1910 Congress
Race in Fore
AS FL's Meet
SEVERAL POSSIBLE
CANDIDATES WILL
TALK AT BELVIEW

Men with ambitions to repre-
sent the seventh congressional
district at Washington after the
i940 elections may be in the ma
Jority when Farmer Laborites at
tend a district convention at the
Cdeon in Belview November II.
1t appeared this week as the list
OF prospects for the race contin-
ued to grow.
Defeat of Paul Kvale, after five
terms, by H. Carl Andersen, Tyl-
er Republican, last fall threw the
contest wide open. Since the dis
trlct contains many counties that
have been solidly Farmer-Labor-
lite (Kvale carried eight, Ander-
sen ten of the districts 10 coun-
ties), it is looked upon as a good
place for a party comeback.
Paul A. Rasmussen, state bud
get commissioner and personnel
director under Floyd B. Olson and
Elmer A. Benson, heads the
speaking program as secretary of
the Farmer-Labor Cooperative
council.
But there are others whose
words will be listened to with
equal interest, partly because
they have been mentioned as
possible congressman, or at least
candidates.
Harold L. Peterson, state secre-
tary CT the Farmer-Labor assoc
citation and Kandiyohi county re-
preventative in the legislature, is
one of these. Another is Edward
Hagen, Chippewa county repre-
sentative and former chairman of
the house tax committee.
Not listed as speakers but like
sly to be present are Harry L..
Wahlstrand, Willmar schoolman;
Theodor S. Slen, Madison and
Rev M. o. Andrews of Benson
whom it was reported this week
would like to occupy the seat
once held by Rev. o. j. Kvale,
PauPs father.
Not unlikely to show up wear
ing his running shoes is Francis
H. Shoemaker of North Redwood
who opposed Kvale for the nom
inatiCn last year.

POSTED; ENGLISH,
JEWS ARE BLAMED

Decentralization Hitler, safe
behind the walls of his new chan
celery in Berlin, today viewed
photographs of the first officially
disclosed serious attempt to kill
him since he assumed power in
1893.
Meanwhile the Reich's tremen-
dous police power combed the
nation for perpetrators of last
nights explosion in the Munich
Buergerbrau cellar which would
have buried the Fuehrer under
nine feet of debris had he not left
the "beer hall. putsch anniversary
observance earlier than custom
airy.
The blast came a few minutes
after Hitler had left to entrain
for Berlin and killed seven of his
veteran followers and wounded 50
others, 20 of them seriously.
The British secret service and,
Jews were openly chargd with an
on the Fuehrer's life but
officials said so far there was no
trace of persons directly respon-
sible for what "must have been
long and carefully planned at
tempt"
The original reward of 100000
marks ($2O0,000) for information
leading to seizure of the guilty
was increased today to 100000
marks ($24O,000) by an anony-
nous additional offer of 100000
marks.
None of the high officials who
accompanied Hitler were reported
among the killed or injured.

Holland, On Rations, Mobilizes in
Fear of Involvement in World War

The attitude of Holland on the
European war is reflected in
letter to Mike c. de CRAFT from
friend in the Redwood Falls re-
sident's former home at APPEL
Doom. The city, incidentally, is
the present home of exiled Kaiser
Wilhelm, most prominent figure
in World War /.
Some rather unusual figures of
speech appear in the letter which,
in the most part is couched in
excellent English.
"The carnal war has begun
wrote Mr.. de CRAFTS friend Il
don't think you will have much
influence in your country of this
but we who are much nearer to
the front, we see every day more
and more.
"We have almost one-half mil
lion men modified. This is about
five per cent of our total popula-
ton and it costs lot of money
every day. Poor taxpayers!

one pound) in two weeks.

team at dinner, an annual af-
fair.
In December they will have
charge of distribution of toys
made by girls at the NYA school

matter of a Halloween party for
city youngsters. The club voted
SIS recently to help finance
party to be sponsored by the Odd
Fellows but plans were abandon
ed for this year because there was
insufficient time to get materials
and make plans.
