nILIGENT digging by corre-
- spondents has failed to pro-
duce proof that the administra-
ton is actively intervening in the
Minnesota gubernatorial primaries
June 20, although its interest in
the results are considerable.
Farmer-Labor Gov. Elmer Ben
son seeks denomination by his
party and is opposed by former
Lieut.-Gov. Hjalmer Petersen,
who has conservative support.
Benson has consistently supported
Roosevelt and the President is
supposed to favor his reelection.
Harry Hopkins recently removed
State WPA Administrator Victor
Christgau on the ground that he
couldn't get along with others
notably farmer-labor officials
although WPA officials in Wash
ington also had complained of
Christgau's handling of WPA la
Dor troubles.
Previously Jim Farley had told
United States District Attorney
Victor Anderson to file in the
Democratic primary. Anderson
has publicly protested removal of
Christgau, whose friends insist he
was efficient and non-partisan and
that he was ousted-after being
offered Washington job-as q
political move to help Benson.
Tom Gallagher, young lawyer, is
reported likely to beat Anderson

FEWER TO HAVE JOBS?

This is the opinion, well worth close examina-
ton, of The Bolton News:
"The minimum wage law will result IN all of the
Inefficient workers being put on relief. No bust
ness can afford to employ any other than efficient
help. at the proposed scale The inevitable result
of the law is going to be that fewer persons will
be employed. The work now being done by two
inefficient workers will be done by one efficient
worker. Payrolls will be increased. II The same
money will be paid to fewer persons "-Greenville

THINK ABOUT THIS

The other day a prominent man
was heard deploring the lack of
character that causes some chap
to- sit around all day on a stone
wallnoutside a polling place wait
ling for someone to pay him a
quarter for his vote; yet that
same business man cast his vote
for a certain political outfit be-
cause said outfit promised if elect
ed to reduce his privilege tax
from $50 to $25. Now which of
those men is the more deplorable
the one who does not pretend
to be anybody and sells his vote
for twenty-five cents, or the one
who poses high in church, bust
ness and social circles and sells
his vote for twenty-five dollars :?
There must be an honest attitude
on the part of the best people to-
ward politics before politics will
be honest.

of it by fair means or foul-and
he considers foul means fair in
politics. If he had to be honest
in politics he would lose interest
in politics. If you would get the
crooks out of politics, make poll
tics crook-proof.

THE SEVEN SLEEPERS

They are sleeping! Who are sleep
ing?
Children, wearied with their play.
In their slumbers they are dream
ing
Of their cherished future days.
Older ones have many visions
Of their future days to come,
They know how evil seems always
present,
But seen through light is over
come.
They are sleeping! Who are sleep
ing?
Pioneers who blazed the way
Through a rough and unknown
country;
Where their freedom they would
gain.
From the seacoast, through the
mountains,
Struggling on through many
needs,
With anxious hearts and brave
intentions
Hoping, striving to succeed.
They are sleeping! Who are sleep
ing?
Those who brought the light to
bear,
From the hills and through the
wildWoods,
Which has been our guiding star.
Those who led the caravans
Through the wilderness SO dreary,
And cleared the way for beast
and man,
Though their footsteps oft were
weary.
They are sleepingl Who are sleep
ing?
Farmers, who have titled the soil,
And have made our lives success
By their careful honest toll.
We think you've done your bit,
and left US. . : {. "
But your memory still is dear;
1t brings us back to the old plan
tation;
Even to the old arm chair.
They are. sleeping! Who are sleep
ing?
Those who strove to lay the plan;
Where justice, freedom and COM
passion
Should be shown to every man.
Each one in life will meet OBJ
structions;
Which we all can overcome,
If We'll strive through faith and
justice,
The darkness soon will all be
gone.
They are sleeping! Who are sleep
ing?
Misers, with their boarded gold;
For which they faced the storm
and sunshine;
Through the heat and through
the cold.
They strove to obtain this much
priced treasure, .s
And now perhaps are called away,
To seek the gold which does not
canker,
In an.unknown country, far away.
They are sleeping Who are sleep
ing? y
Many, from our homes and halls;
Who worked to save our glorious
> nation;
Aid give freedom to us all. q
They drew the line of demarka-
| ton
'Twixt evil and the rights Of
man.
That justice and love abide for
ever;
With peace on Earth, good will
to mem"

A STATEMENT

I wish very sincerely to express
my deep appreciation to all my
friends, both Democrat and Repub-
lican, who tried to assist me in Sc
curing the Malta postoffice. l have
received messages and letters from
dear true friends 1 will never for
get. If my dear old mother was
living she would say, "Good friends
are worth more than money" K
have always been a good Democrat
worker and will continue to be a
Democrat. I tried twice for the Of
flee and said each time, I did not
want the place unless / could get il
straight and honest God knows L
lived by those statements. / know
of no other postoffice in the county
where any applicant for the place
ever competed with those having
experience in the office, as | did
each time, and only one instance
where one with highest grade re-
ceived the appointment as is the
case now under the new ruling. So
many have asked me concerning the
appointment that / am making this
statement. I hold no malice to-
ward anyone. With best wishes to-
all-Charles Finley.

25 YEARS OF 10Th DISTRICT
In HALLS OF CONGRESS

The Ohio congressional family iT
the national halls of legislation is
always an interesting story and Al
the present time it is of particular
interest in that history is being
made at rapid pace, with a world
uel, with President Roosevelt at the
helm and tbe congress in harness
with determination that is of the
sterner stuff of American manhood
The 18th Ohio district made ur
of Guernsey, Monroe, Morgan
Noble, Muskingum and Washington
counties and Of which Robert T. Sc
crest, of Caldwell is the present oc-
cupant, is bringing the story Of the
Ohio family of congressman home.
During the past quarter century
or IA terms of two years each, the
Republicans have had eight terms
or 16 years and the Democrats six
terms, or twelve years.
The quarter century started OIL
back in 1910 when George White OF
Marietta, defeated James Joyce, OF
Cambridge, for his, Joyce's second
term. White was again successful
in 1912 and got his second term.
In 1914 William C. Mooney, OF
Woodsfield, defeated White for a
third term, however, he remained

staged comeback and defeated
Mooney in year Immediately fol
lowing the Governor Cox gerry
mander of Ohio congressional dis

In 1918 C. Ellis Moore, of Cam
bridge, defeated White and was sue
cessful again in 1920, 1922, 1924,
1926, 1928 and 1880, remaining in
congress seven terms, or IA years
In 1882, Moore went down in de-
feat before Robert T. Secrest, OF
Caldwell, and Secrest was again sue
cessful in 1894 and 1886 and is the
present congressman from the 18TH
Ohio district and is a candidate to
succeed himself in 1888.
During the quarter century just
past, two Democrats have been con-
gresham from the 18th district,
White three terms and Secrest three
terms and still going strong. And
likwise there have been two Re-
publicans, Mooney one term of two
years and Moore seven terms or IA
years.
In 1914 there were ~ Repub
licans and ten Democrats in the
Ohio delegation in congress. In
1916 the Democrats were in the ma
jority with 13 members while the
Republicans had nine.
The Republicans remained in the
majority until 1892 when there
were 16 Democrats and six Repub-
licans and the delegation has re-
