SWINGING RIGHT ALONG
EVERY DAY BRINGS MORE CAN
DIDATES INTO THE JOURNALS
GREAT, POPULAR VOTING CON-
TEST FOR WORLDS FAIR TRIP.

The j. urn>aPs worlds fair
popular voting contest has caught the
public fancy and not only are the
present contestants hot after the
prizes, but each day brings more con-
testants into the race.
The forty prizes are certainly worth
striving for. They, include forty trips
to the great st. Louis worlds fair to
forty of the most popular u n
subscribers. The forty lucky ones
will travel on special trains and enjoy
all the comforts and pleasures that
T h e j ournal can provide for
them. The trip will be as good as a
trip around the world, for every nation
is to have exhibits at the big show and
it will be we'll worth visiting.
On another page is printed to-day s
vote and entry blank: If you have not
already entered the contest it is not too
late to do so and you stand as good a
chance of winning out in your district
as anybody. You should enter at
once, however and not let another day
go by without doing so.
This is no ordinary cOupOn-cipping
contest in which just physical effort
of clipping coupons is involved. AS a
matter Of fact, each coupon sent in
counts only one vote, but there is a
quicker way of securing votes than by
sending in coupons. "
Each cent paid on subscriptions en-
titles the subscriber to one vote-a
vote for each cent paid. Thus 35
cents paid counts IS votes, 81 paid
counts 100 votes, 50 paid counts 200
votes, except that for one years sub
scription paid in. advance a grand
credit will be allowed Of 1000 votes
There is still another plan for you
to roll up votes for yourself. That is
by contract subscriptions" In case
it should not be convenient to pay in
advance, subscribers may contract for
The journal for any period OF
time and will receive credit in votes as
follows: One years contract will
count 300 votes; six months contract
will. count 1875 votes; three months
contract will count so votes; one
months contract will count Is votes.
Now is certainly the time for you
to get into the race with your friends
Many inquiries have been received as
to when the contest will end. Due
notice of this time will be given all
contestants so that they may all have
an equal chance to come in on the
finish. r t,@

VOTERS LEAGUE
EXTENDS SCOPE
IT HAS TAKEN ON THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.
Three of the Present Board Of Five
Retire This Year and Some Will
Stand for Re-election-New Fac
tor in Compaign May Affect Nash.

Attic not in the original plan of
organization, the Voters league will
extend it's scope SO as to include the
county commissioners. Three of the
five commissioners retire this year and
the field of candidates is still in such
embryonic condition that the league
hopes to do effective work in having
good men nominated and elected.
AS the leagues first campaign was
originally laid out, it included only
municipal matters, with particular
scrutiny directed toward aldermen. To
get line on such men as might come
up for reelection, the acts of the
council and it's members have been
subjected to careful analysis and any
significant discoveries have been
stored UP for future use. This same
system is now to be applied to the
county board, which controls the ex-
penditure of about one-third of the
county.
1t is freely predicted that this new
activity Of the league will eventually
develop into an attempt to retire M.
w. Nash, who is expected to be can
didate for reelection. He has been
long on the board and in many ways
has been the dominating member. If
the league tries to replace him, how
ever, the work is likely to be done
under the surface for some other man
rather than as an attack on Nash.
So far. but one new man has APP
the board. This is Ed Falk, we'll
known in national guard circles as
inspector of small arms practice. He
is likely to be aspirant from the third
district, which is now represented by
Nash.

A"DRUNK". CARRIES BONDS
OLE PETERSON PAYS HIS FINE
WITH A COUPON, FROM SECURI-
TIES WHICH ROBBERS OVER
:. LOOKED. -.

His pockets bullying with U. s..
bonds, Ole Peterson smiled this morn
ing when Judge Holt sentenced him to
pay fine of SO or serve ten days in
the workhOuse.
AS soon as sentence was passed Ole
knocked on the bull pen door and
asked for some one to come and get
his money. He pulled a package from
his pocket containing $4,000 in United
States bonds. AS nothing but cash is
accepted in the police court, it was
necessary for Ole to send a messenger
to a bank wit ha coupon. The paper
was readily accepted and the cash sent
back.
Peterson said that he became intox-
icated in Hennepin avenue saloon
last night and while in stupor he was
robbed of $50 in cash. He says the
touch up artists overlooked the
bonds for they were in his pocket
when he woke up at Central station.

SERVICE DISTRICT
NEW ARRANGEMENT FOR MIN
NEsOTA AND THE DAKoTAs.
One Secretary Located in ST. Paul Will
Have Charge of Central Office
Commissioner Is Now Going Over
Records in the Twin Cities.

Complete reorganization Of the sys-
tenn OF civil service administration is
promised for Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. Civil Service Commissioner AL
word W. Cooley arrived in st. Paul yes
terday and announced that that city
would be headquarters for a civil
service district including this state and
the Dakotas. He spent yesterday
afternoon in going over the records at
ST. Paul and it is expected that SINH
lar work will be completed in Mime
apolfs by. tonight.
Under the new system the thirty-odd
local boards in Minnesota and North
and South Dakota will be abolished
and one secretary will be appointed
thru whose hands will pass all of the
affairs of the new district. 1t is de-
clared that the old system did not
work with uniformity and the records
We're scattered and difficult to com
pare. All the records will be kept in
one office after the change, which it is
thought will be in operation in about
four months. The work will be cen
tralized. Postal and customs affairs
will be under the secretary and not
divided as at present.
Commissioner Cooley has just es-
tablished such district, embracing
Illinois and Wisconsin. 1t is the in

lish districts in twenty three repre-

JAPS HAVE ALL
The ADV Ant AGE
SO SAYS CAPTAIN Won WILLNIAR,
LATE OF GERMAN NAVY.
Land Fighting Alone Remains to Be
Done and Even in That the Japan-
csc Have Very Decided Advantages,
Sea Fighting Practically Over Now.

Japan caught Russia mapping and
struck at an unexpected moment,
said Captain Frederick Won Willmar,
late of the German navy, now of Min
neapolis. when asked for his opinion
of! the naval operations of the bellig-
erents in the orient. "The Russians,
reports show, were not prepared to re-
sist an attack and neither were the
Chinese. Japan is playing the same
tactics now as them"
Captain Won Willmar spent almost
six years in cruising about the Yellow
sea, Japan sea and on the Yalu river.
He is thoroly familiar with the zone
of war. so far as / can see,'' said
he, Japan has Russia completely
blocked at the naval game The fleet
at Port Arthur is effectively bottled up
and the fleet at Vladivostok is useless.
Japan has no seaports which the Rus
sian fleet can bother as they are too
we'll fortified and protected. The Rus
sian fleet may be out of the harbor at
Vladivostok, probably is, but Japan
has an adequate. fleet watching the
Korea strait, and there is no chance
for the Russian fleet to- reach Port
Arthur to relieve that point that can
see.
ANY reinforcements of the naval
branch must come thru the Strait of
Formosa, and Japan has that check
mated. It would appear that Russia
had lost before the first shot was fired.
They were completely outplayed by
the Japanese sailors.
"To my mind the Japanese will keep
Port Arthur bottled up and will land
their land forces at Chemulpho or near
there. They will then probably march
them toward the Yalu river and right
In that part of Korea and Manchuria

If the Japs cross the Yalu and attack
Port Arthur from the rear, while the
Japanese navy batters it from the
front there will be some fighting which
will make history. Russia's strong
proved nothing more than traps for
themselves.

same training as that received by the
Germans. In fact they have been
drilled, largely. by men who were at

Russian depends upon his officers and
has little Initiative. In hard fighting
with the Japs I think this will tell
against the Russians.
