Jim Reed, Americas vftuperator
No. 1, came to Minnesota. delivered
an excoriation of President Roosevelt
and the Farmer-Labor party, and de-
parted. leaving Republicans here
gnashing their teeth because the thing
was done too raw for public consump-
tion.
Reed never was charged with TAX
ing the truth too seriously. Like the
Hearst editor, he believes that the
story. Among other things, he said:
"Lundeen Congressman Ernest Lun-
deen) voted and consistently refused
appropriations for ammunition food
and supplies to sustain the American
boys who were battling upon the fields
of France during the World war;"
1t is true that Congressman Lun-
deem was one of those courageous men
who voted against the war, but once
war was declared he did not stand
in the way of its successful prosecu-
tion.
Ernest was not in the city when
Reed delivered his barangue, but his
brother, Dave, was. He sent Reed the
following telegram while the Missouri
Senator was still on the platform.
The telegram read: LAS World
war veteran and brother Of Ernest
Lundeen l demand public apology of
your base falsehood that Ernest Lun-
deem voted against the app opria' ions
during the World war. Ernest Lun-
deem fought for the World War vet
eran during the war and after the
war as no other man in Congress.
When did you serve your country in
time of war? And what gives you
the right to question the loyalty of
man who offered his life for his
| country in time of war;"
Reed did not answer.
After the speech, some Of the Re-
publican leaders were quite nervous.

ment in taking over 4,500 miles of
county roads," N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, declared this
week. He pointed out that these roads
formerly were supported in a Large
measure by local taxation. The high
way department, he said, now admin
listers a system of 11.340 miles with
less funds than were previously spent
on only $500 miles.

They told Reed his remarks about
Lundeen were in error. But Reed
never detracts, nor does he apologize.
He did not in this case.
Efforts were made to have that part
OF Reeds speech deleted in the news
paper reports. Hysterical voices called
busy (maybe drowsy) city editors
But 1t was too late. The speech had
been sent in in advance of its delivery
and had already been printed. The
milk was split, and there was no use
crying in public over it. The best
was made of very bad situation.

In a speech at Hibbing last week,
Martin A. Nelson declared: IF the
Farmer-L abor candidate for Governor
is not trying to trick you, but really
intends to do what he says increase
iron ore taxes sharply you ought
to organize a band of vigilantes to
drive him from the borders OF the
state"
Thus, in an unguarded moment.
Mr.. Nelson gave the people of Mime
sofa a true picture of his inner self.
He presents threat to law and order
should he be elected governor.
A statement such as the above,
calling for mob violence, for Klan and
Black Legion methods, coming from
a man who aspires to the highest
executive office of the state, is shock
ing in this day and age. Were it not
for the fact that it was printed in
exact language in several of the Twin
City dailies one would be justified in
questioning the accuracy of the re-
port 1t is revOlting to every sense
of decency.

State Capitol News
BY A. /. HARRIS

Senator Benson proved himself a
good prophet when he predicted that
the Republicans can be depended upon
to trot the old "red scare" out before
the campaign draws to an end.
The Republicans should know by
this time that the "red scare" scares
nobody any longer-not even the Re-
publicans. One would think that po-
litical history of recent years In Min
nesota would teach them something,
but it doesn't. They still are OF the
opinion that we are living in the
war-hysteria period.
They say that the Old Guard dies
but never surrenders The Minnesota

better cooperation in the observ-
ance of traffic regulations.
Traffic officers were commanded
to watch all school crossings with
special attention and enforce traf-
fic regulations with greater strict
ness
The danger of passing school
buses while they are loading or
unloading was called to the atten-
ton of the public by Oswalt.

way to do 1t is to observe traffic
