The third advertisement published in the interests of the national volun­teer preparedness movement appears on Page nine. It emphasizes the im­portance of the Industries of the coun­try in the time of war, if such a time should come. It is quite as important that people be willing to do manual labor in obscure parts of the country as on the first line of defense. The gospel of work can never be over-em­phasized. It is the foundation of hu­man happiness, as well as prosperity. Only that child who has been taught to work is truly prepared to face life's battles.

A contest in this district which is sure to attract a great deal of atten­tion thruout the state, owing to the fact that both men are so well known, is the one between G. B Bjornson, ed­itor of the Mmneota Mascot, and Tom Davis, the well known attorney of Marshall The former has been a member of the state legislature for a number of years, and is chairman of the republican state central commit­tee Mr Davis has a large following thruout Lyon county and will undoubt­edly make a great run for the posi­tion.

The concensus of opinion among the editors of the Twelfth Judicial Dis­trict is that Judge Qvale will be le-elected, without a doubt. He is op­posed by A R Hunt of Litchfield The short term, to fill vacancy caused by the death of Judge Powers, will be contested for by C A. Fosnes of Mon­tevideo, and the present incumbent, R T. Daly of Renville. The latter was appointed to fill the position1 un­til the election, by the late Gov. Ham­mond.

WILLMAR, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1916

KELLOGG FELL FLAT.

The great Kellogg was at Willmar last Friday night and made a nice lit­tle speech, but it fell absolutely flat upon the voters who had gathered to hear him. If there is any Kellogg sentiment in this part of the state it did not manifest itself at this meet­ing. There were a few sporadic at­tempts to start applause, but they re­ceived no response from the crowd The city dailies reported that Kellogg was received with "much enthusiasm and cheers" at Willmar, but if all their reports of Kellogg meetings are as void of the truth as this statement, these papers are engaged in the big­gest attempt to buncombe the people that they have been charged with for some time Every attempt possible was made to drum up a large crowd Every newspaper within fifty miles on tributary lines of road had pub­lished a paid advertisement of this meeting, and posters and caids galore were distributed The band gave a concert down town and then marched to the court house, playing several selections outside. The result was that the court room was \v ell filled, but still there were a number of seats which were not filled.

The editor attended, expecting to hear a masterly presentation of the reasons why we should be prepared for war. He was disappointed The speaker succeeded in picturing the un-preparedness of our present army and navy. Just why it should be consid­ered patriotic to belittle the military resources of one's own country we do not understand. It is evident that if these criticisms) are true, the people who have spent the billions appropri­ated for defense during the last twen ty years have been woefully false to the trust imposed upon them. After our unpreparedness had been shown, by the speaker, we expected to hear the remedy If Mr Kellogg knows what should be done he did not state it In place of advocating a big mill tary program he hedged by suggesting "an army of from 250,000 to 400,000 men," and an appropriation that "would never be noticed," by the tax payers If conditions are as Mr. Kel­logg pictured them, that our present force of 70,000 men are only a drop in the bucket of what is needed, that we are in danger of European invas ion, on the verge of war with Mexico, and are facing a fight with Japan over racial hatreds, an army of 250,000 would only be two or three drops in the bucket and taxes so small that they would not be felt would be far from adequate to meet the expenses Kellogg lacked the courage of his con­victions. He evidently saw that the crowd was against him and hedged. His speech as delivered was inconsist­ent. It was in no sense the masterful effort we had been led to believe was due to arrive. Or can it be that the cause he represents is so weak that his speech was the best possible pre-

V •entatiou that could be made of it?

Irve Townsend, editor of the Don nelly Star, in entering the race for the Democratic nomination for con­gress, says he cherishes no illusions, realizing the Seventh to be a repub lican district He says, however, "the president has worked the miracle of keeping this nation at peace with the world, with honor unstained, and this with nearly half of congress try­ing to block him, including the pres­ent congressman from this district * * * yet strange to say, no one of his own party opposed Mr. Vol­stead for the republican nomination, and it looked as tho he were to re­turn to congress with the endorse ment of the entire Seventh District" Brother Townsend evidently under­estimates the importance of the filing for Congress of Senator E. E Lobeck, of Alexandria A man who could car ry two of the strongest republican counties of the District for the state senate over a strong republican war-horse, should not be ignored.

