F. B. Kellogg and Congressman C. A. Lindbergh officially opened their campaigns for United States sena- tor, Thursday. Other candidates, A. 0. Eberhart, former governor, and Senator Moses E. Clapp are expected to open their campaigns in a short time. So that the readers of the Pioneer may know what the candidates stand for, we will print the platform of each candidate. The platform of Mr. brief, is as follows: Immediately prepare this country for defense. Protect American citizens upon the high seas and in foreign countries. Protect American property and Am- reican foreign commerce which amounts to over $5,300,000,000 per annum. Encourage the construction of a merchant marine in order to handle our foreign commerce and reduce ocean freight rates, which are now exorbitant and an unreasonable tax on our industries. In foreign relations, demand and enforce with firmness our rights against other nations and maintair a bold and just neutrality Protect, by reasonable tariff pro- gressions, the products of our farms, labor and other industries and the development of our natural resources. Maintain our control of the Phil- ippines until we shall have fulfilled our pledges and the islands are suit- ed for self-government. Protect and encourage agriculture, the great basis of American wealth. Maintain the integrity of represen- tative government and the purity and stability of the courts. Strive for higher standard of so- cial justice and maintain the inde- pendence and security of labor. Introduce economy, thrift -and efi- ciency in the departments of govern- ment. | Enforce the anti-trust laws, so as to keep open the avenues of enter- prise for the American people. Congressman Lindbergh’s platform is outlined as follows: The people must establish their right to rule: ‘War is the climax of existing con- ditions. Tremendous charges certainly will follow the present cataclysm. It is immensely important that the people should figure in the recon- struetion. Ameriea should figure in building a new world policy. If our commerce had been natural instead of built for speculation, the war would have had no appreciable evil influence on us. If our industrial and commercial conditions had been natural, there would have been no idle people and all would have been many times more prosperous than the work created by the war now makes them., We must not become so embroiled in the war that we cannot control our own affairs when it ends. ‘Whether or not we become a party to the war, we must reconstruct our social affairs. to make our, commerce, whether domestic or foreign, natural Kellogg, in and.not based :upon speculation. The United States has every re- source necessary to make a prosper- ous and happy people. ‘We should not become a part of a system that makes the world a fizzle for the rank and file of mankind. We no longer have a people’s gov- ernment. We no longer operate un- der a constitution. The constitution is invoked only as an instrument of obstruction when the people under- take to assert a right which is op- posed to special privilege. If we frame our domestic relations so as to make the people the bene- ficaries of great natural and indus- trial advantages, we shall have estab- lished ourselves in a state of prepar- edness to meet and whip the world in arms if necessary. AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amendment No. 1, providing that the legislature may establish a re- volving fund of a quarter million dol- lars out of the state school fund for constructing roads, ditches and fire- breaks through state lands and for the clearing of such lands, was de- feated in 1914 for lack of interest on the part of the public. No con- certed, organized effort was made for the passage of the amendment. The forestry amendment had such an ef- fort behind it and it was passed, the only one to be adopted out of the eleven amendments offered. Amendment No. 1 is so obviously beneficient and helpful that all it re- quires to have it adopted is that the voters know its merits. It means that two million acres of undeveloped | and unproductive lands, now held by the state, are to be opened, improved and settled on. Farm production, population and taxable property will be increased. Amendment No. 1 will aid the de- velopment and growth of Minnesota. . Every citizen of the state should get behind the movement to secure the adoption of this amendment. MEXICO. “A redisposition of the forces in Mexico,” as planned by Major Gen- eral Scott and the administration | means, according to reports from the border, a general withdrawal of the United States punitive expeditionary force. 1 The troops will be withdrawn irre- spective of whether Villa is or is not California Raisin Bread makes the daintiest of sandwiches for afternoon tea.

The apprehension of the bandit is hardly expected, while it is evident either that the Carranza officers. can- not control their forces and prevent them from attacking the Americans, or that Carranzistas, while/seeking to create that impression:are-perfectly willing their men should fire on the troops: of the TUnited States. In either event it is regarded as decid- edly unsafe to pursue the expedition further and the Americans are about to undertake what appears to be a gradual retreat. ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.
