New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-08-19

In Offering Capt Albert Pfaender as
a candidate for the legislature, the
democrats of the county have put for
ward one Of their strongest young
men. Energetic and Intelligent, a
good speaker and of pleasing appear
ance, moreover man of excellent ha-
bits, he is capable not only of making
an aggressive and telling campaign,
but of rejecting credit upon his con-
stituency in the event of his election.
The convention of Friday could
have gone further in it's search for a
candidate and not Jared half so we'll.
The Review welcomes the decision
of Andrew j. Eckstein to become a
candidate for reelection as a member
of the board of county commissioners.
Mr.. Eckstein ranks high among the
workers of the state along this line
and Brown county can indeed con-
slider itself fortunate in being per.
nitted to have to such an exacting ex.
tent and at such trivial cost the bene-
fit of his valuabl services.
On the home grounds Sunday after
noon the Autos defeated team from
Sleepy Eye in a game that was not
only closely contested but brilliantly
played, the final score being 2 to l.
Roland Neumann did the twirling for
the locals and Alvin was at the re-
ceiving end. Both played a good
game, in fact, everyone played with
all the ginger there was in them. The
Autos have a good record, having
lost but three games this season.

JOHNSON CANNOT Be FORCED
Under No Circumstances Will the
Governor Consent to Run for
Another Term
Even if Unanimously Nominated
He Would be Compelled
to Decline.

When Governor johnson returned
to St. Paul Monday, from one of his
profitable lecture tours, he Immediate
ly served notice on the democrats of
the state that if they ignore his wishes
and nominate him for third term he
will not hesitate to decline.
"Under absolutely no circumstances
will I accept" is the way he puts it,
and this too in spite of the fact that
Hennepin and score of other coun-
ties are determined that he should.
"What if the convention sees fit to
disregard your statement and nomi-
nate you anyway" he was asked.
''Then [ shall decline the nomina-
tion," he answered with an aggressive
tilt of the chin. 81 couldn't do other
wise without stultifying myself.
IT have expressed myself twice al
ready saying that ] was not and
would not be candidate. l meant it
then and l mean it now. 1t is out OF
the question for several reasons for me
to accept nomination. For one thing,
I don't believe in third term for ex-
ecutive officers and have said so on
many occasions. 1 have not changed
my mind, and cannot conceive of any
thing that would allow me to change.
II deplore the situation, and at the
same time appreciate the compliments
that have been paid me, and the great
obligation 1 am under to the demo-
cratic party and the independent re-
publicans who have twice elected me
to this Office, but my duty to myself, to
my party and to the state compels me
to say that I am not only not a candi.
date, but that I could not accept il

and association of Europe and is in
position through its agents and CORE
spondents to be Of great value to its
members in all the European entries.
Matters of shipments, triptych agree

TRACK MEET PLANNED
ABANDONED BY COLLEGES

Because of the late date set for the
big track meet which was to have been
held in Los Angeles this month under
the auspices of the A. A. u. the event
will not occur. Little interest has
been manifested by the local schools,
owing to a majority of the track men
now taking part in baseball and tennis,
now in full swing at the colleges.
Until the date was set SO late in
the season it seemed as If there would
be keen competition among the col
iege sprinters. owing to the fact that
many of the rival athletes of the diff
ferent schools were not able to meet
each other before on account of the
squabbles existing.
The men have not forgotten last
years meet, which was held late in
the season when the contests were en-
tered mostly by second class men and
so few of these that they had but
little trouble in taking medals which
they did not deserve.
Had the meet been held during the
track season it would probably have
been the best meet of the year, as the
rival colleges would have made siren
uous efforts to win from each other.

INJURED IN FREE RIDE;
NOW SEEKS DAMAGES
Asks $4,000 from Worcester Auto
Concern Declared Bankrupt Last
January-Broke Collar Bone
While on Jaunt

About the aueerest case on record
is now up for decision in a Massachu-
setts court. The plaintiff is a Worces-
ter man named Prev, and he claims
$4,000 damages from the Harrington
Auto Station No. J. a Worcester con-
Germ that was declared bankrupt last
January.
Prev was some time ago invited by
someone in the employ of the Harring-
ton Auto Station to take an automobile
ride. He accepted and an accident oc-
Cured, resulting in Prev being thrown
out and breaking his collarbone and
suffering other injuries. AS he had
got more than he bargained for Prev
decided that he would bring suit, but
the failure of the Harrington concern
nonplussed him. To all appearances
he could recover nothing from them.
but being a persevering man he looked
into the matter and discovered that the
concern held a policy In an accident
insurance company designed to cover
accidents of this kind. Consequently
Prev is bringing his suit with the idea
that he can eventually recover from
the accident company.

CAPTAIN H0BSON WILL
SPEAK IN Los ANGELES
Hero Of Merrimae and Exponent Of
Greater Navy Will Talk of
"America as the Peace.
maker

One of the greatest figures in modern
American history will soon be heard by
the people of Los Angeles. Capt. Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, congressman
from Alabama, hero, author, patriot
and brilliant lecturer has been induced
to come to this city under the auspices
OF the Spanish war veterans and man
agement of Intpresario Behymer and
will be given a reception that will be
just as warm as the entire Atlantic
fleet got week ago.
Hobson's career is an interesting
commentary on what a determined
man can accomplish. Not satisfied
with his history making deed while in
the navy, he has made place for
himself in congress which is truly
marvellous for so young a man. His
experience in the navy and his close
study of naval matters convinced him
that the only chance for the United
States supremacy and hope for main
tanning it lay in the enlargement of
our naval forces. He has been the
presidents warmest champion in the
demand for more Dreadnoughts in the
Pacific fleet and his constant defense
of the demand of the people of this
coast for more complete fortifications
and larger navy has earned him
their. gratitude and appreciation.
Hobson's subject. America the
Peace Maker Among the Nations"
is one which fires the imagination and
the patriotism of every American. 1t
is a grand subject presented by one
of the most magnetic and brilliant
speakers among our statesmen. The
date for this lecture is set for Monday
night, May IL, at Simpson auditorium.
1t is the last event of the New Univer-
sity course. The seat sale will open
May at Bartlett Music company.

