FOR THE u. S. SENATE
DISTINGUISHED JURIST WILL
START ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
AT ONCE
IS SPLENDIDLY QUALIFIED
RECORD AS SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE ABLE AND UN-
BLEMISHED

beginning to boil merrily and every
indication points to a very strenuous
campaign for the nomination of the
various state offices.
President Calvin Coolidge has been
endorsed by the Republicans for pres
ident, and William McAdoo will UNI
doubtedly have the endorsement of
the Democrats. The Farmer-Labor
convention to be held in July will
back the candidacy of Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin as third party
candidate for the nations chief ex-
ecutive.
Ole Sangeng dirt farmer and form
er State Senator of Ottertail county,
has filed as a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for the United
States Senate. Ottertail county will
also have two other prominent candi-
dates for state office in the persons
of Attorney General Clifton L. Hilton
of Fergus Falls and o. P. B. Jacob
son, present Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner, who will file as can
didate for governor.
In the campaign of 1922 Judge
Oscar Hallam was candidate for
United States Senator, before the
convention that finally nominated
Frank Kellogg to succeed himself.
After Mr.. Kellogg's nomination,
Judge Hallam accepted his defeat
gracefully and did everything in his
power to return Mr.. Kellogg to the
senate.
Following the death of United
States Senator Nelson last year, Judge
Hallam resigned his position as as
sociate justice of the Supreme Court,
(something unusual by the way, for
an officeholder to do when they
become candidates for another Of
fce), and became a candidate for
the United States Senate before the
special primary election held last
June. In this campaign Judge Hallam
was the runner-up to Gov. Preus and
when all conditions are taken into
consideration, made most wonder
full showing.
There has been persistent demand
for months, from the country press
and many leading citizens, that Judge
Hallam should again allow his name
to go before the people as a Republic
can candidate for the Upper House of
Congress. He is high type of
American citizen, with splendid abili-
ty and is ideally qualified to make a,
high class United States Senator.
Judge Hallam has finally yielded to
the Glamour of his friends, and on
Tuesday of this week he became an
active candidate by filing with Secre-
tary Of. State Mike Holm for the
place.
In announcing his candidacy Judge
Hallam made the following straight
forward and manly statement which
should and no doubt will, appeal to a
large percentage of electorate of the,
state.
Gin filing as candidate for the of
flee of United States Senator, am,
deeply appreciative of the response
bilities involved. The public ques-
lions before the American people are
big ones. Now, more than in many
years it is the duty of public men
generally to submerge petty differen-
ces. To rise to great public emer-
gencies and deal in a big way with
the personal problems of the times.
The Republican party has been in
power for forty-eight cut Of the last
sixty-four years. 1t has made mistakes
but year in and year out it has been
the best reliance for the country for
wise and progressive legislation and
it is the best hope of the country to-
day.
"The National Republican party
has not yet spoken in its platform,
but I shall stand for what conceive
to be Republican principles. l shall
stand the speediest possible adjust
ment of our foreign relations without
cancellation of debts justly due to us.
/ shall stand for the efforts the Repub-
lican party is now making to give to
agriculture its fair share Of the coun-
try's prosperity. l shall stand for
the recognition of the just rights OF
labor, with due respect to the rights
of capital. / shall stand for the dis
charge Of the obligations which the
United States owes to its soldiers. !
shall stand for the reduction of tax
alton as far as consistent with the
discharge of our just obligations, and
the adjustment of tax free privileges
of all securities. shall stand for the
American institutions, for the integ-
rity of the constitution of the United
States, and against those who shall
detract from it or tear it down. For
the just enforcement Of it's laws, and
especially for the rigorous punish
ment of all those who prove false to
the trust the public has reposed in
them.
Mr.. Hallam will open headquarters
at once and will make an active and
keen campaign for the place, cover
ing practically every section of the
state.
Rev. S. S. Wyand is spending, to-
day, Thursday at Wadena attending
a district meeting.
