OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS —_—_—— SPLENDID RECORD OF SENATOR NORD. There are many things to the credit of Senator L. H. Nord of the Koochiching-Beltrami district of Minnesota, other than have been noted in these columns and which stamp him as a man eminently fitted for the office he occupies and to which he seeks re-election on November 5. : It was Senator Nord who led in the fight which put Amend- ment No. 1 into the constitution, it being in effect the appropria- tion by the legislature of $100,000 as a revolving fund to be used for clearing lands and securing settlers. It was Senator Nord who secured the passage of the dyna- mite law, permitting townships to purchase dynamite by the wholesale and selling it at cost to settlers on easy payments. Senator Nord was made chairman of a new committec created in the Senate to which all legislation was referred, hav- ing to do with immigration and development. This committee was of special value to Northern Minnesota during the last session and will be of greater importance in coming sessions of the state legislature. : That Senator Nord is the friend of the wage earner and workman is shown in his splendid work in securing the passage of the anti-injunction bill, in which organized labor was vitally interested. In fact, to Senator Nord was given the credit for the passage of the bill. f It is a well known fact that the senator introduced and | sponsored the criminal cyndicalism bill, known as the “Nord Bill” and the “I. W. W. Bill,” which clipped the wings of leaders of pro-Hun propaganda and sent them to the Leaven- worth penetentiary. So favorable was the measure considered, several other states sent for copies of the law and passed it without one change. In the law permitting the erection of a sixth Normal school for the state, Senator Nord worked hard for the enactment of the measure. Again when it came time for the location of the school, with several cities fighting hard to secure it, Senator Nord, who represents Beltrami in the state legislature, fought for Beltrami county and the school landed in Bemidji. Beltrami county owes much to Senator Nord. The biils he fathered and which won are of much benefit to this country as they are to other Northern Minnesota counties. He has demonstated beyond all question of a doubt that he is capable of representing his constituents, not only .a part but ALL of them, and his record is without 'a blemish. That is the kind of a man the district wants to represent it and Beltrami county should do its utmost to reward the friend of its people by retaining him as their representive in the state legislature. o REPUBLICANS HAVE SUPPORTED PRESIDENT. President Wilson in his attitude of “Politics is adjourned” took one of the hardest flings at the Republicans of the country that could possibly be taken when he urged the election of DEMOCRATS to congress, that his war policies would be up- held. He asked the people of the United States, of whom he is the chief executive, for ALL to send to congress only Demo- crats this fall. Just what he meant to infer about the Republi- cans is a matter for conjecture but the fact remains and is shown on the records that it has been the Republicans in con- gress that have supported Presiden Wilson in every particular while it has been his Democratic colleagues who have stoutly opposed his policies. The plea for endorsement makes one wonder whether the president believes the people have no minds of their own. He sent his vice president into Wisconsin“to insult the voters of that state by terming the progressive Republicans ‘‘sewage” and received a most stinging rebuke. He endorsed personally Lenroot’s opponent and urged his election, and that, after he had uttered his famous slogan “politics ig adjourned.” In other parts of the country there have been representatives of the ad- ministration sent to take issue with the nominess of the people of those states, all in the interest of biased partisan politics. The Minnesota Democratic state committee gave it out early that Secretary Lane of the Interior was to come here in in- terest of the administration to work for Democratic success, but it was later announced that Lane would not come, evidently the hunch from Wisconsin changing the idea. The president is asking the endorsement of mere Demo- crats, who might be candidates for the senate and house of representatives. In other words, any one who bears the stamp of Republicanism evidently is not considered loyal to the government, is not welcome in the halls of the national legis- lature. We believe the Republican legislators are as loyal to the government as any who bear the Democratic trademark, and we also believe they have been the staunchest supporters the president has had. In the fighting “over there” no one’s poli- tics nor creed is questioned and the millions of Americans who are bgcking the war and paying the burden of expense are not questioned as to whether they vote the Democratic ticket or not. They are all Americans, and 100 per cent Americans, and any of the Republican faith are not to be discredited. They are Americans. They are for America and for its whole being, and the flag which has protected it since the colonists fought so nobly in the Revolution for what she is today.
