POOR BRAKES, DANGEROUS

The following is clipped
from a Minnesota newspaper
with the name Of the party left
blank:
Mrs. called on friends in
town Wednesday. She informed
us owing to the family car being
out Of commission she was OBJ
liged to use a runabout without
a brake. We were not surprised
at the idea as Mrs. is a sue
cessful driver. and being short OF
a brake would not alarm her in
the least
II really seems strange that
any newspaper would encourage
the use Of an auto without good
brakes or rather puff up" any
body that is foolish or daring
enough to'drive a car in that con-
dition, for il there is any one
thing that is very necessary and
essential about a car ii is good
brakes, Without it many &C
cidents might happen where
they would otherwise not. Above
all make sure that the brakes are
in good condition before driving.
II is more important than to
have plenty Of gasoline.

PRE-PRIMARY CONVENTION
(By Sam Y. Gordon)

Editors Note-The article be-
low on pre-primary political
conventions as written by Sam Y.
Gordon. state expert printer and
formerly lieutenant governor. is
passed on 20 our readers for
their consideration. While the
American Is an Independent
newspaper and as such takes no
active interest in any OF the var
ious political parties, yet II would
seem to ds that this proposal OF
having two nominees for each
state office Il a good one and
might well be followed I'D by
each Of the various parties. Past
experiences prove how n man

posal OF having two convention
nominees and the manner I'm
which they are chosen will

have the usual multiplicity Of
candidates for each of the sever
al offices, with a number of in
terested personal friends boost
ing" and extolling the qualifea-
tons of each. In the past this
condition has led to bewilder-
ment of the average voter and
members of a political party
holding the same views as 10 par
ty policy find themselves divided,
not on party policy, but on can
didates in the primary election
and the real will of the party
majority too frequently loses out
and the voters are called upon to
support candidates in the cleo
ton representing the views of
the minority of the party. In
this respect the state wide
primary is at fault, for the very
important reason that party
voters holding the same or SINH
lar views as to party policy have
no way of centralizing or unit
ing their strength. 1t is idle to
talk about a repeal of the prim-
airy law, as in reality there is no
great demand for its repeal, even
though its main fault to which
| have called attention is admit
ed by the members of all politi-
cal parties.
Nevertheless, | hold that a po-
litical party as an organization
has the right to make whatever
preparation it may deem wise
for carrying on a political cam
paign. A pre-primary delegate
convention for endorsing one set
of candidates has been tried and
proved so unpopular that there
was little protest in the legisla-
ture when the bill which passed
and repealed it was up for con-
sideration. The old-time conven-
ton is in bad repute for the rea-
son that it is usually manipulated
and controlled by the organiza-
ton, or faction, in power.
Whether one is always willing
to admit it or not, in every politi-
cal party there are usually two
outstanding factions, that is to
say there are two classes of vo-
tiers, or should | say leaders, who
differ as to party policies and
likewise as to the qualifications
of candidates. The faction in
control of the party machinery
or organization usually wins out
in nominating conventions. al
though the other outstanding
faction, while a minority in the
convention, may in reality repre-
sent the views on party policy of
the majority of the rank and file
of the party membership. In or
der that both may have fair play,
| would suggest that a means be
provided whereby each shall be
permitted to unite their forces
and submit their case for the
consideration of the rank and file
of the party in the statewide

much louder and will bear more
fruit"
Mr.. Hancock threatened sever
al times TO write an article for
the Opinions Of Others" column
concerning this matter when he
noticed in the columns of the
American that there had been
some objection, but somehow he
never got around to do it. OF
course that might not have mat
tered to Askov farmers, they are
to be their own judges as to their
likes and dislikes. 1t is simply
passed on for consideration.
The matter Of publishing
cream check lists was brought up
at a meeting Of the Pine County
Bankers Association one time.
They thought it was a fine idea
and urged their various members
to persuade other newspapers in
the county to follow the example
set by the American.
Now what else could the Amer
lean think but that we were rem
dering a community service after
hearing objections but from
three local farmers and being
urged on in the work by many
local farmers as we'll as folks in
other communities? But after
the actions taken at the annual
creamery meeting we shall re-
frain from further publicity. We
have printed these lists free of
charge-without a cent Of rev.
enue simply because we desired
10 boost and attract attention TO
Ia local project, the success Of
which is vital TO farmers and
business men alike. And the sue
cess Of one helps the other. We
are all more or less united in a
community. However we shall
not waste any more time and
money setting type that is not
desired.
Assuming that the American
was doing this work in the inter
ests Of community financial up
building which was the only
motive back of it-and we fail to
see how any one can imagine or
figure out any other motive lit
would appear that it would have
been in order for the Association
TO have passed a resolution in APP
probation of what the American
had tried TO do for il, and adj
ding that, however, further pub
LEGATION of the lists was not de-
sired. Handling the matter in
that manner instead of just let
ting out n roar. CUT 1T OUT,
would not have left the sting.
Every good movement needs
publicity-the lesser important
ones and not so deserving-will
tend to il themselves that they
get it. Any live and progressive
business man knows the value
Of il.
Whether or not we are consci-
ous of it we follow publicity and
advertising to a great extent.
A man will look through the
pages of a catalog and mail an
order. lie will say advertising
doesn't pay. Didn't the mail
order house send him the catalog
10 get that order and future
orders? Everybody knows Spear
mint gum and Prince Albert
tobacco. Their sales run into
millions in a year. And.still they
continue to keep their names be-
fore the public. Why? Because
they want TO continue in bust
ness and have sales running into
the millions. Ford hasn't ceased
to advertise his road-louse al
though at present it is known the
world over. Coming nearer
home, a certain clothing store in
a Pine county town. started bust
ness about l2 years ago in a small
wooden shack. Today they have
the biggest business Of any store
within a WIDE radius. Cause?

Bingham. that keeps so many of
the right type of men from making
of coaching a career as the burden
imposed upon them of winning con-

his existence as an athletic instruc-
