Chicago, that they are doing almost
everything they want TO, by way Of in

all tie different kinds to break strikes
and crush unions out of existence
and about the only thing that deterrs
them from going farther, Is the
knowledge that the Governor will

crime is the fact that they are union

lie has carried into effect, the most
humane and benefcent parole system
Of any executive of any great state In
this nation, or any country In the
world, Notwithstanding the fact that
eighty-seven out of every one hun
bred prisoners that the Board work
ing under him) have pardoned or
paroled, with the Governors APP
provaD have made good, and are now
honest, respectable citizens, keeping
their families. The Tribune gang,
aided and abetted by some silk stock
ing, pink tea dilletante hypocntes OF
the feminine gender, are picking out
some of the cases of the thirteen who,
unfortunately did not make good, and
they are condemning the Governor,
and in so doing, they may destroy
that law, which means that they
would condemn the eighty-seyen poor
devils (who- it may be, did not have
a chance in lfe) who through being
given the chance under this law, are

a life within prison withdrawing
animals out of them and enemies OF

He has not always been able to give
US what we wanted in many respects,
but he has always given us a hearing,
and these things indicate what have
found to be true-that he has a big
human spot in him, more than any
chief executive ! have ever had any
experience with in our state, and l
expect as time goes on, and he gets
better acquainted with the work In
that position, that he will exert that
kind of influence more than he has IN
the past.
Ordinarily because this state is
Republican by a large majority, who
ever wins in the Republican primaries,
will be Governor of this state for the
next four years. At least those who
are defeated in that contest, will be
out of the race.
The only way that the workers can
be sure that they are using their
votes in the most effective manner to
defeat the reactonaries that make up
the Tribune faction of the Republican
party, the most bitter enemies that
labor has in this state mccormick,
Brundage, Essington, and their lesser
allies and satellites, Wilkerson,
Grove, Raber, Dudly Taylor and Otis
GLENN is to go to the polls in the
primary election and vote for the can
didates on the Republican ticket, who
are opposing those enemies.

port states that children have been
influenced by this law to complete
the educational requirements in full
time schools rather than go to work
and attend part-time courses. A de-
crease in the number of children TAX
ing out employment certificates since
1920 is likewise explained by the con-
tinuation school law.
If the continuation school law is
decreasing child labor in New York,
it should work equally well in other
states. But to be effective, it must
have public opinion strongly behind 1t.
Any state can stop child labor if it
really wants to and if the enormity OF
the evil of making children toll in
mine, mill and factory is thoroughly
realized.
DR.. Frank Crane, who writes pro-
ILLEGALLY on everything under the sun,
saying osme wise things and a lot of
foolish things, takes up his pen to
write "In Praise of the Pretty Girl
'The other day on street car"
writes the Doc, 81 saw two girls, each
about twenty years old, both very
beautiful. They were clothed in
modish robes, becoming hats and
pretty shoes. Their faces were of a
delicate pink and white. They were
well fed, their eyes were happy and
their mouths were curved in smiles
1.-THE other women on the crowded
car we're ordinary. They all had hard
and somewhat unpleasant faces,
lined with care and sagged with
worry. Their garments were coarse.
They were not goot to look upon"
Then the Doc proceeded to ask.
what is the meaning of the Pretty
Girl"
Just how this question should be
answered is hard to tell, but there is
not much doubt what contributes to
the making of pretty girl. That
thing is economic well being. AL
things considered, the girl who is
brought up in a well-to-do family has
a better chance of becoming pretty
woman than does one who is brought
up in family doomed to poverty and
grinding toll.
Perhaps unwittingly, Mr.. Crane
virtually says the same thing himself,
when he observes that the two girls
were "wel fed" and when he re-
marks that the other women on the
car wore coarse garments and had
faces lined with care and worry. In
other words, the two pretty girls had
had the opportunity to grow up as
beautiful human beings, while the
others had not had the opportunity.
When society evolves to a point
where every family has the good
things of life, there will be more OPP
portunities to write an Praise of
the Pretty Girl" because there will
be so many more of the aforesaid
pretty girls than there are at present.

