CONSUMPTION DEMAND
LENDS STRENGTH TO
CHICAGO BUTTER MART

CHICAGO, March 1s.-The factor
principally responsible for the firm
condition of the butter market and the
advances in prices during the past
week was an excellent consuming de-
mand, according to the weekly report
o fthe United States bureau of mar
kets- For some weeks the demand has
been good enough to take are Of the
current receipts and also good sized
blocks of storage butter; but supplies
seemed sufficient and any attempt to
push prices higher was met with
freer offerings.
During this week, however. stocks
began to clear better. Demand was
improved to such an extent that the
receivers Of the larger markets faced
a shortage and began raising their
asking prices. The upturn failed to
check the demand md all-week stocks
were barely sufficient to take are of
buyers needs. The firmer condition
was general on all our principal mar
kets.
All grades OF both fresh and stor-
age butter shared in the better de-
mand and all showed advances overe
tho prices ruling early in the week
Fancy butter was the first to clean up
and when this ran short, buyers turned
to the lower scores and to storage
grades.
The future OF the markets. unless
influenced by unexpected factors, de,
mands on the increase in production
and on the reaction Of the consumers
to the higher prices.

T. points Chanmen to Garry on

Judge T. O. Gilbert, County Chair
man of the 1922 Red Cross Roll Call,
has appointed the following persons in
the community to have charge Of their
respective localities in soliciting mem
berships and donations to the Red
Cross work in the county. These
chairmen will in turn appoint their
solicitors. In the city of Willmar
chairmen were appointed by City
Chairman, A. A. c. Blomquist, one for
each ward.
The Red Cross Roll Call task is
no small one and those who are work
ing for the cause in soliciting dona-
tons and memberships and those who
donate to the cause deserve the
thanks of the community. The soil
citors however both donate their ser
vices as we'll as their financial help.
The solicitation work is not pleasant
task. Folks should therefore show
every courtesy to the solicitors. No
one is compelled to donate and has
the privilege of doing as one sees the
matter. We do not. believe however
that no citizen who is willing to sacri-
fee little something can refuse to
help this humane cause. Every citizen
is expected to do his bit.

lenge voters but spent the day run
ming about the city plotting voters
whose rights he might feel would be
questioned, to the polls Lastly, he
fell down on delivering the votes of
these men at the precincts where they
might have been received without
question, either by mail or otherwise,
and to Judge by returns they would
have been equally we'll needed in
any of the towns where the men have
their homes.
AS for the allusion to the writer
made in the above, will say that the
quotation made was merely incident
al. The question at issue at that time
was whether man who had sworn
that he was a legal resident of the
precinct could be denied the ballot.
Judge Gilbert said he could not be
and we said he could-that according
to law all judges must be satisfied of
the persons right to. vote and that
such voters affidavit was not conclu-
| sive. In looking up the passage in
the law to substantiate our claim, we
incidentally read the passage Mr.
Baker mentions.
The Judges had asked the county
attorney for his written opinion in
matters at issue at this precinct and
as far as we, have learned had not
asked for the presence of the city at
torney. He came with Judge Gilbert
to the polls with bunch of men
from the strikebreaker's camp few
minutes before the polls closed in the
evening.-Editor's Note.

The Tribune publishes the above in
order that people generally may have
the opportunity, if desired, to read
the attack made by the Politician
Editor of the Republican Gazette on
the three election judges of the First
Precinct Of the Third Ward-Messrs.
Magnus Olson, CLAUS Anderson and
John L. Grue-whose duty it was to
determine how many of the strike
breakers residing in the shacks at the
roundhouse would be eligible to vote
in that precinct.
After Mr.. Baker has said all he has
to say we fail to see where he has
made out case against these Judges.
lhat they acted in good faith and
conscientiously tried to do their full
duty no one who knows them doubts
for minute. They fearlessly stood by
their convictions in spite of all the
pressure brot against them, and for
this service The Tribune wishes to
commend them.
The attorney generals opinion
makes it very clear, and the law needs
40 amplitication in this respect. that
the election judges must determine
from the facts presented in each case
whether or not person has a legal
right to vote in precinct. We do not
believe that single person who could
prove legal residence in that par
ticular precinct was denied the right
to vote.
We know that at least dozen good
American citizens were denied the
right to vote in Willmar last Tuesday

a week ago because they had moved
from one precinct to another within
thirty days, in one case across the
street. No one doubted their rights
as American citizens or their inten-
tons to remain residents of Willmar,
but they could not qualify as bonafide
legal residents Of the precincts in
which they had moved. They had no
redress, under the ruling opinion from
the same office of the attorney gener-
al. A palpable injustice was done
them, as everyone admits, still the
safeguarding Of elections require strict
rules, and no great public outcry was
made about it.
But in the case of the imported
strikebreakers, one might have good
reason to question even whether they
were bona fide residents of any par
ticular precinct of the city, especially
those men whose families reside else
where. This was a question for the
judges to decide, on the facts in each
case, and it comes with poor grace
from campaign manager of one of
the contending parties to attack them
in the public print and throw asper-
sions on their motives.
It seems to us that Mr.. Baker has
made bad mess of this matter from
start to finish. His activities for sew
eral weeks as outlined by himself

lead. Then his activities as "chal-
