There is not another town in the
state the size of Redwood Falls that
is doing so much general building as
is this city. With four or five bust
ness houses in course of construction,
the $4,000 Christian church being
pushed forward, and miles of cement
side and cross walks being laid there
is every reasonx to feel elated over
the city's building progress for this
year. One has but to go in other
towns of the same size to find condi-
lions that seem extremely depressed
to warrant a hurrying back to the
old home town with a feeling that
after all it is little better than any
of the Tiers. Take whirl thru
the state and satisfy yourselves.
S. j. Race and wife returned on
Tuesdayfevening of last week from
an eleven days outing on the great
lakes, visiting at Detroit for a coup
lie of days during the trip. The
journey on the waters was for the
purpose of improving Mrs. Races
health, and the improvement is not
iceable, not only by Mrs. Races
friends, but also by Mrs. Race
herself, and during the outing Mrs.
Race took on eight pounds of addi-
tional flesh. Plenty of rest, sleep
and freedom from the ordinary
day routine work, together with the
ride on the waters of the big north
ern ponds is what Mr.. Race attri-
butes the marked improvement in
his wife's condition to.
]. M. Thompson, formerly at the
head of the State Bank of Belview,
but now cashier of the Gold-Stabeck
bank at Devils Lake, North Dakota,
whirled thru North Redwood for
Belview, Tuesday evening of last
week. He remained in Belview
from II o'clock until 8 the next
morning, and was then driven to
Renville, where he caught a Mil
waukee train for Minneapolis, and
at five o'clock Wednesday afternoon
was on his way to his new home at
Devils Lake. The restless hustling
business disposition of Jess would
not permit of any longer stay in this
neck of the woods, and he asked
The GAZETTE to say "hello" to
those friends whom he did not meet,
and also permitted us to state that
the new banking venture was grow
ing rapidly and was destined to be
one of the biggest institutions in
the hustling and thriving town of
Devils Lake, where there is life to
every square inch of city territory.

The Other Places,

The battle between the rival candi-
dates for mayor has been so fierce and
the, interest in the contest between the
heads Of the state tickets SO intense
that candidates for other places on
both local and state tickets, including
the nominees for congress and the va
cant judgeship, have received compare
lively little attention. Il,
4 so far as the success of the srepub-
iican candidates on the state ticket is
concerned, they will have little opposi-
tion. No candidate on the democratic
state ticket expects to be elected ex-
cept the governor. 81
AS to the local ticket, the Voters
league has set out its recommends
lions with reference to the council and
the county commissionerships, and these
will be found in this issue. The Voters
league has the confidence Of the voters
Of the city in large measure, and
its recommendations will undoubted-
| ly be received with, favor, especially
where the voter is unable to judge of
his own knowledge as to the qualifca.
tions of rival candidates. H.
Mr.. Nye is, morally certain Of cleo
ton by very handsome majority.
The contest over the judgeship is
more even, and owing to the fact that
many voters regard a position on the
bench as a place to be filled irrespec-
tive of politics, the result is uncertain.
Both the candidates are estimable gen-
tlemen. Both are eminently qualified
for the place Both have, rendered ser
vices which Justify them in presenting
themselves as candidates for this hon
orab1e and responsible position. But if
Judge Brown is elected it must be- done
by republican votes. His appeal is on
the ground Of ;theadesirability Of non
partizan judiciary. It is a plea, .how7
ever, which is entitled to comparatively
little consideration, inasmuch as The
non-partizanship Of the bench is de-
sirable not so much for the mere pur-
pose Of having democrats as we'll ssas
republicans in that office as for the
purpose Of eliminating contests for the
bench from politics. That can be done
only by preconvention or preprimary
agreements. Time was when agree
ments Of this kind were made: and. OBJ
served, but on one occasion some years
ago the democrats saw q chance to
grab positions on the bench to which
they were not sentitledxand, abandoned
the non-partizan plan. Since then:there
has been no attention paid to- consider
ations Of this kind. Under the. circuiii:;
stances, Judge Harrison having made
an admirable record on the bench, has
right to expect his party support. At

