M in their candidate, the
Y ~ friends Of Gov. j. A. o.
Preus most respectfully
solicit the support of the voters
Of Duluth, st. Louis county and
the sovereign state of Minnesota.
They believe that their choice is
the logical successor to the la
mented Knute Nelson, taking
training, experience, ability and
the welfare of the party into con-
sideration:: They also believe that
Gov. Preus has many fine and
essential qualities that should
appeal to broad-minded men in
other parties, or those liberal
minded men who are loosely held
by all party considerations. With
out invidious comparison of the
large field of aspirants to the
vacancy in the U. S. senate, they
ask and urge a most careful con-
sideration Of the merits of their
choice.
IF EVER a man fitted him
self to serve the people in pub
lie office, he is Gov. Preus. He
began at Washington, under the
plain, sound, sensible tutelage of
the beloved Senator Nelson. Be-
fore that, he received a goodly
measure of academic education.
After that, he went through the
experiences of a newly-fledged
lawyer in a country practice. Els
gracious personality and abilities,
natural and acquired, secured
him a call to the noble capitol
building. A clerical position was
followed by service as state in
suranee commissioner. Next came
election to the state authorship
by direct vote Of the people.
Now, after years of experience,
polish and steady ripening as
chief executive of the sovereign
state Of Minnesota, comes the
call from friends, citizens and
party to don the toga so quickly
and unexpected DOTTED by Knute
Nelson.
DESPITE OPINION to the
contrary, there is much senti-
ment, heart, good fellowship ard
human appreciation in politics.
The deeply mourned Senator Mel
son left vacant place in Mime
sofa that will be hard to fill.
1t was the sturdy old Vikings
fond hope that his protege, whom
he loved and trusted as an only
son, would take his place in the
upper house of national legisla-
ton. He often expressed him.
self to that effect and, presum-
ably, tentatively planned to that
end. Then, in the twinkling OF
an eye, the Grim Reaper cut him
down, leaving his work unfinish-
ed and making it the delicate
duty Of Gov. Preus to take such
legal action as might be necessary
to fill the vacancy.
DESPITE CRITICISM to the
contrary, Gov. Preus has done
his duty in tho way that seemed
right, proper and legal under the
law. After having performed his
official duty, if he seeks to step
into the senatorial shoes Of his
friend and benefaetor, to carry
on in that grand old mans
place, he is not over stepping the
rights Of any reputable American

all the details Of Gov. Preus'
acts in behalf of. those who till
the soil and toll on the farm.
IT MAY BE that full apprecia-
ton Of what Gov. Preus has done
and tried to do for Minnesota
must await another generation.
Lest you forget, dear fellow citi-
zen and voter, briefly recapitu-
late some of the reasons why be
should be nominated and elected
United States senator, viz:
FIRSTLY temperament, char
acter and training he is highly
and exceptionally fitted to take
up the work so suddenly laid
down by senator Nelson.
SEcOND-His record as gov
erner shows a fairness towards
all interests, together with q
constructive and progressive
capacity, fully warFanting the
belief that he will serve Mime
sofa equally we'll, or even better,
in the u. S. senate.
THIRD-Governor Preus' mas
terry Of diplomacy and his win
ming personality assure the state
that he will at once become as
ISOLATED with his colleagues in a
way and to degree that will
enable him to accomplish what
the state needs from it's rep
resentatives in the upper house
of national legislation.
FoURTH-The experience of
J. A. O. Preus in Washington
as secretary to and under the
tutelage of Knute Nelson has
given him a familiarity with con-
ditions which will give him q
great advantage over any other
candidate in taking up the great
work at the national capital.
FIFTH-As auditor and then
governor of Minnesota, MIR. Preus
has shown excellent judgment in
the selection of men and women
for important official positions.
If the, past really is a guide to
the future, that ability will
characteristic his official acts
in Washington.
: SIXTH-It is vital to Minnie
sofa that the deep waterway from
the Great Lakes to the sea be
opened, so that the farmers may
add from eight to ten cents a
bushel to the price they get for
their grain, and proportionate in
creases to the prices to other Of
their products that are shipped
to outside markets. Gov. Preus
seems best fitted, of all the candi-
dates, by character, training,
ability and wide acquaintance
to take up and carry to q con-
clusion the campaign for this
project.
SEVENTIES accountability
of Gov. Preus to Pres. Harding
profitably can be emphasized by
repetition. The Nations Chief
Magistrate and the leader of his
party is looking to the repub-
heans Of Minnesota to sustain his
|. hands NY: sending a senator to
Washington; in place of the la
mented.' NELSON, [: pbssessing the

