TO VOTE AGAIN IN MINNESOTA:— Next Monday the people of Minnesota will elect a member of the United States senate, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Knute Nelson. Although the Democrats have a candidate who is waging a real fight, political observers agree that the battle is between Governor J. A. O. Preus. Republican candidate, and Mangus Johnson, who is running under the colors of the Farmer-Labor I®rty. The Republican appeal is local to the state, little being said about the Harding administration. The Democrats and Farmer-Laborites have not been slow about noticing how little President Harding is mentioned. They are basing their fight ; chiefly .on the alleged shortcomings i of the administration in Washington. Magnus Johnson admits that he is a radical and he is making an appeal • to every disappointed and disgrunted 1 voter in the state. If elected he 1 promises to act with LaFollette, * Brookhart, Shipstead and others of 1 the radical bloc. Governor Preus is devoting himself to the farmers, de- J daring it is his greatest ambition to rehabilitate the agricultural situation in tl.northwest. His pledge is that, if elected, he will devote most of his time to legislation bettering farming conditions. Some of the old line Republicans sent word from the cast that they were willing to go into Minnesota and take the stump for Preus, but his managers have decided against th:<s. Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, has been in .the state, but he is not making speeches. Last fall, Shipstead—as a radical—defeated former Senator Kellogg by 80,000 votes. The Johnson forces say this • _ • 1! i.!—— C V... ... . 4 lira

is an indication of how strongly the

Farmer-Labor candidate will run 1 next Monday. Republican leaders J di ny these assertions, of course, but i many of them admit that the result ' will be close. Whatever the result i may be. politicians will see in it a direct bearing on next year’s presidential campaign. Tommy Gibbons, who stood up against Jack Dempsey ■ for lifteen rounds ami who is the I hero of Minnesota, has come out for Governor Preus. That mjiy have more to do with changing votes in the state than any influence six 1 stand-pat senators might have in a week’s work on the stump.—lndian“But we did not. We rejected the treaty of Versailles and have put nothing in its place. Our government is drifting in an open sea without a! policy of any kind to guide us, so far as the difficulties that confront us in Europe are concerned. We might have been far or. the highway to per- I manent peace and restored business and industrial conditions it we had thrown the predominating force of our great potential powers in favor of a permanent stability and upbuilding 1 program for the rehabilitation of Europe. This we have failed to do and t o question that now confronts us is whether or not we shall continue to pursue a do-nothing policy.” —Senator Underwood in staten”.”t following his return from Europe.— That’s the truth S-. gator an I we are not golDi to really gat uijwli jra until we d so ' etm :g aud ev*ry month It is put oft means a year or two lost in building back. j

Federal officers swoop down on Fort Wayne and land a bunch of Volstead violators. Well you know for some time we havo had an idea that a fellow could buy a drink or a . quart or a dray load in Fort Wayne • If he could stand the assessment. , And so It's true. The federal squad Is the sumo which did some business a few mouths ago in Gary and it is 1 announced they are out for business 1 in Fort Wayne. It’s just a little difficult to understand why they enter a place witli such a grandstand announcement however. It's quite likely several bootleggers huvo retired from business since the raids started last Saturday. Several citizens of Fort Wayne, it is presumed, wish they hud cleaned up just a day or two sooner. Isn't there a law against operating an automobile through the towns and cities with the muffler open? Looks as though a few "pinches” will be necessary to recall to numerous drivers there are any laws. One of these days a serious accident will occur and then the officers will be criticized unless they make a real effort to stop speeding, corner cutting and other violations of the laws. The road committee did a fine job yesterday when they secured agreements from the land owners in Jay county, thus assuring a settlement of any controversy which might hold up the improvement of the highway . south of here and consequently effect , all points north. The new Adams i county road association has important work to do and this was a good ' start. i It would be interesting to know i just what George Stanton, that i

red cent in backing the DempseyGibbons fight thinks of the sport now. >, , ’ t - Painful Rheumatic Swellings Disappear Discoverer Tells Druggists Not To Take a Cent of Anyone’s Money Unless Allenrhu Completely Banishes All Rhumatic Pains and Twinges. Mr. James 11. Allen, suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called ALLENRHU, to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferrs everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instructed druggists everywhere to dispense ALLENRHU with the understanding that if the first pint bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment. The Holt house Drug Co. can supply you. 0 NOTICE TO ELKS There will be a meeting of the Elk
