Special Election
A Necessity
GOVERNOR PREUS HAD NO
CHOICE ACCORDING TO UNIT
ED STATES CONSTITUTION.

With the special election rapidly
drawing near there is a great deal of
unfavorable comment as to the right
Of Governor Preus to call such an
election. The seventeenth amendment
to the United States Constitution pro-
vides that vacancies in the senate shall
filled by a special election to be
called by the governor, unless the state
legislature shall have empowered the
governor to fill the vacancy by ap-
continent until the next election. This
authority has not been given to the
governor of Minnesota so it is very
evident that a person appointed by
the governor to fill such vancancy
could not be seated.
Campaign headquarters for Preus
have been opened in the st. Paul Ho-
tel and plans have been laid for a
hort campaign to end with the elec-
tion Monday July 16. The biggest
Job that faces the Republican commit
tee today is that of making every
Preus man and woman in the state
realize the necessity of voting at the
election. With the votes of the state
nlit three ways and with the Farm
er-Labor nartv gaining strength every
" it will take the combined effor,
every voter in the state to elect
their man.
During his term as Governor
Preus has shown his ability as pub;
lie official. 1t now remains for the
people of Minnesota to elect as their
representative in the Senate one who
is well fitted to advance the welfare
of the state in national affairs.

his lecture on "Uncle Sam and His
Folks" The speaker was introduced
by his colleague Frank Clague of
Redwood Falls.
In opening his address Mr.. Hoch
told how modern science and invention
mad drawn communities close together.
He said that the closer people live
to their neighbors the more complica-
tiens there are bound to arise. The
same influences have drawn the coun-
tries of the world together and the
same complications confront them on
much larger scale. The remedy
given for such trouble both in national
and community life is for the people
0 go to work, save their wages, and
stop quarreling with their neighbors.
The speakers said that Uncle Sam
is the biggest business man in the
world and he quoted some astounding
figures to bear out his statement.
