ere anything might happen anytime the perspec- es of these poems, written twenty and eighteen ars ago are thought provoking: I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH have rendezvous with Death At disputed barricade When Spring comes back with rustling shade And apple blossoms fill the air I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and fair It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath It may be shall pass him still. I have a rendezvous with Death On some scared slope of battered hill, When Spring comes round again this year And the first meadow flowers appear. God knows twere better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down, Where love throbs out in bssfu sleep, Pulse nigh to pulse and breath to breath, Where hushed awakenings are dear, But I've rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town When Spring trips north again this year, And to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.
 Allan Seeger. YOU KEPT YOUR RENDEZVOUS WITH
 DEATH
 You kept your rendezvous with Death! Attended by your bayonet, You crossed the poppy fields and met The edge of dawn in whose soft glow You kept your rendezvous with Death, While vagrant winds blew to and fro He drove his lance through your young side And fiercely oosed the crimson tide Whose ebb stole ruthlessly your breath With eager step and radiant glance You kept your rendezvous with Death And spent your flaming life for France; So only might the fleur-de-lis And the beeagured Marne be free! God knew twere better you should sleep A broken soldier on some hill, Your grave shrine, than cradled deep With you love, breath touching breath, Still hear France call, Christ send us men!' You kept your rendezvous with Death At daybreak when the steel was chill And drowsy poppes nodded then On your pledged word, through fields of
 dew
 You hastened to that rendezvous.

KNUD WEFALD

The progressive movement in the
state of Minnesota lost dfligent and
tireless worker in the death of Knud
Wefald in st. Paul Sunday night fol-
lowing a heart attack. Mr.. Wefald,
a member of the state Railroad &
Warehouse Commission since 1882,
had been in i'll health for several
years.
Born in Norway Mr.. Wefald added
his efforts to that of the many fine
Scandinavians, who have helped great
ly in making Minnesota one of the
greatest states in the Union, and the
liberal movement which means so
much to the people in general has
been richer by his having lived.
The Commissioner had an active
81 years of life, coming to this coun-
try when but a young man. He was
first in the lumber business at Haw-
ley, and then for two years-1929 and
1930-he edited Normanden, a Nor
wegian language newspaper, pub
lished at Fargo, N. d. He was ap-
pointed secretary of the big Three"
in 1881 and in 1892 was elected to a
six year term as Railroad & Ware
house Commissioner.

TRIBUTE PAID TO
HJALMAR PETERSEN

The following letter was re-
ceived by the editor of the Askov
American which calls attention
to the qualifications Of Hjalmar
Petersen, Askov's representative
into state political circles:
At this time in all the excitement
of the campaign, it may not be out OF
the way to recall, that here in Askov
and Pine County we have a man,
Governor Hjalmar Petersen, who has
signally honored the community.
Through constant application to work,
with exceptionally good judgment
and at all times being willing to lis
ten to those whom he figured were CIV
ing him unbiased advice-he rose to
the highest office in Minnesota. For
tune did not decree at this that he
would be given permission to run for
the governorship to succeed himself
but his record of unselfishness towards
the ideals of the Farmer-Labor party,
make him eligible in the future for
great honors.
Governor Petersen now seeks the
office of Railroad & Warehouse Com
missioner very important office.
For what he has done for the state,
Pine county, and Askov, it would be
only an act of gratitude to give him
our vote. S. ]. SIMONSEN.

On To Victory

The election campaign is drawing
to a close. On November 3, the citi-
zens of our state and nation will go
to their respective polling places to
register their soverei IN will. What
a grand spectacle Citizens, not sub
jects. free people possessing and ex-
ercising power of sovereignty. How
different in many great European
countries where the masses, appar-
emily, are returning to serfdom and
bondage. 1t is good to live in Amer
lea!
Although | am a candidate for the
office of railroad and warehouse COM
missioner, l have found very little
time to conduct an active campaign.
The heavy duties which fell upon my
shoulders Late in August upon the
death of our beloved leader. Floyd B.
Olson, have left but little time for
personal campaign. l have found 1t
necessary to rest my case in the
hands of our faithful party workers
and loyal friends throughout the state
To them all l shall remain under a
debt of gratitude.
The game is in the final minutes
of the last quarter. Let us not for
get that it is the we'll drilled team.
the team that has retained its fl ht-
ing spirit, its capacity for organized
and united effort, that produces the
final victorious result. United we
shall win. We shall re-elect Franklin
Delano Roosevelt. the champion of the
forgotten man and woman, to the pres
idency of the United States; we shall
elect Ernest Lundeen to the office of
United States senator, Elmer A. Ben
son to the office of governor. Unitedly,
we shall elect every Farmer-Labor en-
dorsed candidate On the state ticket,
on the congressional tickets, and our
legislative candidates.
Our party is peoples party. Min
nesota citizens know their friends.
We shall not be confused by last min
ute roorbacks. The Farmer-Labor
party is on the march to victory!

enough to show a man how to bring

who ought to be in school, or per-
hitting the wife of his bosom to be-
come the private secretary of an
other woman's husband when she
ought to be at home training her chill
dren to become honest men and

