SOLDIERS ARE THE BACKBONE
(St Cloud News)

Hjalmar Petersen took the bull by
the horns and proposed that the gov
ernor of the state call a special ses-
sion of the Legislature to enact law
which would give the men in military
service a right to vote. Governor
Stassen answered Petersen by ask
ing him to back our fighting forces
and quit squawking.
To say the least, Mr.. Petersen gave
the people of the state an opportunity
to know that the soldiers haven't the
right to exercise the privilege of
democracy while they are fighting
for democracy.
An army of two or more million
men are able to swing an election,
not only by their own vote, but, be-
cause these men can vote, they will
take more interest in the elections
and write their friends and relatives,
asking them to vote certain ways
Are certain politicians afraid of that
or are they really SO enthusiastic
about the whole war program that
they will go as far as doing nothing
to give our men in service the high
est privilege that is democracy's own
yes, the very root of democracy itself?
In time of war it's the soldiers, not
the politicians who are the backbone
of our nation. Let's do everything
possible to develop that backbone.
Askov American., 1942-03-26
NOT INTERESTED IN VOTE
ENJOYS CRACK"
(Albert Lea Patriot)

Hjalmar Petersen, who has aspira-
tions to become governor of Mime
sota-and even U. S. senator, got a
real and most deserving ''crack" from
Governor Stassen last week. Peter
sen, whose long suit is playing poll
tics, called on Governor Stassen and
wanted him to call a special session
of the Legislature to correct what he
termed great injustice" which de-
nies American soldiers in foreign
lands the right to vote. Undoubtedly
these soldiers are more concerned in
winning the war and getting back to
their homes and jobs than voting.
The governor replied to Petersen as
follows: 81 think the boys in the
armed services would appreciate it
more if you would spend more time
backing up the war effort and less
playing politics" That ought to hold
Hjalmar for long time-but will it?
