SENATOR KELLOGG ISSUES
STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE

To the People Of Minnesota
/ have received many generous in
vitations urging me to come to Mime
sofa and make speeches during the
pre- Convention campaign. Consistent
with my duties, do not see how it
il possible for me to do so. We have
now before the Senate. the Co-opera-
tive Marketing Bill, III which the
people Of Minnesota are deeply inter
ested. The treaties framed BY the
Conference on the Limitation Of Arm
aments are now before the Foreign
Relations Committee, of which 1 am
a member. Following that will come
the Bonus Bill, the Tariff Bill, the
Farm Credits Bill, and other matters
Of very great Importance.
I think the people elected me to
stay here and attend to my duties,
instead Of making campaign for re-
election. regret exceedingly the
want of opportunity to meet with
them and to speak to them. think
this is useful to the Senators as we'll
as to the people. But in these times
i cannot, merely on my own account,
leave the Senate. should be pleased,
il it were possible, to place before
the voters my views heretofore ex-
pressed and those which I hold upon
the great public questions confronting
the natoin; but, beyond the generosi-
~ Of the newspapers, it is not posi-
BE for me to do so. -
BY my failure to visit Minnesota I
do not wish anyone to feel that am
Indifferent or unappreciative Of the
generous support and confidence which
have been given me. The only com
pensation public man has, is the
confidence and esteem of the people
whom he represents, and as i must
rely upon the voters in each county
to select delegates representing their
views, shall appreciate it very much
If you feel that my record in the
Senate justifies my reelection.

When this action, which was form
erly part of the Red Lake Indian
reservation, was thrown open to home
stead entry the lake was left out of
the lands designated, being regarded
as meandered water Fractional
pieces along the shore were secured
by spectators who, after the lake
had been drained, claimed the new
made land as far as the center OF
the lake as natural accretion to their
original holdings. "Squatters'' had
taken up their residence on the land.
In 1916 it was formally opened to
settlement by proclamation of the In
terror department and a second crop
of settlers took up the land. For a
while there were three sets of claim
ants for this land. ~. -, r.
Some of these latter had been re-
siding Oh their claims for two or three
years and had made considerable
showing i'll the way of improvements.
AS the government claimed the land
originally for the Indians and had
later thrown it open y to settlement
those who moved there for the pur-
pose of making their homes thought
they had a right to remain The de-
partment of the interior has so ruled,
holding that the shore owners could
not lay claim to lands made available
by he drainage of the lake as these
were the property of the Indians and
must be paid for at the arte Of $1.25
an acre. The homesteaders who had
complied with the homestead laws in
making settlement were therefore left
in possession. ~.

Much printers ink has already
been used in every city and town in
the U. S. on the subject OF Buy AT
Home" Very few, if any, articles
ever written on this subject have
brought out the advantage the home
town gains by outside competition.
Let us say that we are, first, last
and all the time for Kennewick and
realize that our success depends en-
tirely upon the support OF the home
folks. However, we must give the
devil his due and in so doing must
admit that outside competition keeps
us up on our toes, wide awake and
alert, and no doubt has a great deal
to do with Kennewick's rock bottom
prices.
If it were not for the occasional
customer reminding us that they
could buy so and so at Spokane, Port
land or Walla Walla at less figure
than we were charging, we could cas-
ily lapse into a self-satisfied state,
buying our goods of the salesman
we like the best, paying no partlc-
ular attention to getting the best pos
sible prices for our patrons.

house is based upon the profit he
shows for his firm at the end Of the
year and not by the volume Of his
sales. For this reason the list price
or first price he quotes us is not
always his best price. Consequently
the small town merchant, realizing
that he must buy right to meet out
side competition, goes to the mat with
the salesman in earnest combat to
secure for his trade the best possible
prices.
"Buy At Home" is fine slogan
and one that should be worked hard
er. The local merchant is entitled
to the support of the buying public
and the public in turn is entitled to
the support of the local merchant.
We must step up to bat and hit the
ball and it depends upon how hard
we hit it whether we get to first
base or get home run.
Let us say in conclusion that we
buy more goods from our local mill
and wholesale house than all outside
purchases combined. We push the
local flour, and our reason for fea-
turing Del Monte canned goods is
: because the Kennewick Wholesale
Grocery keeps them in stock all the
time.
We must have your support and
you may in turn demand ours.
