is considered "just a filling station

"Will the People Vote the Way
they Shout?" Is Question
In Senate. Contest
WISEST POLITICIANS
APPARENTLY PUZZLED
Republican Leaders Certain
OF Republican Majorities
on Entire State Ticket

st. Paul, Nov. 3,-One big quest
ion stood out today as the political
campaign in Minnesota swung into
the home stretch.
Will the peope vote the way they
shout?
The answer will be the number of
votes given Anna Dickey Olesen,
diminutive woman nominated by the
Democrats for the U. S. senate.
All political factions agree that
she has conducted the most stren-
uous campaign ever conducted by
any candidate for senator in this
state. They conceded that she has ad-
dressed crowds and been accorded
enthusiastic applause in every sect
ion of the state. #.,
But always the question recurs-
evil the people vote the way they
shout?" 81,
If they do, Mrs. Olesen stands a
better chance of upsetting normal
Republicanism in Minnesota than any
oe in recet years, her managers be-
lieve.
Under normal conditions Senator
Frank Kellogg should be returned to
Washington by substantial major
ity. With the vote split three ways
between Republican, Democrat and
Farmer-Labor, the division should
favor the Republican candidate, ac-
cording to political history.
Minnesota hasn't been upset ;politi-
cally recently, and the only factor
that leads to a d0ubtfh perspective
of the situation this week is the trad
itionally doubtful element-womar.
Not only is woman voting-but
woman is voting on a woman versus
two men.
If all of the senatorial candidates
were men Of recognized political
faith, the popular conclusion appar-
emily would be that women voters
would vote largely according to the
political beliefs of their husbands.
But the presence of a woman in the
campaign ushers in new and pre-
viously inexperienced angle so far
as Minnesota is cocerned.
Whether womanly pride in the
distinction accorded one Of the fem
'inine sex will affect the vote is a
question even wisest politicians have
grown weary over.
Republican leaders are fully con-
vinced that there is no sentiment
either Of chivalry on the part of the
masculine voter or pride on the part
of the feminine gender, that will
change the political complexion in
the state. They are certain of Re-
publican majorities.

Silk Banner Given Band
by kiwanis Club

Thursday evening at the Civic and
Commerce association rooms, we'll
planned by the members Of the Boys

ary to Bandmaster G. o. Riggs. In
spite of the fact that business seemed
to require Mr.. Riggs attention at
the City hall a greater part of the
afternoon, and the. committees met
with many difficulties in lodging him
while making the preparations, moth
ing of the sort was surmised by him
until the boys began to gather at
about six o'clock and then it was
that he got an inkling that some
thing mysterious was going on.
Long tables set in the dining room
were beautifully decorated in the
Halloween scheme, with crysanthe-
mum boquets for. center pieces, little
skeletons attached to water glasses
for favors, and at $50, 81 members
Of the band and the leader partook
Of a well-prepared chicken supper,
to which all did justice.
Immediately following the supper
committee from the Kiwanis club
composed Of Messrs. West, Elliot and
Whitman appeared. Mr.. West act
ing as spokesman, told in an impress
sive manner Of the regard Of the
city for the Boys band and at a given
Signal a beautiful blue silk banner
with gold lettering, was unfurled by
Mr.. Whitman and presented to them.
Walter Barker, president Of the band,
responded in a few words Of appre-
citation and thanks. Eugene Koehn
then appeared, carrying leather
travelling bag, nearly as large as him
self, which in behalf of the Boys
band, he presented to the bandmaster.
Mr.. Rigg thanked the boys. In view
of the fact that he announced in his
talk that the usual band practice
would be postponed, the boys were
glad to accept the invitation extend
ed by G. S. Harding to be his guests
at the Elko theatre for the remain
der of the evening.
