VOTERS NOT
ACCEPTING DICTATION-
Voters as rule, when they are
not so busy with other affairs that
they cannot do their own thinking
in political matters, do not like to
take dictation from anyone, net
even, it appears, from the Presi-
dent of the United States. President
Roosevelt personally invaded Mary
Hand in an attempt to defeat Sena-
tor Tydings whom he termed con-
sentative. Tydings had drawn upon
himself the wrath Of the chief ex-
ecutive by refusing to line up with
the New Deal program and was one
of the Democrats slated for retire
ment by the administration. But
the Democratic voters Of Maryland
on Monday endorsed Tydings by a
substantial majority.
Four Republican officials In
Maine strongly opposed by the
Roosevelt administration We're re-
elected on Monday by big major
Titles.
According to the morning papers
the purge is not working in
Georgia. The candidate for United
States senator endorsed by Rocse-
welt is running third.
After all, this nation is not ready
for one-man form of government.

The Minnesota Republican plat
form gets both censure and praise
from the Minnesota Leader, farmer
labor organ for Minnesota. In the
last issue of the Leader, which is
the first after Mr.. Stassen gave his
keynote speech, much publicity
is given to the speech and to the
republican platform.
Much of Mr.. Stassen's speech is
copied as is also parts of the repub-
lican platform. The comments on
the various extracts from the adj
dress and the platform are far from
favorable, but it does give the read
ers Of this paper, If they have not
seen the address or platform some
other place, the chance to read
these parts.
Mr.. Stassen is mentioned on prac-
tically every page of the issue and
en- several pages he is mentioned
again and again. Mr.. Stassen is
called, as we prophesized he would
the meat packers candidate.
On page one there is great deal
Of criticism of the platform, but
when you reach page three there
are two long articles which are in
tended to prove that this republican
platform had been stolen from that
of the farmer-labor party. 1t may
be hard tc, reconcile these two ideas
first, that it is bad, and second that
it is copied from their own platform
but there are always inconsistent
cies, even if they are not always
so close together. The Glenwood

PLACING THE BLAME

Europe is about to be plunged into
another war but we do know that if
there is another war we will be told
after it is all over that it was start
ed by International bankers, NUM-
ton makers or whatever group hap
pens to be out of favor at that part
ocular time. And who will tell us
this? The politicians. The polite
ians, as usual, will find someone
that the public should hate. And
if it isn't the politicians who are
themselves to blame for most Of
the mess the world is in at the
present time then We'll put in with
you. This world could still be made
a fairly respectable place if the
politicians could be put out of cir
culaticn for while. AS a class,
they are the worlds public enemy
number one. Thief River Falls
