Miss Edith Irene Williams,
daughter of Mrs. Carrie Williams
of 1866 Blair street, and sister of
the famous pianist, Mr.. Sydney
Williams, was married Saturday,
February Is, at z p. M, in the
home of her mother at beauti-
fully appointed ceremony to Mr..
Albert Lee Preston, son of Mr..
William Preston of st. Anthony
avenue, in the presence of rela-
tives and close friends. The bride
was attractive in a white satin
fitted model with a high neckline
and long sleeves, trimmed with
white pearls, with which she wore
white sandals. Her only jewelry
was a string of pearls, the gift of
the groom, and she carried sheaf
of Gala lilies. Her sister, Miss
Ora Williams, was the maid of
honor, and she wore a pink taffeta
dress, robe de style with a high
standing collar. Her shoes were
silver sandals, and she carried a
bouquet of roses and sweet peas.
Mr.. Sydney Williams played the
wedding march, and the service
was read by Rev. W. E. Guy, pas
tor of st. James A. M. E. church.
About one hundred attended the
reception, where many beautiful
and useful gifts were on display.
A pink and white motif was used
for the affair throughout. Mrs.
Williams, mother of the bride,
wore blue crepe with blue kid slip
pers and a shoulder corsage of
sweet peas. Mr.. Charles Hargrave
attended the groom as best man.

both a senator and a governor.
That Olson personally selected
Benson to succeed him is another
matter but the fact remains that
the Elites know that they must

they wish to maintain their hold
on the state. The election of
Olson alone will not do it.
Concentration of the COP.

are: a bunch of crooked conniv-
ing politicians. They should be
denounced as murderers. Had
pleas for clean, unpolluted water
been needed, those six deaths
would not have occurred during
the typhoid epidemic last year.
Those deaths have been traced to
polluted city water, and though
typhoid germs have, for the
meantime, been doped out of the
water, the odorous, vile-tasting
mixture the citizens are now
drinking is unhealthy, and the
city water plant has no positive
safeguard against another out

The reasons why the CHG.
have been bucking pure water

logical and otherwise. The time
for guessing, however, has pass

heed the pleas of pure water ad-
herents, and agree to sinking Of

accompanied by proof, why court

major elections in the fall. Mar
tin A. Nelson is practically a GER
tainty as far as the Republican
nomination goes, and the only
man to beat Benson. Theodore
Christensen, likewise, is the
only man to beat Olson. He has
intelligence and experience and,
what may prove even more i'm
portant, a potent name, one that
is well know to voters. The real
stumbling block in the way of
Christianson's nomination is Mrs.
Tom Schall, who, while perhaps
intelligent enough, lacks the es-
sential experience and certain
"it'' which are essential to a sue
cessful candidate. 1t is only be-
cause of her husbands potent
name that Mrs. Schall is a SER
ious threat for nomination. If
given a clear field, Christianson
could beat Olson, and with Mar
tin Nelson opposing Elmer Ben
son, Minnesota would be rid of
the threat of a Huey Long die

WHY is CITY HALL GANG
FIGHTING PURE WATER
PROPOSALS?

Continued from page y
wood, Mimi, and North to
South from North Branch,
Mimi, to Charles City, Iowa.
The stock reply of the city hall
gang to pleas for artesian wells
has been, and is, that the city's
supply of artesian water is Gin
adequate" The statement of
w. N. Winchell blasts that argu-
ment. Another city hall gang
argument is that artesian wells
are not feasible" That's rather
an idiotic argument when one
considers that the great city of
Brooklyn, with a population of
over two and a half million, is
supplied with pure water by only
three hundred large wel1s-and
at less cost than tn our city! Be-
sides Brooklyn, there are three
hundred and thirty cities which
use water from artesian wells,
with perfect satisfaction.
The bluff pulled by the court
house gang about piping water
from Lake Superior is so ex-
tremely ridiculous that one Won
ders if the local politicians know
whether to butter their bread
with a fork or a knife. Also, if
the CHG. had cared to trouble
themselves, they might have dis
covered the damning fact that
Lake Superior water is anything
but pure. In 1882 people in Du-
luth and Superior were dying so
fast from drinking polluted Su-
perior water that filtration plant
had to be installed in a hurry.
Not only that, West Superior
people are sinking artesian wells,
as their own Lake Superior wa
ter is not fit for use.
Piped in, Lake Superior water
can be had only at an enormous
cost-between forty and fifty
millions-more money than the
city of Minneapolis can afford |;

and besides, why 60 to the ex-
pense of piping polluted water
/ from Superior, when the Mis-
sissippi water, in which there is
just as much pollution, is nearer
at hand?
The unwholesome water sys-
tenn of our city has cost us
around $27, 100000 in the last
twenty years. In securing arte-
sian water, Minneapolis would
need only about a hundred wells,
which could be sunk at cost of
$4,000 each.
There are the facts about the
feasibility of artesian wells.
These facts prone that artesian
wells are to the best interests and
health of the city. Noz0 7Ohy is
the city hall gang opposing pure
aUoter? Why have they gone to
such great lengths to bring in
crooked engineers from pipe line
companies, paid chemists from
chemical companies who supply
this city with chemicals for our
river water at a cost to tax pay
ers of $4,000 a year, who have
been used to spread propaganda
against artesian wells?
When pinned up against the
wall by public demand for arte.
sian wells, the CHG. have pull.
ed the Superior bluff out of the
bag in an endeavor to split public
opinion and divide the propon.
ents of pure water against them.
selves.
Not long ago ]. A. Jensen, wa.
ter superintendent, said he made
trip of inspection with an engi-
neer from the Great Eastern
Pipeline Company of New Jer.
sey to discover the most feasible
route for piping water down
from Superior. This was at a
time when pure water adherents
were pressing the CHG. hard.
And, most remarkable thing, it
took Jensen and that engineer
just exactly taOo days to make
an inspection over a hundred and
sixty mile route! The most re-
markable engineering feat ever
accomplished! Think of it-over