SHIPSTEAD TELLS
HOW PEOPLE ARE
FOOLED TO VOTE

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C. March 20.-Poli-
ticians use the same bait, year after
year, under different names, to fool
the workers and farmers into voting
for Privilege, Senator Shipstead OF
Minnesota, told the Senate in speak
ing on farmer relief. After warning
that the farmers of the Northwest
demand real help, not mere promises,
Senator Shipstead said:
1--WE in the Northwest have hal the
experience in past years of having
slogans and camoufage legislation
enacted for us in order to lead the
American people to the polls that we
might vote in the way special privi-
lege wanted Us to vote. When |
think how, election after election,
they have done that | am always re-
minded of a neighbor on our farm
when / was a little boy. He drove
a yoke of oxen, and those oxen were
not very well trained. They never
would start when he wanted them 10
start, and they never would stop
when he wanted them to stop. So,
in order TO enable him to make them
go he carried an ear of corn. When
ever he wanted them to start ne
would take the ear of corn ouc and
bangle it in front of their faces. Then
that yoke of oxen would start and
move. Then he would go in the oi-
rection he wanted them to go, dang
ling that ear of corn before them.
When he came to the place where he
wanted them to stop he would put
that ear of corn in his pocket, and
that yoke of oxen never got the corn.
Il am always reminded of that ear
of corn and that farmer when | see
how In political campaigns politicians
representing special privilege go out
and try to lead the American people
to the polls. They may try to do that
with this bill, if it is passed. but | am
saying that it cannot be done. Ii
cannot be used for that purpose, be
cause we have been led too often in
that way. Always before a campaign
some kind Of legislation is passed In
order to satisfy and mollify the peo-
pie, and then before election pohti-
clans viii go out with their ear Of
corn in their pockets, and about two
or three weeks before election they
hold that ear of corn out before the
peoples faces. Sometimes they call
1t one thing, sometimes they call it
another; but it makes no difference
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-03-28

what they call Il. because Il Is always
the same old ear Of corn.
1T may be true that TINS Is intend
ed to be used as an ear d corn N
the coming campaign, but | want 10
assure Senators that il Is going 20
take more than an ear Of corn TO get
the people to vote with you this uue.
We want a bill that viii give the
farmers a fair price for their prod
ucts. They cannot borrow themselves
out Of debt. Trey must have price
above the cost Of production

Workers in all lines of industry
should be interested in the safety
work of the National Industrial Con
ference Board, with headquarters in
New York City.
The board has formulated safety
codes to reduce factory accidents, In
cooperation with the United States
Department of Labor, the National
Safety Council and other organi2a-
tions, in an endeavor to largely re
duce the number of accidents, which,
it is estimated, take an annual toll
of $1,000 lives in the United States.
Organized labor and safety work
ers have long known that industrial
accidents are largely preventable and
that the greed of short-sighted and
selfish employers has stood in the way
of safety. Whether the National
Industrial Conference Board will sue
coed in getting industry to adopt lis
safety codes and live up to them re-
mains to be seen.

Election Returns
Show Change
CHRISTIANSON, NOLAN, OLSON,
SCHALL APPARENTLY NOMIN-
ATED RESULT IN DOUBT.

The result of the state wide prim-
ary election in way has some sur
prising results. The vote was ex-
tremely light, the lightest in a num-
Der of years. Theodore Christensen
of Dawson, the Republican nominee
took an early lead and was never
headed in his party. w. 1. Nolan,
the Republican candidate for lieuten-
ant governor won over the other men
handily. These two men extremely
we'll known, capable and efficient will
head their state party ticket next
fall.
The Farmer-Labor gubernatorial
race was and is thriller. Tom Davis
led for days only to have Floyd B. Oh
son forge ahead and lead by few
votes. The official return has not
been completed and the contest be-
tween these two candidates may yet
wax warm. Threats of contesting
the electing are being breathed.
Tom Schall, blind congressman,
forged ahead of HaHam and is ap-
parently winner as he has lead of
over 1000 votes for the U. S. Senate.
Johnson Of Red Wing and Wilson,
incumbent, will race for the chief
justiceship of the Supreme Court and
Stone. Holt Fraser and Anderson
will contest for the two associate
justiceships open.

Redwood County was in the path
of the storm which surged over this
section of the state last Sunday af-
ternoon, the particular trail Of the
storm in this section being a few
miles east and south of Walnut Grove
to Balaton. The village of Walnut
Grove was untouched but a number
of farms in that immediate vicinity
were badly damaged, several of the
farmsteads being completely wreck
ed. At Tracy and in that vicinity
considerable more damage was done
and John Edwards and his small son
lost their lives and other members of
the same family were badly
injured. The only person in
jured in Redwood County was Mrs.
R. j. Gotschalk and she. is making a
good recovery from her injuries.
The storm broke about five o'clock
and making a clean swath about a
fourth of mile in width and many
miles in length. 1t swept everything,

