Contest at BraInerd May Make Some Diff
ference with County Officers.
BRAINERD. Minn.-Alderman P. G..
Fogelstrom Of the fourth ward was de-
feated for reelection by P. II. Murphy
by some ten votes At the last meeting of
the old city council Fogelstrom filed a
protest against the seating of Murphy on
the ground that the latter had served on
the registration board after being nomi
mated for the office. The new council
meets on Nov. 10 and it is thought it will
not seat the alderman ELECT, at least until
some judicial notice has been taken of his
case. The matter will come before Judge
McClenahan and it has been intimated
| that the entire vote Of the ward may be
thrown out. In this event it will make
some difference in the election of county
officers. The case will be watched with
interest, as it is one Of the first of the
kind brought to notice in the northern
part Of the state.
