HAMPEYS WRITES VIEWS
,ditor AskOv American:

Editor Askov American:
Some time ago the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, an Independent newspaper that
boosts the Republican party day and
night came up with statement to the
effect that we should forget our party
lines, discard Lord Hoover, and boost
Coolidge, Republican, for president
and AL Smith, Democrat, for vice.
president. If that was a good idea
to bring back our national prosperity,
why didn't the st. Paul Pioneer Press
make a similar suggestion for our
state government in order to bring
our taxes down. since it cries day and
night that they are too high.
Why not in Sam Hill merge these
two old parties together and make one
good outfit out of them? For Cover
nor we might call on Mr.. Christian
son, since Mr.. Christianson knows his
onions how a state should be run un-
der the leadership of Republican ad-
ministration, and in turn the people

Pine county voters had the oppor-
tunity last Saturday to hear and see
Harry H. Peterson. former county at
tOrney of Ramsey county and now
candidate for the office of attorney
general of the state. He is a splen-
did type of man, speaks clearly and
distinctly. and leaves the impression
that he is we'll informed. He takes
we'll with the people and many Pine
county folks were glad to shake hands
with him and learn to know the man
who is destined to head the state legal
department after the first of the year.
The former popular Pine county
attorney, VIM. S. Erwin, located at
Sandstone when here, but for the past
twelve years practicing in the city
of Minneapolis, regards Mr.. Peterson
as very able attorney-one of the
best in the state-and says that he
will fulfill the duties of attorney gen.
eral with credit to himself and the
state.
Mr.. Peterson is a product Of the
Gopher state and is in his best and
most active years-42. He earned his
way through school and college, work
ing in truck gardens, railroad shops,
carrying newspapers, and such other
odd jobs. He has practiced law in
the city of st. Paul for twenty years
and has time and again fought the
battles of the common man.
Mr.. PetersOn's past record assures
the citizens that he will enforce all
laws pertaining to trusts, mOnopolies
and foreign corporations; draft laws
to aid the Independent in his struggle
against combinations, including all
fluence of his office to secure a good
state income tax law and similar leg
islatiOn to relieve farmers and home
owners of undue tax burdens.
The attorney general is the chief
law officer of the state, appears for
the state i'm all civil actions and in
the supreme court in all criminal ap-
peals; is legal adviser to all state
officers and departments, renders
opinions on legal questions to them
and to county, city, village, town and
school districts. He has charge of
the determination and collection Of
all inheritance taxes. He also has
charge of the bureau Of criminal ap-
prehension created to assist local
peace officers in the investigation Of
crime and the apprehension of Grim
inals, and to maintain a bureau Of
identification.
1t is a man sized job and one that
calls for a person with the character,
ability. and understanding of Mr..
Peterson, who is a candidate on the
Farmer-Labor ticket.

