p e R T R . of votes. PAID ADVERTISEMENT—Prepared and published fn the interest of W. G. Calderwood for.the U. S. Senate by the Citizens Senatorial Com- | mittee, 254 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis. Calderwood a Winner : for U. S. Senate Fight Between Well-Known Progressive and v His “Old Guard” Reactionary Opponent Wilson Administation and All Forward-Looking . _ | Groups in Minnesota Support Galderwood OLD GUARD ATTEMPT T0 AGAIN GAIN CONTROL,DF SENATE, HE campalgn for United States Senate in Min- nesota presents an ideal situation. Two ca- pable, honest, loyal men, both well known throughout the state, both of whom have given the best years of their lives to public service, are the only candidates. There is no third candidate rep- resenting a party-tag or a fanatical extreme or a questionable compromise policy. Nor is there any side issue to befog and becloud the judgment of the voters. Both men are intensely loyal and patriotic. The wet and dry question is eliminated because both men are dry. This leaves both wet and dry voters “free to choose the man who will best represent them on the decisive issues. Nor does equal suffrage enter in the contest; for while Senator Nelson voted against suffrage in 1916, he Jjoined the suffrage ranks in 1918, But on questions involving conservation, labor, higher tariff, public ownership of railroads, initia- tive and referendum, and on similar issues, Sen- ator Nelson has been consistently and emphatically reactionary. X Mr. Calderwood takes exactly the opposite stand. His years of public advocacy of measures demanded in his platform are the abundant guar anty of his honest devotion to them. A comparison of Senator Nelson's record and Mr. Calderwood’s platform will give & basis upon which every voter may intelligently cast his vote: LABOR NELSON'S RECORD * CALDERWOOD’S PLATFORM Voted against the Adamson 8- - For maximum 8-hour day, with bour bill, Sept. 2, 1918, one day’s rest each week. Voted against Clayton bill, called For equal economic and industrial ;‘g‘a‘hor'n Magna Charta,” Sept. 2, opportunity, @ 14. Voted for child labor bill.(a pro- gressive and commendable vote). Voted against exempting Ilabor and farm organizations from “com- bination-in-restraint-of-trade” prose- cutions, May 7, 1913, and July 8, 1914, Opposed employers’ lability bill and tried to'amend the bill unfavor- ably to labor. Voted against confirmation of the eppointment of “Brandeis, labor’s ) friend, to Supreme Court. TRUSTS AND BIG BUSINESS Voted against anti-trust bill, Sep- tember 2, and Oet. 5, 1914, Voted against extension of parcel posi. Voted against Conimission, Voted against the government railroad in Alaska. Voted against limiting railroad dividends. ey ! CONSERVATION Voted for the Shields waterpower grab, which would give the hydro- “electric monopoly control of 50,000, 000 water horse power. Voted to sell coal deposits to monopolies at $10 per acra. ‘Helped whitewash Ballinger, in his attempt to give Morgan-Guggen- heim group millions of coal and timber. wealth. Voted against equitably high tax on war profits. W. G. Calderwood For prohibition of child labor in mines, workshops and factories. For laws promoting just division of wealth, which labor and capital jointly produce. For employers’ liability, insur- ance against sickness, death and unemployment. Extension’ of labor bureau sys- tem. For anti-trust legislation. For postalization of telephones and telegraphs. Federal Trade For public ownership of railroads. Conservation of natural resources for all the people. For public ownership of mines. For conservation for all the people, For laying the burdens of ‘taxa- tion in proportion to the ability of each to pay; against the exemption of special classes of private wealth; stocks, bonds and corporate excess to pay same rate as other produc- tive property. ECONOMY Has voted for pork barrel legis- Jation and supported the spoils and patronage system. For an.execuitve budget, with pm‘(l]i. spolls and patronage elimin- ated. AGRICULTURE Abolition of gambling in grain and farm produce. Agricultural development through loans to actual settlers; legislation making it unprofitable for specu- lators to hold “slacker land” out of cultivation, . T.ot it he understood that there fs no intention of any criticism of Senator Nelson.” He and his friends both beliove that these votes were the right kind He is honestly proud of his record and if he is returned to congress will vote the same v time the same questions come up and in every instance will be satisfied with and proud of his record on these issues. le we believe in Senator Nelson's honesty and patriotism, we believe that he is much mistaken. His votes were votes that were not in the interest of the highest public good, and they represented a reactionary instead of a progressive attitude. Th policies of reconstruction are to come before congress during the rext six yvears. This war will probably be ended in the next twelve months. Then comes the building of the new world from the wreckage of the old, and the man elected to the senate from the state of Minnesota this fall for a six- year term will have five years of that term to be devoted to reconstructive measures. Don't vote for a political label or from habit or prejudice. Muke your vote count for progressive reconstruction of the nation and the world.
