BERG and HIS aUNDER
THEY WILL CAUSE ENDLESS CON
FUSION IN ELECTION OF RAIL
ROAD COMMISSIONERS
BALLOTS TO BE THROWN OUT
Intention of Republicans Is to Take
Advantage of Every Technical
objection That May
Re Raised.

If Albert Berg had not been so busy
running for the legislature in Roseau
county as to perforce neglect his duties
as secretary of state, for which the pec-
pie OF Minnesota are paying him a hand
some salary, in spite of his continued
absence from the office, it is possible
that there would not have occurred the
misleading legend on the state ballot this
year which must result in endless con-
fusion among the voters of the state.
and may, indeed, pervert the declared
intention of the majority thereof
The state ballot leaves the candidates
for the state railroad and warehouse
commission in single division of the
ticket, regardless of the fact that two
of them are to be elected for four years,
ana only one for two years, and in
spite OF the opinion of lawyers, eminent
IN the state, that the citizen can only eff,
fectlvely vote for two of the .four-yeap
men and one Of the two-year men, the
instructive legend at the right of the
ticket pFaced there for the voters in
struction, says: Vote for three"
!. So long as the voter votes the straight
party nominations ne is safe But if he
essays to select. as many do, men who
suit him better than the favorites of any
one political conyentioA, he is taking
long chances
For example, taking the opinion of high
10SNA duliOlltE, tLIllS is the way the ball
lot should be counted, if voted in regl-
larly, under the law, without being in
violation of the instruction, printed on
the state ballot prepared by Secretary
Berg
IF the voter marks a cross opposite,
three Of the men who have been snorni,
mated for four-year terms, his ballot is
invalid as to all.
IF he marks a cross opposite three
two-year men, 1t will be invalid, sim
ilafly.
Bat If he votes for two two-year men.
and only one of the fCur-year men, his
vote will be invalid as to the two-year
candidates, but not as to the four-year
men.
The result of this confusion, in the
counting of the ballot next Tuesday
night must necessarily mean many in
accuracies, and unnecessary delay in the
count of the vote, not to, mention the
possibility Of controverting the intended
expression of the peoples will by a de-
ceptive Instruction, on the margin of
the ticket.
The ballot should have been printed
with the fOur-year nominees in a pace
by themselves, with the instruction,
vote for two, and the two-year men by
themselves with the instruction, vote for
one, but while Mr.. Berg was stunning
the wilds of Roseau county to promote
his aspirations speakershipvard, his as
sistarts, also campaigning for this and
that place, left the ticket to do the best
1t could, and the result is the botch
which is now the perrlexity of ali the
nominees for the railroad commission
without regard to party.
For Democrats the safe rule to make
their ballots count is to vote for three

POLITICAL PELLETS.

James R. Hickey is already looked upon
as at" The Democratic candidate for
the legislature from the Fourth ward,
besides being very popular with the
younger element, Democrats and Repub-

his work is of the telling kind and
also that the Democratic organization in

ations, this year it is going right, and
no mistake. Mr.. Hickey will Jump from
the Fourth ward to the state capitol

VAN SAINT MONEY VANISHED.
When Democrats Met 1t, 1t Wanted

Two to One Odds.
Sammy Fullerton, in moment of ex-
huberance last Saturday, told Billy Mas
terman, the Saltwater editor who is
| chairman of theS Republican state CEN
trail committee:
Bill" he says quiet like, cts the
softest you eVeFe see Money to burn

So when Editor Chairman Masternan
left Tams,.in charge of the. inside com
m1ttee at supper times and boarded a
car for home, he wrote out a little piece
for his paper, the Saltwater Gazette.

There is one man this election whom
everybody is going to vote for, and that
is DR.. Arthur Miller, the Democratic can
didate for county coroner. His election
is conceded by every one. There is alb
solutely no doubt Of it. His fitness for
the position, his long service in the inter
ests of the city and his pleasing personal
Ity have won for him countless friends. In
order to prevent any bad mistakes on the
part of voters, however, 1t might be well
to caution them not to confound DR..

articles that might have been distorted.
Citizens in the neighborhood of the Ben
jamin Drew school remember that in 1925
there was a blaze in the basement of the
school. Upon investigation it was found
that Mr.. Justus had placed the furnaces
on wooden props, instead Of iron bars and
bricks. The next day the furnaces were
fixed properly and the danger of future
fires averted.
The friends of Mr.. Justus are now wor-
rying about where he is going to light,
but they will undoubtedly see that his
fall was not really of. quite as much i'm
portance as the fall of Rome.
