The old saw about politics
making strange bed fellows had
some verification Thursday when
julius Schmahl, formerly secre-
tary Of state and later a con-
tender for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor made a per-
sonal call on his successful rival.
J. A. 0. Preus. The meeting was
behind closed doors. According
to the gossips. julius would like
to succeed Mike Holm as Secre-
tary Of State. that is if the
powers that be are agreeable,
but if he preached the subject,
his excellency failed to make the
fact public. On good authority
the subject was not brought up,
If there was ever a candidate for
public office hot under the col.
lar following dis dismissal by
the last Republican state conven-
ton it was julius. Forget it
best answers what he said. but
despite it all the boys have il
that he wants to come back and
any route is acceptable. Mike
Holm. however, will get the con
vention endorsement.

POLITICAL COLUMN
by Vance Chapman Who Styles
Himself ''The County
Chairman.

The campaign for the political
control of Minnesota, it might be
said. is now on. The opening
gun was fired this week when
G. R. Adams. chairman Of the Re-
publican State Central Commit
tee. issued a call for a meeting
Of that organisation to be held
the first week in January. At
this meeting plans will be for
mulated for the Republican State
Convention which will be held
in the Twin Cities in March and
the delegate caucuses and coun-
ty conventions which will pro-
coed the big meet. The caucuses
and conventions will be the first
to be held under the new politi-
cal convention act passed by the
last legislature and naturally
considerable interest attaches to
the preliminaries. So far the
Democratic leaders have not in
dicated what the Unterrified
will do in the matter Of a state
convention. This uncertainty
likewise includes the Townley
forces and the Prohibition party
better known as the National
Party. With two Of Minnesota s
leading Republicans battling for
United States Senator and the
threatened injection of a third
into the contest for secretary OF
state the big meet should have
more or less of the old time col.
or, but if any one has in mind .
battle royal he is due to be dis
appointed. As the dope runs
the state convention is going t.
be pretty much of . ratification
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1922-01-05

and the present Republican state
administration will be the bene
ficiary. AS to the Democrats,
their one problem is the neces-
sary Official timber. Candidates
who can make a showing are
sadly lacking and the draft may
have to be restored to. All in all
it is a peculiar condition and the
chief task Of those in charge will
be the instilling of pep into the
workers. However, the Republi
can gathering will be a historic
one. 1t will be the first under
the new convention law; candi-
dates endorsed by it will be so
indicated on the primary ballot
and the platform adopted will be
one Of performance and not eva
sion. Every Republican candi
date will be pledged to the car
rying out Of the same. Chair
man Adams promises that the
big meet will be a record break
err and he generally delivers.

For the past three or four
months l have been reading Of
the plight Of so many ex-service
men. men who served their coun-
try in the late war and who now
find it impossible to secure work.
l had it brought to my attention
very forcibly about q week ago
when a young man came to my
back door and asked If we had
my odd jobs he could do and
thereby earn his breakfast.
soon found that this young man
was IN ex-soldier. had served 9

exemption because he was an
alien.
am employed by a large cor
poration in this city employing
hundreds of men. When the
United States entered the war
we had few men employed in
minor positions who were aliens.
They had their first papers and
their intentions were to some
day become American citizens.
Myself and a great majority of
the men were soon i'm the army,
many Of them giving up good
jobs to be of service to their
country. Many were married
and some had one or two chill
dren. All through the war we
served cheerfully and put up
with the hardships, thinking
that some day our services would
be appreciated and that we had
done the right thing Now that
it is over sometimes wonder if
we did.
When we returned we found
these aliens were holding down
the good jobs: they had given
ap their first papers and claimed
exemption because of being
aliens. Some even go so far now
as to laugh at us who served and
ask us if we will be as foolish
next time. Many of these men
have no dependents and are now
holding good jobs. while some of
the poor unfortunates who gave
their services gladly are facing
starvation.
They talked one time Of pass
ing a law which would return
these aliens to their own country
but you hear nothing of it now.
Of course they can never become
citizens. but is that
enough? Absolutely
not. They hold their present POI
sitions because they never
wanted to become citizens.

a stone unturned to put these

is up to us. who were lucky
enough to get job. to see that
these draft dodgers who turned
our country down flat when she
was in trouble and who now
think they have been wise in do
ing so. get their just dues. Put
them back on their old jobs or
better still. let them change
places with the ex-soldier who
cannot buy a job.

Ivan Bowen of the state rail

is probably too modest to admit
the fact, still credit is due him
in part for the recent passage by
congress of the act repeating the
tax on transportation and freight
tariffs. When the repeal was
proposed. he Immediately got
in touch with Governor Preus
and urged an appeal to the
Governors Of the various states
for assistance. A letter sent out
by Governor Preus asked for

state of Minnesota alone will
effect a saving of no less than
$4,000, 600. AS to the Northwest

The contest for Republican
convention endorsement for L
S. Senator took on added inter
est this week with the arriva
home for the holidays Of Sena
tor Frank b. Kellogg, the chic!
aspirant. Senator Kellogg at
once went into conference with
his managers and it is presumed
that the details of the coming
campaign were fully gone over
Reviewing the contest to date,
one is rather impressed by the
activity of Judge Hallam Of the
State Supreme Court. who,
though he has not made any
public statement that he would
like to succeed Senator Kellogg,
is yet at the same time about as
busy in that respect as an out
and-out candidate could be. He
is certainly not overlooking any
bets and time off from his court
duties finds him up to his arm
pits in an effort to make the
senatorial grade. That the judge
is making any substantial ad-
vance, however, is extremely
doubtful. While the word poll
tician" may be distasteful to the
judge, still he is all of that and
as a wire puller has it all over
his rival. Senator Kellogg. -He
is very likeable and has host
of friends. but as those who
know the game view it, the ma
iority Of his we'll wishers are of
the kind to whom convention
scramble is more or less dis
tasteful. Senator Kellogg IS
serving his first term and his
stewardship is his chief bid for
reimbursement. Political con-
ventions of the past have almost
invariably honored such appeals
and there is nothing to show
that the precedent will be brok-
en- this time. Quite a few are
hazarding the guess that Judge
Hallam will be on the Kellogg
band wagon before the conven.
ing Of the big Republican meet.
Who knows?
