KIND WORDS WELL DESERVED
MapIeton Enterprise Speaks In High
Terms Of Judge Hughes.

NIapleton Enterprise: Judge w. f
Hughes of Mankato, paid Mapleton a
visit Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Hughes
has made one of the best probate
court Judges this county has ever had
and during the years he has held the
office his decisions have in every in
stance, when appealed from, have been
upheld by the higher court. The of
flee is one in which it is advisable
to make as few changes as possible
owing to the fact that the work of
the office is never finished. Probate
cases continue unsettled for years
waiting for minor heirs to become
of age, etc, for this reason the more
familiar an official becomes with the
duties of the office and the cases
under consideration, the better for
those who have business to transact
therein We have known Mr.. Hughes
for years and his standing in the legal
profession of the best. While Ma
pleton is in way interested in Mr.
Hughs' opponent, Victor Tenney, who
was born and brought up in this To-
cality, there are few who believe
that it is wise to change on the basis
of friendship. Elsewhere we give space
to an announcement of Mr.. Tenney's
candidacy taken from the Mankato
Review. Those of his old friends
who desire to vote for him on the
score of old acquaintance have per
feet right to do so, but all should re-
member that it is an important office
one wherein the soundest judgment
should prevail. 1t is the probate
Judge who decides upon insanity cases;
the sale of property of minor heirs
and orphans.

CLOSE CALL FROM DEATH
NINE YEAR OLD BOY 6URlED IN
CAVE IN NORTH MANkATO.
Younger Brother Gave the Alarm, and
Rescue Followed; Men With
ShoveIs Relieve Lad.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Wells, the nine year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. f. NJ. Stewart of North Man
kato, had very narrow escape from
death last week, by being buried under
a cave of earth; and that he did
not succumb was due to the efforts
of his little brother, John, aged four
and a half years, who succeeded in
getting him rescued quickly.
The two boys were playing in a clay
pit in North Mankato, in the sand that
underlies the clay While so engaged,
the clay caved down, and buried Wells
under three feet of dirt. The little
brother was Mortified and seemed to
realize that something must be done
quickly, so instead of running home,
six blocks off, he fastened to the
brick yard, block and half away,
to give the alarm. He was crying,
and the first man could not under
stand him very well, but the atten-
ton of Benny Bennett was attract
ed, and when the little boy repeated
that his brother was sin the cave" he
comprehended and quickly calling to
some of the men to follow with shoveIs,
he pisked the lad up and ran to wherl
the child pointed out the place where
the earth had caved off, saying that
his brother was under the dirt. -.
The men dug with shovels until
they came to the form of the boy
and then they used their hands. The
boy was taken out still and uncon-
scious, and it was thought that he
was dead. He was carried to we'll
and the dirt washed from his nostrils
and mouth, and to efforts were made
TO recussitate him and wee soon sue
cessful. The boy mas recovered nicely.
He owes his life to the quick wit and
action of his younger brother. and
OF Benny Bennett.

HAS A WEATHER HUNCH
IOWA MAN PREDICTS THAT Sc
WE'RE WINTER is QUE.
Says the Corn Husks This Year Are
Heavier Than Ever, Birds Are
Flying Southwark.

Lake City, Ia, Oct. 9.-Rufus Ham
lin an eccentric old man who says
he is the oldest man in northwest
Iowa, from point of actual settle
ment, has always been the weather
vane for this locality, and has his
prediction for the kind of weather
Iowa and the sister states will have
this winter is interesting as well as
"true"
He says the winter will be one OF
the severest for many years and snow
will drift higher than the fence posts
all over the state and many of the
rivers will freeze to the bottoms of
their courses. The husks of the corn
this year are heavier than for years.
Already water birds are seeking the
southern cline and song birds have
left in hurry this year instead of
lingering here and there. Up in the
lakes of this county the muskrats are
building their homes full three times
as large as we are accustomed to see
them.
This was an infallible sign to the
earlier settlers. Many black walnuts
grow along the rivers in Iowa and in
this part of the state the shell is
very thick this year. Squirrels are
busy storing up nuts and recently
Mr.. Hamlin unearthed squirrels
cache of nuts to find that he had
nearly bushel buried in hollow
log. The log was sufficiently high
to insure it remaining above the
drifts of snow that will surely cover
this region this winter. There will be
a white Thanksgiving and CORES
poning white Christmas and sleighing
will be in vogue until the first part
of March the coming year.
Next spring look out for floods
from the melting of snow and ice, Mr..
Hamlin says: "Take on old mans add
vice and tell your neighbors to build
extra warm shelters for their live
stock"

