Herbert p. Keller enjoys the dis
tinction OF being the first native-bor
mayor OF st. Paul, Minnesota's capital
city; also of being the youngest man
elected chief magistrate in the city's
history. He just passed IS years

Previous to his election as mayor,
Herb Keller, as he is Familiarity
known, served six years as member
Of the assembly, where he made such
a record, although always in the min

lican rarty's unanimous candidate fer
the city's chief executive. And that
his party made no mistake in its
choice was proven beyond doubt when
he rolled up a majority of more than
5000, the largest majority ever given
a successful candidate for mayor OF
ST.. Paul.
Mayor Keller had pledged himself
in the campaign to fight to eliminate
municipal extravaganza and to lower
the taxes.
He fought for two years for lower
gas and electric rates, and finally won
out last spring, when the public serv-
ice corporations put lower rates into
effect. But Mayor Keller did not let
the fight end there-he wasn't salts
fed with the reductions as finally
compromised on, hence the investiga-.

experts to determine the physical val

a generation. Born in Bristol, Wis,
November 26, 1852, Mr.. Farnsworth

Long Probate Judge Without Fear
and Without Reproach.

Hon. r. w. Bazille has been judge
of the Ramsey county probate court
for the last fifteen years, having been
first elevated to that position in
1898. His record on the bench is
without a blemish OF any kind, and
he has shown himself to be broadly
wise and learned on the subject of
testamentary law, one Of the most
intricate and exacting branches of
legal acumen and practice. He is
particularly we'll qualified for the
position he holds, and this is we'll
known throughout the county. The
people believe in his ability and en-
tire uprightness, as is amply shown
by his repeated elections to the bench
Of the probate court, and in no re-
spect has he ever belied, in his Of
fetal conduct, the general estimate
of his capacity, high character and
absolute fairness.