Governor Johnson's ''Refuta-
= ~ ton" = III. =

At the Auditorium Saturday night,
Governor johnson attempted to refute
the statements in q Journal editorial
charging him with claiming the credit
for work done by others. The governor
did little more than reiterate his for
mer claims. He did not state any new
facts, or charge The Journal with
unfairness. He still claimed credit for
the rate reduction, but not in such
broad terms as he used before HIS state
ments were challenged by the signed
statement Of the railroad commissioners
and the attorney general. He no longer
says that he summoned the commission
to conference, that he "directed''
them to make an arbitrary order re-
ducing rates, or that he threatened
them with removal if they refused to
comply, He says nothing about the
correction, and takes no issue with the
statements Of the other state officials.
He merely tones down his claims and
says nothing. +. -. :. -..-...
!: The governor still claimed credit fo1
the timber trespass prosecutions T:h e
/ j ournal has given him credit for
helping the attorney general to get ad.
ditional assistance to carry on these
cases. There his part in the matter
stops. The disclosures were made by
a republican public examiner. backed
by a republican governor. The only
reason actions were not begun then
was the reluctance Of the acting at
torney general. It was the change in
attorneys general, and not the change
in governors, that was responsible. fo1
the prosecution Of the cases. :ls IN:
| AS refutation, the governors state
ment failed to refute. People now, IN
derstand that there are other state Of
fcials besides the governor, and that il
is not political fairness to appropriate
their work, the work Of republicans, t.
bolster up democratic candidacy.

Who Against the Charter. and
g., = Why? - :s .sz..ss. IF

The opposition to the ~ charter is
showing itself more definitely. than it
did week ago. There has been an
organization effected to work against
the charter at the polls tomorrow. The
voters will be met with the customary
objection that people should not vote
for something they have not read. Of
course not, one person in q thousand
has read the charter in full, But this
objectionis half truth which is for
practical purposes a whole lie. It seeks
to deceive the voter into believing
that something which he has not had
an opportunity to read is being foisted
upon him. This is far from the truth.
Over 10000 copies Of the proposed
charter have been printed l.. and circu-
lated free among the people. "A care
fully prepared digest showing each
minute change from the present
charter has been printed, published
more than once in the newspapers and
circulated everywhere in the city This
digest is SO short that no man who
has any interest in the matter can have
any excuse for not having, read it. The
charter has been made public properly.
It is well known. Il is as familiar to
the voters as such document can be.
When approached with this argument
against the charter let the voter ask
for a more specific objection to 1t. Let
him ask the opponent to state his ex-
act objection. He will probably say
| that it allows unlimited bond issues.
Il, does nothing Of the kind. Bond is
sues under the new charter are more
carefully guarded than under the pres
ent charter and general laws. q.
Who is particularly opposed to bond
issues at the present times Il is the
gas company which does not care to
have the city financially able to meet

Senator Nelson on the Governor.
ship. $500

Senator Nelson analysed the gov
ernorship contest in his usually direct
and logical fashion Saturday night
when he said that there, were just two
things which should settle the CUES
ton whether republicans should vote
for Mr.. Cole. 49,. i: /, ~..,...>, ?.
The first thing he wanted to know,
he said, was whether Mr.. Cole was
properly nominated. On this point the
senator had interviewed Coles rivals
for the nomination and found that
they were willing to. concede that Mr..
Cole got the nomination honestly and
fairly in convention where there
were no contested delegations. On, that
point, therefore, there could be no con-
troversy. ~
The second point to be settled was,
els Mr.. Cole q fit man to be govern

porary reverses he afterwards dis
charged every obligation resting against
him in full and with interest. He
found, too, that he had legislative
record which should commend him to
the voters of the state-that he not
only, voted right on measures which
. other men proposed, but that he had
the faculty Of initiative and was the
author Of important legislation of great
benefit to the public. This: Legislative
record has been exploited many times
and it is not necessary to recite it here
in detail. 1t is only desired to call
attention to the senator's direct and
practical way Of settling the question
as to whether Mr. Cole is entitled tc
republican votes at a time when a gooo
many republicans are likely: to drift
away on personal grounds or on Other
grounds which have nothing to DO with
state politics OF state issues.

