AutOcratS and Autos

Recently striking comparison made between
the United States and the three greatest countries
now under the rule of dictators. in statement by
Stanley F. Morse. of the Farmers Independence
Council of America, who declared that while this
country had an automobile for every persons there
only for every 6S persons in Germany; one
for every 100 in Italy and one for every 921
persons in Russia.
Mr. Morse pointed out that if the radicals sue
coed in making over America only chosen few will
benefit, is illustrated in Russia, where out of
than $50 million people only about million and
half are members of the dominant Communist par
ty, and the country is ruled by committee of u
men. This committee is ruled by the dictator Joseph
Stain, whose power is virtually absolute.
A similar condition exists in both Germany ana
Italy where Hitler and Mussolini respectively hold
autocratic power, and Mr.. Morse fears the United
States is drifting toward like concentration of au
thority in Washington.
Many thoughtful and patriotic citizens in both
political parties share this apprehension and view
with misgivings the extension of bureaucratic acv-
tiles by the national government
If the experience of other countries is worth con-
sheraton it appears that with autocrats in control
we may have fewer automobiles and fewer comforts

Sweitzer Good Running Mate For Nelson

No doubt, Martin Nelson will be the Republican
partys nominee for the office of governor, and ind
cations point excellent chance for his election
next fall. His splendid campaign preceding the last
election. and the wave of enthusiasm, which sweep.
thousands of voters to his banner during the latter
days of his campaign two years ago, have made him
the most popular candidate the Republican state
ticket this year In this connection the Princeton
Union says: He is clean-cut lkeable young attor
ney against whom his political opponents have
been able to bring charge derogatory to his char
acter."
A strong team, the Herald believes would be Mel
for governor, and ]. r. Sweitzer as lieutenant
governor In selecting Sweitzer running mate for
Nelson, Republicans would make no mistake, as he
is young man of considerable experience The Un-
ion has the following to say about Sweitzer: "Al.
though he is only 46 DID, he has served 16
in the legislature At the last session he held the i'm
portant position of chairman of the appropriation
committee in the house. His older colleagues state
that he has alert mind, is level-headed and abso
utely honest. He served a major of artillery in
France in the World War. Russell Swetzer was born
in Pennsylvania but his parents moved to st. Paul
when he quite young boy. He spent his boy
hood there and graduated from Hamline university
His parents who lived in Hamlne, were hard-work
ing, honest, religious people who reared their sons
in an atmosphere of thrift and industry. The boys
contributed to their support while they were
ceving their education. Russell Sweitzer shows the
results of good background and good training. He
is square-toed, vigorous young man. able to take
care of himself and absolutely dependable"

To Those Who Will Drown
Because most of the accidents

Persons unable to swim, mex
