FARMER LABOR ALLIANCE
DECLINING

In the recent state wide primaries the Repub-
licans pollei 41,OO0 more votes than they did
in the Presidential primary four years ago.
The Farmer-Labor vote fell off over 100000 There
was rather brisk pre-primary campaign for the
Republican nomination for United States Senator
the three candidates polling 263,20S votes. None
of these votes will go to Shipstead at the November
election Mr.. Shipstead's total vote was 8O,9OS.
It is regrettable that larger percentage OF the
voters of the state did not exercise their right OF SUI
frage, but it must be apparent to even the most
biased observer that the Farmer-Labor alliance In
this state is rapidly declining.
The Herald has contended that Mr. Shipstead
has not shown any marked craftsmanship qualltca-
tons and that no voter claiming to be affiliated with
the Republican party justified in voting for him.
Of course the result of the primaries OF week ago
do not eliminate him, but it convinces the Herald
that he can be defeated in November by Arthur E.
Nelson, Republican candidate, if an aggressive, in
telligent campaign is waged.

Bouqnets From The
Pens Of Ye Editors
Sixty Years of Service

Concentrating sixty years OF
fruitful service to Sank Centre
and Stearns county, the Sank Cen
tire Herald last week issued a 81
page deluxe edition together with
the regular weekly edition.
1t was not only a work of art; it
was a masterpiece and will fill an
important niche in the hall OF
fame in the Minnesota Historical
Association building.
What progress Sank Centre has
made in the past sixty years from
a humble stockaie to one of the
most picturesque cities in this state
of beautiful cities, much credit is
due in large measure to the unself-
ish and untiring efforts of the Her.
aid.
While the Herald and its versa
tile editor, Asa Wallace, is to be
congratulated upon it's success,
much more are the people OF Sank
Centre to be congratulated upon
having in their midst newspaper
of such brilliance and worth. The
Herald is the show window through
which people from a distance get
their idea and their understanding
of the city of Sank Centre and it
is largely because that display win
dow is without flaw or stain that
Sank Centre is so widely reputed
for its good qualiries.-Murry

BOOSTS HEADLIGHT TESTING
The Breckenridge Automobile

oOOoI I1G<AAAASE1A LIZ AASN
The Breckenridge Automobile
club has offered to pay part of
the expense if one of the garages
in that city will install the neces-
sary equipment required for an
official light testing station. The
club realizes that night driving
will be safer for all concerned if
motorists generally have their
lights adjusted to give proper road
Illumination, but to date there is
no station in that vicinity.
Although the State Highway de-
partment has licensed about ITO
official lamp adjusting stations
throughout the state, there are still
a number of cities without such
stations. A bulletin from the
Highway department suggests that
where the local police, auto clubs
or some other public spirited or
ganization will take steps to call
attention to the advantages of
properly adjusted lights, testing
stations will get enough business
so that it is not necessary for the
club to share the expense. Never
theless the Breckenridge clubs in
terest is to he commended, and if
all motor organizations will take
as much interest, the glazing light
nuisance will soon be greatly re-
duced.

Many of those attending the outing of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial outing last week in
connection with the Advertising Clubs were not par
ticuary pleased with the treatment the editors re-
ceived The Herald is convinced that the promi-
nence of the newspaper organization made it posi-
BILE for the Advertising Club to receive SO much en-
tertainment, yet the members of the Fourth Estate
were submerged by the advertising men. In the
past successful outings have been arranged and
handled by the Editorial Association. In previous
attempts to consolidate with other organizations for
outings the newspaper men have held the sack. The
sentiment expressed at last weeks outing was for
the editorial association to paddle its own canoe IN
the future.

trial activity. It will be impossible for him to get
the viewpoint of the agriculturalist.
New York and the leading interests sponsoring
his candidacy are unalterably opposed to the St
Lawrence waterway project which will mean more
to the farmers of the great Northwest than any
farm relief legislation proposed up to the present
time.
Consistent with his rugged honesty Mr.. Smith
notified the convention managers that the platform
must contain plank demanding the revision OF the
Prohibition Act.
Regardless of the merit of Mr.. Smiths de-
mand, the women of America are bone dry.
The women of America recall the brilliant and
humane work of Herbert Hoover in the caring for
the women and children of stricken Europe during
and following the World War. His stand on the
prohibition question appeals to them. His past
record is an assurance that he will use every ounce
of his splendid ability to put into practice the
theory he breaches.
In Herbert Hoover and AL Smith the two great
parties have nominated men of outstanding ability
and of very high moral standing The political
ideas thew represent are vastly different, although
both are splendid American citizens.
Mr. Hoover has issued orders that his cam
paign be conducted along dignified lines; no doubt
Mr. Smith will do the same
1t will be perfectly proper for the things eacn
candidate stands for be discussed 1t will be just as
nroper for the past accomplishments of the parties
be given the limeght of publicity.
It should be an interesting campaign.