Some Contrasts

The opposing candidates for mayor
Of Minneapolis present some contrasts
which it is worth while to take into
advertiser of Mimi eapolis in. a. favor
able. way Mr.. Jones has rendered great
service to this city. Everybody knows
what has made most talk about Mime
..apolis during the past year and what
has attracted most favorable comment
thruout the country. It has been the
cleaning up Of the city and it's redemp-
ton from the bad name which it re-
ceived during the, Ames administra-
ton and from which it did not recover,
unfortunately, during the next two
years. The thing which emphasized
the fact that Minneapolis was differ
emit town from what it had been under
Ames was the ffid". and the closing
of public gambling houses: CLOSING
the front doors and keeping the ,ssa-
looms more quiet on the. Sabbath, of
which Mr.. Haynes boasts, made no i'm
preston upon the sentiment Of the
country with regard to this city. It
was still regarded as a saloon-ridden
town where vice had had such free
rein as to attract, general attention.
It was not until the Jones policies
were made effective, that the country
at large-or the people at home, sfor
that matter-had discovered. any radi-
cal improvement over conditions when
they were at their worst. Under the
Haynes administration citizens in ia
vor Of law enforcement and the re-
strafnt Of vice were still holding public
indignation meetings and organizations
for the protection of the home were
active in their limited sphere, seeking
TO-. drive out winerooms, lessen the
evils Of social vice and in other ways
accomplish what Mr.. Haynes, in his
attitude Of ediscouraging inertia, -
had failed to accomplish.
Since the Jones policies became effec-
tive Minneapolis has had more and bet
ter advertising in the monthly maga-
zines zines and the weekly reviews and daily
newspapers turnout the country than
ever before, and more than she could
afford to buy, if lit were paid for at
space rates. For this Mr.. Jonesli is en-
titled to credit. He has been a booster.
Minneapolis has profted by his aggres-
sive policies and lin all fairness we
must keep that fact in mind tomorrow.
On the other hand, not only did the
Haynes administration fail to meet the
expectations Of the heavy non-partizan
vote cast for him at lime when he had
the confidence of the community, but
in this campaign hsss has not hesitated
to attack the reputation Of his own
city for his own personal advantage,
and by misrepresentation. exaageration

The size Of Minnesota's vote tomorrow

dit1ons. The character of the day will
not make much difference in the cities
and villages, where rain will reduce 1t a
little, but not materially. The farmers
are the ones who have to make long trips
to reach the polls. If the day is fair
there will be thousands of farmers who
will refuse to take the time from their
fall blowing and other field work to
make the trip to the polls. The weather
forecast for tomorrow is "rain,' and un-
less it comes as a storm severe enough

sN -Four years ago James @. Haynes
was elected mayor. He entered the
office with opportunities exceeding
those Of any man who ever stepped into
the office. There. had been a real :" car
nival of crime'' in the city. It's mayor
and chief OF police had been indicted.
It's police force had fallen under grave
suspicion. Other departments Of the
government had become corrupt. Min
neapolis had been advertised the world

Mr.. Jones had been acting mayor in

ssANDREW RYKMAN'S PRAYER

Let the lowliest task be mine,
Grateful, so the work be thine;
Let me find the humblest place
In the shadow of thy grace;
Blest to me were any spot
Where temptation whispers not.
If there be some weaker one,
Give me strength to help him On;
If binder soul there be,
Let me guide him nearer thee.
Make my mortal dreams come true
With the work I fain would do;
Clothe with life the weak intent,
Let me find in thy employ
Peace that dearer is than joy.
Out Of self to love be led.
: And to Heaven .acclimated,
Until all things sweet and good
Seem my natural habitude.
o
Thus did Andrew Rykman pray;
Are we wiser, better grown,
That we may not, in our day,
Make this prayer our own?