Note: From the above comparison of
figures we may readily see that from
the total tax which Mr.. Troska pays
on his home quarter Of land about
twice as much goes for good roads as
for school purposes including the
money required by the state for edu-
cational purposes. The above tax for
good roads does not include the auto
mobile tax which goes to build and
maintain the trunk highways known
as the Babcock Roads.
l. No new roads until our financial
conditions are better. Finish the
the roads already started.
Maintain the roads already built
or under construction. Curb
road expenses in both county and

II. The state Farm Bureau investi-

to reorganization of depart

overlap.
III. The term of school should not
be shortened.
School buildings should be kept
in good repair but no new ones
built unless it is absolutely
necessary.

pay accordingly. Inexperienc-

Chau. Audiences
Well Entertained
HON. JOHN KETCHAM ONE OF
HEADLINERS. ALL PRO-
GRAMS INTERESTING.

Redwood Falls annual Chautauqua
season opened Saturday afternoon
with a miscellaneous program of
merit Every number since the open
ing one has also possessed consider
able merit and the season promises
to be a most satisfactory one. 1t
closes next Thursday evening with
the popular little play, "The First
Year.
The Monday evening lecture was
given by Congressman John Clark
Ketcham of Michigan who gave a
stirring and inspiring talk on "Sta-
balizing American Integrity. The
address was of especial interest to
Redwood Falls and Redwood County
citizens since Mr.. Ketcham is col
league of Congressman Frank Clague,
the two having worked side by side
Agriculture. During his address Mr..
Ketcham took the opportunity to make
some very splendid statements con-
corning Mr.. Clague's status in Con-
gress, his work as an important mem
Der of this important committed and
his general worth as statesman.
Mr.. Ketcham's talk carried a note of
optimism which was much appreciat-
ed by an audience accustomed to hear
much destructive criticism of the gov
ernment and much depressing pro-
poganda concerning conditions in
America. The speaker was introduc-
ed by Congressman Clague.
The Sunday evening lecture by Lin
nn1n MnTo e
been most popular one, those at
tending speaking in the highest terms
both of its content and of the hum
orous and eloquent way in which it
was presented. The Sunday after
noon concert by the Skibinsky Ensem-
BILE was also we'll received. The Bat
ting Mailer Entertainers of Monday
afternoon gave an interesting and
well rendered musical program and
also a clever little prelude to Mr..
Ketcham's talk in the evening. The
catchy war play "Buddies" was well
received by the Saturday evening
audience.
One of the most interesting num-
bers of the program is undoubtedly
the lecture on The East and West
given by Sumayeh Attiyeh, native of
syria, who gives the program this
(Tuesday) afternoon. The afternoon
prelude will be given by the Woods
Symphonic Band, and this organiza-
tion gives the complete evenings
program. The Wednesdays after
noon program will be given by the
Edward Clarke Concert Company, and
the evening program consists of
prelude by this company and a lee
ture by DIR. James L. Gordon. The
Junior Chautauqua Play will be given
Thursday afternoon followed by a
miscellaneous program by the Emer-
son Winters Company. The evening
program will consist of the presenta-
tion of The First Year.

Redwood County in Path
Of Sundays S Big Storm

instances uprooting whole groves
that the southside farmers of Redwood
County have been years in growing.
All buildings on six farms were prac-
tically demolished. These farms are
owned be Hans Sanbo, Merle Bell,
R. j. Gottschalk, Mr.. Smith, VIM.
Perrin and Aug. Wohlschlag. On the
Floyd Bell farm everything was
wrecked except the house. Practic-
ally the same condition was true on
the Martin Peterson farm, the H.
Riley farm, the A. Freeberg farm,
and the John Bakken farm. On the
Ben Clark farm the house was lifted
from it's foundation but is still stand
ing while all other buildings were
wrecked. The Bert Root farm was
also in the path of the storm and
suffered serious damage. The T.
Hensel farm also sustained damage,
a fine grove on this farm being among
the wreckage.
The tornado pursued a zig-zag
course from near Lake Benton to the
north of st. Peter, sweeping across
Lincoln, Lyon, Redwood, Brown and
NicOllet counties, skirting towns and
cities, uprooting trees, demolishing
houses and barns, killing cattle and
running crops. Besides the two peo-
pie killed near Tracy there has been
one death near Montevideo, when
Arthur Grant, young farmer, was
struck by lightning and killed. The
fact that the tornado was visible for
miles enabled many people to
get into cellars and this undoubtedly
kept down the loss of life.
