EDUCATORS OUT
FOR SUFFRAGE
State Association Goes On Record In
Annual Meeting In Favor OF
Votes For Women.

Minnesota educators went on record
at their meeting in st. Paul last week
in favor of womans suffrage.
Superintendent C. w. Street was
present and tacitly at least gives his
Endorsement to the solution. Speak
ing about it after his return he said:
II am not prepared to make any
positive statement about the question
of woman's suffrage but | am sure
that it is privilege which will be
granted to the women of this state
inside of ten years.
"Also there is no question in my
mind but the ballot will be given to
women as soon as they are at all
united in the demand for it. If they
really want the ballot they will get
it. l am not enthusiastic about the
movement but am sure the change is
coming"

things in life.
He Who Deserves Pity.

that has not the gumption to stand
up and fight for the things that stir
him and the things that are right, is
a fellow that deserves the pity of his
neighbors.
Thinks Every Man Has His Price.
Some people are under the inn
preston that every man has his price
and that he can be bought if the price
offered is sufficiently tempting" con-
tinued the speaker. Here he dwelt
upon men who barter their manhood
and character for gold and he con-
demned them vehemently.
The speaker brought his discourse
to close with an attack upon the
large employing Institutions who
east their workmen off after they
have given their lives to the best in
terests of their employers.
Brands This Practice A Crime.
at is dastardly crime, the way
some men are treated after they have
given all that they had to give, and
are then cast off in their old age"
He cited an incident that occurred
recently in the city, An old man who
had been in he employ of large COM
pany became i'll. The same week one
of the horses belonging to the same
firm took sick. The old mans sal
airy was stopped during the time it
was necessary for him to remain at
home while the animal was carefully
cared for.
There we're nearly fifty present at
the meeting. At the close of the lee
ture the Doctor expressed his appre-
citation of Redwood Falls likewise
commencing it as one of the incest
little cities in Minnesota.
Bouquet For Postmaster.
Mr.. Darrell, in clever little speech
congratulated A. E. King on his
birthday anniversary and presented
him with a bouquet of carnations on
behalf of the club.
At the business session the follow
ing club officers were elected:
H. ]. Bebermeyer, president; A. E.
King, secretary, pro tenn; executive

DIR. Fessenden of Minneapolis Gives
Address At First Meeting OF The
Mems Club.
WORK FOR LOVE OF WORK.
A. E. King Gets Flowers And Con-
CALCULATIONS On His Birthday
Anniversary.

Profound convictions on the part
of every man and woman is one of
the most important present day
needs" said DIR. T. w. Fessenden,
pastor of the Wesleyan church of Min
neapolis, in IA address given at the
first meeting of the Mems Club at
the methodist church Tuesday even
ing.
DR.. Fessenden came to Redwood in
response to a special request made by
Rev. N. de. NJ, Darrell, pastor of the
Methodist church.
In speaking further of some pres
ent day needs, the lecturer said that
in order for a man to succeed in his
chosen work he must love it and that
no one can attain the best that is in
him by working for mere pay alone
just Worked For Money.
As an example he cited an instance
where traveller who in passing a
building that was in course of con-
struction stopped to ask one of the
workman what he was working for.
The man replied: 1.-TWO dollars day."
He went to the next and got sim
liar answer but when he approached
the third, the laborer looked up at
his questioner and said, "as he pointed
to the almost finished structure, 81
am working to help build that stone
building"
How To Get The Best.
At this point the speaker applied
the moral drawn from the mans re-
mark to the average person who works
for wages, and said that a man who
can learn to love his work, not so
much from the standpoint of salary
as for the object in which he is labor

Grain Growers Association Also Ready
To Give $1,000 a year Toward
The Work.
BIG MEETING HERE IN JANUARY
President and Secretary of Western
Minnesota Association Coming
To Redwood This Winter.

