and in no uncertain manner tell
why. Editor Welles of the Worth

Editor Coughlin of the Waseca

ganda has proven one of the

that nine-tenths of the money con-
tributed to so-called near east relief
is worse than wasted was furnished
US last summer by Sumayeh Atti-
iyeh, an accomplished young lady
who lectured during the chatauqua
program in Waseca last June. In
"a private discussion of the near

sent out here were very much ex-

tributed for near east relief in this
country it was doubtful if $40 reach

The Milaca Times fellow, GRAY
ems, has a sweet disposition, to say
tAe least. As an excuse for the de-
feat of the Russian-Red-F.-L. party
at the last election he produces the
following drivel as relating to Hen
nepin and st. Louis counties: ''lt
is reported that large employers OF
labor in those counties attached a
Zip to the - October, pay checks OF
their men which notified them that
i. was the last check they woulo
receive if Coolidge was not elect
ed"
We will simply state that Cravens
has been listening to the bile be-
ing thrown off by his little tin-God
Floyd Olson. Like the balance OF
the down-state tonnage takers he
knows nothing about it but gets his
information second hand and from
those having fish to fry. We have
lived among the large employers
of tabor" for the past 35 years and
so far have failed to see any OF
that stuff pulled. Our sight may
not be as keen as some "Red" at
Milaca and if Cravens, or anyone
else, says that the October, or any
other month, pay checks were
adorned with such notification slips
here in Ely, he or they are damliars
and this includes the aforemention-
ed .tin-God. The mining companies
and others outside of the Cravens
gang, knew that the election of La
Toilette and Olson would be a cal
amity, not only here but through
out the country. The overwhelm-
ing Republican vote showed this.
The people of the ranges knew what
government ownership of railroads,
mines and utilities would do to them
and voted to effectually do away
with this menace. If the La Fol-
lette vote right here was analysed
and could be sifted, it would be
found that about all the votes. cast
for LaFollette were cast by railroad
BseH and miners-all employees of
the Steel Corporation. AS this vote
was inimical to the employer, would
it be any surprise if some of the
more pronounced Reds woul be
severed from the payroll? Had the
big companies the soul to compare
with that of the Milaca editor, this
would be done at once.
