1.-The trouble is that a lot of our
politicians are trying to carry water

to another. Hardly, 1 think the
worst is where most of them are try

with that taken by the labor-progres-
sive group supporting the candidacy
of William Mahoney and his political
associates in the present campaign.
Governor Roosevelt declared for pub
lie ownership of production of cleo
trio power but expressed himself as
favoring further trial of private own
ership of the distribution end of the
business. st. Paul laborites, though
declaring their faith in public owner
ship of both production and distribu-
ton of electric current, express a
willingness to try for better rates
from the present power company
under a new franchise if such rates
can be had.
Surely the position of the st. Paul
labor group is conservative indeed.
In the writer's opinion the day is
past when any further consideration
should be given to private ownership
and operation of any of our public
utilities. The only solution lies in
public ownership.
Magnus Files for Congress.
Congressional filings under the ::at
large" plan have begun. The first
to file was former Senator L. P. John
son of Mankato, who is seeking the
Republican nomination, while Magnus
Johnson was the first to enter the
field as a candidate on the Farmer
Labor ticket
1t was anticipated that there would
be large number of candidates on
the Farmer-Labor and Republican
tickets and that there would be at
least full quota of nine to file on
the Democratic ticket. The appar-
ent hesitancy to file has been inter-
preted by some as being the result of
the $50 filing fee which is necessary
to enter the race on the at large
basis.
Among those who have expressed
their desire to become candidates on
the Farmer-Labor ticket for congress
are: Senator Geo. H. Lommen, Eve
leth; Sen. A. o. Devoid, Minneapolis;
Sen. Emil l.. Regnier, MARSHALL; Con-
gresham Paul John Kvale, Benson;
Sen. c. A. Hausler, st. Paul; Mayor
julius ]. Reiter, former congressman,
Rochester; Ernest Lundeen, Mime
apOlis; and Erling Swenson, Mime
apolis.
Others who have been mentioned as
possible candidates are: Sen. Victor
E. Lawson, Willmar; Sen. H. A. Bridge
man, Bemidji; c. F.. Gaarenstroom,
chairman state rural credit board and
Alderman al. G. Bastis, Minneapolis.
Whether any endorsements will be
made by the state committee has not
been definitely decided upon. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether a meet
ing of the committee will be held
prior to the close of filings on May II.
Some preferential plan by the COM
mittee may be adopted after that
Lieut.. Governor Henry Arens, who
was endorsed by the state convention
for reelection to the office he now
holds, will probably not enter the
race for congress, though it is we'll

The congressional contest promises
to overshadOw all others as far as
the primary election is concerned.

and Farmer-Labor parties.

A Successful Convention

The So delegates who plowed
through mud to attend the conven-
ton last Friday, making up Jnst&
percent of the total voting strength
possible at the meeting demonstrat-
ed an interest in the political future
of Sheridan county by its substan-
tial citizenry the like Of which, ac-
according to old timers and those
best vefsed in political experience
had not before been kn-wn.
The attendance and work Of these
delegates throughout a meeting
which lastd most of the night, af-
fords the most convincing testimony
that people from every portion OF
the county are in sympathy with
the movement and that the organ
ization-the Taxpayers Economy
League-must be reckoned with in
determining the future Policies OF
administration IN our county gov
eminent.
Rufnors in circulation ever since
the decision was made to endorse
a set of fusion candidates that the
plan would not work out, that there
would - such objection made that
it would be impossible to carry out
the plan, were shown to have been
pverestimated if not entirely unjus-
titled. No convention could possibly
have been held under conditions
where greater harmony prevailed.
No convention could possibly have
been more democratic in making a
selection of standard bearers.
No mar was denied a hearing, and
the fact that the ticket is composed
more largely of farmers than any
body else, clearly substantiates the
position taken by the Plentywood
Herald that this would be a farm
ers convention" that it would be
strictly under the control Of men

towns. A dirt farmer presided.
nominations for the most part were
made by farmers, and certainly can
didates selected are anything but
"mainstreeters."
More will be said as the campaign
progresses about the individual
qualifications of the T. E. L. ticket,
but suffice it to say that the ticket
nominated by the Economy League,
made up of representative candid
ates from different sections Of the
county, a list Of nominees are plac-
ed in the field Of which any voter
need not be ashamed-a List of can
didates to which any voter or tax
payer a well afford to lend their
unqualified support, a group Of men
and women whom, when elected, will
assure an efficient and honest ad-
ministration and TO whom any coun-
ty could point to with pride.

