New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-09-14
PRIMARY ELECTION IS CLOSE
Contest for Nomination Will Close
Next Tuesday.
Little Doubt But That Old Officers
Will be Nominated.
Political Interest Difficult to Sue
cessfully Agitate.

While there has been some little in
terest worked up in the two parties
that control the election in this county
it is certain that there is not the in
terest that would show itself if there
was danger that the best men for the
Office would not receive the nomi-
nation. 1t is in this very fact that
the danger lies to those who have
opposition and this matter should be
borne in mind by the voters.
While there is always danger of
defeat for the man for whom you are
working, when there are two or more
men in the field, no matter how certain
you are of his election, it is never-the-
less true that of the men who have
contest on the chances for defeat are
very slim.
L. G. Vogel is not worrying over
his chances and he will get a good
majority, in fact about all of the
votes; Wesley Miller, for register of
deeds has an ambitious opponent who
is doing some vigorous electioneering
and will succeed in diverting large
number of votes but the friends of Mr..
Miller are too numerous. If there was
any reason why he should not be
returned Mr.. Carlson might stand in
a position to win; Capt. George has
been an active supporter Of the demo-
cratic party all his life and con
scientious county official and there is
no reason to believe that the democrats
are going to fail to return him after
| the primaries.
Two years ago Mr.. Schneider did
not have to fight for the primary
nomination but he had vigorous
| fight to win the election. This year he
has a small fight in the primari and
a smaller one at the general election.
Mr.. Schneider is deserving of the solid
support of his party at the primaries
and of the people of the county at the
polls. His conscientious discharge of
| the duties of the Office of treasurer,
have shown him to be a safe man to
tie to. Always accommodating and
ready to put himself out to favor those
who have business with his Office, the
people have learned to like his way,
and the Review is Offering non-par-
tisan suggestion when it recommends
that he be returned to the Office with a
vote that will show that the people are
pleased with the way in which he has
i conducted the affairs of the county
which are of the most vital Importance
Mr.. Schneider is essentially a either
of the county, having lived in this city
but a short time, coming here from
the west end of the county, he has
friends in every township.
i Two years ago the highest number
of votes cast for any candidate was
for L. G. Vogel who led the tickle
with total of $40. There was..a con
test on that year for the Office o
Judge of Probate between S. A. Georg,
, and j. M. Haubrich and the forme.
} won out, the vote being George, 355
) Haubrich, 213. The contest in tn
i republican party was between Vim
/ Julius and G.. M. Seamans and theil
Z votes were Julius, 347; Seamans, 100
These figures will serve to show hoy
the contests are likely to end this year
It is doubtful if the vote will be al
heavy this year as two years ago, a
the farmers are all busy and will hes
!, itate about leaving their work. Tn
primary election law was given to th
5 farmers for the purpose of preventin
1 the cities from controlling the nomi
3 nation Of men for Office and the
E should not lose their identity in th
t matter by neglecting to vote.
