that justice was done and to see the
third party movement through.
"Jake" as chairman was the same
old "Jake" enthused by new ideas.
He made the rafters ring and evoked
tremendous enthusiasm in his speech
of acceptance. The old war horse was
at his best. Atone point, when OBJ
lection was made to a speaker who
wanted the floor, "Jake" ruled him
in order and shouted: ''The gentle
man has the floor there amt going
to be any steam roller methods here"
And they cheered him to the echo.
w. T. Coe, the La Toilette leader,
stirred the audience in ringing
speech in which he announced that
the La Toilette men in Minnesota
would never vote for Taft, but that
they would line up solidly behind
Roosevelt, and the new party AS
manager for Jas. Peterson, senatorial
candidate, he practically pledged Mr.
Peterson's allegiance to Roosevelt.
Mr.. Coe was chosen presidential
elector.

THE NARROW WAY
Roy Johnson, Alias HSChutzlc"
Dietrich, Must Walk Thereia
so SAYS The COURT
Sentenced to Ref0rmatory Bat Civ
en- Liberty Provided Be Behaves
Himself Hereafter

In order to maintain his standing
as a good citizen, Roy Johnson, other
wise known as "Schutzie" Dietrich.
will be compelled, for some time at
least,t tread the straight and narrow
way So says the court, and the court
means what it says.
Friday evening, June I, 1912, John
son entered the house of Henry Deters
in this city, stole watch and some
money and made his escape. He Was
arrested the following morning and
placed in the city lookup. Upon being
arranged in municipal court be at
tempted, unsuccessfully, to prove an
alibi. The evidence was so strong
against Johnson that Judge Dean
remanded him to the county Jail there
to await the action of the grand.
Thursday afternoon, July Is, john
son appeared before Judge NJ. D. Tay-
lor in the district court at st. Cloud
and entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of grand larceny in the second
degree, which had been preferred
against him. The st. Cloud Times
gives the following account of thu
trial.
." j. E. jerks appointed to defend
the young man, presented to tho
court facts showing that the defend
ant had never enjoyed the cares of
mother or father and had suffered
thereby. While intoxicated he en-
tered a house and took small hank
and watch. He stated relatives in
this city had arranged for employ
ment of the young man ifa suspended
sentance was passed.
"The court sentenced Johnson to
the Reformotory but stayed execution
until the first day of the next regular
term of court. He was directed to
seek employment away from Sank
Centre and to fail to return to that
city. Further, Johnson was directed
to pay at least SO month toward
the support of his grandmotfef-wiGh
whom he has made his home. In adj
dition the court ordered that thu
young man refrain from the use of In
toxicating beverages and to ::avoid sa-
looms and pool halls"
While Johnson has had rathera tn
multuous and disorderly career, especi-
ally when living in Sank Centre, some
people feel that, having been deprived
of the care of mother and the COM
forts of good home, in one sense he
was more sinned against then SHINING
and that had circumstances been diff.
ferent he might have lived in mora
creditable manner. When confined
in the city lookup Johnson said that
drink had brought his trouble upon
him and that when he got through
with this scrape he proposed to let it
al one. Johnson's acquaintance h0pe
that his latest experience will result
in his reform.

The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1912-08-01

The Herald's big double contest is
lust starting and so far there has
been little or no active work done in
either district. Almost every girl on
the list is under the impression that
she stands no chance to win among
all the candidates who have been NOM
mated. Now, as matter of fact,
The Herald does not expect that more
than three or four girls in each dis
trict will take up the work and even
these few who would work are hest
tating because they imagine that a
great many girls are already working.
This is not the case and if you want
a high-grade piano free-Don't hest
tate.
80 START NOW
Now is the time to start. 1t is in
llesitating that you will lose. The
Herald is going to give away, absolute
iy free, some mighty fine prizes You
have as much right to win one of them
as any other girl in Stearns county.
Remember this! There are no strings
tied to any of The Herald prizes; the
two girls who get the highest number
of votes in their respective districts
will each receive $3.50 Cable Nelson
Piano absolutely free. All the other
girls will receive valuable prizes or 10
per cent of all the money they turn
in during the contest. Some girls are
going to get these pianos and you can
easily win one of them for yourself if
you start working hard now.
EASY WORK
The work connected with the con-
tests not hard, in fact it is easy,
pleasant work. All you have to do is
to ask The Herald's regular subscrib-
ers to pay up to 1913 and try to in
duce everyone who is not taking The
Herald to subscribe at once. You col
lect at the rate of $3.50 per year and
in this way are asking no favors of
any one as 1t would cost subscriber
more TO pay into this offices than it
would to pay candidate. You can
do great deal of work by writing
and phoning as we'll as by personal
solicitation.
DOUBLE DISTRICT
Don't forget that this contest is
double district one, with separate
and magnificent list of prizes for each
district. Girls in one district do not
h ave TO complete for prizes with girls
in the other district, but all the girls
can collect votes anywhere regardless
of the district in which she lives.