Redwood county is in line to receive
$3.50 in cash from outside sources
to help pay part of the expense of
boosting the county.
The federal government will pay an
agricultural expert sos a month, the
state give $500 a year and the Nation
al Council of Grain Exchanges will
give $1,000 year.
What County Must Do.
To secure this the county must
raise $1,000 and guarantee to raise
$1,000 next year. An expert agricul-
turalist will be put in the field to assist
in bringing the standard of farm work
up to that attained in other counties.
Seven counties in this state, all
within the Seventh District are now
doing this kind of work and receiving
this aid.
Redwood Men Are Pleased.
At the meeting at Willmar last
week the scheme was outlined in full
and A. d. Stewart, Tom Whittet, H.
NJ Aune, Vollnar Finley and Grove
E. Wilson were present and listened
to the addresses. They came home
enthusiastically in favor of it.
Committee Now At Work.
A gathering of business men and
farmers was held at the Commercial
Club rooms yesterday morning and
the plan was considered as thoroughly
as possible. After considerable dis
cussion the following committee was
appointed to consult with A. D. Will
son of the extension department of
the state agricultural school and if
possible arrange for a man for this
county at once: A. D. Stewart, George
Phillips, A. D. Smith, Grove E. Wilson
and Herbert A. Baldwin.
Worth $50 An Acre.
According to the addresses made at
Willmar this is one of the richest
agricultural districts in the world, be-
ing especially rich in nitrogen, and
lacking only in potash which can be
put back into the soil by the proper
use of barn yard manure and manu-
featured fertilizer. Professor Crane
said that every acre of land here is
worth $3.50 which made Mr.. Stewart
realize that he is worth $4,000 more
than he thought he was.
Big Meeting For Redwood.
A big meeting like that held at
Willmar is being arranged for Red
wood Falls and doubtless will be held
here in January or February and will
be attended by delegates from all
parts of the district and officers of the
association. This will tend to put
Redwood on the map and will bring
to the local farmers much information
that they now have but don't appreci-
ate.

Porter. The judges decision was in
favor of Lucille Cain. Mrs. Van Dolah
presented the medal with some APP
propriate remarks. This was only one
of a series of contests which Mrs.
King expects to give this winter. This
line of work is highly recommended
as it interests the public in general
in the temperance cause.

Marshall Man Contests Election of
|. NJ. Olsen As Judge of The
Ninth District
EIGHT REASONS FOR APPEAL
Seward and Somsen Attorneys For
Olsen-Eberhart Must Appoint A
Special Judge

While holding the December term
of the Lyon county district court at
Marshall, l N. Olsen, judge of the
ninth judicial district was served
with notice of contest by He'll
man of Marshall, acting for Mar
vim E. Mathews, who was defeated
by Judge Olsen.
In his appeal for the decision of
the state canvassTng board Mr.. He'll
man sets forth eight separate allega-
tions the most important of which are
as follows: That over 200 ballots
voted for Mr.. Mathews in several of
the precincts of the district, all of
which were not counted for him, while
over 200 illegal votes We're cast for
Mr.. Olsen; that over 200 voters
failed to mark their ballots for either
of these candidates, but that their
votes were nevertheless counted for
Judge Olsen.
Marked The Ballots
That the same number of ballots
that were unmarked relative to the
Office of district judge were after
wards and without the consent of
the voters, marked and counted as
votes for Judge Olsen; that in several
of the election districts neither the
judges nor the clerks of election were
sworn as required by law, and that in
some of the districts the judges were
not citizens or legal voters within
the respective precincts.
Judges Left Polls
That at several precincts several of
the judges and clerks of election aband-
oned the polls and ballot boxes, and
that at one place all of the judges ex-
cept one were asleep while the bal
lots were being counted; that neither
the judges of election or any other
person authorized by law to do so, re-
turned the ballots to the county au-
ditors.
Olsen Retains Attorneys.
The appeal is taken for the purpose
of having the ballots cast at the cleo
ton re-examined and all illegal votes
set aside. Judge Olsen has retained
Henry n. Somsen of New Ulm, Geo.
T. Olsen of st. Peter and Virgil B.
Seward of Marshall as counsel, and
Governor Eberhart will no doubt be
asked to appoint a Judge to act in
place of Judge Olsen at the hearing
of the appeal
May Recount Votes.
Should the appeal be granted, the
judge will have to appoint three men
in each of the five counties in the dis
trict to recount the ballots and to de-
clare which of the two candidates has
received majority. The Judge will
also fix the amount of the bond which
Mr.. Mathews will have to furnish as
a guarantee that he will pay all costs
of the contest, providing he is not
successful.
Olsen Leads By 104.
The official vote, as reported by the
state canvassing board, was 6,483 for
Judge Olsen and 6,379 for Mr. Math-
ews, the formers majority being 1O4.
The counties comprising the district
are Redwood, Nicollet, Brown, Lin
coin and Lyon.

fist Church, in which the ministers de-
nounce the speeches OF the South Caro-
lima executive as vile and incendiary, -
and "cRlI upon the best citizens OF the

Of South Carolina, men who repudiate
the Constitution OF their country, out OF
places OF trust and influence"
The resolution was introduced by Rev.
NJ. w. d. Norman, d. D., LII. D., and
the conference represented a constituency
OF more than 5000. The assembled min
listers took occasion by means of the
resolutions to thank THE honorable gov
ernors there assembled for passing res
buttons mot only deprecating the un-
calIed-for and cowardly TRADE Of Gov.
Blease," but for advocating an impartial
trial for offenders against the law.
