POLITICAL
To The Voters of Mower County

Editor of Transcript
The primary election is now near at
hand and the candidates are now pop
ping out fast ASH understand it four
candidates are already announced for
Representative in the south district,
and three in the north district, and per i,
haps there are more to follow, so there
is an abundant crop OF representative !
candidates in Mower County and the !
south district seems to be the most |
prolific of this precious commodity.
But not any of them seem to have the |
back bone, courage and vitality to pub |
licly declare their politics on any OF
the vital political questions that the
people of Minnesota are interested in
at this time. AS yet we don't know
where we have got them, nor what
they are going to do in the Legislative
assembly in Minnesota. This shows a
weakness and cowardice which does
not merit the confidence of the people.
Are the people of Mower County going
to vote blindfolded on this most i'm
portant office? With so many candid:
ates in the south district scrambling
for the Office see no use in entering
the race, as the "interests" are then
sure to have the upper hand in the
game. The mostimrOrtant issue before
the people Of Minnesota now is the
County Option question. There are
other important matters Of progress
and reform that need the close atten.

the most important and should be TAX

PROHIBITION
IS CARRIED
There were Many Surprises ia
Tuesdays Election.
OVER 10000

Wake, Durham, and Johnston
Counties-Returns Very Incom-
plete.
State prohibition was carried in
Tuesday election. The majority can
not be stated at this time-Wednes-
day-as the returns are not COM
plete. The returns from the towns
of the State show a majority of about
10000, but when the returns are all
in from the rural districts it is
thought that the majority will not be
SO great, probably about 10000;
however, that is impossible to esti-
mate. The interest centered chiefly
in the result in Rowan, New Han
over, Forsyth, Wake, Durham, and
Johnston. Rowan went dry by about
500, New Hanover went "wet" about
200 majority, Forsyth went dry by
over 1000 majority, Wake voted
wet" by about $50 majority, and
Raleigh went wet by II votes, Dur
ham went "wet" about 625 and John
ston voted "wet" by over 1900 ma
jority.
We will not give the vote by coun
ties as only sixty-eight have beer
heard from and the returns from
these are not complete. The election
was very quiet and orderly all ovel

The engagement OF THE Squaw
Man" at the Thatcher Opera House
next Wednesday, with Dustin Farnum
10 the title role, may very properly be
regarded as one OF the dramatic events
OF the season. 1.-The Squaw Man" is
a novel play, interesting, humorous
and thrilling. it deals with the ad.
ventures OF an Englishman on the
western plains and introduces large
number Of characters. The play Is
lavishly mounted, and the scenic in.
vestiture Is absolutely correct, thus
giving TO the play the required atmos.
phere. In the first act, which shows
the English c)uptry home, one almost
scents the heather. treads the close.
cropped lawns and revels In the snug
healthiness OF the place. In strong
contrast are the scenes shown 10 the
second act. where the transfer Is
made to the western plains, To the
water.tank, cattle.shipping station or

Wyoming, to which locality the herr
