concerns. We cannot blame the
newspapers because newspaper
must have advertising or die and
here again the Sank Centre people
are slack. Compare the amount of
advertisements paid for by the
chains and monopolies and the
amount Of advertising by local con-
Germs in the Herald any time and
you will see why editors are muz-
zled.
AS to how Olson stood two years
ago does not worry the Democrats
half as much as it does the Repub-
licans. He stood where Shipstead
stood, neutral. All this coupled
with the leading Republican news
papers of the state Dragging up the
Democratic candidate for United
States Senator, is just to fool some
Democrats to vote for the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor by
making them believe that they will
support the Democratic candidate
for Senator. The Democrats are
not so easily fooled. They know
those same Republicans, some of
them, will not vote for Schall, but
will vote for the Independent can
didate, Mr.. Lund, not with any
hope or desire to defeat Schall but
just to punish him for his pretend
ed progressive tendencies and to
prevent the election of the Demo
cratic candidate.
1t was getting so bad in the Re-
publican camp that it needed a
Moses to bring them out of the di-
lemma and Senator Moses, of New
Hampshire, came to Minnesota
twice, for his health? Or was it to
save one of the "Sons of Wild
Jackasses" from defeat. I will let
the reader draw his own conclu-
sion.
Here now comes the meat of
the cocoanut, and a good deal of
the trouble of the Sank Centre bus
mess men. That is the farmers
have always voted against monop-
olistic aggressions, and whenever
they had a chance to do so, for Mr..
Olson.
In 1924 Olson was, as now, the
Farmer-Labor candidate for Gov
ernor. The total combined vote in
eight of the townships of Stearns
viz: Ashley, Raymond, Northfolk,
Lake George, Getty, Grove, Mel
rose and Sank Centre was Olson
1856, Christianson 222; Avery the
Democratic candidate 60, plurality
over Christensen of 664 and a ma
jority over the Democratic and
Republican candidates of 6O4, out
of a total vote for the three of 1852.
The City. of Melrose gave Olson 33s
votes and Christianson 153 and
Avery 80. The Village of Brooten
gave Olson 1855 votes and Christ
hanson rs and Avery votes. And
now, mark this well, the City of
Sank Centre gave Olson 211 votes,
Christianson $50, and Avery A.
That was six years ago.
In 1928 Shipstead, the Farmer
Labor candidate, received a total
vote in the same townships of 1890
and Nelson the Republican candi-
date, 1877. The City of Melrose gave
Shipstead 619 votes and Nelson Sc.
The Village of Brooten gave Ship
stead 268 and Nelson 38 votes.
At this time the City of Sank
Centre had begun to see the light
and gave Nelson 587 votes and
Shipstead 532, a majority for Mel
son of IS votes.
The City of Melrose has no chain
stores or chain banks. These peo-
pie do not thrive where the people
are against monopoly. To prove
this I want to give another ex-
ample. In Todd county is the City
of Staples, which gave Olson in
1924, SIG votes and Christianson
APO and in the eight townships in
the three counties in the Staples
trade territory the combined vote
for Olson was 588 and for Christ
hanson $40. Staples City in 1928
gave Shipstead 962 votes against
329 votes for Nelson and the, same
eight townships around that city
gave Shipstead 844 votes and Mel
son 473. The City of Staples is of
the same size as Sank Centre and
there are no chains" there.
This year Olson will have 90
per cent of the farmers in the Sank
Centre trade territory and we in
wife the people of the city of Sank
Centre to join us and vote for
Olson for Governor. I need not
tell you to vote for Judge Himsl
for Attorney General, nor for the
Arch Foe of monopoly, Henry
Arens, Scott county farmer and
vice president and one of the chief
pillars of the Land O. Lakes AS
ISOLATION, for Lieutenant Governor.
In short, let the business people
of the city join the farmers politi-
cally this fall and elect Olson gov
ernor. He will appoint persons to
carry out what anti monopoly laws
we have and urge other laws to be
enacted along that line.
Once united we will go down the
line and help get president who
will appoint judges on the Federal
bench who will find and use the
teeth in the Sherman Anti Trust
Law and in other laws enacted for
the security of the liberty of the
country and possibly get a Con-
gress that will not dare to dance
to the music of Wall Street.
Just one word more to the in
dependent business men of Sank
Centre. Give your paper more
support. Don't let it depend on the
advertisement it can get from the
Blue Valley. j. c. Penney, Incorpo-
