every campaign and centering this
year largely around the belief that
both the Italian and Irish vote has
been antagonized by this Govern
ment's pro-British war attitude, Mr..
Roosevelt accused designing politi-
clans" of fomenting this form of
n-Americanism.
1t was from this "springboard'
that he then counter-a attacked Re-
publican leaders for direct, vicious
appeal to class hatred, to class con-
tempt citing a G. o. P. orator as
quoted in the New York Times for
an alleged assertion that the only
Roosevelt supporters "are paupers,
those who earn less than $1,000 a
year and aren't worth that, and the
Roosevelt family
Forget the Roosevelt family" the
President conceded. but these
Americans whom this man calls
'paupers,' these Americans who, in
his view, are not worth the income
they receive, small though it is
who are they? They are only mil
lions and millions of American FAM
lilies. constituting a very large part
Of the Nation! They are only the
common men and women who have
helped build this country, who have
made it great. and who would de-
fend it with their lives if the need
arose."
Wildly this crowd applauded then
as Mr.. Roosevelt concluded his ad-
dress with a recapitulation of the
objectives for which he is fighting
and for which II shall not stop fight
ing'-to keep America free, to fore
stall a revival of government by
special privilege, to protect the little
man as well as the big and the weak
as well as the strong, and to keep
the Nation out of foreign wars and
the foreign conceptions out of our
Government.
Dempsey Back on Platform.
James A. Farley, former Post

close to the President and beside

were Jack Dempsey, Max Baer and
Jim Braddock, former heavyweight
ring champions.
Mr.. Roosevelt came into the hall
on the arm of his son, Franklin, jr.,
after receiving a good reception dur
ing the drive from Pennsylvania
Station to Brooklyn. On the return
run, over a different route, which
included a section of Park avenue,
there were several choruses of boos
and cries of I'VE Want Willkie."

also at Buffalo and Erie, and finally
tonight at Cleveland. Other train
platform appearances are tentatively
scheduled, and in Buffalo he will

Drive Issued In 1899

The drivers license bureau of the

S2,553 new drivers licenses and 201,-
813 duplicates during 1889, according
to the annual report of w. F. Rosen-

were required by law to obtain new

Rural Credit Report
Shows Farm Sales

The progress being made in getting
the state rural credit farms back into
the hands of farmer owners and on
the tax rolls again is shown in a de-
tailed report just compiled by the
Minnesota rural credit department
listing sales during the past year in
this county and in the other counties
where state farms are held.
George c. Jones, conservator of the
rural credit department, reports that
the department sold "a farms in Pine
county during the year. 1t disposed
of 2,243 acres of land in this county
for total of $31, $50 making an aver
age price of $14.06 an acre. The de-
partment owned 1873 farms in this
county at the beginning of 1899, and
now holds, including those acquired
during 1889, total of 149 farms
available for sale this year.
Jones reports there has been a
good demand for farm lands in all
sections of the state Starting out to
sell TIT farms in 1889, the department
was able to dispose of 1,O25 farms.
The farms brought $3,133,416, and
fully half of this amount was paid in
cash at the time of purchase. The
farms were sold at current values
after careful appraisal, but the state
could not, of course, get enough to
cover the states investment. While
selling 1,025 farms, the state also
acquired SIT other farms during the
year through foreclosures.

When Albert Waletzko reached the

riage to Miss Magdaline Kasper, &
young lady whose parents lived ir
the Sturgeon Lake community. They
homesteaded piece of land located
six miles east of Willow River where
they have since made their home.
During the summer in early year.
they picked blueberries which were
always very plentiful. They would
sell these to the market to be shipped
to Duluth and other points. There
were other berries and fruits in the
woods but none of market value, but
were used for home consumption
AS that was about the time the Fox
Window Lumber Co. was getting or

for the officers and men of the lum-
Der company the Waletzko boys
were pussy cutting hre wood for Win
ter use for the newcomers. On some
of these trips into the dense forests
they would see deer, occasionally q
bear and on one occasion they en-
cOuntered lame wolf which they
first thought they would have tc

International
News Review
By GEORG sTRANDvOLD

There can be but little doubt thai
the most sensational event of the
European wars during the last few
days was speech; it was delivered
by Winston Churchill, First Lord oil
the British admiralty, and the inten-
ton was to persuade the small neu-
trail nations of Europe to join Great
Britain and France in their war
against Germany. He itemized them
Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Den
mark, Norway, Sweden and the Bal
kan states.
Mr.. Churchill pointed out that the
small nations were the particular OBJ
jects of German hatred, and that
they would be divided between the
barbarians of NaziSm and those OF
Bolshevism in case Germany won the
war. 1t was perfectly useless, he
said, for the neutrals, to depend on
British-French victory as benefit
to them unless they pitched in, too

ish government wasn't worried about

Germany reacted Immediately, for
from Berlin came the official COM

her old scheme of trying to involve
other nations in her own war; Italy
spoke in the same vein
Official Scandinavian comment was
withheld, but it was intimated that
the Churchill speech had not met
with very favorable response in
Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm
nothing much was said, but what was
unsaid seemed sufficiently eloquent