1870 Correct

There are those who have had
much respect for the segacity OF
writers in the Producers-News, and
have respected their ability to make
predictions. But, following the pre-
dictions made in the columns Of that
paper last week as to the list OF
candidates to be chosen at the con-
vention of the Taxpayers Economy
League, and just who would be in
control of the meeting, their stock
as political prognosticators has Ia
ken a most decided drop; in fact, it
almost struck bottom!
Outright predictions were made as
to who would be the successful can
didates for six important county Of
fees. OF these six, they were right
on ONE, giving them a score Of is
percent. Not a bad batting average!
Quoting from the News OF last
week, the Producers News said,
speaking Of the candidacy of Hans
Madsen, "there have been times
when he dared have q mind of his
own" and they selected Hans Mar
kuson as the man. The most pecul-
lar thing about it is that Mr.. Mar
kuson's name was not even present
ed to the convention.
Then, after several possible nom.
inees for the county commissioner
position, including all the names
which were presented and two,
three others, the News pointed out
that, "none of those mentioned has
any more show Of being nominated
at this convention than a man in the
moon; Frank French has eryet
Mainstreet well, and they are mol
going to take a chance on anyon.

tender until the day of the conven-
ton
Speaking of Carl Peterson, clerk
of court, it was said, she is going to

Jensen was named on the FIRST

On the county attorney they scor-
ed their one correct guess out of the
six, and ON which no one could hard
ly have missed
We question If there ever was a
meeting of delegates In Sheridan
county called for any purpose, where
there was q greater absence Of log
rolling or steam roller tactics. Ger
tainly it was not to be compared to
the convention of the Farmer-Lab-
rites of four years ago when it be-
kcame necessary to recess the regular
convention until the bosses were
able to muster r~einforcements in or
der to name their picked candidate
for sheriff, and who was later over
whelmingIy defeated by the same
man whom the Economy League has
named a its choice this year.
Whether farmers controlled the
meeting or not can well be ! 1T ta
the delegates themselves. At least
it is known that more than seventy
percent actual farmers. Farm
ers who pay heavy taxes Who is
there-either delegate or spectator
who would look over that group
Of voting representatives and say
that they were not possible of max
ing wise selections, that they were
not capable of thinking for them
selves-that they came to this con
vention- inspired with any other mo-
tive than the desire to name candi-
dates for office who would carry out
the principles of the organization
with which they were affiliated 7
They did all those things, and they
stand ready to support and defend
their action until the general cleo
ton is over next November and
every candidate they have named
has been sworn into office.

Doctor VS.. Editor

The following clipping was hand
ed us by a friend with the request
that we publish same, as he believes
the small boy "hit the nail on the
head"
A little boy was given the stunt
by his father to write an essay on
editors and here is the result:
IF an editor makes a mistake
folks say he ought to be hung; but
If a doctor makes a mistake he bur
les it and people dassent say nothing
because doctors can read and write
Latin. When the editor makes q
mistake there is lawsuits and a big
fuss; but if a doctor makes one
there is q funeral, cut flowers and
perfek silence. A doctor can use q
word a yard long without anyone
knowing what it means; but If the
editor uses n he has to spell it. If
the doctor goes to see another mans
wife he charges for the visit but if
the editor goes he gets a charge of
buckshot. When the doctor gets
drunk it's a case of being overcome
by the heat and if he dies it's from
heart trouble; when an editor gets
drunk it's a case of too much booze
and if he dies its the jimpams. Any
college can make a doctor; an editor
has to be born

AMERICA TO WATCH
PARLEY IN OTTAWA
U. S. Interested in British
Move for Inter-Empire
Trade.

The attention of business men.
economists and politicians in the United
States and throughout the world will
be focused to large extent this Sum-
mer on the economic conference OF the
British Empire scheduled to begin at
Ottawa on July 81.
Representatives of Great Britain and
her dominionS will there endeavor to
work out plans for stimulating inter-
empire trade to the mutual advantage
of the mother country and the far
flung commonwealth.
Since Canada the conference hostess,
Is the best customer of the United
States, American business has a vital
interest in the outcome of the meeting.
While success of the conference. result
ing in increased prosperity within the
empire, might be reflected in improved
world conditions, economists see in in
creased tariff preferences to the United
Kingdom the threat of adverse effects
on United States trade with Canada.
Large Exports.
United States exports to Canada in
the boom year of 1929 were valued at
Ss48, ,446, 900. In 1881 they had dropped
months of 1882 the value of our ship
10 SdlldCd dlllOullItu W 11lIlc
more than half the value of those in
the corresponding period of 1881.
Imports from Canada in 1929
amounted to s503, ,496,0O0. In 1881 they
had fallen to $266297,O0O. For the
first four months of this year imports
amounted to about two-thirds those of
the corresponding period of 1881.
This tremendous slump in the value
of trade between the two neighboring
nations is ascribed primarily to the
lessened purchasing power of conSum-
ers and the reduced price of commod-
tiles brought about by the depression.
Trade has been further retarded by
tariff barriers erected by both coun-
tries in the last two years.
The present premier of Canada, Rich

were severe blows to American manu-
facturers. Some preference, however,
was given to imports from countries
within the empire.
