Have you voted yet?

This was the universal greeting
among the voters of the city today.
From early morning until the closing
of the polls at nine this evening, a
spirit of unrest seemed to have taken
possession of the men of Redwood
Falls.
The municipal election is always one
of the most interesting events of the
year, and the election of 1913 proved
equal to its predecessors in the matter
of interest.
The towns in the surrounding coun-
ties have been watching anxiously for
the outcome of the contest between
the license and no-license factions.
Few towns in the state elect city
officers under just the same conditions
here of great interest to the neighbor-
ing municipalities.
For various reasons the polling this
year was lighter than that in 1912.
The vote cast in the first ward lacked
about Is of the vote of last year, while
the second ward was short about 20.
However this did not materially effect
the total, as about the same number of
votes was lost by each party.
The total of the votes cast in the
first ward is 2O5; in the second ward
241.
The city officers for 1913 are:
Mayor-Julius A. Melges.
Alderman, 1st ward-J. w. Ferris

Counties Except Redwood
County
OLSEN LEADS BY EIGHTY VOTES
Judge Qyale Will Hold Final Hearing
At New Ulm, Thursday, jan
uary Ninth

With the recount completed in the
five counties of the Ninth judicial
district, Judge l. M. Olsen has
majority of 80 votes over his op-
ponent, NJ E. Mathews of Marshall.
He gained votes in three of the coun-
ties but lost heavily in Redwood.
The recount in Lyon county reduced
the majority for Mr.. Mathews by
eight votes. AS originally returned
the figures were: Mathews, 1841;
Olsen, 1923 No change was made
in the. vote for Judge Olsen, but
Mr.. Mathews lost eight, SO that the
corrected returns are: Mr.. Mathews,
1888; Judge Olsen, 1923.
In Lincoln county Judge Olsen
gained a vote and Mr.. Mathews lost
two, a net gain of three for the
former. The final result was: Judge
Olsen, 1926; Mr.. Mathews, 100.
At the general election the returns
from Redwood county had given Judge
Olsen 1884, and Mr.. Mathews 1417.
When the recount was made no ma
terial change was found until the spe-
cial inspectors reached Sheridan town.
ship There the precinct judges had
made a return which gave Judge Oh
sen 81, and Mr.. Mathews 35. 1t was
found that transposition had been
made in the figures and the recount
gave Mr.. Mathews 50, and Judge OIL
sen 35. This gave the Marshall law
yer thirty three votes, and he secured
} one additional in another precinct of
the county. The corrected returns

Bcanvassed the Nicollet county returns
last Monday, Mr.. Mathews making a
net gain of five ballots. At the gen.
Aeral election the vote was entered:
udge Olsen, 1929; Mr.. Mathews, 1929.
When the inspectors went over the
y,.Aots they found that errors had
,een made in six precincts. Judge OIL
sen gained a vote in Nicollet village,
4out lost one in North Mankato, West
Newton, first ward-St. Peter, and
second ward-St. Peter, net loss of
Athree Mr.. Mathews lost in the first
ward, but gained two in the second
ward, one in Lake Prairie and one in
West Newton, a net gain of two.
The totals were changed, therefore, to
1926 for Judge Olsen, and 1881 for Mr..
Mathews. This reduced the majority
of the former from 800 to 295.
The recount in Brown county was
made Tuesday, and it gave Judge
Olsen a net gain of four votes. His
total was increased from 1922 to 1925,
r'whiIeH that of Mr.. Mathews was re-
duced from 1900 to 1899. AS deter
mined by the recount the tabulated
vote for the district is as follows:

Burnquist Makes
All Appointments
Caucuses Monday Night Showed He
Had The Necessary
Strength
RINES WINS THE SPEAKERSHIP
Stormy Sessions of Different Parties
Showed Combines Against Lead
ers Were Weak
RINES WINS THE SPEAKERSHIP