citizen. If, in addition to under d,
taking to satisfy his natural and
legitimate ambition to serve his
fellow citizens in a higher posi-
ton of state, Gov. Preus is back
ed and encouraged by the best
elements in his party, then his
cause is doubly strong and sure.
IT SEEMS unkind and even
unfair to 'criticise Gov. Preus
because the late Senator Nelson
desired that his official toga
fall on the shoulders of the
younger man. That wise old
statesman did not often err in
his judgment of men. The fact
that Gov. Preus was the elder
statements choice as his successor,
bears great weight with many
Of the very best republicans in
the state, although it does not
bind them personally or as a
party. That is where the element
of sentiment exercises on influ-
ence. In supporting Gov. Preus,
they not only get behind a man
highly fitted for higher office,
but pay respect to a man who
held the hearts as well as the
votes of Minnesota republicans.
A BRIEF REVIEW of the
life history of J. A. o. Preus
may prove Of deep interest to
many who do not know him
personally. This governor candi-t
date for U. S. senator was born
Aug. %, 1883, in Columbia coun-
ty, Wis, at the old Spring Prai-
RE parsonage. He is a splendid
exemplifieation of the saying
that ''blood will tell" His pa
ternal grandfather, Bishop Her
man A. Preus, was prominent in
church circles, being widely
known as the organizer of the
Norwegian Lutheran Synod of
America, of which he was the
head until his death in 1894.
The father Of Gov. Preus was
Rev. Christian K. Preus who
first was in the ministry and
then became the president of
Luther College at DEBORAH, Iowa.
The mother of Gov. Preus vas
the eldest daughter of Rev. Owe
j. Hort, a minister for many
years at Lansing, Iowa. She was
a woman of education and cul-
ture, being a singer and pianist
of note.
JACOB ALL oTFESEN PREJS,
as this governor candidates name
reads in full, had a year of
schooling in Wisconsin and then
continued his studies at DEBORAH,
Iowa, where he eventually gradu-
ated from Luther College in 1903,
at the age Of twenty years. Turn
ing his attention to the study of
law, he graduated from the Uni
yersity Of Minnesota law school
in 1905. That fall, he went to
Washington, D. c., as messenger
to u. s. senator KHute Nelson,
to whom he finally became secre-
tary and whom he served until
1909. That Washington exper-
fence was very valuable to the
young lawyer.
RETURNING TO Minnesota,
Mr.. Preus opened q law office
at Ada, Mimi, but, soon after
wards, was summoned to st.
Paul to serve Gov. Adelph o.

