Political Campaign Comes To A
Close


The political campaign in Mime
sofa now drawing to a close has
been in many ways one of the most
unusual ever conducted in this or
any other state.
Issues, in the real sense Of the
word, have meant virtually nothing,
principally, If not entirely, because
of the attitude of the Republican
candidate for Governor.
From the very outset the Repub-
lican departed" from their party
principles and the things they have
always stood for. Their candidate
for Governor stated that the past
record Of his party is not an issue
and the only thing which is an is
sue is the future program. And
their future program is largely an
adherence to Farmer-Labor princi-
Piles and everything which the Re-
publican Party has combatted for
years.
In other words, the Republicans
have said in effect: I'VE no longer
believe in the things the Republi-
can Party throughout its history
has stood for. We have been con-
verted to the principles Of the Far
merILabor Party. Now will you
please put us in office so that we,
instead of the FarmerLLaborites.
can put these things into effect"
Many of these things the liberals
put into effect already over bitter
Republican opposition. The tradi-
tional enemies Of progress asked
the voters to make them the Gus
todians of progress.
A typical example has been the
Republican candidates campaign in
favor Of a state labor relations act.
In the last legislature 1t will be re-
called such an act was passed by
the liberal house on recommends

trolled Senate killed the bill. For

date.
This new line of the Republican
party is a national as well as a
state line. It is an effort to get
back into control of government
through the liberal door-that Is.
by talking like Liberalism order to
again put into effect the policies of
Herbert Hoover. It Is deceptive,
hyprocitical approach, because the
Republican leopard has not so soon
changed its spots; it has merely
changed its campaign slogans. It
is presenting to the voters the same
stick of poison covered with liberal
honey.
The Farmer-Labor candidate,
Governor Benson, has campaigned
on the real issues before the peo-
pie; that is, he has set forth the

hind an attack that was spirited,
Peterman, fullback, and Mature ran
the mail to the first score. They
plugged through for a march of SO
yards to score.
But on the return kickoff Sank
Centre got into the scoring swim
when Pangburn raced for nearly 80
yards on the return to start goal
line march that ended 10 yards
away and penetrated into the Sec
ond quarters allotment. With
Pangburn and Ethun leading the
running attack the lads tore their
way down the field to the Glenwood
rs at the close of the first stanza
Then almost halted when the at
tack begged, short pass was good
for a first down. A roughing pen
atty advanced them halfway to the
goal, and then Ethun cracked for
the score. Cokeley's thrust at the
line was good for the conversion.
But that halted their scoring. In
spite of the fact that Glenwood
marched gaily on to score four more
times, the Sank Centre retreat was
well-ordered. It was not the rout
from the standpoint of play, that
the score indicated.
An intercepted pass turned aside
a Glenwood scoring march in this
second quarter, postponed it for a
few minutes. But the Sank Cen
tire succession failed to spark, and
Pangburn punted out deep into
Glenwood territory. Then the scor-
ing machine was rolled out again
and Glenwood started. With Mature
speeding off the long gains, and
Peterman picking up the workhorse
assignments they "first downed'
their way across the turf in a "a
yard drive that scored before the
half ended. Moreau, right halfback
scored on the play. Glenwood had
made the conversion neither time

From Our EXCHANGES
GOVERNOR BENSON
GOING TOO FAR

Governor ELMER Benson, in his
campaign for reelection, is showing
poor political sense and bad man.
ners in attacking men Of high
standing who belong to political
parties other than his.
Among his unreasonable out
bursts was the other evening at
Little Falls when he attacked Con-
gresham Harold Knutson, veteran
congressman from this district.
With no reason except personal,
the governor stated: Congressman
Knutson is 100 per cent no good as
far as the farmer and worker are
concerned"
In contrast to the governors
opinion, the American Federation
of Labor, the Standard Railroad
Labor Organizations and farm
units have endorsed Congressman
Harold Knutson for reelection for
his great work in their behalf.
The Review has extended the
governor every courtesy and loyal
support, but the writer believes in
fair play and that the governor Is
losing votes every day by his I'M
fair and unwarranted attacks upon
honest and efficient officials who
do not happen to be members Of
the Farmer-Labor party. Should
Governor Benson be defeated this
fall he can blame no one but him
self. -Sebeka Review.

