Ole O. Sageng is being attacked in an open
letter by John Powell Of Minneapolis the
ground that he never has been republican until
this campaign The charge is bolstered by re-
cital Of Mr.. Sagengs record candidate in
previous campaigns. The record is correct far
as it is stated, but it does not tell the whole
story which should include the candidates activi-
ty as republican campaigner for the past 10
years. The record quoted shows that in 1896
1898 and 1900 Mr.. Sageng a populist can
didate for the house in Otter Tail county, and the
last time was elected, that in the 1901 session
he voted against Knute Nelson and Moses E.
Clapp; that he was elected to the senate in 1906
as a populist, and ran as an independent can
didate for congress in 1908. In 1910 he was re-
elected to the senate as an independent candidate
for congress in 1908. The Legislature was then
taken out of the party column, and in 1914 he was
reelected to the senate without party designa-
ton" Meanwhile he had joined the progressive
party in 1912 and campaigned for Roosevelt, and
through that door came into the republican party.
In 1914 he campaigned for William E. Lee for
governor, and in 1916 for Hughes and Burnquist.
In every campaign since he has been on the
stump for republican candidates. In 1918 he was
reelected to the senate, with Martin w. Odlund,
now farmer-labor candidate for congress in the
tenth district, as the Nonpartisan league candi-
date against him. Mr.. Sageng was to all intents
the republican candidate and won after hot
fight Minneapolis Journal

LULLABY TO MOTHERS

If had my way, as way I should,
You'd live in house of polished wood;
Rugs the floor, and color on the wall
And scent Of rosemary ALL
You'd sleep in bed of eiderdown
Men would come for to see from the town,
While women would stare and jealous grow
AT sheet and counterpart smooth as snow
And o, you would sleep so well, my dear;
Long as the hours, and soft, and clear
AS stars that hang in velvet night
To make for you candle light.
Never a care, nor "bothersome stuff"
Save perhaps if the grass had dew enough,
Or perhaps if the flowers tended by the bee
And the house was furnished with rosemary.
Pretty, properly, slver-white
AS the new half-moon on young June night,
Your hair would turn, but your heart still run
Like childs first laughter when the days begun.
Never care? All, well, let's see
There'd be always your son, o mother of me.

"A Sweet Relief

William Allen White in Emporia
Gazette: We have in mind right now
two or three college graduate friends
who know the rules of grammar, and
in written composition they never
make a slip. But when they begin
to talk, particularly when they get
little excited and talk fast, the old
bad habits of speech in which they
were brought up come to the surface
through the thin veneer of college
training and they go gaily forward
leaving behind them a trail Of mis-
placed adverbs, misnumbered verbs
and miscased pronouns to make the
shade of Lindley Murray weep.-Iola

that spells rebellion, that gives the

The Gazette editor has never been an ad-
vocate of capital punishment but in all honesty
we must admit that had the Franks murder
taken place in Minnesota we should most GER
tainly want it to be possible to electrocute the
murderers. If ever there were a murder with
out one extenuating circumstance this most GER
tainly is that murder. The fact that these two
young men, of more than average intelligence,
had plotted for weeks against this death of a
child, against whom they apparently had not one
thing in the world, entities them to any and all
punishment the courts can give them. Above
all we hope the case will not be so juggled that
IT becomes another Thaw case
