MUCH PRAISE FOR
THE REACTIONARIES
Republican Spellbinders of the County
Had Meeting at Friesland School
Last Friday Eve.

A reader of the Askov Amer
lean who attended the Republic
can rally at the Friesland school
house last Friday evening, has
written the following brief report
of said meeting:
On Friday evening. Oct. 2Sth. Re-
publican rally was held in the school
house auditorium at Friesland to a
large audience, most Of whom were
Farmer-Laborites.
A Ladies' Aid supper had been
served at six o'clock and at eight
the meeting opened with a short en-
tertainment by the school children.
The children did splendidly, especi-
ally in their little play. THE En-
chanted Forest" wherein a most real
istic witch enthralled the audience
with her white magic.
Oscar Oakland then called the
speakers to the platform and Attor-
ney Albert johnson of Sandstone,
presided.
E. B. Linsley, postmaster of Willow
River, was the first speaker and
waxed enthusiastic over the re-elec-
ton of Hoover, and threw a gentle
spray of odium on the Democratic
candidate.
Alva Gay of Hinckley, followed with
the story of the Republican party and
illustrated his remarks with an in
cident that occurred when he was
crossing the ocean to Europe. He
raped the Askov American and its
editor.
DR.. w. C. Emke of Willow River,
was the next speaker and his oratory
was very scientific. He told of the
wonderful scientific brain of Herbert
Hoover that had been able to grasp
the mysteries of the highest branch
ars. He impressed his audience with
the fact that but VERY FEW people
were capable of cleaning the faintest
glimmer of this abtruse subject.
w. H. Lamson, secretary of the Ex-
ecutive Council and State Board OF
Investment, was the next and last
speaker with general attack on the
state officials, especially the COVER
nor.
The general gist of the speaking
seemed to be that the FL. candi-
dates and the Democratic candidates
were enemies of the public and that
the depression could be traced back
to Cleveland's administration and so
on. There were no constructive rec
concentrations. Most of the audience
left the hall during the last speech.

Reflect
ROBERT
cox
Judge of Probate
OF PINE COUNTY

The office of the Judge Of Pro-
bate is one of the most import
ant Offices in any county.
When a person dies owning
real estate, his or her estate,
must, at some time, be probated.
This involves the proper hand
ling of life savings and contri-
butes a link in the chain of title
to lands.
The Judge of Probate is re-
quired to make a decree deter
mining who the heirs of dece-
dent may be and the interest of
each heir in the property.
If the deceased left will, the
terms of the will have to be con-
strued in determining the inter-
est each devisee receives.
The office of Judge of Probate
should be filled by a person hav-
ing a good knowledge of law and
preferably by an attorney adj
mitted to practice law in this
state. In recent years the powers
of Probate Courts have increased
and the work has become more
complicated. Lawyers are now
specializing in probate law and
probate practice, and the i'm
portance and character of this
branch of the law have become
so generally recognized that,
with few exceptions, the Probate
Judges of this state are men
specially trained and learned in
the law.
In counties like Pine County,
all juvenile court work is handled
by the Probte Court while in the
more populous counties this is a
work of the. district court.
Governor Olson, and before
him, vernon Christensen,
whenever there was a vacancy
in the office of Probate Judge,
have invariably appointed attor-
neys at law to fill the vacancy.
Our present Judge of Probate,
Robert Wilcox, has a very thor
ough knowledge of probate law
and discharges the duties there
of in a commendable manner
and should be reelected, assur-
ing the same careful attention
to all matters pertaining to es-
tates of decedents, and the 9TH
err duties of Probate Judge.
Lawyers having work to do in
his court have found him to be
an expert and an authority on
matters of probate law and pro-
bate practice. If you wish addi-
tional information as to his abil-
ity and judicial qualifications, we
refer you to any lawyer who has
had occasion to practice in his
court.

THE GOVERNORS ATTITUDE

Editor AskOv Americana:
For the information of those who
attended the Farmers Covenant meet
ing in Pine City, Oct. IL, the follow
ing letter has been received from our
governor:
Your letter of an earlier date has
come to my attention, and l was very
by the group of farmers meeting at
Pine City on Oct. 18th.
During the time | have been in
office, | have consistently urged upon
the Rural Credit department that it
be as lenient as possible with farm
ers upon whose farms it held mort
cages, many of which are long past
due. In compliance with my request
the department has made every eff
fort, consistent with the law under
which it operates to keep mortgagOrs
on their farms. You realize, of course,
that the department is compelled UNI
der the law to make every effort to
collect the money which has been
loaned by it, and for that reason many
mortgages must be fOreclOsed.
Your letter containing copy of
the resolutions adopted by the farm
ers of your community is being called
to the attention of the Rural Credit
Bureau. | am sure these matters
will receive their most careful con-
sideration.
(SignedD Floyd B. Olson"
The above letter from Governor
Olson is herewith published by your
secretary,

buying power will not come as long
as we allow few to gobble up nearly
all the wealth productive labor can
create. The Republican party has al
ways stood for special privileges to
the few. That is the fundamental
principle of that party. That is the
principle set forth by Alexander Ham
ilton, the Republican High Priest. No
good Republican will deny it if he
is honest The common man can look
for no justice from that party. That
he has followed it so long is one of
the unsolved puzzles.
When Mr.. LamsOn or any other Re-
publican or conservative will speak
to us in terms of logic and common
sense they will never be without lis
teners, but let the Republicans be
honest with us. Let them tell us in
plain words what Alexander Hamilton
stood for Let them tell us that every
year they meet to do honor to his
name and to sing song of praise
to the doctrine he expounded. Let
them tell us frankly where the COM
mon people fitted in in HamiltOn's
system. The Republicans of today
believe in the philosophy of Hamilton
exactly as they did one hundred and
fifty years ago and they dare not
come out and tell the common people
what that doctrine is.

