sentative of the Dillinger family

sale were needed to pay Dillin-
gers funeral expenses.
When Dillinger was killed by
Federal agents in Chicago, ap-
proximately $3.50 was found on

ger representative that the law

AS OLSON SMILES
(The st. Paul Daily News)

There will be no fusion between
Republicans and Democrats to defeat
Gov. Olson, Farmer-Laborite, if it in
wolves the withdrawal of John E.
Regain, Democratic nominee for gov
ernOr.
Those who entertained any such
idea have now been set right by the
MankatO lawyer. Fusion, if any,
must come from the Republicans and
its prospects have been further. re-
moved by Mr.. Regans outright state
ment.
In a measure Mr.. Regan is right.
He has never been for fusion. In the
hottest fight of the primary campaign,
he has come off with first honors.
The combined Democratic vote for the
gubernatorial candidates in the pri-
mary greatly exceeds that for the Re-
publican candidates. Democracy has
staged a comeback and the G. o. P.
is now on the skids. Therefore if
there is to be any fusion to defeat
the common enemy, it must come
from the latter.
And the action of the Republicans
in insisting upon some of the minor
state offices and indicating a DISPOSE
ton at their convention to withdraw
the nominees for governor, attorney
general and, perhaps, senat or,
strengthens Mr.. Regan's case.
On the other hand the practical
politicians declare that Mr.. Regain is
not the man even under fusion to
beat Gov. Olson. They point to the
fact, moreover that number of Gov.
Olson's friends voted for Mr.. Regain
in the primary on the theory that he

STILL FUSING

1t appears that The Minneapolis
Journal is still anxious to have flu
sion between the Republican and
Democratic parties in an attempt to
defeat the Farmer-Labor party in the
fall election. Their editorial on
this subject recently further re-
veals that there is but little differ
ence between the Republican and
Democratic parties in Minnesota. Or
why should they be so anxious for
fusion? A battle between those two
parties has often been referred to
as a sham battle. The concluding
paragraphs in The Journal editorial
follows:
There is still another way. Both
nominees may remain on the ballot,
with a request by one nominee and
his committee that voters of their
party go for the other candidate.
That has been done before, and if
necessary, it can be done again.
''The decision that may lead to
fusion is in the hands, first of the
nominees, and then of their respec-
tive committees. Back of them, how
ever, is a great body of public senti-
ment which is impatient CT party
line barriers to united action.
eff the parties will not fuse, these
voters WILL"

FUSION
Minneapolis Starr

Talk about fusion of the anti-Olson
voting strength in Minnesota goes on
just as it has been going on for
months.
One trouble with the idea is that
it is further from accomplishment
now than when it was first proposed.
Another difficulty is that most of
the people who are sincerely talking
fusion are so politically innocent
that they do not yet realize that the
primaries in both Republican and
Democratic parties were really con-
tests for control of the party machin-
cry rather than efforts to nominate
an outstanding candidate for COVER
nor.
People who advocate fusion and
argue its feasibility and possibilities
and in the same breath admit they
have no one in mind on whom the
voters of both old parties could be
united should study one of the oldest
of political anXioms, you can't beat
somebody with nobody"
And Governor Floyd Olson, even his
most bitter enemies must admit, is
today a considerable somebody in
Minnesota politics.

TIMBER HOLDS MOISTURE

Barren lands do not retain the
moisture as does wooded areas, there
fore in a year of drouth like this
one, it is only natural that areas with
good vegetation appeal to folks from
dried out areas. The LittlefOrk Times
contains the following comment on
the influx of settlers to their vicinity:
Land seekers are flocking to
Koochiching county from drouth
areas of the Southwest, seeking farm
lands. Hardly a day goes by that
does not see one or more farmers
from the drouth stricken areas of the
south here looking for a new loca-
tion. And all are surprised and
pleased at the richness of the soil and
the luxurious crops and other vege-
tation. 1t looks wonderful after COM
ing from the dried out areas. Several
hundred farm families are expected
to move into the Littlefork valley and
other parts Of the county this year.
1.-TWO men from Melrose are spend
ing a few days around Littlefork look
ing for farms. They are Joe Eimmer
and VIM. Weisser. They stated that
at least forty families in their ter
ritory are right now planning on NOV
ing here. All have cattle, farm ma
chinery and equipment but are tired
of farming in the drouth area and
are looking for greener and cleaner
land in this territory where drouth
is unknown"

VALUE OF YOUR NEWSPAPER
(Eyeleth ClariOn)

The message of large wholesale
house to retail merchants throughout
the Northwest demonstrates its Opin-
ion of newspapers. The value of your
local newspaper to the success of your
business cannot be over-estimated.
It's worth all the support and CO
operation you can give it. For the
newspaper is mirror reflecting the
life of the community in which you
and your store have an important
part. Your advertisement is the re-
Election of your store in the mirror.
Everybody sees it there If it is not
there, the mirror is dark where your
store should be. You are there, but
you cannot be seen. Your store is
open for business as usual, but "out
of sight, out of mind"
To keep in step with the progress
Of the community, to get your share
of business, you must advertise regu-
larly. Take your newspaper publisher
into your confidence; he can give you
valuable assistance. Establish an adj
vertising budget. Plan a regular
schedule for your advertisement. It's
a policy that is followed by the most
successful stores; it's an idea that
will be profitable for you.

A NEW WAR MEMORIAL
(The st. Paul Daily News)

Orange, Mass, is going to have a
new war memorial.
But it isn't going to have the usual
grim kahki-clad figure rushing for
ward with fixed bayonet-not even the
heroic and defiant soldier standing
with helmet rakishly tilted and eyes
uplifted.
The model of the Orange memorial
shows seated soldier in trench cap
and roll puttees, one arm about a
young schoolboy, books under arm,
who stands at his side. The soldier
is telling the schoolboy a story-and
from their attitudes you can see that
it is no fantasy about the soldiers
personal herOism.
The soldier is plainly telling the
boy, not how he, too, may some day
attain to military glory, but how he
may help bring about a day when
there shall be greater glories.
All this will shine forth from the
bronze figures. And who shall say
that such a war memorial is less a
memorial to the American soldier
than those Victories" and "Glories"
that clutter France?