Lieutenant Governor Burnquist will
name the committees of the senate and
Henry Rines will be speaker of the
house in the legislative session which
convenes today.
These facts were indicated beyond
the possibility of doubt by the caucus
es of the different parties in the house
and senate last night.
Senator Doxbury led the reaction
aries in their fight on committee ap-
pointments. The final caucus showed
forty-five senators were for the ap-
pointments being made by Lieutenant
Governor Burnquist, while sixteen
senators held the appointments should
be made from the floor of the senate.
Stormy Session of Democrats
Dissension among the Democrats,
which was demonstrated in stormy
session which lasted at the Saint Paul
hotel from 1880 o'clock until midnight,
indicated that sight of the promised
land was too much for the Democratic
senate members. While no vote was
taken, it was made clearly evident
that Senator c.. F. Cook, Moonan, j. D..
Sullivan, Ahmann, eastman and
Handlan were against, and Senators
Works, Poehler, Weis and Glotzbach
favored the proposition of naming the
hn
Senators Cheadle and Peterson were
absent, but are opposed to the PROPOSE
ton. Senator Van Hoven of st. Paul
indicated wavering disposition. SEN
ator Pauly and L'Herault of Mime
apolis favored the proposition of the
committee on committees.
Opposition Forces Welcomed
The senate Republicans caucused at
the Merchants hotel, with A. j. Rock
ne as chairman and Senator Benson
as secretary.
The Burnquist supporters received
the insurgent senators with open arms
and the important craftsmanship of the
committee on taxes was offered to one
of the Republican leaders of the Burn
quist opposition.
No Pie For Democrats
A resolution was passed giving one
employe to each Republican senator, a
resolution which bars the Democrats
entirely from the pie counter. No
salaries are to be raised during the
session. The salary of the secretary
to the lieutenant governor was raised
to $40 a day and he is to be allowed
the appointment of one messenger at
S5 per day and seven pages at So per
day.
The following slate for senate en-
ployes was agreed upon: Secretary,
George w. Peachey, Owatonna; ser
geant-at-arms, James Ege, Minneapo-
lis; assistant sergeants-at-arms, A. A.
Christensen, Murphy; chaplain, Rev.
Andrew D. Stowe, Minneapolis; en-
rolling clerk, N. Koel, Caledonia; in
dorsing clerk, Harry Nordholm, Red
Wing; clerk to judiciary committee,
w. H. Hodgman, Winnebago.

Mexico City, Nov. 4.-President
Huerta must resign the presidencyoS
Mexico without loss of time and
must not leave as his successor Cen
eral Aureliano Blanquet, his minister
of war, or any other member of his Oh
ficiaI family or of the unofficial CO.
terie whom he might be expected to
control.
The ultimatum from Washington
was conveyed to President Huerta
through his private secretary, Senior
Rabago. by Nelson O'Shaughnessey,
the American charge d'affaires, act
ing under instructions from the State
Department Sehor Rabago presented
the memorandum to his chief late
Sunday but up to last evening Presi-
dent Huerta had returned no answer, 4
and, as far as could be learned. had
guarded its contents from almost az
his official and intimate counsellors.
Those who learned of the Washing
ton note regarded General Huerta's po-
sition one in which he will be forced
to give one of two answers-refusai
point-blank to comply with the de-
mand, possibly going SO far as to hand
the diplomatic representative his pass
ports, or the elimination of himself
officially
Those most intimate with the Presi-
dent insist that the latter course Will
no be taken, for many reasons, chief
among which is that such action would
be tantamount to submission to the
rebels
Official Mexico is no longer in
doubt that the Washington administra-
tion favors the rebel cause, and is con-
vinced that this is the means adopted
by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
General Huerta summoned to the
national palace the diplomatic corps,
but for what purposes was not re-
vealed.
1t is understood that President Will
sons action was taken upon the ad-
vice of John Lind, his special envoy to
Mexico.