FOR PROHIBITION
Editor AskOv American:

Editor Askov American:
There has been a determined effort
on the part of those who would profit
traffic, to discredit the prohibition
law. But if everyone would look to
those who are in position to know
and not to the wet press. or to drink
ers, or to those who judge the whole
country by conditions in one locality,
that prohibition, even with the I'M
fair treatment it has had, has brought
enormous benefit to the nation in ev-
cry way, and that any modification of
the law means the saloon back again
and the undOing of the work of seven
ty-five or more years.
The fight against prohibition is be-
ing financed by a small group of mil
liOnaires who expect by the return
of the licensed saloon to shift their
corporation and income taxes to the
shoulders of the working man and the
farmer Do we want to help that
sort of thing along?
Roosevelt and his party are frankly
for repeal. Hoover does not think
the matter should be made party
issue, but he is determined that none
of the gains brought about by prohi-
bitiOn should be lost.
Every voter has the right to vote
for nine congressman. He may choose
from one, or more than one party. He
can vote for less than nine if he
wishes. but if he votes for more than
nine, his vote will not be counted.
Seven candidates are avowedly dry,
they are: Burnquist, Chase, Christian
son, Holmberg. Nolan, Selvig, and
Christgau. The name of Victor
Christgau will not appear on the bal
lot, so those who wish to vote for him
must either use a sticker or write his
name in and put a cross after it,
Be sure to spell his name correctly.
appeal to'all who love their homes,
their communities, and their country
to vote dry and keep the saloons out.

Installing FEAR

Speaking over the Radio the other
day Einar Hoidale of Minneapolis
said:
1T is entirely too clear to be dis
puted that this campaign of fear,
scare and bulldozing that is now be-
ing put in, has been deliberately
planned, far in advance, for the pur-
pose of keeping in power, through
fear, the political high command
which has been commanding the ship
of state for the last twelve years.
"The leaders of the Republican
party and those who contributed to
its campaign funds had become bold
and quite frank in their advocacy OF
men of the type of Mark Hanna and
Grundy. Those who bore the burdens
of the day-those whose backs were
beginning to bend under the load,
were uttering protests. The murmur-
ing multitude was threatening to end
the rule of Mark Hanna and his crew
of privilege seekers.
How did Mark Hanna meet this
rumbling dissatisfaction? He pursued
the same tactics that are being pur-
sued today-a campaign of threats
fear, scare, bluff and bulldoze. Many
of you older voters remember those
disgraceful days.
II believe in being fair and play
ing the game on the square, but this
claim that only one party in this
country is good enough and able en-
ough to rule this land, is false and
unreasonable only that but dan
gerOus.

was, who has tasted hardship and
who by his own hard labor and force
of character has climbed through and
above it to the commanding position

by President Hoover, rather than to
trust our future to the descendant Of

not been through the mill of necessity
and whose wealth Is invested securely
in tax free municipal bonds and other
Wall street securities instead of In

To the Good
People of
Pine County
Minneapolis, Oct. "a, 1892.

hIENLEo.
am creditably informed that I
have become an issue in the legis-
lative campaign in Pine county.
My friend, Hjalmar Petersen, is
charged by his opponent with be-
ing "a friend of that radical Stock
we'll" For once, Therrien has told
the truth. | am happy to say that
Petersen is a personal and a po-
litical friend, whose friendship
prize highly. 1t is also true that
| am a radical and am proud to
bear the label. Just what is radi-
cal? Let Webster inform us. think
that you will agree that he is a
better authority on the meaning
of words than Joseph. Joseph is
wise citizen few if any, more so
but Noah is still considered reli-
able in a matter of this nature.
Webster's unabridged dictionary
defines radical as follows:
''Radical-Of or pertaining
to the root; proceeding from
the root. Hence. of or per.
tanning to the root or origin;
original; fundamental as rad
ical evils; radical error; reach
ing to the center or ultimate
source: affecting the vital
principle or principles, hence
thOroughgoing;: extreme, as
radical reform. radical cause"
In the consideration of any
question, that is exactly what l
try to do-go to the root of the
problem and find out the why and
wherefore. Would Therrien have
a public man do less?
There is an old saying that birds
Of feather flock together. This
accounts for the friendship exist
ing between Petersen and me.
Not that we always vote the same
way. We do not. There is an
honest difference of opinion at
times. That is to be expected. l
am certain that Petersen is in the
Legislature to serve the common
good at all times and not for per-
Sonal reasons. Can as much be
said of his opponent? | think not
based upon my observation and
knowledge, which is considerable.
Very few men do better work in
their first session than did Peter
sen, and if he is returned as |
confidently believe he will be, |
feel sure that he will give Pine
county and the state, high order
OF intelligent, constructive service.
Pine county helped materially in
reducing the gray wolves in the
last session of the legislature. My
conviction is that the excellent
work so well started then, will be
continued with zeal indefinitely.
Permit me to say in closing that
it is nearly impossible to get a
true picture Of any members serv-
ice in the House from the House
journal. One can only learn to
know the motives that prompt a
members actions, by a day to day
contact with the work of the
House. Based upon such day to
day contact, with Petersen, l
do not hesitate to say that his mo-
tives and his ability are most ex-
ceIent and that he will in the fu-
ture, occupy high place in the
public life of Minnesota. Send him
back to the House and keep him
there as long as he can afford to
stay.
