ticient to bring out reasonably larp
vote.
Cobb is one of the very solid coun
ties of the solid South, and, Judged h,
Tuesdays vote, change in the senti
meat of her people need not be expect
ed at any time in the near future.
Even with the most favorable wealth
er conditions prevailing, the great body
of voters did not go to the polls. 1
entirely convenient, they went; if not
they remained away.

The election in other parts of the ma

interest, however. The returns from

There is an estimated gain of 81 votes

From Tuesdays Daily.
President Palmer OF the charter com.
mission this morning presented the
new charter 10 Mayor Meyer, as re-
quired by law. The charter, as stated
! by The Free Press yesterday, has been
signed by every one OF the fifteen
commissioners. The law requires that
the council shall call special election
within ninety days, for the submission
of the new charter to a vote OF the
people.
Special Meeting of Council
Mayor Meyer expects to call a spe-
cial meeting of 5he council some even.
ing the latter part of the week to re-
oeive the report of the board of public
works on the Second and Main street
paving matter under order No. /, and
at that meeting will probably bring up
the matter of the new charter, and
will no doubt recommend that the
election be called TO take place in
about thirty days. He is not in favor
of putting it off until the end of the
ninety days, but would like to see
the election held in time so that the
now administration can take effect
before the seasons work gets too far
advanced. He looks upon it as fore
gone conclusion that the new charter
will carry, as many CT the objections.
able features of the one submitted
last fall have been eliminated or modi-
fled, and many who were opposed to
the other will favor this one.
Has Made Investigations.
The charter commission has paid par.
ticular attention to the result of the
commission system in other cities where
it has been adopted, and has made
thorough and DISTINGUISHED investiga-
tons, because it has been DESTROYS
of getting the very best charter posi-.
bic for Mankato. 1t has everywhere
found that very general satisfaction
prevails with the new system in all
the cities where It has been tried, and
that the great majority of the citi-
zcns would not go back to the old sys-
tenn under any circumstances. The COM
mission plan has been tried out and
proved to be the best form of city
government yet devised.

1t is re9retable that the village of
Eagle Lake has not done anything to
improve the road through the village,
which is about the worst part of the
