FOUR MONTHS OF CHAOS

1t does not take very strong imag.
ination to figure out what would hap.
pen in this country if it had to go
through four months of chaos while
dragging the election of a President
of the United States through Con,
gress.
That is just what is likely to hap.
pen if the voters Of Minnesota do
not return a republican victory on
November f.
Minnesota is pivotal state in this
election, it's IL electoral votes may
mean the election of Coolidge, and If
they fail to go for Coolidge, it may
mean that the election of President
will be thrown into Congress-
Does any sane voter in Minnesota
want to turn over to Congress the
duty of choosing the President of the
United States?
That is a question that should make
every voter stop and think.
We all know how even the general
election every four years unsettles all
lines of business-hits the laborer and
the farmer, as we'll as those engaged
in other industries. What then
would be the result of a tie-up in the
electoral college and the dragging
through Congress the choice of Pre-
sident.
There is absolutely no hope of the
election of either Davis or LaFollette.
Both know that they do not stand :

the votes Of the people on November
L. All either of them hope to do is
to win enough votes In the electoral
college to tie up the election and thus
throw the choice of President into
Congress. 1t Is their only possible
chance to beat Coolidge.
If the voters of Minnesota don't
want to turn the election of the Pre-
sident over to Congress. which with
the present political makeup, would
result in a tie in the House and the
election of Vice President in the
Senate, who would become President
on March 4, then they must vote for
Coolidge.
The voters will either elect the
President on November 4, or Congress
will take the Job off their hands and
do 1t for them.
The voters can elect Coolidge Pre-
sident, or eventually have Congress
give them Bryan of Nebraska, after
four months Of chaos.

Department Commander Edwin
Lindell of the American Legion has
formulated a number of "things to
remember" for Legion posts. Here
are some of the items on his pro-
gram.
Elect new officers as soon as pos
sible. Plan an Armistice Day cele-
bration. Prepare for Education
Week, November 1924, inclusive.
Every post is expected to do
something for it's community and
should develop at least one note
worthy community project during
the year.
If your post has no Boy Scout
Troop, investigate ways and means
of organizing one. If possible have
your post represented at the Min
nesota-Mchigan football game Lee
gion rally November /, and at the
banquet which will follow in the
evening.
Fay your Legion Hospital Asso-
citation dues-25 cents per member
AS soon as possible. These dues
may be collected as membership re-
newals are made.
The Legion has laid the founda-
ton for a worthwhile child welfare
program. Let US see that it is car
ried through to a successful conclu-
sion.
Along citizenship and American
ism lines, emphasize Q) Respect
for the ballot and exercise of the
privilege of the vote. (2) Sustain
ed interest in the AUGMENTATION
of aliens. 60 Essay contests in the
schools.
Remember that Legionaires are
pledged to obtain and insure justice
for the disabled.
To accomplish it's aims, the Le-
gion must have a large membership
and an active membership. How
many posts will follow the example
of Victor Cornell Post of Pelican
Rapids, which last week went out
and enrolled 81 members for 1925
five more than 1924? Will your
post have exceeded it's present mem
bership by November 11th-Arm-
istice Day? Lud Roe of Montevideo
is director of membership. Keep
time with him.
Last, but not least--Help Get Out
The Vote! -
