until 500 P. M. Monday morning, al

Ma or General O'Bryan General
Counsel of the Senatorial Committee
investigating the Veterans Bureau)
were among those who addressed the
Monday morning session.
At 80 the vets left for St. Paul
where they were guests during the
afternoon. The local boys stated
that the Sanity city did everything
possible to make their short visit
enjoyable.
Three thousand disabled veterans
marched in the parade which formed
Tuesday morning at 1000 o'clock.
Many limped and hobbled the entire
distance on canes and crutches.
One hundred and twenty-five automo-
oiles had been provided to take them
over the route but every man who was
able to walk preferred to do so. Less
of every sort Of disability; minus one
leg, or one arm, blind men, and en-
aciated men whose lungs were burnt
out with gas, were in the procession.
1t is stated that Minneapolis had seen
no such demonstration since the vic
torious return of the 151st Artillery.
In the review stand were MINIS. Ern-
estine Schumann-Heink who came all
the way from California at her own
expense to attend the convention,
and who gave a free concert for the
men and their friends in the armory
Tuesday night; Major General H. D.
B. Ketchen, representing the Canad-
ian government; Major General John
F. Organ, General Counsel of the
Senatorial Committee investigating
the Activities of the Veterans Bur-
ca; Rabbi Michael Aaronsohn, blind
Chaplain of the organization, and
members of the National Executive
Council.
rOiIoWllS tile pdIduC iuiCiiCVii was
served from the Field Kitchen furn-
ished by the 151st Field Artillery.
At 200 P. M. Thursday afternoon,
the convention convened and was op-
ened by invocation by the National
Chaplain after which National Com
mander C.. Hamilton Cook delivered
the Commanders messages.
Immediately following Commander
Cooks speech, Frank T. Hines, Di-
rector of the U. S. Veterans Bur-
eau was listed on the program for an
address. Director Hines was not
present but had sent Williah Wolfe
Smith, General Counsel of the Vet
Grams Bureau to represent him at the
convention. While the disabled Vets
were somewhat disgruntled at the
failure of Director Hines, to attend,
Mr.. Smiths short, snappy speech was
well received, a noticeable difference
from the kissing given Director
Forbes last year at San Francisco,
indicating that at the present time
there is an amicible feeling between
the Disabled Vets Organization and
the Federal Veterans Bureau, even

Nine People Have Mar
row Escape from Death
in Auto Collision Sunday

An automobile accident which
could have had very serious and fatal
results, occurred three miles south OF
Sank Centre about 700 o'clock Sun
day evening, July LIST. An Oakland
touring car owned by Matt Polipnick
was struck by Ford touring car driv-
en- by Frank Hens of Belgrade. The
Polipnick car was travelling east and
had just turned north around the
corner near the Pesheck place when
it was rammed by the Ford which
was coming south and down the hill
which is quite steep at that place, at
a speed that is estimated to be about
35 miles an hour. 1t is stated that
the Polipnick machine was not trav-
cling at any great rate of speed. The
Oakland was driven by Amandus Pol
ipnick, a son, and the passengers, be-
sides the driver, vera Mr.. and Mrs.
Matt Polipnick, Mr.. and Mrs. l..
Becthold, of st. Joe q I'd Miss Regina
Unger of Sank Centre. Frank Hens
of Belgrade, the Ford driver, was &C
companied by three other young
men about his own age.
The Polipnick car had started to
make the turn at the corner, and al
though headed north had not COM
pleted the turn so that the left hind
wheel of the car was struck first, the
shock of which tore loose the rear
springs, the front Universal joint,
and the brake rods, swinging the
rear axel at an angle with the car so
that the propeller shaft stuck out
from under the left hind running
board. The Oakland is practically a
complete wreck.
The side-swiping motion with which

Party Somnolence is
Threatening Disaster
Danger to Republican Fortunes Can
. Only be Dissipated by Vigorous
Action of All Good Citizens

There is one phase or the Sena-
torial Campaign that is giving Re-
publican leaders more concern than
anything else and that is the lack Of
interest displayed in the senatorial
election as shown in the light vote
cast at the primaries. Analysis Of
the complete figures recently COM
piled, show that there are grave
chances of defeat unless the support
ers of the party's progressive policies
shake off the lethargy which charac-
terized their attitude in the initial
contest and get into the game with
their coats off and sleeves rolled up,
ready to put every ounce of strength
into the final decision, July 18th.
The Republican party is seen in
the guise of a giant who has become
so sure of his strength that he stretch
es out like CULVER and sleeps while
combination of smaller influences
paralyze his strength in web of
Lilliputian threads.
All Minnesotans, who have the in
terests of progressive Republicans at
heart, are admonished to exert every
influence, leave no act unperformed
no effort untried, to poll every favor
able vote from the largest down to
the smallest precinct.
Party leaders cherish the hope that
the country press, which has always
stood for sensible progress, will bring
the people of their communities to a
realization of the situation and awak-
en- them to full comprehension Of
their responsibilities. M
This is not a "scare" story. It rep
resents the true state of affairs, told
without any attempt to exhibit an
optimism for which there is no war
rant.
In Minnesota reposes the potential
strength to elect Republican Sena-
tor and up to the present time
Proposes" is the word that accurately
characterizes its attitude. What is
needed is an explosion of energy that
will blast this inaction and awaken
the party to a full exercise of its
strength.
That, and that only, will insure to
Minnesota the representation in the
United States Senate to which is is
truly entitled.

it struck the Oakland, caused the Ford
to turn turtle and break the right
hind wheel besides demolishing the
top. The damage to the Ford was not
as great as would naturally be ex-
pected but the occupants of the
Ford car must have been thrown for
ward with considerable force as the
key was bent so that it could not be
removed from the switch.
Matt Polipnick was thrown out of
the Oakland car, but beyond bruises
was not injured to any great extent.
His wife suffered from scalp wound
about three inches long on the right
side of her head. The other occu-
pants of the car did not need medical
attention.
Two of the people in the Ford were
injured. Frank Hens of Belgrade,
the driver of the Ford had cut and
bruise over his right eye. Fred M !.
Kuefer of Ell Rosa apparently suf-
fered the greatest injury as he had
his right arm broken at the wrist :.
Besides bad shaking up, few bruises,
and the shock of their nervous sys-
TENS, the other occupants of the two
cars received no apparent injuries,
whichis really remarkable considering
the nature of the accident.
The injured people were brought to
the Sank Centre Hospital where they
were given immediate attention, and
it is certain that no fatalities will re-
suit from the collision.
The Herald understands that Mr..
Hens assumes the responsibility for
the accident, admitting that he was
driving too fast. 80

though the vets did not feel that the
work has been carried out in just the
way they would like to have it, and
that there has been too many appar-
emily unnecessary delays in rehabili-
tation and proper disqualification.
This feeling did not extend to all
members of the organization it is
understood, and Judge Robert Marx

organization lead the opposition
