W. B. ANDERSON FOR QUINN

He Makes Statement In Order To
Clear Up misunderstanding
In order to clear up confusion
in the minds of voters as to the
identity of the candidate running
against Judge J. H. Quinn of the
supreme court, W.. B. Anderson of
Minneapolis has issued a statement
explaining that he is not the Ander-
SON on the ballot. Furthermore, ne
indorses Judge Quinn for re- cleo
ton.
w. B. Anderson, who came 10
Minneapolis sixteen years ago from
Winona county, was candidate at
the June primaries as was w. A.
Anderson, the man now opposing
Judge Quinn
W. A. Anderson, the nominee,
also Of Minneapolis, was at one time
a member OF the Minneapolis park
board and later a candidate for al
derman In that CITY, He was affiliat-
ed with the extreme radical move
ment in Minneapolis. Later he
went to North Dakota, when the
Nonpartisan league was in control
there. He served first as secretary
Of the industrial \ commission at
Bismarck, when it was controlled
by Lynn ]. Frazier and William
Lemke, Nonpartisan leaguers. Later
on, he became an assistant attorney
general under Lemke and remained
in that position until the Nonparti-
san league officials were recalled
year ago. After that he returned to
Minnesota.
w. B. Anderson, who has issued
the statement calculated to clear up
the existing confusion, served as
county attorney in Winona county
for six yeaa's and was member of
the Minnesota House of Represen-
tatives for six years. ~,
His statement follows:
Because Of the fact that many of
my friends and acquaintances are
under the impression that / am a
candidate for justice of the supreme
court, and have, with increasing
frequency, spoken to me about my
candidacy. I feel that l should make
public staten emit in order to- clear
up the confusion in the minds of
the voters. THE confusion has
arisen because of the similarity of
r<7,es. The man who is running
for the supreme court against the
Incumbent Judge Quinn is w. A.
Anderson and not w. B. Anderson.
/ am supporting Judge Quinn for
re- election as supreme court JUS
tice."

EDITORS BEWARE

An exchange tells of q neighbor-
,ng editor announcing that he
would try and tell the truth for
one week-and that now he is in
the hospital and the boys are gett-
ing out the paper. Following is
IN illustration of the truths he
published, hence, the necessity of
hospital treatment: Married, Miss
Sylvia Rhode to Mr.. Hames Cana
ham, last Sunday evening at the
Baptist church. The bride was an
ordinary town girl who didn't
know any more than a rabbit
about cooking and never helped
her mother three days in her life.
She is not beautiful by any means
and has a gait like duck. The
groom is an up-to-date, has
been a loafer, living off the old
folks all his life, and don't amount
to shucks and they're going to
have hard life while they live
together.
