A ROMANTIC OLD TRAIL CALLS THE

'talsnx sAeroate of the famous old Natchez
Trace; and any motorist who has any feel
ing at all for one of the most cOlorful OF
all our pioneer trails will hope that Uncle
Sam can see his way clear to obige them.
The Natchez Trace was what passed for
a road, century and more ago, running
for some $50 miles through the woods and
swamps from Nashville, Tenn, to Natchez,
Miss, crossing what now are Tennessee,
Alabama and Mississippi
II probably was the scene of more plain
and fancy violence, bloodshed and murder
than any other road in America.
In the old days when the country west
of the Alleghenies and south Of the Ohio
Just was being opened-when the famous
Burr conspiracy was in the air, and An
drew Jackson was being talked OF, and
steamboats, still were in the future-the
produce of the rich Tennessee and Ken
ticky farm lands went to market at New
Orleans by flatboat, down the Cumbei-
land and Tennessee rivers, over the Ohio,
and down the Mississippi.
1t was easy to get one of those heavy
and unwieldy flatboats down the river, but
exceedingly difficult to get it back up
stream. So the boatmen-rough, tough
chaps who boosted that they were half
horse and half alligator" leave the
Mississippi at Natchez, on their way back
home, and strike out overland for Nash
vile, and the wilderness road they fol
lowed was the great Natchez Trace.
Because it was used by so many travel
ers who carried large quantities OF cash.
the result of their sales in the New Or
leans market, the Trace before long be-
came a favored spot for highwaymen.
The country was thinly settled, law en-
forcement was thing almost unknown
OPPORTUNITIES for ambush were innumera-
BILE.
So the Natchez Trace became a great
scene of violence. Robbery and murder
were common. Great bands of outlaws IN
tested the region.
For wears this wilderness road was the
most dangerous segment of the whole
frontier. If there are ghosts, the old Trace
must be haunted by whole platoons.
To put federal highway along the
whole route would open to motorists ro-
mantle and tradition-laden trail to Amer
ica's past.

The net results Of the election last week are so
mixed up that members Of every party have at least
small thing to be thankful for yet no party can
be wholly jubilant.
Greatest gain was of course made by the Farmer
Labor party which captured the position on the rail-
road and warehouse commission formerly held by
Republican and replaced Republican supreme court
clerk Late reports indicate that the office Of state
auditor also has fallen into the hands of Olson fol-
lower.
The party elected it's candidate for lieutenant gov
and reelected Governor Olson and Attorney
General Peterson By these victories assumes con-
troll Of the important railroad and warehouse commits
sion and the executive committee.
julius A. Schmahl and Mike Holm continue to
represent the Republican party in state affairs which
less anticipated. The thing that makes
Republicans more happy is the recapturing of two
seats in congress- Theodore Christianson and Harold
Knutson reelected and w. A. Pittenger, August
H. Andersen and Melvin j. Mas returned to Washing
ton after one-term absence Ray P. Chase of the
G. o. P. delegation alone eliminated.

Magnus Johnson to Republican Knutson and Francis
Shoemaker being eliminated in three cornered
which he entered after losing his fight for the nomina
tion to the senate. The net FL loss only two
since old friend R. T. Buckler the right to
represent the ninth district.
While the Farmer-Laborite big boys racing for
state offices the minor cogs in the machine slipped
little and the party failed to gain control of the
state senate, the governor hoped and appears to
have lost the house which at least will be hostile to
the cooperative commonwealth idea. This rather

Democrats stand about where they prior to
the election, with congressman E. j. Ryan of the
second district who succeeds Einar Hoidale at Wash

get from the returns must be derived from factiona
defeats and some who profess the Democratic faith
doubt happy to see Regan and Hoidale humbed
by Farmer-Labor opponents.
1t is regrettable that with the party in power at
Washington little is being done to build unified,
progressive and vigorous Democratic party in Mime
sofa. Torn by internal discord and threatened by ILL
advised candidates., the party all but lost the
seat it held in congress It is certainly time to
place those party officials who put personal prejudice
above party success and lay some groundwork along
new deal lines.
