OBSERVATIONS
(By the Cornfield Philosopher)
Making PROGRESS

Editor Tribune: There are some of
the more radical progressives who
seem to be impatient at the; apparent
ly slow advance we are making to bet
ter the financial condition of the far
mer and the working man.
| According to my view*we are max
ing progress as fast as can be reason
ably expected: Big business if we only
go back to the war of 1861 has had
more than half century to work it's
will in government. and entrench it.
self in power.
1t has only had some slight inter-
| ruptiOns in it's designs in all that
| time.
How are we going to apply REM
edy for condition that has been brot
about by so many years of favoritism
all at once?
All these years big business has
been in politics for just one purpose,
and that purpose was and is to alb
sorb all the surplus wealth created by
| the labor of US all.
Legislation to that end has been
continuously and persistently urged
| and l regret to say too often secured.
AS method that always proves eff
fective the ''fat boys" contributed lib
orally to the campaign funds. Money
even when used legitimately often
controls elections.
The side or party that presents it's
policy to the voters the most ably and
convinceingly generally wins
The majority of the people cannot be
corrupted but they may be misled.
We have striking example of this
right here in the 9TH District two
years ago. Every single active sup
porter Of Congressman Volstead pro.
fessed to believe that the "dry" law
would be repealed or greatly modified
If Volstead was not returned to Con-
gress
The women voters, probably nine
tenths of them, were won over by this
plea.
While no rea! effort was made to
change the law the same tactics are
being used again.
Outsiders, encouraged, if not actu-
ally financed by the plunderbund, in
spite of the fact that there is no real
issue or difference between the candi-
dates on that question are going to
cover this district pleading for Vol
stead's return to Congress in order to
save the dry law. To repeal or modi
fy this act would require either a ma
jority Of both houses and the sigma
ture of the President or a two-thirds
vote of the House and the Senate
which is an impossibility.
Let us keep this fact before the
voters and Volstead's days in Congress
are numbered.

FAREWELL PARTY

On Thursday evening a number of
young ladies were entertained at the
home of Misses Alice and Clara Mag
nuson in honor Of Misses Cora and
Estella Galliford. Those who enter
tanned that evening were the Misses
Alice and Clara Magnuson, Elna For
rsell and Mabel Johnson. There were
about twenty guests present at this
special occasion. The Gallford fam
lily will leave in the near future for
Yankton, S. D., at which place they
will make their home.
The Misses Galliford were given
each a silver vase as a remembrance,
not only of this evening in particular,
but also of the many other good times
they have had in this city together
with these friends. The main amuse-
ment for the evening was playing
games. Lunch was served to all be-
fore departing for their homes.

congressman, with the President con-
curing, passed Esch-Cummins' law,
clearing an additional way for the
profteers to further rob the people OF
billions of dollars, besides making 1t
impossible for industryfto thrive?
Can the voter imagine what kind of
congressman we have to pass law
making the people guarantee big dlvi-
bends to the railway stockholders
watered and all, and leave the door
wide open for the big stockholders,
who own the other trusts, to use the
other trusts to robHthe railways and
make the people pay for the robbery?
Any congressman who did not stay
en- the job night and day to fight that
Esch-Cummins bill, has something to
answer for. II person robbed the
U. S. Treasury of billions of dollars,
would we elect him to Congress? If
congressman stayed away and failed
to vote to save the people being rob-
bed by that act, should voters trust
him again? He is no better than the
man who voted for it.
1t did not require more than ordin
AIRY sense to know that the Esch-Cun-
Minis law would be disastrous to the
people. There are lot of other things
that has damaged the people, that Con-
gressmen, Legislators and Governors,
if they had exercised ordinary COM
| mon intelligence, would have seen
were bad and that they are respon
sible for. Every voter should have
printed list Of questions to ask these
men and make them answer, instead
of letting them get before audiences
and dodge by talking about any old
thing except the right ones.

SHALL WE GUESS WHAT TO DO
OR THINK AND DECIDE?
(By c. A. Lindbergh)

- y
Voters are always suspicious of
what is said and done in political cam
paigns- naturally so, since they have
been much deceived. s-> :
Blocks OF voters have voted into
power, first one set of officers, which
have failed the people, and then an
other equally disappoint ting.
For long time, the responsibility
for action has shifted from Republican
to Democratic, so many times without
either safeguarding the rights Of the
people, that it has become farce and
the voters are confused.
1t has all been a guess-this voting
and the voters have foundered ar
ound until they are disguised with all
politicians. The politicians, too, trem-
BILE with fear that they may not be
able to turn the trick again. Too often,
it is mere trick.
AS the voters discover from time
to time the old tricks, the politicians
invent adroit new schemes for turning
| the tricks. They resort to indirect
ways Neutrality-suspicious. in round alb
out course. We have examples before
us all the time
The Governor Of North Dakota, for
example, is invited to speak before
Chambers of Commerce in other sta
ties. From these places, propaganda
is spread through the press.
The North Dakota Governor may
be. perfectly honest in his effort. His
motives are not the subject of my
statements. I simply discuss the adj
roit ways Of politics that are pract:ced
to fool the people.
The press has powerful influence
with the voters by the art of sugges-
ton. The North Dakota Governors
swing around the states simply fur
nishes an example.
Originally the politicians manipu-
lated the caucus. The candidate was
| labeled with the name of his party.
Once he got that label attached to
him, it mattered not how bad a re-
dictionary he was, he would get most Of
the voters in his party. That is why
the schemers want the caucus.
That farce has continued so long
and been so disastrous, that the vot-
ers no longer trust it, so now the in
| direct method is used by the politi-
clans to supplement the old.
From the North Dakota Governors
address. we see the press staging sug-
gestions in big head lines:
NORTH DAKOTA BIDS FOR CON-
FlDENCE OF SISTER STATES"
"Quick Recovery Certain Nestos De-
clares at Faribault Celebration"
Nestos has campaign On for re-
election in North Dakota The press
follows with statements of how under
the new (NestosD management, the
credit of the state has been improved
and the confidence of the outside
world regained. 1t leaves the voters in
other states in the air, for they have
no positive information on North Da-
kota, either past or present, but the
purpose Of the press is to influence
the voter, in other states as well as
Of campaign.
Hard times have not been confined
to North Dakota They have been ev-
eryWhere.
The best way to pin politicians
down to the truth, is to cross examine
them when they make general claims
IN Minnesota, for instance, why
should we jump over state lines for
statements until we have our speakers
answer some direct questions about
matters that we know about.
