The meeting was presided over by

good for him so long as he can make
money out of it. is not a desirable
citizen for any community.
Move To The Country
1 also wish to call your attention
to the policies recently adopted by
the Commercial Organization of the
Twin Cities regarding publicity and
advertising for a greater population.
This policy is to encourage people to
move to the country rather than to
the large cities.
Large Cities A Curse
"Our very large cities are really a
curse to our nation, the very poor
living alongside the very rich breeds
discomfort and incites to the mob,
and think we are all agreed that
people in the country are better off
physically. morally and financially,
and the hope of making this nation
a prosperous and peaceful one lies in
our ability to create movement
that will bring the people back to
the soil.
Should Appeal To Farmers
The Commercial clubs of the state
should cultivate the friendship of the
surrounding farmers. Have two or
three receptions year to which tie
farmers are invited. musical pro-
gram and a light lunch would be
sufficient. Through such gatherings
you would cement the friendship of
the farmers and the local business
men thereby increasing trade in
your community"

Mrs. LaIna Hayes Dies

Mrs. Lavina Hayes who formerly
lived here died at her home in Spo-
kane last week. Mrs. Hayes had
been in poor health for long time
but had kept cheerful and brave in
spite of her suffering and age, she
was 70 when the end came. Just
before the ast.illness she had visi-
tors and they all remarked upon her
brightness and apparent health.
Then came the sudden collapse which
resulted in death. She was an ex-
tremely popular old lady, ready at
all times to do a favor for a friend

KNAPP MAY BE IT
Rumored That Chisholm Rep.
resentative will Manage
Gordon Campaign

Will Cleon T. Knapp step in as
manager of the Sam Y. Gordon CUB
ernatorial campaign?
That is the rumor now circulating
through political circles.
James S. Arneson is the past and
present manager. But Jim has got
mixed up in a big western land deal
which has kept him out Of the state
most of the time for the past month.
No one in Minnesota is closer to
Mr.. Gordon than Knapp, who is the
ablest of the young politicians in the
state. Mr.. Gordon would make nc
mistake in making his lieutenant, his
manager.

DATES SET FOR
CONVENTIONS
First Will Gather on May 10
at the Armory In Mime
apolis
STATE TICKET NAMED JULY 2
County Conventions Will Be
Held on May Is and on
June Is
STATE TICKET NAMED JULY 2

Minnesota delegates to the Ma
tional convention of the Republican
party at Chicago June 18 and 10
will be chosen at the Republican
state convention at the Minneapolis
armory Thursday on May Is.
This throws the county delegate
conventions to the preceding Mon
day. May 13. The hoodoo number
doesn't scare the state central COM
mittee bit.
Districts Meet May Is
The district conventions will be
held on May Is, Wednesday, and the
elected delegates will go directly
from the district to the state con-
ventions.
The state nominating convention
will be held at the st. Paul auditor
ium July 2. This will throw the
caucuses to the 9th or 18th of June.
Time Bad for Redwood Farmers
1t is believed that the fever Incl
dent to the national campaign will
have abated by the first of July, so
Minnesota can act calmly.
The date for the delegate conven-
ton, May 16, is a little unfortunate
for Redwood county as the farmers
here will be right in the midst of
corn planting. However, h t
seemed about the best date avail
able and was adopted by-the central
committee without opposition.
Harold Pulls Off Coupe
1t has been decided that the con-
pressman at large shall be nominal
ed Immediately after the justices of
the state supreme court. This will
prevent a tangle and as it at present
looks as though Alvah Eastman will
have no opposition, and he should
have none, nothing can be gained
by delaying the nomination. Mr..
Harold Knutson is entitled to the
credit for this arrangement. By
the way. if anyone wants to grab
hold of real live wire he should lay
violent hands on Harold.

