1t may be all right to call some
ministers liars, but it is just as
we'll to choose your minister with
care, as Mayor Pat Murphy, of
North St. Paul, found out last
night,
Yesterday was election day in
North St. Paul, and Mayor Muir
ply, who was elected on a reform
ticket, refrigerated some, The
saloons were wide open all day,
and the lodging house vote made
it just like Chicago. afIa
Mayor Murphy probably will
be reelected, but, if election day
signs are any indication, reform
will be the scarcest thing around
North St. Paul during his next
term. r
These things greatly troubled
the soul of the Rev. Martin w.
Kinney, leader of the reform
forces. He decided to reproach
Mayor Murphy. 57s
The Rev. Kinney is mild
hammered, peace-loving, kindly
man. He looks just what he is
a minister, and he stands about S
feet, 8 inches, and is of medium
build.
The Rev. Kinney met Mayor
Murphy, who is about 5 feet;S10
inches, and of slight build, in
front of the postoffice last night,
just after the polls had closed.
"You are wicked man, Mayor
Murphy" said the minister. "You
have permitted the saloons to re-
main open during election, which
is illegal and immoral. I think

held in Columbia, s. c., Jan. 9th to
Feb. Sth, 1913 The four previous ex-
positions were held in the Northern

Judgement of the fact that the South

to meet in the South for the holding of
a great national agricultural exposi-
ton.
Those who are familiar with the
past history of this movement and
what it stands for in its relation to
agricultural education and develop

mere corn show The competitive ex-
hibits of corn, other grains and grass

States department of agriculture.
These exhibits will depict in graphic

lutely all their prerogatives and sur
rendering unconditionally to circum-
stances of a new era, the Manchus

taneous edicts, the first announcing
abdication; the second declaring thar

ditions which would safeguard many
of their privileges, but according to
the proclamation their surrender IS
unconditional.

retirement of the throne from, politi-
cal power and instructed them to con-
tinue doing their duty and to pre-
serve order throughout the land.

Yesterdays developments in a DO

will be a hot contest inaugurated for
the position of judge of the City
court, as Mr.. W. W. Dykes in today's
issue of The Times-Recorder makes
his formal announcement for that DO
sition. AS Mr.. w. M. Harper has al
ready announced for the judgeship,
there will be at least two candidates
in the field.
Mr.. Dykes is a prominent member
of the local bar having practiced law
here for several years and gained a
wide reputation as an attorney. He
represented Sumter county one term
in the lower house of the legislature
He is well equipped to serve the coun-
ty as judge of the City court, if that
honor is conferred upon him, as he is
a man of thorough preparation for
the duties of the Office and one who is
of splendid judicial poise.
Though he hesitated some time be-
fore entering the race, Mr.. Dykes, now
that he has made formal announce
ment of his candidacy, for the office
will wage vigorous campaign for the
judgeship. He is well known in Amer
icus and Sumter county, and his en-
trance into the race will mark the
beginning of lively race for the hon
ors of the judgeship.

sition of county commissioner made