FASHIONS SHAWLS

p Surely the present vogue for bril-
liant colors is finding plenty of ex-
preston in the embroidered shawls
that are charming us this winter. You
1 will see shawls that seem to be OF
no particular country or people worn
pridefully. If they are beautiful, that
is quite enough And with beauty
as a first consideration it is not
likely that any other factor will find
| its way in to mar the picture.
Excepting. of course, the way the
shawl is worn This makes all the
difference. More than ever you must
4 look to your posture when wearing
! a shawl The slightest stoop or care
lessness may give the look of a toll
worn peasant to young figure.
Hold your shoulders and head like
a queen if you would carry shawl
effectively.
There are Spanish shawls with all
the vivid colors of the country
stitched into their sweeping folds. In
Spain there are women who do moth
ing else but create these gorgeous
nantes and there seems to be no
end to the beautiful designs which
they evolve.
The longer shawl in the photo
graph is from Spain. Heavy old gold
silk crepe has been embroidered with
enormous roses in striking colors ana
smaller blossoms and buds are en-
twined in the green foliage. This
shawl, like many others of the same
type, derives its beauty from the
rich shades. of the embroidery, Here
small flower of bright crimson In
posed near to another of deep magen-
ia, while a salmon pink peony is
shaded to soft creamy white and at
intervals a gay blue flower is found
in the pattern. Such colorful shawl
would bring ravishing brilltance to a
demure dress.
sbawIs OF Different Fabric.
Then there are printed shawls from
Vienna. They are not as startling as
the Spanish sort. The coloring Is
more subdued, intense rather than
brilliant One I saw recently at
dinner had deep blue and carmine
flowers printed on a white back
ground. 1t looked like a part of
peasant Costume. In the days when
Europe was prosperous the well-to-
do peasants wore really beaut1tul
clothes on their fete days and for
wedding parties. Perhaps it had been
the best Sunday go-to-church of some
picturesque Balkan lady.
OF course we cannot all nave eX-
pensive shawls. So one girl evolved
a lovely one of green silk batiked In
yellow and purple with touches of
black. The edges were finished with
a deep fringe of green. The soft
silk swathed over her fluffy green
dress made for a certain engaging
slimness that was charming. Many
ideas will suggest themselves to the
girl who would like to create some-
thing of this sort. Perhaps some
beautiful piece of fabric that has
been treasured for the making of
some article that would do full credit
to its loneliness will come in for the
making of this fascinating adorn-
ment. often we hesitate to cut into
some material because it seems as
if it were meant to remain intact
and not a bit of its ripping folds
wasted. Now is the opportunity to
use such a length of stuff. With the
addition of a deep fringe in har-
monizing shade, truly lovely adj
iunct to ones wardrobe could be

DOMESTIC DAYS

Mr.. Rangle gazed at Mr.. Jarr in
amazement when he heard the latter
make the statement that he was an
outlaw from house and home.
"Give us the facts in the case said
Mr.. Rangle, signaling to Sol, the pro
prietor of the cigar store, to put out
the cigars.
Well" began Mr.. Jar, "a few
days ago my wife tells ne that her
mother is coming to stay while and
help her with some sewing. And l.
like a big boob, hit the ceiling and
say the old dame can't come to my
house; that I'm boss and all that sort
of thing. you know"
Yes. 1 know" said Mr.. Rangle. II
rave that way myself sometimes. But
give us all the facts"
Then" continued Mr.. Jarr. II said
to Mrs. Jarr that if her mother that
old battle ak, comes, I go! And out
l walked. Since then I've been a
wanderer. Mott / don't wander
back, you know; but 1t is at late
hour.
"Of course, Mrs. Jarr pretends to
be asleep, and she's sore anyway and
doesn't speak. Then 1 wake nervous
ly before the house is Stirring and
slip out and breakfast in a bakery
and kill time reading all the morning
papers and get down to the office so
early that they're suspicious I'm
drinking and have been up all night.
My careworn appearance bears this
out. So, as 1 said, I'm an outlaw"
i've been through it myself" re-
piled Mr.. Rangle. There's nothing
to do but surrender. You go right
home and maybe your wife's mother
will be gone andfthat will be a VIC
tory, in a way"
But, like other people who ask ad
vice, Mr.. Jarr did not follow it when
he got it. Instead he played pinochle
in a most dismal frame of mind and
spoiled his partners game and got
abuse for it, till a late hour.
Then he started home, only to dis
cover that he hadn't his keys. He
was afraid to ring the bell to his
apartment, he feared to rouse his
good wife and have the combined bat

SANTA CLAUS

The original of Santa Claus was
ST. Nicholas, bishop of Myra. Santa
Claus" is a corruption of the Dutch
San Nicholas. In Holland, Belgium,
Germany and Austria. and to lesser
extent in some other European coun-
tries ST. Nicholas Day corresponds
in it's festivities and observances to
our Christmas, so far as the young
sters are concerned.
1t is in Holland that the young
sters have the jolliest time on the
sixth of December. for there the gifts
that are usually distributed on Christ
mas are bestowed on the youngsters
on st. Nick's Day. The Saint is pic
tured as going about on white horse,
with a great pack on his back, carry
ing presents to good children. The
Dutch kiddies believe that the horse
has quite a bit of influence with st.
Nick. and so they strive to bride
him by leaving carrots on the hearth
stone for his consumption.