TWIN CITIES
Former President Makes Two
Brief Addresses Before Inn

HIS OVATION NOT SO MUCH
Entered Auditorium In Auto
mobile I. A. CasweIl Makes
Great Speech
HIS OVATION NOT SO MUCH

Theodore Roosevelt came and said.
The conquering part is with the fu-
ture.
Audiences aggregating "a. 900 peo-
pie heard him in st. Paul and Mime
apolis at two mammoth meetings.
His way into the cities from AL
bert Lea was one continuous ovation.
Certainly the crowds were not so
large as they would have been had
he come ass private citizen instead
of candidate, but as it was there
were enough people to satisfy any
reasonable man.
Drove In In An Auto
His entrance into the st. Paul aud
itorium was unique. The big doors
swung open and in dashed real live
auto out of which climbed the finest
specimen of former president in
captivity.
Teddy Grins AT Them
Then the audience stood up and
did some shouting. Teddy showed
his teeth in appreciation and Hugh
T. Halbert occupied about five min
utes of valuable time introducing /.
A. Caswell. Then it was that Mr..
Caswell took advantage of the OPP
portunity and made great speech.
He said:
CasweIl's Great Speech
1t is my pleasure to introduce
as the speaker of the evening, a
man whom you all know. Theodore
Roosevelt"
Which was exactly what should
have been said. though there are
few men big enough to have said it.
PrOnOunces An Epi9ram
Then there was more shouting and
the enunciation of several epigrams
by the Colonel the best of all being:
/ want to make my own mistakes.
Then l won't make the same mistake
twice"
After taking exactly an hour the
auto again chugged into the room
and Teddy was whisked away.
A Touch OF Disappointment
He hadn't spoken as long as peo-
pie expected and consequently left
unsaid good many things they ex-
pected to hear. He did say some
forceful things and was warmly ap-
plauded but it is certain his speech
was not entirely satisfactory.

of his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for governor at a public

petitions signed by various residents
of Hennepin, Grant, Stevens, Pope,

Mr.. Spooner said:

REDUCE THE
FIRE HAZARD
Waste Caused By Careless
Handling of Refuse Can be
Reduced

The following warning has beer
sent out by Asa M. Wallace. chief
assistant State Fire MARSHALL:
At this season of the year, Nature
is about to put on her most beauti
full garb. The people generally real.
ize the necessity of putting their
premises in order. The figures fur,
nished by fire statistics of 1911 en-
phaticaIly indicate the necessity OF
CLEANING UP. One hundred and
fifty thousand dollars would not
make good the fire loss in Minnesota
in 1911 caused by carelessness in con
nection with the annual cleanup.
This cleaning should extend from
cellar to garnet. from house to out
buildings. alleys and yards. The
chore boy may carelessly throw a
match or cigar or cigarette stub
into the rubbish surrounding barns
or in barns; the clerk may throw
either into the rubbish of the base
ment of business blocks where paper,
excelsior and other packing materials
are often allowed to accumulate; the
thoughtless passer-by may throw a
cigar or cigarette stub through the
grating in the sidewalk into the dust
and filth below. Perhaps we cannot
prevent the people from carelessly
throwing matches or cigars, but we
can prevent the accumulation of
combustible and inhammable mater
ials. if we will.
In this cleaning up of premises,
the attics should not be forgotten.
In them dust and spider webs accu-
mulate and all sorts of infammable
stuff is stored away.
Spring is the painting season and a
caution as to the handling and stor-
ing of rags used in wiping vanished
or oily surface or wiping paint from
the painters hands is timely. The
only safe place for such greasy rags
is in the stove. If kept for any
length of time to be used again, they
should be stored in a substantial,
covered iron receptacle.
Many fires are started each year
by the careless burning of the rub
bsh accumulated in yards and alleys
during the winter. The burning of
this rubbish is too often left to the
children, which annually not only
costs a large number of lives or SER
ious injury, but result in the total
destruction of many thousand. dol
lars of property.
City ana village authorities and
boards of health are requested to CO.
operate with the Minnesota State
Fire Marshal Department in reduc-
ing the annual loss caused by the
careless handling of refuse at this
season of the year.
Again we say, 'CLEAN UP"
