COMMUNICATED

Well, another of Hjalmar Peterson's
campaign leaders failed to resist the
tempting sugar-coated bait dangled be-
fore his eyes by the clever BensoniteS.
This time the victim was David Lun-
deem. An earlier victim was DR.. Nc
Naught.
IF these men were sincere when they
campaigned for Hjalmar Petersen, they
cannot turn about now to support Ben
son without making hyprocriteS of
themselves, one way or the other. And
there is no room for hypocrisy in this
campaign. This is fight to the finish
between those who stand for good
government and those who Sympathize
with Communists and other extreme
radicals and who favor the political
machine. In short, it is fight between
the administrations Mexican Generals
and the rank and file of Minnesota
liberals. And forgetting what they have
said about the Mexican Generals, Lun-
deem and Mcknight have taken a stand
with the enemies of good government.
And dare say, as result of that move
they will lose much of the high esteem
in which they were held by honest,
sincere liberal men and women of this
state. How can we respect men who
first attack, and then defend political
machine and the bosses who run it?
How can anyone but hyprocrite turn
around, and defend those whom he has
attacked and criticized, when there has
not been the slightest change and not
even trace of reform. How can Lun-
deem and Mcknight defend their &C
ton?
I quote from a letter written to me
by a man high in present state adj
miniStration: "You say that you are a
liberal and I have no reason to doubt
your word For that reason I ask you
whether you should not give the entire
matter further consideration to de-
termine whether or not you are sup
porting the true liberal cause. I be-
lieve if you approach the matter with
out prejudice you may still change your
mind"
My answer was the same as it was
Immediately after the primary election
when we organized a statewide Farmers
and Workers committee to campaign
for Harold E. Stassen, the liberal Re
publican from Dakota county. Those
who turn about now to support Benson
may possess greater knowledge of what
they term political policies" and we
may be just group of idealists as they
claim. But idealists or not, we have
no use for hypocrisy because we believe
in principles. The place of every sin
cere and honest supporter of Hjalmar
Petersen is beside Harold E. Stassen, a
true American liberal who is out to
win. Let us win with StaSsen!

III Drivers Lose Licenses
In June for Violations.

In June, 141 drivers licenses were re-
voked in Minnesota, according to the
monthly report of the drivers license
unit of the Minnesota Highway depart
ment.
For the same period, 81 license were
suspended. Thirty-one licenses were
returned to those whose suspension
period ended and who filed proof of
financial responsibility.
Twenty-nine of the revocations were
ordered in Hennepin county, Is in St.
Louis and II in Ramsey.
Intoxication accounted for 1856 of the
revocations. The age bracket from 81
to 80 accounted for 81 of the revocations
and on that basis apparently is the most
dangerous driving age. Only three
women drivers lost their licenses dur
ing the month in comparison to 1873
men.

RATHER A SAD STORY.

Jos. Stonich returned Tuesday morn
ing from Tower and told the story Of
father meeting his son whom he had
never seen and the son was 43 years old.
It seems that the father left Europe
six months after his marriage and
came to this country. He led a rather
nomadic life and for the past 80 years
has been resident of Tower and Ely.
The son, now a resident of Brooklyn,
N. Y, came to the ranges to meet the
father whom he had never seen in the
43 years of his life and who had entirely
forgotten his wife and son in the old
country.
The meeting was not very emotional,
according to those present and especi-
ally after the son found that his
father was not citizen of the country.
The son will return to his home in
Brooklyn minus the father who will
continue to live his alien existence here
on the old age assistance he is re-
ceiving from st. Louis county.

Seasons Last Concert
By the Band Friday.

Jacqueline Jackson and Patricia
Moonan played xylophone duets at
Fridays concert at Whiteside Park by
the Ely Municipal Band. The two
young ladies were featured guest artists
along with Arthur Buraglio, who played
accordion solos, accompanied by the
band.
These features were loudly applauded
and the performers were repeatedly
recalled and graciously responded. The
thousand or more in the audience were
more than pleased with the concert,
Friday, and regret that this is the last
concert of the summer season.
In addition to the featured per-
formers, the band under the direction
of Frank v. DiNino, presented a pro-

Virginia, our neighbor to the
south "on the iron ranges where
money flows like water as
they say in southern Mime
sofa, has turned down the re-
quest that it apply for S21S,255
PWA grant for a proposed field
house. This action on the part
of the city council has opened
a field of argument among the
citizens of the Queen City.
Some there are who want to
know why this was done and
consider it a direct slap against
labor while others think that
in projects of this kind, labor
does not get first base in the
game while material men and
contractors make the runs.
Glenwood, in Pope county, has
turned down a grant it could
have received for a municipal
heat and light plant and
Stevens county has just turned
down a grant for a new court
house. In commenting on the
matter, Editor Morrison of the
Morris Tribune says in part :
Too many communities recog-
nize the extravaganza of the
plan, but are bribed to go into
debt by the argument that they
help pay the federal taxes and
might as we'll get their share
while the free money is passed
around"

Girl Breaks TlUO
Wrists at PLAY,

Morton-Playing elevator" to the top
of the barn with hay sling proved
disastrous to ten-year-old Elizabeth
Huffman, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Huffman, who reside at Gay
lord. Elizabeth sustained fractures of
both her wrists in fall of about 20
feet while she and younger brother
were playing on the hay sling and hoist
ing each other to the peak of the barn
This play soon became such hard work
that the children drafted their pet
pony Bunny" to do the pulling. Bunny
must have pulled too hard when Eliz-
abeth went for her elevation, for the
strap holding the pulley broke and sent
her to the ground. A trip to the doc
tor proved that both wrists were broken.

The Jap government has
notified the world that it will
not be possible to hold the
Olympic Games of 1910 in
Tokyo as had been planned.
This decision comes at a time
when the sentiment of prac-
tically all the civilized world is
anti-Japanese and is a wise
move as much embarrassment
and friction between the ath-
letes of different nations will
be averted. The games will
probably be held in Helsing-
fors, Finland, which meets with
the approval of the Americans
in particular. Finland was the
second choice after the games
of 1886 when Tokyo was
selected. The little nation has
porduced more world champi-
ons in sport in proportion to it's
size, than any other nation.
