to the town board of Finlayson.
A complaint was registered on the
condition of a road in the town of

A LAW TO SIMPLIFY

with the executive committee of the
Minnesota State Register of Deeds
Association, of which he is a member.
to consider the Wisconsin uniform
conveyance law and to lay plans by
by which such law can be passed in
Minnesota. The law would standard
ize and simplify legal instruments and
effect savings of thousands of dollars

by members of the committee.
The association plans to prepare a
law and present it to the next session
of the legislature. Conferences are
soon to be held with Milwaukee, Wis,
county authorities where the law has
brought about a savings of $4,000 a
year. Mr.. Hamlin will also attend
that conference.

Washington, July 11-This city is
preparing for a long political siege.
The battle of the partisan mimeo-
graphs will be waged from here as it
has been decided to establish head
quarters for the Republican and DEM
ocratic campaigns in the capital city.
Herbert Hoover will probably deliver
the major of his radio speeches from
Washington supplemented by high
calibered publicity. While it is ex-
pected that Governor Smith will make
more personal appearances than the
Republican candidate, the Democratic
party will mobilize its publicity here.
In previous campaigns the Republic
cans maintained their main quarters
at Chicago.
Ordinarily when Congress is not in
session the volume of political news
emanating from Washington is mater

President likewise diminishes the
circle of political intelligence. AS
evidence that a retiring President is
gradually stepping out of the picture

On former occasions reference has
been made to Ludwig Halvorsen Lee,
a Norwegian immigrant in Brooklyn,
N. Y, who has been sentenced to
death for the murder of woman,
and whose execution was deferred
pending the arrival of evidence from
his country purporting to show in
sanity among his forebears. This
material has now been received in
New York and is said to be disap-
pointing because it does not con-
clusively demonstrate the presence of
insanity among members of Lees
family. If it develops that the in
formation submitted has no bearing
upon the case, it is thought that Lee
will be placed in the electric chair
on July 80. He will, in that case, be
the first Norwegian ever to be execu-
ted in the United States.

MOOSE LAKE BESTS
ASKOV ON FOURTH

The Askov baseball team was not
going at its best on the Fourth of
July against the fast Moose Lake
team at Moose Lake, though the
Moosers did not have any walk-away.
Askov got off to a bad start, which
in part was perhaps due to the fact
that all their bats were left at home
and did not arrive till the third or
fourth inning. Likewise Catcher
Clegg was working with a mitt and
other catcher's regalia that was not
his own for the first few innings.
Here is the story in figures:

Work Temporarily.

During the baseball game between
Pine City and Sturgeon Lake at Pine
City on the Fourth, most unusual
accident happened to Art Oberg,
catcher of the Hinckley ball team. 1t
seems that Mr.. Oberg was lying on
his stomach in back of one of the
dugouts, resting peacefully, when one
of the catchers of the competing
teams, in chasing foul ball, stepped
with considerable force on the mid
die of his back. The accident proved
to be much more serious than it
would seem. Mr.. Oberg is employed
as a mechanic at the Ford garage,
but has been unable to work or be
about. He has been recovering slowly
and will no doubt be all right in 2
few days.

Says Democrats
Haze Outlined
Good Program
By VIGGO JUSTESEN

The following letter on the ma
tional Democratic convention re-
Gently held at Houston, Texas,
was written by Viggo Justesen of
Askov, who was delegate from
the Tenth congressional district.
Mr.. Justesen wrote the letter from
Des Moines, Iowa, where he is
presently visiting.
The Democratic national convention
is, over. AS far as the farmers are
concerned it was decided success
for the resolutions committee went
all the way to meet the request of the
farmers.
The farm plank contains a definite
pledge for farm relief including:
(a) Equality for agriculture under
the present protective system.
(b) Credit aid by loans to CO.
operatives.
(c) Creation of a federal farm
board which will do for the farmer
what the federal reserve system has
done for the bankers.
(d) And finally, statement favor
ing a system of marketing SURPRISES
similar to the McNary- Haugen plan
with the equalization fee.
Farm representatives who were
thrown out at Kansas City were given
a courteous reception and hearing.
and all of them agreed that the farm
plank contained all that the farmer
desired.
A few dissenting voices were heard
here and there, but they were drowned
in the general melee and large demon
strations, that occurred on several oc-
casions when agriculture was men,
toned.

works when he said. 1.-THE DEM
ocratic party does not propose to give
paternalistic aid to any special group,
but it does propose to take the hand
of privilege out of the farmers pocket
and off the farmers throat"
Houston had done all it could to
make the convention a success, and
except for a thermometer registering
around hundred in the shade, every
one was happy.
So much has been given over the
radio and through the papers that any
additional news is practically a rep
etition. Yet there are things that can
not be sent over the air.
Throughout the entire convention
was noted a true Jeffersonian spirit
of democracy, a spirit of tolerance for
the ideas and religion of others, and
a decided disgust toward religious
bigotry and nervousness as preached
by the Ku Klux Khan which is still
powerful in the South.
AL Smith in his acceptance of the
nomination praised the platform as
made. On only one issue did he feel
an explanation was necessary. Smith
is an ardent believer in states rights
and a foe of hypocrisy. He still be-
lieves that the Eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstead act which
were forced through as wartime me- as
ures, are not as they should be. I'm

bition has been a farce and dis