HENRY FORD PR0PHESIES
THE DOOM OF THE HORSE
Automobile. Man Declares That In
Future Equine viii Be Rare AMI
mal--To Be Superseded by
Motor Power

Commenting on an article advertised
to appear in the May issue of Apple
tons magazine, Henry Ford, designer
of the famous Ford and president of
the Ford Motor company. asserts that
the automobile has already sounded
the death knell of the horse. and that
within generation the horse will be
regarded as curiosity, a rare animal,
in class with the buffalo.
Il say this with all seriousness, for
/ am convinced of it's truth. The horse
will be entirely superseded and, in
time. the species will become extinct.
From a sanitary standpoint, the horse
has no more right to be allowed to
travel in the streets of our cities than
has the COW or the sheep or the pig,
and just as surely as we now have
laws to prohibit that, so surely will 1t,
inside of ten years, be against the law
to drive a horse through those streets
At one time all animals had the free
dom of our streets, now only the horse.
II say ten years. but that is the out
side. l look for it in five, for already
considerable agitation has been started
and public sentiment Is commencing
to side against the horse and in favor
of humanity. Your health and
mine, the health of our chill
dren, is menaced daily, because we per-
NIT the horse on the paved thorough
fares of this city. The air we breathe
is laden with a dust which the horse
has contaminated, and fever and sick
ness abound where there should be
none.
And from a utility viewpoint. the
horse is doomed. There is nothing
that has been accomplished with the
aid of the horse that the automobile
cannot do more speedily and at lower
cost
For pleasure or for business, in
commercial life or in agricultural, the
lf-propelled vehicle is superseding
the horse and will continue to grow
in popularity and usefulness. Having
outlived its usefulness and disgusted
us by its filth, the doom of the horse
is FASTENED.
80 l say in our time We shall look
on the horse as a curiosity, an animal
only found in geological gardens and
here and there in private herds, like
the buffalo herds now owned by few

AND RAIN PROMISED
FOR LOS ANGELES SUNDAY
Storm Extends as Far North as
British Columbia - Not
Expected to Last
Long

Wind and rain are promised for Los
Angeles and vicinity by Weather Fore
caster Fuller of the local office of the
United States weather bureau, who has
charge of the office during Forecaster
A. b. Wollaber's temporary absence.
The present rain Fuller considers to
be out of the ordinary, and the prob
abilities are, judging from the past,
that the first week of the new month
will see this water wagon" exhausted.
The large storm centered over the
northeast extends from Northern Cali
fornia to the boundaries of British
Columbia. But since San Luis Obispo
had showers yesterday morning a Sun
day rain is likely for Los Angeles.

TURK WANTS CHANCE

REPRESENTATIVE PUTS UP BIG
FORFEIT
coord-DerelIi After Champion and
viii Make Trip Across Water
in Order to Be on
Hand

NEW YORK, April 27.-Coord-D
Ii, the wrestler, is attempting to force
Frank Gotch. and his manager, Antonio
Pierri, is keeping the wires hot with
cable messages to his representative
| i'll the United States, AL Lippe. in
structing him to make every reasonable
concession to Gotch If he will only con-
sent to meet the Turk.
Coord-Derelli is well thought of
abroad and by many experts is looked
upon as the worlds champion; indeed,
was so regarded even before Hacken-
schmidt's defeat. Lippe writes as fol-
lows:
Il have posted $1,000 as representative
of Antonio Pierri, the manager of
Coord-Derelli. the catch-as-catch-can
champion of the world, now and before
Hackenschmidt was driven out of the
Graeco- Roman style by Padoubny.
Hackenschmidt never was a champion
at the catch-as-catch-can style. He
took up this style of his own
accord to get away from the many
claimants of the GraecoRoman style
of whom he was afraid.
Mr.. Pierri proposes bringing Coord-
Derelli to this country. and he notified
me to post $1,000 on his behalf for
Coord-Derelli to wreste any of the
following men who claim to be catch
aS-catch-can WreStlers: Jenkins,
Gotch, Rogers. Beel, Farmer Burns,
Carl Pons or anybody in the states,
bar none.
Il saw in newspapers that Martin
Julian challenged Gotch on behalf of
Ernest Siegfried of Germany What
does this mean? Gotch is a catch-as
catch-can wrestler, while Siegfried is
Graeco-Roman wrestler. Gotch re-
fused Coord Derelli's challenge, saying
that he never heard of him, but that
when he toured the continent next
year he would take everybody on. Why
has he not given Siegfried the same
answer? He has to import the latter
from Germany, while Coord-Derelli |
will be here in the course of a month |
to force the American public to produce !
a man who can put his shoulders to |
the mat. CoordDerelll is the cham
pion of the world and is open to meet |
anybody in the world. He has no |
choice, but as Gotch is under the i'm
preston that he won the championship |
the latter is preferred"