broadcast over the county. among
other things: "Therrien has sued
Henry G. Teigan for libel" Mr.. Tel
gan who is editor of the Farmer
Labor Leader and one of the leading
progressives of the Northwest, a man
who is fighting the battle of the mas
ses and has been foremost in that
battle for more than 20 years, is still
waiting for that libel suit to come off.
In the campaign of 1880 Mr.. Their
rian announced at the Pokegama town
hall about ten days before the cleo
ton when it was getting hot, that
"even If Petersen is elected he will
never be seated in the Minnesota
legislature"
The records show that I was cleo
ted in that campaign by vote Of
4,O36 to 2,545, and served my first
term in the Minnesota legislature,
commencing in January of 1881.
After my defeat by Mr.. Therrien in
1926 and again in 1928. figured that
the voters had expressed their choice
and left it for him to represent Pine
county in the legislative sessions Of
1927 and 1929. l visited the legisla-
ture briefly one day in the session of
1929. Mr.. Therrien, after his defeat
in 1880, was continually roaming
around in the state capitol during
the legislative session of 1881. He
was seen in the galleries, committee
rooms, corridors, cloak rooms, retir-
ing rooms, and frequently sat in on
the floor of the House with members
who voted for legislation in behalf of
the steel trust, the power trust. and
other special interests. Perhaps he
thought l was too ignorant" to rep
resent the people of Pine county.
There was a case that was not
compulsory The voters of Pine
county in the election of 1880 did not
make it compulsory" for Mr.. Their
rien to be spending the winter of 1881
at the capitol.
Again in the campaign of 1880 the
Markville Messenger, Mr.. Therrien's
mOuthpiece, (nOw defunct a
hard political death) wrote after the
election. that '"Therrien's friends are
urging him very strongly to contest
the election of Hjalmar Petersen be-
cause of certain fragrant violations of
the Corrupt Practices Act which gov
ems Minnesota elections"
l am still waiting for that contest.
Buster and bluff is something the
people have been fed up on, but those
who practice that method of getting
by" can get away with it for time,
until the bluff is called and the
true picture is revealed.
However, it is we'll for the citizens
of this county as we'll as other count
les in the state to be on guard against
last minute attacks in the campaign
the method often used by those rep
resenting the special interests.
1t might be interesting for the
voters to know where Mr.. Therrien
stands on such issues as the income
tax, repeal of the Brooks-Coleman
law to make for more home rule, the
power issue as advocated by such men
as Norris, Roosevelt, Shipstead and
Stockwell, the consolidated primary
election ballot and the constitutional
amendment No. 1 for the income tax.
And is Mr. Therrien still for lower
ing the taxes of the steel trust by
reducing the occupational and royal
ty taxes 33 1-3 per cent?

orange Juice and buttered Toast and
delicious clear brown coffee served out
of an old-fashioned silver pot. And
warm, scented baths and fleecy towels
And the comfortable, soothing sense of
being taken care OF. :.
ONLY one thing got beneath that tired
calm Of Judys. Nick came back to the
house In the middle of the morning.
Tall and brown in leather jacket and
high laced boots, for he had been down
to the airport.
Nick-taking her hand in both of
his, subjecting her to an unsmlllng
scrutiny from his sharp. light eyes.
Your trip East didn't do you any
good. Judy. You're thinner and paler
than I like to see"
Something warm and tender leaping
in Judy's heart. An almost humble
gratitude for his evident concern. Here
was one friend: , "Oniiy otli.s tranlng Ann y;
she answered gayly. III get fat ana
40 quickly enough!"
1t hurt to lie to Nick. She wished
Stan hadn't asked her to deceive him.
Later she wondered If Nick really
was deceived. He said so little about
her trip. And when he left the next
day there was something strange In the
long, level look he gave her.
Mary Lockerbee, too. became vague
and remote when she spoke OF judy S
trip. They slurred the subject. Hur-
ried with apparent relief to the discus
sion of new book.

being made to appear foolish. He hated
to be ridiculous.
Just now she was too emotionally
numbed to feel 1t. Much more tnapor
tant than the feeling OF the family and
Lockwood toward her was the delight
full warmth OF her morning bath. The
square white bath room-the Garter
house still kept the chsste taste of
its youth, eschewing the mauve and
blacks-rose and bluffs Of more sophis-
ticated LockWood-was heaven OF
warmth and cleanliness. Surely heaven
itself could offer nothing more soothing
to a weary body and tired nerves than
bath salts and scented tale and great
fluffy bath towels Morally bracirg to
feel so clean. -
After all, it was not difficult to meet
the family. Mrs. Carter was plainly
more i'll at ease. Fluttering painfully
when she saw Judy after breakfast
"If there's anything you want :. I'm
sure / try to make things pleasant for
every one. .. I'm sure hope haven't
hurt your feelings in any way People
are so odd nowadays----"
Vera's sharp, dark eyes were not un-
kind. But che. too. ignored the fact
of Judys absence. Only remarked
bruskly: Gracious. you do look thin,
Judy. Better get out on the links and
get some sunshine"