How little interest the people take in the approaching presidential con­test is well shown by the lack of in terest in the American Press Associa­tion's nationwide straw vote taken in this county. We published the blank coupons two weeks in the Tribune, which goes to practically all tAe homes in the county. We made no at tempt outside of that to stimulate in­terest, and our office force refrained from voting The result is the return by mail up to Tuesday noon of six (6) coupons, voted as follows: Wilson 3 Roosevelt (second choice, Wilson) 1 Gov. Whitman, of New York, be­

cause against papal rule 1 Allan L. Bruson, for the co-oper­

ative commonwealth 1

Kellogg in his Willmar speech at­tempted to work the farmers by stat mg that the reason ocean rates on grain have risen to 40 cents a bushel is because the country refused to vote a subsidy to ship-owners If our far­mers present did not snicker, it was because they are too well-behaved Before he closed he admitted the mer­chant marine situation has improved of late. He did not state that the rea­son for this is that, owing to the war, the present administration has abol­ished the old senseless rules so that an American who owns a ship can now fly the American flag over the same if he wants to, even if the ship was not built at the New England ship­yards.

O A Hedin of Minneapolis, a broth­er of Andrew G. Hedin of this city, and former Register of Deeds of Kan­diyohi county, has filed for the office of Railroad and Warehouse commis­sioner. There is much dissatisfaction with Judge Mills, the present incum­bent of the office who seeks re-elec­tion, and Mr. Hedin wilt profit by that disaffection. Axel is one of the best campaigners in the state.

j ^ i

Ultra-partisan Republican editors are sneering at the accomplishments of the Democratic administration. No doubt there is much room for crit­icism, but we will wager our last year's hat that when the record of achievements is reviewed, it will com­pare favorably with, if not surpass, that of any administration since the civil war. Wait, boys, until your con­vention has been held and you know where you are at.

G. A. Erickson, the well-known ald­erman of Fourth Ward, again filed as a candidate for the House against P H Frye Saying nothing to anyone, he quietly filed on the last day. Mr Erickson is very persistent. In 1912 he received only 351 votes against 818 for Frye and 797 for Rachie. Two years ago he received 1,433 votes against 1,849 for Mr. Frye.

Says the Breckenridge Telegram: "The way Breckenridge has responded to the closing of the saloons is almost unbelievable, and even the dry advo cates are surprised. Here it is just four months since the blow fell, and the city is enjoying the greatest pros perity in its entire history."

What recommends Hughes as a can­didate to many politicians is the fact that during the past seven or eight years since he was appointed to the supreme bench he has made no public utterances on the new questions at is­sue and therefore will not be handi­capped as other candidates might be

Cyrus M King, of Deer River, who filed against Senator Works, for the Democratic nomination for governor received a handsome vote for delegate to St Louis and is recognized as one of the progressive and able men of the party in the state.

It is surprising how unanimous the sentiment is becoming in favor of Gov. Burnqaist. Mr. Iverson no doubt has supporters, especially among the old line politicians, but what they are do­ing, if anything, is on the gum-shoe order.

Lyndon A Smith, the efficient at­torney general of this state is to have no opposition for re-election. Mr. Smith discharges his duties without fear or favor, and deserves the honor bestowed upon him.

Ninety per cent of the advertising done by the Goodrich tire company is thru the columns of the newspap­ers, and it is significant that this company is the largest of its kind in the world.

Kellogg pleaded for the return of Republicans to power to restore the protective tariff, but later said the adjustment of the tariff should be re ferred to a non-partisan (sic) board

Henry Rines will be our next state treasurer He will be nominated at the June primary and will have no op­position at the fall election Was there ever a more ducky "dalnms"?

A. F. Teigen has filed for the legis­lature again. He will be opposed by J R Burnip, a real estate dealer of Montevideo This contest will carry over until the fall election.

Julius Thorson of Benson has filed as the democratic candidate for lieu tenant governor. He is opposed by S C Sorenson, a manufacturer of Min­neapolis.

True to his kind, Kellogg sneered at Bryan's peace proclivities. It remind­ed us of a little poodle dog barking at a mastiff.

If Congressman Lindbergh comes to Willmar the court house can be filled without a band.

The primary election is only three week distant from next Monday.

Significance of Ford Vote. There is no way of avoiding the

significance of the Ford vote. It was an expression in favor of peace and a protest against war. Mr. Ford does not stand for any political issue; he is not identified with any economic reform. He stands for the ending of war in Europe and against a prepar­edness which would commit this coun­try to the false, philosophy of Europe. A vote for Ford, therefore, can not be misunderstood, and it has already had a powerful effect upon both repub­licans and democrats. Mr. Ford or­ganized his expedition to Europe in the hope of hastening peace there, without the thought of affecting the policy of this country on the subject of increased armaments. But the un­expected has happened. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform."—W. J. BRYAN.
