Newspapers, small and,metroplitian, throughout the na- tion are vociferous in their dénunciation of the latest utterance of President“Wilsong urging the election of only democrats to the national senate and house. -The press is taking the view that the urging of the president is a direct insult to the republi- cans of the country, and it has been suggested that the presi- dent take a census of the American fighting forces in France and withdraw the soldiérs not democrats, republicans and others being classed as not loyal to their country. The appeal to send only democrats to the senate and house is asked as a personal favor, it being claimed that the republi- cans are not to be trusted in upholding the.government in winning the war. ' It is the most childish and partisan utterance ever made by a president of the Urfited States and the press of the country is not slow in so stating. If anything was ever uttered by the nation’s chief in the interest of partisan politics it was the appeal to the people of the nation to send only repre- séntatives to congress bearing the democratic stamp, ignoring their character and abilities. The label is the thing, seemingly, to imply all that is holy and righteous, and the collar.bearing the stamp of “Democrat” is held up to be the badge of honor and capabalities. The president seems to think if any republicans were elect- ed it would give comfort to Germany and indicate a lack of confidence in the administration, but he is the only one who enterfains any such nonsensical belief. The whole thing is amazing partisan politics on the part of a president of the United States and sets another precedent in a frenzied attempt to bolster up another term in 1920. ! 0 DAVIS IS POLITICAL ‘ACROBAT. Tom Davis, who is seeking the office of attorney general for Minnesota to succeed that sterling incumbent, Clifford L. Hilton, is certainly “getting his” from the loyal press of the state and in this connection the Duluth News-Tribune says: Tom Davis of Lyon is opposing Hilton, having been nominated by petition. He is a candidate of the Non- , partisan league. Fred E. Tilllquist, after having been beaten for the republican “nomination for railroad commissioner in June, now comes before the people for the office as a Nonpartisan league candidate, nom- inated by petition. Verily, the right of petition is not abridged in Minnesota. Attorney General Hilton has been in the state’s law department for nine years. Of his qualifications there is no question. He is being opposed because his op- ponent wants the office, and because the Nonpartisan i league is’eager to have what is in many ways the most powerful place in Minnesota’s scheme of government. 0 TIME FOR A CHANGE. . . (Baudette Region.) The Region believes that the time has come for the voters of Beltrami county to put Messrs. Moon, Geil and Ackerberg out in the corridor. These men belong to the socialist party, which is helping to win the war about as much as the Spanish influenza is. We have nothing to say against the personal loy- alty of any of the three, but if they expect to hold the con- fidence of the voters of a loyal county like Beltami they should board the loyalty raft and get away from the socialist ship. They get the solid socialist vote from the Grygla district, and we haven’t seen a single statement from any of them renounc- ing the party. Their opponents, Messrs. Rhea, Tagley and McKee are men of splendid ability and are capable of handling the 1register of deeds, treasurer and coroner positions respec- tively. . ° - o Vote for Lethhert for clerk of the supreme court. - He is a strong democrat and so nominated. He is a lawyer of rare talent and is a man every inch. Yes, he is a democrat, but doesn’t play both ends against the middle like his opponent who was nominated as a republican when his record shows he is a democrat and enidorsed by the Townly league heads. o No, he doesn’t bear the stamp of ‘“democrat,” but Congress- man Harold Knutson will be elected if loyalty and ardent sup- port of the administration of President Wilsonis a factor in merit. It is Congressman Knutson’s loyalty that entitles him to re-election and he will be elected. . 0 The loyal voters of the Sixth Minnesota congressional dis- trict will return Congressman Knutson. He does not pose as the greatest patriot in the district, neither does he stoop to hid- den practices to pick off a few measly dollars, while wearing a mantle of self arrogated patriotism. R T . Ed. Rako is the candidate for the lower house of the Min- nesota legislature from Beltrami county and he is making a hard campaign to be elected next November 5. His candidacy is meeting strong favor and his friends are confident he will be elected by a handsome plurality. —— According to the Baudette Region, there are some county officials who don’t seem to,find much favor thereabouts. In fact, no mistake about it, judging from a glance through the Region’s 'sprightly editorial column. ) | POLITICAL ADVERTISING. (Inserted by H. N. McKee in his own behalf.

McKEE for CORONER The office of Coroner is an im- portant one. .One of the first things to be considered in the election of a coroner is that he should be ex- perienced and efficient in every line of ‘the work, and also that conditions should be such that he can be locatad |- at any time. . * H. N. McKee, who was nominated at the primary election for the office of (.‘orm}er. seeks election entirely no his merits. ,He has been a licensed undertaker for six years, and has had experience in that line of work for about 15 years. He is a property owner and taxpayer in the city of Bemidji, and also owns property throughout the county. If elected he assures the citizens of the county that the office of the county coroner will be properly taken care of.
