THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE. With a population of 20,000,000, one-fifth of the country’s people; with a wealth of $250,000,000,000, one- seventh of the total: with a mem- bership in the hou: of representa- tives of only ninety-seven out of a total of 435 the South, under the present Democratic administration is gzoverning the remainder of the coun- try Southern men are chairmen of sev- enteen out of eighteen great house committes. These committees, in- cluding ways and means, which ar- ranges the tariff, are dominated by Southerners. Revennes of the eight Southern states that control these seventeen committees amount to $53,000,000 a vear. The annual revenue of the! state of New York alone is more than $101,000,000. The South governs, appropriates and spends the people’s money. President Wilson is Southern by birth and sympathies. Five members | of his cabinet, Secretary Daniels, Secretary MeAdoo, Secretary Hous- ton, Postmaster General Burleson and Attorney General Gregory are South- erners. The Democratic party is a sectional party. It is Soutbern. This party, representing a small section, is gov- erning the whole United States. Do vou wish this condition to con- tinue? If you desire to see all sections of the country have an equal voice in legislation and government of the| United States you will vote the Re- publican ticket next Tuesday | HUGHES THE MAN. “We have heard in recent days that the alternative of the policy of the present administration is war. I think | the alternative of the policy of the present administration is peace with honor.” In this pregnant sentence Charles E. Hughes replied to President Wil-| son’s odd suggestion that unless the| Democratic party were returned to power the country would be plunged into war. Mr. Hughes made his re- ply at the Union League club meet- ing in New York, and was wildly | applanded by a distinguished andi- ence, including Theodore Roosevelt and Willlam H. Taft. “Eleet me again, or the country will go to the dogs™ Is the Wilson argument “Nobody knows how to keep the country at peace except my- self.” To such a plea is Mr. Wilson re-| duced by the smashing attack of his opponent! “Anything to keep us out of war,” is the Wilson ery. “Peace with honor!" is the retort of stalwart Americanism, voiced by Charles E. Hughes. “Peace by weakness does not gsound well to American ears. “Peace by strength' is better, America was not compelled to buy Its moral strength was suf- How’s This? We offer One Flundred Doilars Reward for any ‘atarrii that cannot be Catarth Medlelne, Medlieine has been taken ficlent to obtain respect for its rights, it that strength had been bravely ex- erted by a stalwart Amerlcan presi- dent, Americans are tired of the argu- ment that they can maintain peace only by ylelding something as vital as peace; some right or dignity that belongs to the Union. Why not have both peace and honor? Why not maintain American rights as well as American peace? A statesman like Hughes can do this, son has failed to do it, Charles B, Woodrow Wil- REPUBLICAN CONGRESS. 1t is of suprems importance for the industrial, farming, manufacturing and labor interests and for business generally that a Republican con- gressman be elected from this dis- trict next Tuesday. A vote for the Republican con- gressional nominee and for Charles E. Hughes for president means the return to power of the Republican party next March. Return of the Republican party to control of the government and con- gress will mean a protective policy for American labor, industries and farm products, which labor and in- dustry and our farmers do not now enjoy under the Underwood near-free tarift law. This law took the protection off northern products and left it on southern products. The legislation was in the interest of the South, a small section of our country. This section is now in control of congress and the Federal government. Under the first ten months of the Underwood tariff law nearly four million workers were out of employ- ment and bankruptcles were fre- quent. The European war began and PAID ADVERTISEMENT (Amount for series $3.00) HAROLD KNUTSON Republican Candidate for Congress Has been endorsed by co-operative creamery associations, labor and busi- ness men.

P a feverish proaperity, resulting prin- oipally from the sale of munitions of war and supplies to the European bel- ligerents ocourred, It it had not been for the war the same condition which existed for ten months under the Underwood tarift law, prior to the beginning of the conflict, would exist today, The European war i8 certain to end unless the Republican party is in power, with establishment of a protective tariff policy for American labor, industries and farm products, millions of workers will again be out of employment, factories will close, the farmers will experience low prices and we will have the worst financial, industrial and agricultural conditions in our history. The European armies will return to farming and manufacturing when the war ends and they will be able to produce manufactured articles and farm products much cheaper than can be done in the United States. It these products of cheap Euro- pean labor are allowed to come into the United States under the Under- wood low tariff law, many of them free of duty, American labor under its higher wage scale, American far- mers under their better standards of living, and American manufacturers will not be able to resist this foreign invasion. The Wilson administration is a dis- mal failure. It is a fallure in its —_— economic policy under the Under- wood low tariff law, The treasury is bankrupt. It is a faflure in its foreign policies, particularly in Mex- ico, where more than five hundred Americans have been murdered, scores of American women outraged, and hundreds of milllons of dollars of American property stolen or de- stroyed without redress, If the citizens of this district want these conditions changed, and de- sire a strong able government {n Washington, with a Republican house and senate pledged to the protection of American labor, industries, farm products and business, they will vote the Republican ticket next Tuesday. Harold Knutson is the Republican candidate for congress in this dis- trict, He was raised on a dairy farm in Sherburn county; later published the Royalton Banner and the Foley Inde- pendent; was president of Northern Minnesota Editorial association; was secretary to finance committee of Northern Minnesota Development as- soclation and for three winters ac- companied the Minnesota exhibit car through central states advertising Minnesota's resources. He has always been a booster for Northern Minnesota. When you go to the polls next Tuesday, Mr. Voter, be sure and vote for HAROLD KnutsOn. @MAR OM OnARO Al Ar Smoke Omar once then you'll get Omar’s aroma. Write Omar twice, and what do you get?
