FOR BETTER SCORES.
Buttermakers and Creamery Managers
Seeking for Improvement.

A meeting of Blue Earth county
buttermakers and creamery manag gers
is being held at the city hall this af-
ternoon, the object being to promote
the art of making good butter with
the view to obtaining higher scorings
in the markets of the country. About
forty are in attendance, representing
third of the creameries of the county
A G.. Noble, buttermaker of the
Mankato creamery, was elected chair
man, but up to 4 80 p. m. no per-
manent organization had been effected.
There has been a general feeling dis
played on the part of those present in
favor of forming a county organiza-
ton, such as has been done in Free
born, Martin, Faribault and other
counties with great benefit to the
creameries. The opinion has been ex-
pressed by several of the speakers that
by getting together and keeping in
touch with the general advance in
the creamery industry the butter
makers can become educated to make
better butter and thus secure a wider
and better market and better prices for
the product.
1t is thought that permanent Or
ganization will be effected.

SPLENDID MEN.
Are the Candidates of the Repub=
Iican Party.
They are Competent to Fill lhs Offices
in q Manner Satisfactory
To All

A. G. Meyer, the Republican candi-
date for mayor, is conducting an &C
tive and winning campaign. His
forces are well organized and he is
leading a glorious fight and the sure
goal is victory. The Republican head
quarters is busy place, and Chief of
Staff Scherer is the busiest man in
the LOT, but is being given able assist
ance by the members of his committee
and by the candidates.
The fight has conferred most strongly
on mayor and it is we'll that the peo-
pie know something of the candidate
of the Glorious Old Party of reform
and good government. Mr.. Meyer
came to Mankato in 1888 from Owa-
tonna, where he had made his home
since he was fourteen years of age,
and where for the last eight years he
had been engaged in the marble bust
ness. During his thirteen years resi-
dence in Mankato he has followed the
same business, expanding and enlarg-
ing it by his hustling abilities and by
good business management. 1t is now
one of the prominent Industries of the
city, and Mr.. Meyer has been enabled

ten years. He owns a new home on
Third avenue, and stands we'll with
the people of his ward.
Mr.. Hallstrom is superintendent of
the Klondike quarry. He mas never
held any political Office. and never
asked for one ana would not have been
a candidate now but for the urgent
solicitation of his friends. He has
frequently been delegate to Republi-
can conventions and has taken an &C
tive interest in the party's welfare,
and is deserving at its hands.
The Republicans of the First ward
were divided in the caucus between
Mr. Hallstrom and Fred Day, but are
now united upon Mr.. Hallstrom, in
compliance with the Republican prin-
ciple that the majority should rule.
Mr.. Day will give him loyal support,
and so will his friends, and the result
will be that the First ward will be
represented in the council by Mr..
Hallstrom, and it will be we'll repre-
scented if he is elected.

corner. For nine years he has been a
director of the National Citizens
bank, and he was one of the organ
izers of the Mankato Citizens Fire as
ISOLATION and is now serving his
fourth year as president of it. This
association has prospered wonderfully
during this time and now is actually
carrying more insurance in Minnesota
than any of the old line companies.
= AS member of the council for the
past two years, Mr.. Meyer has had
the distinction of accomplishing vast
amount of good to the city, but this
has already been presented to the
readers of the Free Press.
A man who has succeeded so re-
markably we'll in his own business,
has brought such prosperity to institu-
tions of which he is an officer, and has
accomplished so much for the good of
the city during one brief term as al
derman, certainly would not be found
wanting as mayor of the city. 1t is
such men as he is that bring munich
palities to the front and make them
what they ought to be. Every city
ought to have Its best business men,
the men who have.-.carved out success
for. themselves and are capable of
guidingg .the..-municipality with
strong hand, sitting in the mayors
chair. Mr.. Meyer is possessed of all
of these qualifications. He is popular,
man of the.masses one who would
fill the chief executives chair with
credit to himself and the city, and one
who could represent the city in any
capacity.
D. V. Williams has no opposition
for city recorder, his excellent services
commencing themselves alike to both
parties. Born in Hermon, N Y, he
has resided in Mankato for twenty

for various firms and acquiring a
thorough knowledge of keeping books
He has held the Office of city recorder
for one term, coming in when the
books were in a tumble, the funds
overdrawn, some of the officials in
debt to the city, and miserable con-
dition existing generally. He went to
work and improved the system of
bookkeeping used by the city, so that
it is possible to tell at any time just
how each fund stands. He has fol-
lowed the charter as much as possible
and caused the cou neil to respect the

money came in from the taxes. He
has established the sound system of
crediting to the various funds only
money that has actually been received
and drawing orders on the funds only
when there is actual money in them.
In other words, the Pope plan of hav-
ing the funds filed with expectations
and borrowing money to pay the bills
has been changed to the Williams plan
of having the money in the funds and
paying the bills with the city's
money and not with borrowed money.

no opposition.
The Republicans present the name
of W. d. Tompkins for city treasurer,

Mankato for the past thirty four years,
and during large part of that time
has been engaged in the manufacture
of wooden pumps Of late years he
has devoted his time to repairing
pumps and to carpentering in his shop.
If elected treasurer he will be in a
position to devote his entire time to
the duties of the office.