CAN'T DECEIVE THE Cop.
WHAT is CLAIMED BY THE VOTE
IN PRIMARY.
But There's Nothing To IL, Mr.. Nc
Cieary Is Sure to Win; the De-
tails Worked.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
STOPPING to the absurd and ridicu-
lous to further the interests of the
Hammond congressional candidacy, or
rather to injure the candidacy of
James L. McCleary, the republican
nominee, few democratic editors in
the district are giving space to an
article finding fault with Mr.. McCleary
because of the size of the primary vote
he received.
They would have him withdraw from
the race perhaps because this year
with three candidates in the field he
received smaller number of votes
than two years ago when there were
but two contestants for the republi-
can nomination.
The article is of nature that might
possibly mislead some voters and is
therefore deserving of an explanation.
In a table giving the primary vote
by counties it is shown that the totals
were as follows: Ewert, 1866; Gut
tersen, 6,023; McCleary, 7949. Another
table has been figured combining the
vote for both Ewert and Guttersen to
compare it with that received by Nc
Cleary. Figures are juggled in an odd
fashion.
The fact is that two years ago Mr..
McCleary's majority at. the primaries
was only 1928 while this year he re-
ceived a plurality of l,926-all of
which is pretty good evidence that the
people are again with him and will
send him back to congress with one
of the old-time big majorities next
month.
1t should be remembered that these
are republican votes cast by citizens
among whom the republican candidacy
of James T. McCleary stands far above
that of Mr.. Hammond which is based
principally upon popular personalities
and glittering generalities.

SLATER'SJOB is SOUGHT
CENTRAL CREAMERY MEN ASK
TO BE CONSIDERED.
They Appeal to Governor johnson,
Request Him to Be Careful Who
He Appoints.

ST. Paul, Oct. Choking to the
future, the central creameries of the
state sent deputation of about twenty
members to wait upon Governor John
A. Johnson to bespeak his favorable
consideration of their interests in the
of the dairy and food department.
Edward X. Slater, the present COM
missioner, is understood to have ac-
cepted position as assistant profess
sor of dairy and husbandry in the
agricultural college of the University
of Minnesota, and it is said that he
will be located there after the be-
ginning of the year.
If Governor johnson is to appoint
a successor to Mr.. Slater, the cen
trail creameries would like the APP
pointment to be of such nature
that the dairy and food commission
would be apt to maintain a friendly
attitude toward the creameries, a con-
dition of things which, they say, has
not existed for some time.
1t is known now that the dairy
and food commission has in the hands
of the printer statement for the
use of the interstate commission,
showing that the central creameries
pay so much less for cream at the
small places where there is no compe-
tition, that they are enabled to I'M
derbid the local creameries at points
where keen competition exists, thus
obtaining great advantage in the
market.
The following were among the
spokesman for the delegation: Thorn
as Milton, st. Paul: R. E. Cobb, and
C. L. Bridgeman, Duluth.
Governor Johnson replied that where
grievances existed, he was pleased to
be able to hear all sides of the ques-
ton, and that he would give the mat
ter his consideration.

Excitement in Political Circles;
Await the Publicity.
SINEWS OF WAR FOR BATTLE
Democratic Fund Is Said to BE Grow.
ing to Large Proportions; Hid.
der Has the IN on.''
Especial to The Free Press.1

New York. Oct. l4.-There is sub
dued excitement in political circles to-
day in anticipation of the publication
tomorrow of the first campaign fund
report of the remocratic national COM
mittee All names of contributors and
amounts given will be made public
tomorrow, according to National Trea-
surer Herman Ridder. 1t is also
stated that all sums received after to-
morrow, up to the close of the cam
paign, will be published daily. This
will be the first time in the history of
the republic that either of the big par
ties has taken the public into its con-
fidence in regard to the source and
amount of the funds secured for carry
ing on a national campaign, although
the Socialists and other minor parties
have done So
Mr. Ridder declares that while there
has been something of a financial
stringency at democratic national
headquarters, the prospects are now
growing brighter and the fund is daily
growing in volume. The German edi-
tor who succeeded Haskell as treasurer
has more than made good, according
to his colleagues, and it is declared
that he is rapidly educting the "com
mon people" to the knowledge that
this is their campaign and that they
must supply the sinews of war.
The national treasurer declares that
he has implicitly obeyed Mr.. Bryan's
instructions in refusing contributions
from favor seeking trusts and corpo-
rations, and that no contribution has
been accepted from any person who
seeks favors in return.
An attempt has been made by the
newspapers of William Randolph
Hearst to Great the impression that
Bryan's promise to make public all
campaign contributions tomorrow gives
immunity afterwards, and that after
tomorrow's report the lid will be
put down. Thomas F. Ryan, Aug
ust Belmont and Anthony n. Brady
are named by Mr.. Hearst as some of
the trust magnates who are willing
and anxious to contribute to the demo-
cratic campaign fund and will be al
lowed to do so. This statement is de-
MED at democratic headquarters, and
it is declared that the publicity pro-
gram will be carried out fully and in
good faith until the campaign has
closed.
