WILL THE DEMOCRATS TAKE
: A CUE FROM WISCONSIN.
Capital Times, Madison, Wis.,

Capital Times, Madison, Wis.,
Will the Democrats again show
their capacity for making plumbers
when they meet i'm national conven-
ton to select a candidate for presi-
dent of the United States and to draft
platform upon which the Democrats
will appeal for control of the country?
Will they, at time when they have
such rosy prospects, tumble the ball
or the five yard line and once more
make a mess generally of the whole
situation?
We wonder if the Democrats i'm the
nation will have the acumen to grasp
the significance of Tuesdays vote in
Wisconsin. Will they have sense
enough to realize that Gov. Roosevelt
is the only candidate suggested as a
Democratic presidential possibility
who can carry the Progressive and
agricultural Mid-Western states?
The vote in Wisconsin on Tuesday
demonstrated one thing,-the people
feel that the best way to get rid of
the Hoover administration is to rally
behind Gov. Roosevelt On the basis
of the returns from 1000 precincts,
the vote was divided approximately as
follows:
La Toilette (Progressive) 117.OOO:
Dahl (HoOver) 100000; Duffy (Roose-
velt 100000; Callahan (Smith) IT,
600.
The Hoover vote was solidly arrayed
back of the Hoover delegates as ex-
emplitied by the Dahl candidacy. The
anti-HOOver vote is represented by the
La Toilette, Duffy, and Callahan fig
ureS. I'm other words, Pres. Hoover
polled about one quarter of the vote
on Tuesday
This clearly indicates that if the
Democrats will have the sense to
nominate Roosevelt and draft a Pro-
gressive platform, Wisconsin will be
overwhelmingly theirs. We refer es-
pecially to the platform because the
situation will be complicated if the
Democrats adopt a milk and water
declaration of principles or a plat
form that is first cousin to Repub-
lican platform.
A tremendous effort has been made
to stop Roosevelt" Behind the stop
Roosevelt" campaign has been the pri-
vate public utility strength. They do
not trust Roosevelt and his position
on power. They would prefer Richie
Or Garner or Baker or some safe DEM
Ocrat. Will the big business interests
succeed in heading off Roosevelt?
Will they once more show that both
of the old political parties are owned
by big interests in the United States?
The decision of this question will
determine where Wisconsin will go
next fall.

Mankato is trying to get on the

perhaps more correctly some of its
citizens are trying to do so. John E.

1881 session-has filed for the office

that Mr.. Hoidale will not file for that

IT'S A GOOD NAME

Hearing Governor Franklin y
Roosevelt at ST. Paul Monday re-
minded the editor of the Askov Amer
lean. when as a citizen of Milwaukee
twenty years ago. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt spoke there. the night
there was an attempted assassination
OF the former president. That was in
the campaign of 1912 when Woodrow
Wilson was elected president on the
Democratic ticket. President William
Howard Taft was candidate for re-
election on the Republican ticket and
Theodore Roosevelt. not being satisfied
with the way things were being rim
By the Republicans, broke with them
and was also a candidate for preSi-
denton the Bull Moose ticket.
About 10 minutes after the bullet
had been fired into the chest of
Colonel Roosevelt in front of the Gill
patrick hotel just as he was leaving
for the auditorium. and after a hur-
ried examination by doctors, he ap-
peared on the stage, following the
announcement by the chairman that
in spite of a bullet wound the great
Colonel would speak. The applause
of the 10000 people literally raised
the roof of the building and after it
died down. though pale, the Colonel
shouted: Yes, it takes more than
that to kill Bull Mooser." A voice
up in the galleries roared out 1--WE
want TO be shown whereupon the
Colonel tore open his coat and vest
and there was plenty of evidence, a
blood plot more than a foot square.
Though weak. he spoke for 45 minutes
and was then rushed to the hospital.
Colonel Roosevelt was of the rough
and ready type-a former cowboy
and q man who let the chips fly
straight from the shoulder. He could
mingle with the kings and was just
as much at home with the lowly, he
was the kind Of a man that could meet
friend on the street and say Hello
Bill That was what made him
great popular president, because he
was real American-the kind men
would throw their coats and go out
and fight for.
While Franklin D. Roosevelt is not
so "bully"-to use a term of the
COlOnel-there is some similarity be-
tween the two statesmen and distant
relatives. The Roosevelt of today is
also a man of courage and determina-
ton. His physical ailment-infantile
paralysis-which crippled his legs
twelve years ago, has not in any way
deferred him in his onward march
for the people. He is a man of vision
and great capacity and has the same
winning personality that made The
Colonel so popular.
The Governors talk on the Hawley-
SmOot tariff law, the power question,
and the st. Lawrence deep waterway
at st. Paul thrilled the crowd and
met with general approval.
The tariff law when enacted in 1929
met with a storm of disapproval from
Pine county, the state of Minnesota
and the entire agricultural Northwest
The completion of the ST. Lawrence
waterway would make this section of
the country the bread basket for
big part of the densely populated in
,dustrial centers of America On the
power question the Governor was IN
line with what is being advocated by
such men as Senator Norris, Senator
LaFollette, Governor Olson and other
statesmen.
Governor Roosevelt made a very
favorable impression in his Mime
sofa appearance.

