IN by some small, select and even

The strongest suspicion il that
pinch-hitter Crassweller~is the man
who dragged out" Mcknight, after
which It was fairly easy to get two
union card men on the list. Organ
lied labor never has come anywhere
near putting over q ticket alone,
but 1t often has been recognized
and given union card candidate
on q mixed ticket.
To man up tree, It looks very
much as II Mr.. Crassweller mani
pulated the coming out of Nc
knight. q brother democrat and
brother lawyer, to absorb the
straight union labor vote and to
keep any OF It from going to the
Peoples Ticket" It Is especially
desired by Supt. Bentley and Madam
director Barnes to beat director
Ceofe. There was evidence that he
would get a considerable labor vote
and that evidence still exists, do
spite this class conscious, union la
Dor ticket. There also is material
evidence that Mrs. Wilson will be
given substantial labor support.
One objection to Mr.. Mcknight
Is that he is lawyer and there
already are three lawyers on the
board. II he and Mr.. Gearhart hap
pened to be elected, that would
make five. a majority of barristers
on the body. The board has more
than enough lawyers now. Aside
from that, Mr.. Mcknight has quail
fications that could be made useful If
he were elected and then refused to
knuckle to Bentley, Mrs. Barnes and
Crassweller. Messrs. Opperman and
Olson are men of character and
mighty good citizens. The objection
to them Is that they are on a
ticket that will not win. It may,
too, enable the autocrats to win.

7 and vessels Of. the Hebrews into q
golden calf. Much of that jewelry
and those vessels had been borrowed
from the Egyptians and then car
ried off by the Israelites when they
fled the country in the night, but
that's another story.
when the golden calf was pro-
| perly finished it was set up before the
Hebrew children and worshipped
| by them as the god who had led
them out Of Egypt.
Praying. dancing. singing and
1 festivities were at high tide when
Moses got back from his trip up
the mountain When he noted the
signs of radicalism and even Boil
shevism, under the patronage of
Aaron, Moses became very angry
and had a brain-storm. He threw
the tablets of stone to the ground
with sucn force and effect as to
break them into bits. He then
seized the golden calf, ground 1t
into dust and threw It upon the
waters, after which he made his
followers drink the mixture and
declare that they liked 1t.
after administering liberal doses
Of water and gold dust, Moses call
ed the house to order and COM
manded all those who stood by his
party and his policy to take their
swords-and slay those who refused
to stand by the government, so to
speak. Better than 5000 hebrews
lost their lives as result OF their
attempt to bolt Moses leadership
and to form new party.
after the killing was over and
the insurgents had properly ac-
knowledged their defeat and declared
that they would be good in the
future and obey the commands Of
Moses, the latter prayed for his
people and then secured another set
Of stone tablets on which were
written the Ten Commandments.
After that, the march to the prom
ised land was resumed and even
tually completed, although Moses
never got that far. But that's an
other story, also"
That story, by the way, not only
stung the "best people OF the
church." but 1t served to increase
their dislike and disapproyal Of
their pastor and to increase their
desire that his connection with the
First Presbyterian church Of CloQuet
come to an end.
That end at last has come and It
now is up to the Lord to call an
other preacher to the difficult and
exacting field Of labor in CloQuet.