THE IMPORTANCE
OF VOTING

The United States form of govern
ment is good, but the only thing
wrong at the present time is the fact
that it has gradually been getting
away from us. We have been stay
at-homes at election time, while those
who have had axes to grind have
been on the job. Those, who have
special favors to seek and who are
now riding the crest of the wave
controlling the wealth of the nation
have seen to it that their program
has been carried through. The people
have been neglected, and it is, greatly,
their fault; they have failed to exer-
else their privilege at election time;
they have failed to vote.
The estimated voting strength in
Pine county is approximately 10000,
but we have generally fallen far short
of that; in fact in 1894 it is seen
that more than a thousand citizens
did not vote. They preferred to let
this important function pass by with
out effort. And then we wonder at
the condition we find ourselves in.
The old saying goes somewhat to the
effect that if you want a thing done,
do it yourself. This can also apply
to voting. Your vote can be an i'm
pOrtant part of a program which you
want to see carried out. Don't fail
to exercise your constitutional right.
Minnesota has a qualified voting
population of 1,282,876, but, however,
the largest vote has been 1,O64, 1892
This shows that 21S,544 failed to vote
In some localities and perhaps gen.
orally out over the country, women
take their voting responsibility light
ly, but this year especial effort is
Why should not the women be in
terested in voting? Women, if wal
comes, you have very much at stake
Your sons will become cannon fodder
to enemy guns; your homes will be
wrecked. Your vote can prevent sucf
conditions. The people in general d.
not want war, but it is foisted upo1
them and it is UP to the people t,
prevent such catastrophe. They out
number those who want it and like
wise the people outnumber those VIII
would exploit them.
Stand up for your rights and vot
on this election day If never before
Women fought and suffered for man
years to get you the right to vote
Now use 1t !

SENATOR COUZENS

Death has ended the life of another
public official. United States Senator

cumbed last Thursday in a Detroit
hospital following an operation to re.

Senator CouZens was regarded as
one of the wealthiest men in the ma

was wealthy, he was one of the ad,
vocates of heavy taxes upon the rich
This fact, which of course the wealthy
bitterly opposed, possibly caused his

the great humanitarian in the White
House came to the rescue with his
militant program of activity. The
opponents don't say anything about
the tremendous debt which was made
to save Europe, but they do raise a
kick about the money spent in saving
America.
Labor can be thankful, too, said the
speaker, for much legislation has been
passed for its benefit and he went on
to enumerate the various bills passed.
LandOn Liked Funds.
Mr.. Landon, when he was merely
the governor of Kansas, liked the
funds which came to his state from
Washington and at the hands of
Roosevelt and he praised the CWA
program. That was when he was
just a governor, said the speaker.
The Republicans have failed the peo-
pie for 60 years in Minnesota, said
Mr.. Regnier, and he condemned the
Red Scare which has been raised by
them.
Mr.. Regnier concluded his speech
by pleading for the reelection of
Roosevelt and for each of the Farmer
Labor candidates He paid tribute to
Governor Hjalmar Petersen, who is a
candidate for Railroad & Warehouse
Commissioner.
Osborne Scored False Accusations.
The last speaker on the program,
Joseph E. Osborne of st. Paul, told
of the absurdity of the accusations
which branded as Communists Pres
fdent Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt and
many economic advisers. There is
no truth to the accusations, said
Mr.. Osborne, and he proceeded to
give proof. He explained that the
New Deal enactments, instead of be-
ing communisttc, were merely mild
social changes which should have
been brought about years ago.

communism or at least to give it a
setback. it to re-elect Roosevelt

dollars worth I'm farms and $40 mil

will save them plenty when it is seen
that Amendment No. 2, if passed,
would strike off their state property
levy, and also since they spend but
little money in the state for things
on which they would pay sales tax.
Where VIII Money Come From?
In speaking against Amendment No.
2. Senator Lommen told of many coun-
money from the state than they pay,
but his own county where the mining
companies are, would be very much
up against 1t If the Amendment were
passed, for it pays in on a proportion
basis of about 81 and gets in return
from the state but 25c. Where would
the money come from? the speaker
asked. 1t would have to be raised
locally or in other words the burden
would fall greatly on the people. The
steel trust doesn't spend for children's
shoes, it doesn't spend for hammers
take money from the state.
The mining companies, the insur-
ance companies and the banks do not
pay an income tax like the people
do if they are fortunate to make
enough; the mines only pay on the
basis of net income, thanks to Repub-
lican leadership. Furthermore the
mines are anxious to renew their
leases on certain state lands, much
of which will expire in two years.
They want to renew it under the same
rate of Csc per ton which the Repub-
Hcan administration years ago let
them have it for. The liberals want
them to pay S5c per ton as they do
to private owners.
Regnier Pleads for Liberal
Leadership.
E. L. Regnier, former state sena-
tor and former campaign manager for
the Farmer-LabOr party, asked his
audience if they remembered the fam
Gus round the corner" prosperity of
the Hoover time, the two cars in each
garage and two chickens in every pot.
He said we had the cars but all of
the air was out of the tires, gas out
of the tanks and the chickens had
jumped from the pots and had starved
to death.
Mr.. Regnier, who is a forceful
speaker, reviewed the dark years of
the Hoover regime when banks were
closing every where and he compared
the prices of then to now which
showed much improvement at the
present time under Roosevelt. Bank
failures in 1885 were the fewest in Is
years, he said.
He praised the CWA, WPA and
PWA for having put money in the
hands of the workers throughout the
nation and who in turn placed it in
the tills of business by paying old
accounts and making new purchases.
Business welcomed the day, said the
speaker, when the programs were
started and these should all mater
ialize into lasting monuments for
Roosevelt.

community was the center, were absO-
lutely helpless to aid themselves and
