The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-10-09
THOMAS SCHALL

Thomas Schall, Republican candi-
date for the United States Senate
from Minnesota, made his first visit
to Sank Centre Tuesday.
In the primary election the Herald,
like most Sank Centre citizens, sup
ported Judge Oscar Hallam, of St.
Paul for this exalted position.
At the primaries Schall received a
surprising vote in this city in view
of the fact that there was no one in
this section apparently standing
sponsor for his candidacy.
1t is not violating any confidence
when the Herald states that Tom
Schall's nomination for the United
States Senate over Judge Hallam
and former State Senator Ole Sgeng
of Otter Tail county was acknow-
lodged with Indifference upon the
part of great majority of the Re-
publican voters of Sank Centre.
Mr.. Schall was advertised to adj
dress the citizens of Sank Centre on
the streets of this city Tuesday of
this week at noon.
This is very poor hour to get an
audience for a political address but
Tom Schall started with an audience
of about 200, most of whom had not
had their lunch. For two hours and
ffty-siX minutes he held his audience.
expounding simple, pure Americanism
and driving home telling arguments
Prefacing his remarks Mr.. Schall
stated that for the past eight years
he had been a member of the rules
committee of the house of Repre-
sentatives as Republican, which, in
the last analysis, in the true test of a
members party fealty.
1t is only fair to state that the
people of Sank Centre knew but lit
tie about Congressman Schall-they
had figured that he had been elected
as Congressman from the Tenth
Minnesota District year after year
simply because he was afflicted with
blindness.
The Herald admits that we were
prejudiced against him. But-all
we knew about him was the adverse
criticism we had read about him
and we were curious to know what
sort of man he really was.
There have been any number of
political addresses made in this city,
but the Herald is convinced that no
man ever talked to the voters of Sank
Centre who more completely sold him
self than did Tom Schall on Tuesday.
He has wonderful grasp upon af-
fairs. In the past he has broken with
his party because he believed the
leaders were wrong, blu upon all vital
matters Tom Schall has voted with his
party He is a fighter of the Roose-
welt type, and any one hearing him
speak cannot help but be impressed
with his sincerity of purpose, his
grasp of public questions and one
who is endowed with courage to
stand for what he is convinced is
right.
In July 1923 II per cent of the
voters of Minnesota elevated Magnus
Johnson, the Kimball farmer, to the
United States senatorship The cleo
ton of Johnson did not reflect the
sentiment of Minnesota but was mere
ly a protest vote against man who
was trying to foist himself upon the
people of the state as the heir APP
parent of deceased senator.
Magnus has clowned through one
session; in his only activities

that this great state should be repre-
sented by at least one man of real
ability in the United States Senate.
This can be accomplished by voting
for Tom Schall, the real friend of
the farmer and laboring man, on cleo
ton day.
