MERIDEN IS OLD

With the democratic state cen- tral committee divided into two factions, on the question of who the new state chairman shall be, it is reported that Mayor Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, may be. picked as the compromise choice of both the "old guard" and the "new guard. Prominent couple of years ago as a member of the s'old guard, Mayor Maioney has remained in the background for some time and is now considered a neutral, hence the movement now to have him named chairman in the place of either Dr E. c.

BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Washington, Feb 18.-(UP)- Administration leaders, resenting criticism of President Hoover's earlier career, are striking out on a campaign of reply that gives an amazing start to this years presi- dential battle.
 Much literature. part of 1t anonymous, has been circulating through the country. It largely concerns MT Hoover's earlier busi- ness career. Much of 1t iS so obvi- ously prejudiced that 1t tends to de- feat it's own purpose. That Is usual- ly the case with such attacks.
 It Is an old political rule that the best thing to do Is to ignore personal criticisms and islanders on the theory that they nullify them- selves by the resentment they cause.
 Nevertheless, republican leaders have become fearful of the political effect. They have chosen to bring the whole business out into. the open in an effort to smash 1t before the summer campaign.
 This Is the reason the dominant note in recent speeches by repub- lican leaders has been on the theme that an attempt Is being made to

VOTE, If FOR ONLY ONE

For all other offices but Congress
men the voters are to put cross
mark after only one candidate in the
primary election Monday. This per-
tains also to county offices such as
judge of probate, clerk of court, and
county commissioner in the three dis
tricts that come up for election this
year. In county offices the two can
didates receiving the highest vote be-
come the nominees to battle for vic
tory in the fall election. But each
voter votes only for one candidate
which is plainly marked on the bal
lot, samples of which were published
various state offices the voter likewise
expresses his choice for only one
candidate. The candidate with the
highest vote for his office will be de-
clared the nominee on that party bal
lot where his name appears.
In the case of congressman each
voter is to vote for nine candidates
on whatever ticket he chooses to vote
-Farmer-Labor, Republican, or Dem
Ocrat. If the voter puts crosses after
ten or more candidates his ballot is
spoiled. Voting for less than nine
candidates will not spoil the ballot,
so if person is not acquainted with
nine of the candidates, on whatever
ticket he chooses, he may vote for
one, two, three, or any number of con-
congressional candidates up to nine.

HOIDALE, BELL LOOM UP

There is of course no doubt that
Einar Hoidale of Minneapolis, Will
be one of the nine nominees for Con-
gress on the Democratic ticket at the
primary election Monday. Mr.. Hoi-
dale is very able man, progressive
in his viewpoints, and man who
would be a credit to the state in that
office. He made an exceptionally good
run against U. S. Senator Thomas d.
Schall in the election of 1880, and
became acquainted out over the state.
Another person in whom Democra-
tic voters will make no mistake in
voting for is State Senator Robert c..
Bell of Detroit Lakes, and who Will
without doubt be one of the nine Con-
gressiOnal nominees on the Democrat
iC ticket. Senator Bell is a man OF
experience and knows the problems OF
the masses, and what is more he is
an ardent worker to remedy that sit
uation. He has devoted much time
to the furtherance of the income tax
in the state of Minnesota, has written
several articles and has given many
talks on that subject. Perhaps more
than any other man in the state has
he refuted the arguments of the Oppo-
sition. Through his plain explanation
of the subject he has been able to
show that what the opposition is after
is mostly delay and delay, and finally
when an income tax is passed they
want it as weak as possible. Senator
Bell wants teeth in the law when it
is passed and fully appreciates the
great need of tax revision. The SEN
ator was also author of the law to
prohibit the sale of colored oleomar-
garine in Minnesota and other meas
ures for the benefit of the farmers
and workers in the 1881 session.
Anna Dickie Olesen is sure to be
one of the Democratic congressional
nominees due to her wide acquain-
lance and ability on the platform;

COUNTRY WINS

Senator Claude H. Mackenzie of
Gaylord, was reelected Republican
committeeman from Minnesota over
Charles E. Elmquist of St. Paul, for
mer railroad and warehouse commits
sioner, at the national convention in
Chicago, Monday. Senator Mackenzie
got all but seven votes of the % dele
gates. 1t is amusing to note how
much stress is sometimes placed on
location of candidates. The report of
MacKenzie's election, written by Orlin
FOlwick, The Minneapolis Tribune
political writer, says in part: THE
result was that country delegates, not
wanting to turn the committee post
over to the Twin Cities, went down
the line for Mackenzie, hoping that
his country label would give them
the kind of representation they want
ed" One might be tempted to ask
if the color of the skin is different in
the Twin Cities than it is 70 miles
out in the country, or is it the hair
that has different shade?" If lOca-
ton is about the only difference, and
there may not be much more in this
case, there is little to fight about.
The Younger Republicans battled for
Elmquist, but were nicely taken into
camp They will be older Republi-
cans after a while. Mrs. Manley l..
Fosseen was unanimously reelected
national committee woman.

REPUBLICANS HAVE BATTLE

The Republicans have nearly as big
a task in the primary election as
have the Farmer-Laborites in the Sc
lection of nominees for congressman
at-large, for they have 80 candidates
while the newer and aggressive party
has 80 candidates.
In selecting the nine nominees on
the Republican ticket it is just pos
sible that the voters of that party
will leave some of the present con-
gressmen at home and choose men of
more statewide acquaintance to do
battle with the Farmer-LabOr and
Democratic nominees in the fall. Two
| former governors, j. A. A. Burnquist
and Theodore ChristiansOn, stand d
good chance of receiving the nomina-
| tion for congress, as do also Ray p.
Chase, former state auditor, and Hen
ry Rines, long identified with the Re-
publican party. Mr.. Rines, whose
| home is at Mora, was a member of
the legislature for some years, speak
ef of the House, state treasurer,
member of the Commission of Adj
ministratiOn and Finance, and in the
last election came within hairs
breadth of being elected state audi
tor, so is we'll known over the state.
| Present congressman who have
served in public life a long time and
who are expected to win the nomina-
ton will likely include Harold Knut-
son, Victor Christgau, Godfrey G.
Goodwin and w. l. Nolan.
Congressman William A. Pittenger
of Duluth, may get the nomination
and there is also a chance that Con-
gresham Conrad G. Selvig of Crooks
ton, will win in the primaries, but
on the other hand they may be out
distanced by men like N. ]. Holmberg,
former state commissioner of agricul-
ture, John H. HOugen, former state
SENATOR and who made a good race
for lieutenant governor two years ago,
or others with a statewide acquaint-
ance.

After reading of the splendid work
that has been done throughout Pine

feel it as part of my duty to COM
ment upon this subject. The friends
in my community and other places
whom l got to sign the petition, feel
the same as l do-whole-heartedl for
the Frazier bill and that it will pass
in Congress. Other folks feel that it
will not go through, that the money
power will block it. That, of course,
remains to be seen.
Dear friends, if prosperity is to
return, it must start right here at
