New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-11-07

slide to John A. j OhnSOn Tor governor
of this state, and it would seem that
the people think he is all right and no
mistake about it. His majority will be
more than twenty-five thousand,
figure that is far in excess of the most
sanguine expectations of his friends.
When the returns are all in it will
be seen that Mr.. johnson will have a
majority that will exceed his majority
of two years ago. It is good thing
and the people of the state are to be
congratulated on the decision they
have made, not that Mr.. Cole was not
a good man or that he would not have
made good governor, but having
given the Office to Mr.. johnson as a
regroof to the ruling party it was no
more than just out of compliment to
the excellent record he has made ne
should be allowed to serve a second
term.
In local politics there will be no
change in the Office of county auditor,
and there was never any reason TO BE-
lieye that there would be. Mr.. Vogel
has handled the affairs of the county
satisfactorily for number OF years,
his ability has never been questioned
and the people of the county regard
less of parties will be pleased to meet
him for the next two years in the Of
fee Of auditor.
TO all intents and purposes yester-
day was an ideal election day. The
morning was fair and warm and there
was every opportunity for those to get
to the polls who would be kept from
voting by a disagreeable day. Rain
commenced to fall in the afternoon,
making it impossible for threshing
crews to work and so giving them an
opportunity to get to the polls to vote.
The returns for this part of the state
show that large number of the voters
exercised their rights.
There is every indication at this time
that Mr.. Hammond has been elected
over Mr.. McCleary by margin of
nearly 1000 votes. 1t is not only a
surprise to him but to the supporters
of Mr.. McCleary as we'll. There was
a belief on the part of the McCleary
men that Mr.. Hammond would cut
down the vote very materially, but
there was no real conception that
democrat would be elected in this
strong republican district
The defeat of John Larson for the
Office of clerk of court is one OF the
surprises of the election and one that
was not even considered. 1t looks now
as though L. G.. Vogel would be the
only remaining officer of those whose
terms have extended over more than
two elections, and seems to give Gre
dence to the idea that the people OF
the county are opposed to the long
term proposition.
The slowness of the reporting Of the
returns has hindered greatly in getting
figures that would be definite enough
to judge accurately the condition of
affairs and the table that is given here
is made up from reports that are only
more or less approximate.
It will be seen by the incomplete
figures returned so far that Brown
county has given Albert Steinhauser
a good vote for Judge and the returns
from the district indicate the election
of 1. M. Olsen by small plurality.
Johnson carries Brown county by
about 1900 and Hammond carries the
county by about 500 and the district
by about 1000 a remarkable circum-
stance.
The election in Minneapolis is in
doubt, both men claiming the election
which will only be determined by a
complete and official count.
New York goes for Hughes FOL
governor by about $4,000 insuring the
comp lete defeat of Mr.. Hearst.
Three men on the county ticket be-
sides the two county commissioners
had no opposition, they are George
Book, John Cutting and DR.. Bayley
While the Offices of coroner and sur
veyor are exceedingly important ones
the pay attached to them is not suff
cient to attract candidates, and party
principle is largely influenced by the
amount of the salary attached to the
Office that is up for consideration, sc
we have in the Office of the coroner {
democrat and in that of the surveyor
republican.
John Cutting, the new as we'll as thu
old superintendent of schools, seem!
to be a man especially fitted for tn.
place. He is a constant student of tn,
needs of his offcesand is continual,
on the outlook for those things tina
