Minneapolis To Ramsey

Last week the Gazette published a
article calling for the creation of a
state road from Redwood Falls to
Minneapolis.
The business men of this city are
back of that movement. 1t is~right,
it is possible, it will be done.
The time to act is now. Rejuve-
nate your automobile club. Set its
officers to work. Call in the farm
ers who care and who don't. Get
them into the struggle. Call upon
the auto clubs Of the towns between
here and Minneapolis to get busy.
Let them go after their county com
missioners and see that they take
steps to designate the state road
through their respective counties.
Get in touch with the auto club Of
Minneapolis and let them start push
ing the project from that end.
Keep after it.
The road is needed. A good broad
highway leading down from Mime
apolis to Ramsey State Park.
There is no finer playground in
the state than the one at our doors
and it should be made accessible to
every one in the state.
Here is a project worth fighting
for, deserving your best efforts.
Determination will win and in a
year fine. we'll graveled road will
be ready for use between here and
Minneapolis.

made for calling the firefghters to-

MAYOR TANGLE
IS UNSETTLED
Lots Have Not Yet Been Cast
To Decide the Election
Tie
MFLGES TAXES OATH or OFFICE
Vote on Aldermen Canyassed
And New Members Take
Seats Tonight


Seats Tonight
The result of last weeks election
for mayor is still in doubt.
The provision of the city charter
calling for decision in case of tie
by the casting of lots is elastic as to
time and place leaving these matters
in the hands of the council. On the
old council and the new, at least I'M
til the mayorality question is settled
the no license people have major
lty and are in control of the situa-
ton.
Talk of a Mandamus
There is talk among the license
advocates of mandamusing the
council to force decision by draw
ing. No definite action along this
line has been taken.
Is Drawing Legal?
1t is understood that the question
of the legality of drawing has
been raised. 1t is claimed that the
state law provides that in cases of a
tie the election is to be decided by
drawing and that the law applies to
all offices even that of governor. If
this is true the legality of casting
lots in the present case could not be
questioned.
Claim Victory For NO-License
1t is understood that the no-li-
cense people are claiming a victory
on the ground that tie vote kills
license. They admit that strictly
speaking the law is not applicable to
the present case but contend that in
principle it is. The law saws, ac-
cording to rulings of attorneys gen.
eral. that in case Of tie no-license
wins. How much stress will be laid
upon this phase of the question it is
impossible to say.
Warm Time at Council MEETING
At meeting of the council Fri
day evening the vote was canvassed
and W. T. Wilcox and Johr Kuck
were declared elected. The council
then adjourned without taking any
action on the mayor question. This
caused storm of protest and con-
siderable strong language was used
and for a time it looked as though
serious trouble might result. In the
end all parties quieted down and the
council chambers were cleared with
out trouble.
Since then feeling has run high on
both sides but practically nothing
has been done.
Today J. H. Melges took the oath
of office and what effect this will
have on the situation is unknown.
