District Loyal to Clague

DlStTict LOydl w NidSuC
CONGRESSMAN CLAGUE's name has been men
toned frequently in connection with stories ant
- editorial comment dealing with the reapporton
ment act and the approaching election. Decision OF
the supreme court the vrility of Governor Olson
veto will determine whether candidates will at
large or in nine districts instead of the old ten.
Mr.. Clague is one of the few present congressman
who are rated strong candidates in race atarge
Although vote seeking within the district would be fan
economical than in the state atarge it is adj
mitted that Mr. Clagues in the statehouse and
his long service at Washington have made him fig
ure well known throughout the state. The fact that
he was the choice of state colleagues for speaker last
fall indicated voters that he is well thought of in
legislative circles. There is much to be gained BY
keeping men at the capitol for long periods.
Support within the district, apparently is en-
thusiastc as ever. There has been little criticse
in Mr.. Clagues and few candidates could make
sufficiently attractive promises to voters to leave
the faithful servant they have. Below clip
pings from editorial columns of two newspapers O.
the district each crediting Mr. Clague with good work
"The name of Congressman Frank Clague appears
in the section of the Herald in several places
this week. In each instance he has performed bene
fetal service for the people of Murray county.
First he prospective investors about an al
legged swindle then in response to urgent telegram
from the county agent he got in touch with the U. s.
Agricultural department and that immediate &C
ton taken in regard to the matter of supplying
feed for destitute farmers in the western part of the
county
Them as if to top off the splendid service rendered
so far Mr.. Clague successful in keeping the Star
Route mail service from Sayton to Currie to Tracy
from being removed, planned by the postoffce
department.
Few district can boast like the Second District of
Minnesota of having capable congressman as
Frank Clague.-Slayton Herald
"Just last night this writer muled through one of
Frank Days old letter files year 1924
Under the index letter sc" we found not less than
forty letters and kilograms from the congressman dis
closing service rendered directly to this community
by Mr. Cague in procuring the postofice building oc-
casional other subjects of individual or
munity Importance
The Second District never had congressman
useful to his constituency than Mr. Clague. It's
in the record, just as found it in Frank Days old
letter file last night.
And by the way paragraphs above quoted from
the Sayton paper pretty well dsposes of rumors that
its publisher, Senator Vim Weber, has any intention
of trying to wrest the congressional nomination from
Mr.. Clague-Fairmont Sentinel
Ours Strange Era
IN lGGING among Egyptian ruins relics of real
J or historic value has appealed to us as
particularly fascinating occupation. However,
1T would be interesting to be several thousands
of years from when civilization is exposed to
unsympathetc eyes after long dust-gatherng period
Some of our governmental practices should be
particularly interesting for instance hire postof
fee department officials supposedly to deliver mail
and they spend much of their time lining up votes for
their chief
They will be amused to find that when we elect
a governor or president, at the time elect
his friends and supporters to positions in kindred Of
fees We turn out the tried old workers and try new
ones
Then when the campaigns come along job ap-
pointees contribute to fund to get the chief reeeet
ed. Employment insurance in a sense
They would certainly be Disguised to find us de-
voting much space to the rights and wrongs of
prohibition while large percentage of the popua-
ton has nothing to eat let alone drink
Tax agitation may prove amusing then if means
OF operating the government without has
been devised. Otherwise they'll wonder how we ex-
pcted to get something for nothing.
Any number Of other peculiarities could be listed
We laud the thrifty and laugh at the Scotch; short
skirts are the style one season, long the next
market gamblers sell things they do not own buy and
sell again and make profit; land is cheap vet we
build muti-story buildings; poets write poems
without rhyme reason; artists paint figures
the layman doesn't recognize buy radios to listen
to occasional worthwhile programs among mass of
blah Dilgent digging will disclose other interesting
oddities including cynical editors.
The most provoking husband is one who talks
indistincty in his sleep.
An educator advances the novel idea that school
children should be taught how to SPELL
Fewer college girls marry, which may indicate
that higher education improves the judgment
