New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-02-24

favor sending Senator SOmerville to
the Chicago gathering and his selec-
ton will prove very popular in this
part of the state. The father of the
famous corporation law is we'll quail
fed to serve in the cap lcity mentioned
and it will be found that he has many
supporters in the delegation from the
southern counties.
Although election is still many
months away, considerable interest is
beginning to be manifested in county
politics and aspirants for Office are
commencing to appear. Not all the
positions are being sought for, except
by the present incumbents, but it is
apparent that there is to be hard
fight for at least one billet.
County Auditor Louis G. Vogel is
to be candidate for reelection and
will go before the people at the pri-
maries with the avowed intention of
securing the republican nomination.
It is his wish to remain in Office until
the work upon the county Jail is
brought to completion and the voters
are very likely to see that he is returned
for another term. They know him as
tried official, a strong campaigner
and man whose strength, in the last
two years, has increased and not di-
minished. At the present time there
is every indication that he will not
have opposition at the polls. One
New Ulm man who was being groomed
as his successor has already an
nounced that he will not enter the race
and a Sleepy Eye politician has also
declared that he will keep his ambi-
ton in allegiance.
For county treasurer, however, there
is a wealth of material. Treasurer
John Schneider will not step down
without a struggle but there is excite
ment ahead of him at the primaries.
There he will be opposed by Andrew
Amann, at present mem Der of the
New Ulm city council, and the latter
has put aside all his business cares in
order to enter the campaign in light
marching order. His strength is not
a known quantity but his showing in
the city may be sufficient to offset the
Schneider influence in the western end
of the county.
In the republican camp there are
three prospective candidates. Capt.
Frank Burg, who made such strong
fight two years ago, is undecided
whether. he will announce himself OF
not but may conclude to come out later
on. August Windorn is said to be
distributing cards and soliciting sup
port and Peter Mertz of Sleepy Eye, is
credited with making plans to enter
/ the arena.
/ Five officials for whom there is nc
declared opposition are Representative
S. D. Peterson, Judge of Probate S
A. George, County Attorney Eina1
Hoidale, Register of Deeds VIC Mil
Ter and Sheriff VIM. j. Julius. Two
of these men, County Attorney Hoidal,
and Sheriff VIM. J. Julius, are emit
tied to reelection, as much by virtue
/ of the unwritten ''two-term" law al
through the fact that they have mad
exceptionally efficient officials. In th,
administrator of their Offices Judg
/ George and Register Miller have Civ
en- satisfaction to all and it is extreme
| ~ doubtful if more influential mai
could be elected to the house from
Brown county than S. D. Peterson.
/ It is said, however, that there vii
be some new faces in the Brown coun
ty political field this year, one of whon
will be George Glotzbach OF Sleep,
/ Eye.
