the political factors, there are
certain matters of sentiment in

considerable number want the
subject considered solely as a
business issue.

and conducted conferences for

gram of the Council.
The good people Of Willow Riv-
er served dinner and supper in
their dining room in the church
basement for which the visiting

thanks.

ABLE ADDRESS
BY GOVERNOR
About 1900 People Heard
Gov. Christianson
Speak Here.

Friday was a big day in Askov
when about 1900 people heard
Governor Theodore Christianson
give a splendid address at the
park.
Mr.. Christensen was met at
the noon train from the south by
a large delegation Of citizens
who were glad to welcome him
to the community. The band
was also on hand and played a
good snappy march just as he
alighted from the train. The
Governor was taken to the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. c. Petersen
for dinner. Besides the hosts
other members Of the dinner par
ty were Senator A. s. Larson and
County Attorney Albert Johnson
who had accompanied the Cover
nor on the train from Sandstone
up and the editor Of the Ameri-
can.
Following the dinner and a
little rest the Governor came to
the park where the band had
been entertaining the crowd that
was gathering. At $50 l.. c. Pc

State Legislature. introduced Mr..
Christensen and spoke Of the
time that both were members Of

ant Appropriations committee.
Mr.. Petersen said that Mr.. Christ
hanson was a man who knew
what he wanted and wanted
what was right. He worked for
economy and not only preached
| 1t but practised il. Mr.. Peder-
sen also said he felt very satisfied
when the news flashed over the
wires Of Mr.. Christianson's cleo
tion last fall that the reins Of the
state government were in good
hands. What comes from Lac Qui
Parle county is good and Askov
can vouch for that in the two
sturdy Petersen brothers. far
mers who came TO this communi-
| ty from Mr.. Christianson's coun-
ty about 10 years ago. said Mr..
Petersen.
The Governor expressed APP
probation of the cordial welcome
TO Askov and the good introduc-
ton. He said that sometimes
introductions may be too good
and again the opposite may be
true. citing an incident OF few
years ago when he lecturncd at
a chautauqua. The introducer
said that the year before the
| finances did not turn out we'll so
this year they had decided TO get
some cheaper speakers.
Mr.. Christensen spoke for
about an hour and was accorded
splendid attention throughout.
His powerful voice and choice
English oratory that will class
him as a second William Jennings
Bryan--was beautiful to listen to.
and he also brought a message
words for afterthought and mcdi-
tation. There was no touch OF
politics throughout his discourse
which at times also was humor-

Washington, Aug. 12.-Though
political affairs are at low ebb
at the nations capital these days,
the topic heard at golf clubs and
in governmental offices is who
is the real leader of the Demo-
cratic party. Ordinarily, the
subject of party leadership would
not provoke much interest so
early in the season. The passing
of William Jennings Bryan, who
was unquestionably a figure in
party councils, has forced the
matter to the fore.
Interviews with a number of
Senator'S, Congressman and other
prominent Democrats shows that
nobody is willing to reveal, with
any degree of certainty at this
time. the identity of the individ-
ual who will be summoned to lead
the Democratic hosts. Ii is inter-
esting, from a non-partisan
standpoint, to note the wide diff
ferences of opinion and the rela-
lively few candidates stamped as
suitable material.
First, the retirement of Oscar
Underwood as a Senator from
Alabama, arouses curiosity as to
his ultimate course. He refused
to run again for office because OF
differences with party leaders in
his state. Now the senior Sena-
tor from Alabama rates pretty
high with conservative folks and
is respected for his fair play by
other political faiths. His term
will expire in 1926. Though he
failed for the nomination last
year, his friends feel that he is
still a logical man for the Presi-
dency.
In the Northern and Middle
West states it is reported that
sentiment for Governor Smith is
strong. Some say he is the natur-
al leader of the party because OF
his achievements in the Empire
State. Privately, those who keep
their hand on the pulse of the
voting public will tell you that
religious and prohibition issues
would disqualify Mr. Smith not.
withstanding his other qualifica.
tions. Those are the chief topics
when this man is named.
Just when everybody thought
that former Senator Joe Baily OF
Texas. was permanently fixed in
a lucrative law business, comes
the word. under-cover, of course
that he would make good Presi
dental timber. They say that
like Gov. Smith, Baily woulC
fight hard for the party if select
ed. Except for participation il
state campaigns, it is said Mr.
Bailey has been keeping ava,
from the arena. There is a stor.
told in Washington about the for
mer Senator to the effect tina
Joe Bailey has argued and woi
more cases before the Supreme
Court of the United States thar
any other man.. If this is tru'
it is an enviable record and fac
tor that would be prominent in
drive for the nomination OF 70
party leadership.