CREAMERIES FACE MENACE
Creamery managers who met III
Long Prairie today in district con-
vention found themselves confront
ed with a new menace to the har-
monious and happy management
that has heretofore characterized
the affairs of these fine farm en-
terprises.
The effort of outside influences
to unionize the plants is becoming
more determined and threatens to
be the next big problem the farm
ers will have to consider.
There Is no objection, in fact
there Is cooperation by all good
citizens to see that those who labor

proper conditions, but it is becom-
ing apparent that the union drive
is not so much for the purpose of
helping the workers as 1t Is to in
crease the political power of the
union leaders and build their war
chests from membership dues.
Creamery help is well paid in
Minnesota and the working condi-
tions are not injurious to health or
strength. There are thousands of
farmers who would be happy to
trade places with the creamery
help they employ, so it is that the
only conclusion that can be drawn
from the program of creamery
unionization is to find a new and
juicy source of revenue for the or.
ganizers.
To the credit Of the creamery
workers, it can be said that the
movement does not come from
them and has support from very
few Of them.
The experience Of Land o. Lakes,
and the creameries at Litchfield,
and New Richmond, Wis, indicates

that on the lone score they did
make, Cokeley did convert.
But Glenwood was rolling ma

IL first downs, amassed 287 yards
to their credit. In the five touch
down marches they tailed 242

on first downs, collecting 10. But

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture.

When I put perfectly white raw
potatoes into the kettle, they come
out greenish gray. How may ]
prevent this?
This undesirable change in color
during cooking Is due to the action
Of iron from the kettle, or to alkali
from the water in which the pota-
toes are cooked. This discoloration
may be prevented by not using iron
utensils in cooking, including chip
ped enamelware that exposes iron.
When cooking with hard water, add
a little vinegar to the water.-Eva
L. Blair, extension nutritionist.
I am feeding prairie hay to my
lambs, and I would like to know
what mineral supplement I should
use with it.
Feed ground limestone or bone
meal; however, bonemeal costs
more and is no better. Lime is the
mineral supplement most needed,
and it can be supplied as ground
limestone. Bonemeal may be used
in place of ground limestone and
will furnish phosphate in addition
to lime, but it costs about dollar
more per 100 pounds. Lambs will
not self-feed on a mineral supple
ment, and it should be mixed with
salt, half and half, or fed with the
protein supplement. When prairie
hay or a non-legume roughage is
fed, it is desirable to feed both a
mineral and a protein supplement
The protein supplement may be
seed meal, or soybean oil meal

FOR HEALTH
TODD PIONEER DIED
The following from the Long
Prairie Leader refers to the grand
father of r. w. Bassett, resident OF
this city, who passed away at his
home in Browerville recently:
The death of Frank Bassett at
the age Of SO marks the passing of
another of the very early pioneers
of the county. He had been resi-
dent 70 years, coming here with
his parents in 1855. During his long
life in the county he had been ac-
tive in public affairs and in the ear
lier days no movement of conse-
quence was without his support. He
was the county's second sheriff and
was a part of the strenuous activ-
tiles that marked the early days
when life was hard and struggle
was the common lot. His fore
fathers came to America in 1925
and the name Bassett appears fire.

be wondered that consideration of
this new menace occupied much

discussed the Republican record in

of the philosophy Of his party with
the real and not the make-believe
philosophy Of the Republican Par
ty.
The Republican candidate for
Governor has refused to be drawn
in that kind of a discussion. He has
yet to make a speech to appeal to
the Republican voter, assuming that
the Republicans will vote for him
anyway, and concentrating all of
his efforts Turing the liberal voter.

Tom and Mrs. Gobbler were very anx-

find that both organizations afterward
did so well that the older organization
soon had membership Of something
like 1000 names on its rolls, while the
new society more than held It's own by
securing signers to the pledge to the

For the better conduct of its affairs
and for the purpose of holding its

the cry for help was not listened to

years before Marcia, the heiress and