Bank Business
for Fifty Years

About 600 people called at the bank
in Rush City Monday when it cele-
brated its 50th anniversary, the first
25 years as a private bank under the
name of Bank of Rush City and The
last % years Incorporated under the
state banking laws as the State Bank
of Rush City This bank was one of
the first to open in eastern Minnesota,
there being no banks in Pine county
when it started business on April 18,
1882. The open house Monday brought
visitors not only from the immediate
community but many bankers from
the surrounding territory called as
did also bankers from Minneapolis,
st. Paul. and Duluth. To celebrate
been equipped with new fixtures,
many of the visiting bankers brought
beautiful boquets of flowers, all we're
treated to refreshments, the ladies
given roses and the men cigars.
j. &. Carlson of Rush City, the
president of the bank, is also presi-
dent of the First National Bank of
Pine City. His son, Roy Carlson, is
one of the owners of the Pine City
Mercantile Co.
The Bank of Rush City was opened
as private bank by F. S. Christen-
sen. In the fall of the first year,
1882, j. c. Carlson commenced work
ing in the institution and has been
connected with it ever since, almost
90 years. He will be rs years old on
July % and is still in good health.
In 1885, AZ years ago, Hjalmar An
derson became connected with the in
stitutiOn and has been there since.
He was cashier for many years and in
1926 was elevated to the office of vice
president. Another man who has seen
many years of service in this bank is

elsewhere for five years. He returned
in 1909 to become assistant cashier
and has remained since. In 1926 he
was promoted to cashier which office
he still holds.

In 1887 J. c. Carlson was taken into
partnership with F. S. Christensen
and this partnership continued until
the death of Mr.. Christensen in 1895.
Mr. Carlson continued the private
bank until Dec. 30, 1907, when it was
Incorporated under the name of State
Bank of Rush City, and he was made
its first president, the office he still
holds. ]. F. Ramberg was the first
vice president of the Incorporated in
sitution and Hjalmar Anderson the
first cashier. The bank now has a
capital of 100000, one of the oldest
and strongest in this part of the state,
and five persons are employed in it
No little credit is due Mr. Carlson
that he has weathered the storms of
nearly 80 years-through lean years
and fat years-and has served his
community continually for that long
period of time. Also that he has been
ale to keep his faithful employees and
officers so long. The bank has beer
located in the same building, its
present location, since 1898.

c D. P. OPPOSES
/ TORTUR|NG Of
. PLANT LIFE
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS


CHICAGO, June II Q.NS0,
Acting on the principle that it
is cheaper to paint up the old bus
and use it just once more than
1t is to buy a new car, the Re
publicans have again nominated
Hoover and Curtis and if you
don't like it. you will find plenty
of company among the Repub-
hcan delegates.
AS a further move toward econ
omy the Republicans are using
the same old platform that they
used when you and I we're young,
MCGEE. They still oppose white
slavery, VIII oiesale murder, the
torture of young plants and
flowers and the use of chewing
tobacco in drawing rooms, except
in self defense.
They still insist that any man
who steals second with the bases
full should be sent back to the
minor leagues and they are
heartily in favor of preserving
the cast iron animal life of
America.
In short, a fine, powerful. sig
nificant platform which will be
as understandable to the average
voter as the Einstein theory of
relativity is to a mentally de-
fective Ubangi head hunter.
Former Senator Joseph I.
France tried to start some excite
ment by having himself nomi-
mated for the presidency. But
the delegates only yawned while
Delegate Sandblast talked for an
hour or so on his fitness. This
having failed and the elfin spirit

BIG DEMOCRATIC
VOTE PREDICTED
EXECUTIVE COMMUTE E
URGES ALL TO RALLY TO
SUPPORT OF ROOSEVELT

Monroe county has already
climbed on the Franklin ID. Roose-
welt banner and the largest vote
ever polled here for a Democratic
presidential nominee is being fore
casted.
Confidence, however. that the
vote will be large must not keep
a voter from the polls on Novem-
Der 8. This is an obligation that
every Democratic voter owes to
Key West. President Hoover, Sec
rotary of the Navy Adams and the
Naval Station must not be forgot
ten.
With a Democratic congress
and a. Democratic president
chances for appropriations to re-
open the Naval Station are good.
We must, however, have some
thing to support our claim and an
overwhelming Democratic vote will
be the best argument to use.
We want a new deal. We want
q new leader. We want man of
action. We want d man of couf-
age, one that will tend more to
home duties than to foreign af-
fairs. Such a man is Franklin D.
Roosevelt. the Democratic nominee
for president.
Our government activities have
been taken away from US. The
Coast Guard, Army Barracks and
the Naval Station are gone. We
want them back and with Demo-
cratic administration we stand a
chance. With a Republican regime
we are outcasts. So let every resi-
dent of Key W2st climb on the big
band wagon and go to the polls on
November s and vote for Roose-
welt.
THE COMMITTEE.
