the position he seeks at the hands of
the voters.
For treasurer the Republicans have
in the person of G. F. Talmadge can
didate of exceptional ability. At pres
ent merchant of Newport, he was for
many years previous to coming here the
holder of responsible positions as an
accountant. He would bring to the
office knowledge of bookkeeping and
experience in business such as IS needed
by the official who is called upon to
handle the $2OO,OO yearly raised by
taxation in this county.
For commissioner of the First district
the candidate is c. A. Fielder, of New
port. Mr.. Fielder is one of the best
known men of the county, having re-
sided here for more than twelve years,
and has had intimate business relations
with people in all parts of the county.
He is thoroughly acquainted with the
needs of the county, and takes an active
interest in the building and maintenance
of bridges and roads.
R. Greenhalgh, of Usk, is the candi-
date for the commissionership of the
Second district. He is engaged in the
hardware business at Usk, and is man
of mature business judgment. Previous
to coming to this county he had expert
ence in county government, serving as
a county commissioner in Wisconsin.
For the northern district of the coun-
ty the candidate is o. L. Carmichael,
of Metaline. Mr.. Carmichael is a
farmer and stock raiser and has made
success of the business. He is not as
we'll acquainted in the rest of the coun-
ty, but the splendid vote given him by
the people of that section is a good rec
ommendation to the rest of us.
In the matter of commissioner the
voters should remember that they should
vo4e on all three. At the primary the
commissioners are nominated by dis
tricts, but at the general election they
are voted on by the whole county.

SAVOFF is THE HERO.
Hun Out Plans and NIaneuvers Turks
Most Brilliant Chief.

London Nov 1.-Out of the con-
fusion and stress of battle there arises
the name of a new military hero who
deserves to rank with the highest, Saw
off, the Hun is the man. Nazim Pasha,
brilliant minister of war for Turkey,
dashing soldier, inspiring leader, the
one man in all Turkey who was de-
pended upon in the crisis, has met his
match. BY skilfuI generalship Savoff
has complteIy outmaneuvered the man
who promised the Sultan that he would
win or die, but who is now reported a
captive in the Bulgarian camp.
But the craft of SaVom is coming to
light The great Bulgarian turning
movement along the Black sea was but
a feint intended to induce the Turkish
commander to throw his main army to
the eastward as he did and because he
fell into the trap and met with but an
inconsiderable force of Bulgarians, he
reported to Constantinople that his sit
uation was favorable.
And all the while Savoff was at work
on the west, or left wing ofthe Turks ish
army At the appropriate moment he
hurled all his strength against the
Turks whom he crushed at LuIe Bur
gas.
All is now confusion up there in
Thrace. Fighting of the most stubborn
character occurred all along the battle
front of forty miles, day and night,
without intermission and with heavy
losses on both sides, and is still in pro-
gress. But the advantage is all with the
allies. The capture of Nazim Pasha's
headquarters at Tchorlu. to which town
the Turks have retreated, has not yet
been reported but it is hourly expected.
In that case the Turks will be driven
back within the defensive lines of
Tchatalje, the only remaining fortified
position protecting Constantinople
which lies but 25 miles to the south
west. In the circumstances it seems
that nothing but peace or Intervention
will prevent the allies from tearing
down the crescent and breaking out
the cross on the sumit of St Sophia.
Turkey is at a standstill so far as re-
are concerned also. All
the troops possible and safe to be with
drawn from Asia Minor have been
brought to Europe

quests from Topekans for municipal
electric lighting and power. The city
maintains an electric light plant for
street lamps but not for private use

the city the right to furnish electricity
for power in the day time. 1t failed.
The city soon will install a high
pressure unit at the waterworks plant
for the lighting of the plant. Wires
will be strung to Gage park. Residents

for electric lights and they have asked
the commissioners for permission to

sCHMAHL VOTES HERE
Secretary of State Comes To
Home Town On Primary
Election Day

Julius A. Schmahl, secretary of
state came to Redwood Falls early
Tuesday morning to cast his vote at
the primaries in the second ward.
Mr.. Schmahl had intended coming
out yesterday but found it impossible
to get away from the Office.
He returned on the noon train on
the M. & st. l.. as he is in charge of
the press bureau for the twin city
papers tonight. All returns go di-
rect to his office and from there he
gives them to the press.
Mr.. Schmahl was confident of
nomination by very large majority
over the two opponents.
AS Mr.. Schmahl called for his bal
lot Judge A. G.. Dolliff challenged
his right to vote in Redwood. The
secretary was prepared for the en-
Urgency and at once produced a let
ter from the attorney general in
which that official rules that state
officials do not lose their residence
by reason of living at the state cap
itol. The challenge was purely
friendly and was made for the pur-
pose of settling the question which
was raised last winter.
