TAG DAY FOR SUFFERING
RUSSIA BRINGS .$1,50o.60

The tag day for suffering. Russia
conducted by the local branch Of
the Friends Of Soviet Russia last
Saturday proved to be surprisingly
successful, even to its friends. and
supporters:
Collections for the day amounted
to $1,558.60. The only expense was
for printing tags. At least $1,500
has been sent to the headquarters
office at New York.
Despite the fact that there was
considerable opposition to a tag day
conducted by the Friends of Soviet
Russia, merchants and hotel pro-
prietors permitted representatives to
canvass their esta Adjustments. A
number Of volunteers came from
Superior to assist in the work.
Mr.. Georgian of Minneapolis, who
had charge of the work here, is
grateful to the people of Duluth and
Superior, and to organized labor Of
both cities for the fine assistance
and support they gave to him.

EXPECT FARMERS 70 OUT
THIS COUNTRY FOR CANADA.

I i 4 b Z I ~ : f. i
Ottawa, Ontario, April Can,
adian officials expect a great mi
grafton of farmers from the United
States the coming year. Government
ment Investigators report that farm
conditions in the United States: will
force these farmer to n owe. One Of
these Investigators says
"Thifty-six per cent. Of the United
States farmers afe tenants and the
price Of land has reached from. $500
to $500 an ;.cre. Owners fof these
high-priced lands: must have large
financial returns per acre to. pay for
their investment; but thisf is: i'm poss.
ible for the tenants with: wheat and
corn at. their present 4loSs price
- Therefore, tenants have got to
move. There is no cheap farm land
or homestead proposition today in
the western states. I found 40 cars
of settlers goods ready to move over
the line. The United z:States rail-
ways are making 4one-fare round
trip rates to Canada for the first
time in 10. years, which will help
enormously in bringing people to
Canada who want to investigate
conditions" .,~.-

POLITICS, ISSUES AND CANDIDATE

-Four years ago Walter JOhnson<
made a single handed run for sher-
iff AGAINST two strong men and he
came with Sc votes of landing the
nomination. Since then he has
made many new friends. Hundreds
Of people, have sent him assurances
of their sympathy and support.
There Is no question but that he will
be the nominee against Frank: L.
Magic. the present incumbent.
Friends of Mr.. Magic long ago
recognized that Mr.. Johnson would
be strong candidate against the
present incumbent. They fear him
more than any other person that has
been mentioned for sheriff.. They
would cut into Johnson's strength
at the primaries if they could. They
would encourage the candidacy of
Frank Schultz, captain Of detectives
at Duluth. who, like johnson, is an
old stage employee. Schultz was ap-
pointed on the police force in the
first instance by Mayor Truelsen at
the request Of union labor The range
friends of Mr.. Magic are not a bit
displeased, over the rumor that A.
H. Hoffman of Chisholm, a member
of the Musicians union, is to file for
sheriff. That makes three union
labor men against Magic at the pri-
mary election. That's not good pol
tics.
Can Haldcn Come Back?
Can Odin Halden come back p
That is the question asked by hum
dreds of people in Duluth and st.
Louis county this week, and since
the old premier filed for county
auditor Monday last. His announce
ment came as a complete. surprise,
for most people thought Mr. Halden
was resting serenely at t. Paul as
one Of the state tax commissioners
Walter Bergen. the present in
cumbent. defeated Mr.. Halden four
years ago. Like many men in public
office he has made enemies because
he was unable to please everybody,
but he has also made many new
friends, and if the contest is to lie
between he and Mr.. Halden it will
be a veritabl blood and brides"
| battle.
Mr.. Halden might have been
county auditor now and for the bal
ance Of his life had he attended to
the duties Of his office and Kept out
Of partisan politics. He was the
recognized head in St. Louis county
of the ED. Smith machine," which
has bossed the politics Of Minnesota
for these many years. 1t named
governors, dictated legislation and
served the big fellows faithfully.
The Smith machine was respons-
IDLE for putting over the Brooks

Of. street railways from the cities
and lodged them in the state. 1t is
the chief exponent and hacker of
special privilege in the Minnesota
legislature. It is because Of his con-
nection with the Smith machine that
Odin Haldenyt was defeated :. four
years ago. That machine saw to- 1t
that he was appointed a. member, of
the state tax commission. 1t Is loyal
to its friends: II. .,
Mr.. Halden will find it difficult
to win his way back to- the hearts
Of the voters of st. Louis county so
long as they feel and believe he has
political alliances that are inimical
to theirs Interests !
Pitt Files Again.
William Pittenger of Duluth has
again filed for the Republican NOM
ination for Congress. He will enter
the primaries against Oscar J. Lar
son, tho present incumbent. Pitt
will make his campaign on a, Beer
and Ligh Wine platform. His
candidacy will bring the issue
squafely- before the Republican vo-
tiers Of the district
Former CONGRESSMAN William l..
Carss> has not yet filed his certifi-
cate with the secretary Of state. He
will be a candidate and will put up
the fight of his life to regain his
seat in Congress.
Lockhart Casts Lot.
: G. o. Lockhart filed Wednesday
for the legislature in the Fifty-sev-
enth district. He served in the: last
house and made an AL record. His
election is practically assured.
Chauncey Peterson of the Elec-
trical Workers union also filed for
the House in the Fifty-seyenth dis
trict., He is. grandson of Alex
Fraser, county commissioner.
Senator E. r. Ribenack will run
again. He filed Wednesday and it
is not believed that he will have any
opposition. His record as a mem Der
Of the senate is very good.
Bernard Has Cinch.
Billy Bernard will have a cinch
in the Fifty-eighth district. He has
filed again for a seat in the legisla-
ture. John Goodwin will also file
probably after the labor meeting
to- be held next Sunday.

that he will not be candidate: 70,

SPLENDID SOLIDARITY

New York, April o0.-The ANAL
gamated ograpncrs Of America
present fine exhibition OF solidar-
itv in their opposition to the anti
union policy or the national associa-
ton OF employing lithoeraphers.
The bosses demand a III: per cent
, wage reduction, but their insistence
! for individual contracts and other
anti-union conditions prove that
they want to cut down the union
rather than wages.
The strikers women folk are be-
ing appealed to by superintendent
and managers who go to the homes
of the workers and attempt to inter-
est women, with oily talk, golden
promises and lurid literature in indi-
vidual contracts.
The workers claim that in no in
dustry have employers gone so far
to scduce trade unionists from their
orga nizations. Dinners have been
served. gratnities given and speech es
Of flowing oratOry were accepted by
the workers, who aprlauded the az

Heavy Rainfall
Floods the Sewers
and Low Places

Heavy rainfall yesterday after
noon, beginning at 4:4O o'clock and
continuing for thirty minutes, flood
ed all the sewers of the city and
created veritable lakes a flow places,
the water standing more than two
feet deep at some street corners. At
a late hour last night many of these
lakes had not been drained off by the
sewers, especially the one near How
ell Davis home at Dodge and Eighth
streets. 49,.
Several residents were unable to
get. out of their homes for several
hours without wading through sever
al inches of water, and some found
it rather inconvenient as late as this
morning. Three great lakes at Sixth
and Reed, Eighth and Dodge, Elev-
ents and Reed, and at the ball park
entrance. During the thirty minutes
the government guage showed that
1.55 inches of water fell.
