(Batablished 1878) <> LINDBERGH’S DEFEAT The Minnesota press is a unit in approving the defeat of C. A. Lindbergh. “Scattered re- turns indicate that Mr. Burnquist has proved Minnesota’s loyalty, to his own satisfaction at least—by a narrow squeak,” says the St. Paul News, which has been pro-league. The News sees “great comfort” to the “poli- ticians and editorial writers who-have frothed. at the mouth over the bare thought of what the wild wires might be carrying to the uttermost parts of the earth * * * to see Minnesota’s loy- alty demonstrated by a few thousand votes. * * * It was well that Mr. Lindbergh was de- feated. His defeat, however, is cold comfort for Mr. Burnquist. It was well that Mr. Lindbergh was repudiated. It is well, also, that. Mr. Burn- quist achieves his nomination by a vote that is infact a repudiation. * * * Now we can pro- ceed to the real business with which Minnesota, politically speaking, is chiefly concerned, the elec- tion of a real governor. * * * This man is Judge Comstock.” The News is a paper with democratic lean- ings which denounced Lindbergh just prior to the primaries. It always has been antagonistic to Burnquist, and has espoused Judge Comstock’s candidacy from the beginning. pigs “There never was, there never should have been, a doubt ‘as to the outcome,” says the St. Paul Dispatch. “To doubt was to reflect upon the large patriotism and intelligence of a people who haye upon.every occasion given abundant evi- dence.of their national and civic loyalty. Spasms of ee may have shaken scattered and mis- tions, but the people in the large never * * * The nomination of Burn- quist as the republican and Comstock:as the demo- cratic candidate eliminates the issue of copper- headism. The people have set their heel upon the head of the serpent. . In the final contest no disturbing question of. loyalty will district and embitter the citizenship of Minnesota. With un- doubted loyalty confirmed, the voters may make up their final ballots with personal qualifications and state issues as the determining factor. It will be an all-American contest throughout.” Says the Duluth Herald (democratic) : ‘‘Min- nesota votes as she shoots. The forces of sedi- tion and dissension got cold comfort out of today’s election returns. Governor Burnquist ina contest where loyalty was virtually the only issue, de- spite strong efforts, supported by a large slush fund, to make it something else, has won out by an overwhelming majority over C. A. Lindbergh, author of ‘Why Your Country Is at War.’ More-|. over,.the loyal governor of Minnesota was strong- ly indorsed in all parts of the state. Apparently, he has carried every congressional district, includ- ing those in which the strength of Townleyism had been represented as overwhelming. The result is a tribute to Governor Burnquist’s loyalty and a heart-warming evidence of the state’s fidelity to the nation’s cause.” ; ‘ The Minneapolis Journal finds that “the one great outstanding fact shown by yesterday’s pri- mary voting is that the vast majority of the peo- ple.of. Minnesota and of Minneapolis are true blue loyalists. Wherever the challenge was made, the answer has come back clear and unmistakable. . It is heard not alone in the renomination of Governor Burnquist, loyalist, over Mr. Lindbergh, author of a disloyal book and nominee of the disloyal Nonpartisan league junta. It is heard also in the three-to-one vote given Senator Knute. Nelson over James A. Peterson, convicted. of pro-Ger- manism. It is heard in the nomination of loyal- ists. straight through the state ticket—except possibly in two instances where the loyalist vote was split between two candidates. “The response of the people to the Nonpart- isan League: plot to seize control of the State Government, has been decisive. Despite the per- sistent campaign of misrepresentation among the farmers, despite the open alliance with the so- cialists of the cities, despite the heavy expendi- -ture of money collectéd from misled farmers, Mr. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE that it will now be disowned in North Dakota, the state of its birth and early success.” The: Fargo Courier-News, ‘North Dakota league organ, while loath to adntit ‘the defeat of Lindbergh, sees in its probability “‘a challenge to North Dakota.” \ : t “Whatever the, final result of the. count in the primary elections in Minnesota proves to be, one thing is certain, and that is that the work- ers of Minnesota have made a trenrendous pro- test against Kaiserism in America. ' With only half of the precincts reporting, the vote for Charles A. Lindbergh already has more than twice the membership of the Nonpartisan league in the state, and the heaviest league districts were yet to be heard from. It is still possible for a\can- didate backed by all the influences that tend to the corruption of American. politics.:and American government to mislead and to deceive a large num- ber of: honest and patriotic citizens. * * ‘* There is no question that democracy and Amer- icanism will win in North Dakota and win by a huge vote. * * * The result in Minnesota, if it should prove in the final reports to be a de- feat for Americanism and progress, would be but a challenge to the courageous ‘citizens of North Dakota to continue a good fight.” AMERICA REINCARNATE If the United States is compelled to invest a hundred billion dollars in winning the war future results will justify the act. Germany has us slated for a much heavier contribution by way of indemnities, in case of a victory over the allies, but even bringing the