of the method
to industrial issues was inevitable
sooner or later.
The new Swiss law dealing with
the eight-hour day, or rather pro-
Vjding for the abrogation of the
legal eight-hour day in special cir
cumstances, has been challenged by
the Federation Of Trade Unions and
other organizations, with the result
that it is to be- submitted to the re-
ferendurn. Thus the. whole Of the
voters will have an opportunity of
pronouncing judgment on this ques-
tion, and as presumably the working
class voters are in majority it will
be extremely interesting to see how
they use their power.
The law was amended in June,

week could be modified up to So

Observation-Disclosures.

At &. o. P. mass meeting held in
Minneapolis last Saturday evening
presided over by Knute Nelson, the
venerable senator announced the con-
tlnuance of his dynasty.
"When I am gone you have good
material to succeed me in Governor
Preus,' said Senator Nelson, "and if
you want governor to succeed him. -
continued the sage Of Alexandria
you cant make a mistake in choos-
| ing Ivan, Bowen, who is one of nv
pupils and qualified to fill the off,
fice.''
The senior senator from Minnesota
is no novice in the art of ''kiny-
making.' When the late Governor
John A. johnson died and Adolph o..
Eberhart became the states chief
magistrate Senator Nelson sent Mr..
Preus from Washington to st. Paul
to become the new governor execu-
tive clerk. He was credited with be-
ing good mixer and ready with tn,
"glad-hand,' just such man as was
needed to offset the frigidity Of the
then new atmosphere at the state
capitol.
1t was rumored in st. Paul at the
time that Senator Nelson wanted
Preus in training to eventually be-.
como governor Of the state. He plave3
his cards we'll, toted square with Ed.
snnth and the rest OF the "bpys, -
and abided his time, which came when
MS party was torn asunder by the
attempt OF the Nonpartisan league
to capture the Republican organiza-
ton. Mr.. Preus was nominated and
elected. He has continued to live I'M
TO the expectations of his makers. r..
has "gone off on no tangents ,, He
mas offended no special interest that
Keeps the old machine we'll creased
and ne has curried favor with enc.
mics OF labor by striking at the work.
crs every time the opportunity was
presented.
Governor Preus has his eye on a
seat IN the United States senotc and
ne expects to ride to it on the back
OF the plunderbund that wants lust
such a type Of politician in the upper
mouse OF congress. If he can coutinue
to fool the people with his bitter sat-
tacks on socialism, which are but
subtle apologies for. privilege, he may
laha the toga. But that will be two
years hence and anything is likely to
happen before that time.
Then there is Ivan Bowen, another
protege of Senator Nelson, chosen
railroad and warehouse commission
or through his influence. Mr.. Bowen
has proved himself to be "safe and
conservatives by his willingness to
help, Minnesota traction interests to
boost their carrying charges. Ed

regular Republican candidates., al
though Mr.. Keller was re.nominated
for congress by the Republicans of his
| district.
81 am opposed to Mr.. Kcller's re-
turn to congress just as + am opposed
to the election Of Ex-Governor Fra
zier to the United States senate,'
writes the present dictator OF the Re-
publican party organization in Mime
sofa. In so much as he issgoing out
of the state to oppose candidates OF
his party why did he stop at North
Dakotal He might have added with
equal consistency that he was also
| opposed to the reelection of Robert
| NJ. LaFollette to the United States
senate from Wisconsin or to the elec-
tion of Smith w. Brookheart to the
senate from Iowa. They are all in
the same class, and are candidates Of
the Republican party.
Indeed if Governor Preus could cast
his vote in all of the middle west
states. this fall he would find it ex-
ceedingly difficult 20 support the
nominees of his party in any of them
outside Of Minnesota. Among the lead
ing Republican candidates for high
office in the north central states he
and Senator Kellogg stand like lone
some shrubs in the desert of reaction.
His ostensible grievance against
Congressman Keller is based upon that
statesman 8 impeachment of Attorney
General Daugherty cat the instiga-
tion of lawless outfit.'
That "lawless OUTFIT consists of,
among others, the officers of the
American Federation Of Labor and
the railroad labor organizations who
merely seek an opportunity to pre-
sent to congress series Of charges
against Mr.. Daugherty for violations
of his oath of office, the law and the
Constitution of the United States. A
Republican committee Of the house,
headed by Mr.. Volstead OF Minnesota,
refused to hear the charges before the
November election. They dare not
hear them. Mr.. Daugherty viii resign
before he will stand trial, and that
would be bad thing to do during
the campaign.
If there was single candidate
against Governor Preus in this elec-
tion he would be beaten so badly he
never again would be heard from I'M
state or national politics. His personal
success offers no hope to the masses
Of the people Il Minnesota. He stands
today as the foremost defender in the
state of greed and plunder, of reac-
ton and special privilege. He has
marketed his soul for political pre-
ferment. He is entitled to all the
honor he can get out of such service.
