Being a lawyer, Congressman Vol stead hag been appointed a member of the Judiciary committee' of tne House. Having been re-elected for a long succession of years he has be come the ranking Republican member of this committee, and is In line for the chalrmanehlp in case his party controls oongreBB. IF this should hap pen he WOULD be In position to as sist the temperance cause very ma terially, his friends say. This ap pears to be the main argument used by Volstead'a backers why he should be again elected to congress While it may be admitted that such a promotion would be a very nice thing for Mr. Volstead, we may be pardoned If we suggest that there would be little advantage fer the peo ple of the district In his becoming the head lawyer of Congress. The added responsibilities assumed and restraining Influences of the reaction ary high councils of his party would effectually tie hia hands for him ana prevent his promoting any remedial legislation). For mind you, the ver same contingency that would give him this chairmanship would make Joseph G. Cannon speaker or chairman of the appropriations committee, Joseph W. Fordney, a deep-in-the-dye stand patter, chairman of the ways and means, Boise Penrose, chairman of the senate finance committee, Henrj A. Dupont head of military affairs, Sutherland, Lorimer's friend, would preside over privileges and elections and a long list of stand-patters would control party councils and commit tees. This is a contingency that the seventeen thousand voters who voted for Roosevelt In the Seventh District Jn 1912 may well stop and consider. They broke away from the Republican party in 1912 because this crowd that now is In line for the best positions and Influence in Congress stood for reactionary policies and blocked all reform at the national convention. Will these voters now surrender their convictions? Voting to give Volstead his chairmanship will be voting to give these other fellows THEIR chairmanships. The best that can be said of Vol stead Is that he has passively ac quiesced in the reforms which have swept his district dry. We know of no instance where he was militant when the battle was on at home. He had his ear close to the ground and voted so as not to offend his district, a ad that is all that can be said for him. He has been amply repaid by the people for all that he has done for them. If we understand the temper of the people correctly they intend to elect a man to congress this fall whose sympathies are wholly with the com mon people. A man who has for years fought ably and well on the firing line against corruption and pol itical chicanery. A man whose train ing as a speaker and in public life fits him exceptionally well for the position. A man who has the ability and courage to get up in congress and call a spade a spade, and who will be the people's advocate In the truest sense of the word. That man Is Sen 1 ator JS. B.

QrVAMAMTWEB OaCTOATlOM, 8.400. WILLMAR TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1916 S.00 ment Is sweeping over the district in his favor over all the back-fires being set by ©lever and experienced politic ians. There is no lack of precedent for what we believe Is about to happen in the Seventh Congressional District this fall. The people in the fourteen counties now comprising the district have never hesitated to rally around the banner of ono whom they believe to be a leformer when they have be come aroused. Away back in 1894 in the three cornered fight for governor, these counties gave Knute Nelson, Rep., 15,400 Becker, Dem., 2,604 and Owen, Peoples, 13,568, and more than half of Nelson's plurality waB secured in the district which two yearB ago elected Lobeck state sen ator. In 1898 these fourteen counties gave Llnd 16,712 votes for governoi to 12,131 for Eustls, Republican. In 1904 they gave Johnson 17,065 ae against 15,fc71 for Dunn, Republican for governor. And fcur years ago they gave Roosevelt, Progressive, 17, 027 to 5,377 for Taft, Republican and 10,979 for WilBon. A contemporary which we assume to be opposed to Senator Lobeck's election to Congress is concerned about the great loss to the state 11 Mr. Lobeck does not go back to the State Senate. This Is a hypocritical plea. It is not made from any love for Lobeck or his work, but in order to confuse voters on the issue. Pope and Douglas counties can well be trusted to send a good man to the State Senate, when Lobeck goes to Congress. The very qualities which make Lobeck so valuable in the State Senate will make him doubly so at Washington, where the fight for bet ter laws must be carried to. On to Washington! Vote for Lobeck. As friends of a congressman who has had no opposition, for six years, and everything practically his own way for fourteen years, Representa tive A. J. Volstead's backers are do ing some unseemly whining because Senator E. E. Lobeck saw fit to throw his hat into the ring, and because people are rallying to his standard all over the district. Has Mr. Volstead acquired permanent title to the seat by reason of having held the office without opposition? It comes with bad grace from old politicians who used to club voters to vote against their own interests by threats of panics, mortgage foreclos ures and lockouts, to find fault with President Wilson for using his in fluence to see that the railroad men secured their just demands, and thereby avoided a strike. Had the President failed in his efforts, they would have blamed him for the strike. The drift of sentiment of Indepen dent voters is distinctively towards President Wilson. Unless the re-ac tionary politicians find some way of stemming the tide Kandiyohi county will give him a handsome vote in No vember. Hughes has not voted since 1910. Hell not forget to attend to his duty as an American citisen tills year. ra»-«»3 LOBECK'S DATES IN KANDIYOHI COUNTY Itinerary of Senator LobeckHas Been Arranged for Next Week. Hon E E.

THIS PATENTED ROUND OAK HUMIDIFIER SUPPLIES IT This distinctively new improvement is exclusive with the Round Oak Folks. Think of lb—a water pan built right Into the stove, which re turns the moisture to the air as fast as the stove steals it. A teakettle or other closed-top receptacle is not only unsightly on this parlor stove, but when very hot delivers steam—result, excessive moisture. This Round Oak improvement returns moisture to the air as rapidly as the stove steals it, without boiling. It assures abundant vitality and health. Song birds and plants will thrive in this atmosphere. Compare this with the dry, parched condition of the air where other heating stoves are used. WHAT OF FUEL ECONOMY? The genuine Round Oak Base Burner alone uses each side of the ash pan as a radiating surface. These exclusive, patented improvements steal sufficient heat from the chimney to heat an extra room. Now examine the size of the circulating flue that takes the cold air off the floor and sends it out through the top of the stove superheated. These two improvements alone will save sufficient fuel, over other stoveB, to pay the interest on your investment. Grant us the opportunity of showing these three marked improve ments, together with the several others, found only in this specialty. The price is no greater than others* charge for so-called high-grade base burners which possess none of these vital improvements. Sold only by AUGUST HOGLUND WILLMAR PAID ADVERTISLMENT Alva R.