con- flict to our doors or shores, via the Unterseebooten does not cause the average, normal citizen any loss of sleep. ‘He is not dodging the German tax collector yet, even in his dreams. An army of 5,000,000 men, with the non- combatant forces attendant, an increased navy and a restored mercantile marine will put 7,000,- 000 of our best blood. brawn and brain—IN TRAINING. Each year the coming 21ers will ap- proximate a million, who are to be. taught how to become men, first, and soldiers if necessary. . The Boy Scout army will soon go over the million mark. The “work or fight” propaganda will make habitual workers of habitual .shirkers. ‘ National ‘efficiency, capacity and: energy will be more than doubled. - } et If the war shall last*two: more ‘years, or the reconstruction period keep our'forces actively em- ployed:'for that period we shallihave recovered from the laxness’ bred : by two} generations.’ of a too prosperous people. ) 3 ‘ “* Some millions of those who ‘are to father the coming generation will have first'hand knowledge of many peoples. -Prejudices born of a-thousand fool notions concérning the real character of the French, British, Italian and a dozen other ‘nation- alities, with whose sons. they will’ fight shoulder to shoulder, will: co-operate.” The’ viéwpoint ‘in life will be altered for every man‘ who wears the khaki. He will become disillusioried asto German kultur and earn that conquest, worl domination for selfish ends is all that actuates the*brutal rul- ers of the Teuton legions.’ They alone are fight- ing for self, while the allies are fighting for right and equal justice—a world democracy. A soldier cannot remain self-centered ; he be- comes considerate for others in spite of himself; on the battle line he sees men as good as him- self—or better. The army is a regular suicide club for conceit and egotism. The man who comes back safe and unscathed will never cease'to wonder at. the miracle, when he remembers the carnage and slaughter from which he emerged. His life will mean infinitely more to him. 4 The developing force of the sort of training our men and officers are undergoing cannot now be estimated. Life for these millions of evolved men will necessarily be more serious, their activi- ties more.intensive. The earning and saving capacity of the nation will be doubled, if not quadrupled. It took France less than a decade to recoup the losses of material wealth after the war of 1870-1 and a matter of two decades should see America more powerful, wealthy and progressive on right lines than was possible had we not entered the war. This ‘will indeed be the UNITED States of America and not an aggregation of states in com- petition with each other, squabbling over the pork barrel of legislation. : . We shall emerge from this-sea of horror and strife a cleaner; stronger, more worthy people and those glorious martyrs ; who gave their lives for the cause. of humanity will not Rave made the supreme sacrifice in vain. oe ) A world reorganized on: peaceful and bene- ficent lines will never cease chanting its gratitude to the American nation that turned the tide of defeat to victory.. The kaiser is getting a taste of what Yankee fighters can do, and also a forecast of what sev- eral millions of them will do when they come over. ; There never was a time in all American his- tory when a slice of bread meant so much as it now does—if it is NOT eaten in the millions of U. S. homes. \ ; \ THURSDAY; JUNE: 20, 1918. - Youre GOIN TO SWALLER THEM WORDS. ——4 ‘LETTERS FROM “SOMEWHERE”. » IN' FRANCE| 2° FROM CORP.

BUY W. 5. S.--—— “PERSHING’S CRUSADERS” The. United . States government, through:the Committee on Public In- formation, Mr. George Creel, chair- man, Division of Films, Chas. S. Hart, director, is offering to the public the first of its official’ war: films, “‘Per- shing’s Crusaders.” There are eight reels. of this: film which graphically shows how every American is helping to win this war. These pictures which show the grim earnestness: of the United States government in its war aims and its determination to stamp out Kaiserism, were taken by the U. S. Signal Corps.and Navy photograpli- ers, and camera men of the French General Staff, at home and abroad. In addition to this, “Pershing’s Crusad- ers” will show interesting scenes pho- tographed by the camera men of the Allies. Each week as important events happen over. there.they will be shown as a sort of curtain raiser to the big feature. This ‘war pictute will be unique in that’it will be thus constant- ly kept up. to date-and that it bears the official imprint of the government. “Pershing’s Crusaders” will be shown at Fargo for three days start- ing. on Monday. | In order that everyone: may see and thus real- ize the resulfs of American effort in this war it Has been decided to show this’ film/at’ popular war time prices, within the reach of all. In this¢comprehensive picture, one will see Uncle Sam's soldiers in the making; the work ‘at the cantonments, the activities of the great war chari- ties, Réd Cross; Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Masons and Y.:W.:é. A.; how: the army is fed and clothed; the making of arms and ammunition; far- mers'in ‘the fields doing: this part and workingmen in factories, each and all giving his’ best efforts for his’ coun- try; the building of ships ona scale such as the world has never seen; the navy in-action; American aviators, in the air somewhere'in France, and the boys in Khaki with General Pershing on: the western ‘front. It-is @ revelation: of a nation arous- ed in ‘all. its might..
