JOHN G. LEWIS
OUT FOR HOOD
Former State Treasurer De-
cides Which Among Friends
He Will Support

Former State Treasurer John 6.
Lewis, who has been mentioned as a
probable candidate. for mayor. and who
was urged by friends to enter the
race, was interviewed on the subject
yesterday by the Herald, when he
most emphatically stated that he was
not, nor would be candidate for tha.
or any other city office at this elec-
ton, in fact, Mr.. Lewis appeared to
have in mind a complete rest after
four years in official service.
Being a pioneer citizen, with his
home and extensive interests in Alb
erdeen, Mr.. Lewis is keenly alive to
anything that affects the city for good
or ill, and as good citizen he is in
terested in the coming fayoralty con-
test. Personally he is friendly to all
the candidates. Three of them, with
himself, are pioneers of the city, and
have watched it grow from small
hamlet clustered around the Weather
wax and West saw mills to it's pres
ent Importance. and FOR them he has
/ the kindliest feeling. But, having to
decide, he does so without equivoca-
ton, and, with an eye single to what
he conceives the best interests of the
city, is in favor of James A. Hood.
While the Others he said, are excel
lent men and splendid citizens, his
knowledge of Mr.. Hood lends to his
conviction that by experience and
temperament he is the best fitted for
the office of the candidates yet named,
and that he should feel in duty bound
to support him.

Business Undisturbed

The country is showing the utmost
confidence in the ability and Judgment
of the democrats in revising the tar
iff downward in accordance with the
Democratic pledges and the usual
business check occasioned by tariff
legislation has not been noticed this
year and it does not seem that there
will be the slightest check in our
present prosperity by reason of the
democratic tariff bill. On the other
hand industries are showing unusual
activity in all lines, and when the bill
becomes law all business will be
helped.

PROCRESSIYES
CONTROL SENATE
And Abolish One-Man Power
Committee Assignments
Will Be Open

Washington, d. c. Jan. 21.-(Specialj
Ever since the election of Woodrow
Wilson, contest has been going OH
among the democrats in the senate
for the control of it's policies. The
progressive democrats whose number
will be increased by those to be chos-
en- from various states this month
have now gained control of the demo-
cratic caucus.
Hereafter instead of assigning the
democratic members to the various
senate committees by the chairman of
the caucus they will be chosen by (,
Committee on Committees" so that
zone man power" will no longer pre-
vail, but the same method as was
adopted by the democratic house will
be the rule. The progressives have
had the unfaltering support of Presi-
dent-elect Wilson and this has en-
abled them to triumph over the lead
ship of the conservatives. Senator
Hoke Smith, of Ca, Thos. P. Gore, the
blind senator from Okla, Luke Lea,
of Tenn, and Senator Stone of
Missouri. and Senator Pomerene of
Ohio have been active participants in
this fight for wrestling the senate from
the hands of the non-progressives.
Tariff Hearings
Tariff hearings are now rapidly pro
crossing before the Ways and Means
committee. Hon. Oscar w. Under
wood of Ala, chairman Of this COM
mittee announces that the hearings
will terminate on Jan 81, and be pre-
sented to congress on the assembling
of the extra session which it is under
stood will be called by President VIII
son probably about the middle OF
March

Andrew y Stene Has Narrow
Escape From DEATH
last q 'l' ! Saturday. a Il d J

Andrew Stene, young farmer liv-
ing northwest Of Willmar had an un-
fortunate accident last Saturday after
noon when the west-bound Sioux City
passenger struck his team and bug
gy as he was crossing the track on
10th street. s.:s .ss s.ss
.s Mr.. Stene had bought the team and
buggy from Ed. Hagen =on Pacific ave-
nue. the same day and was returning
home in a lumber wagon behind which.
were. tied the newly purchased horses
5hitched to the buggy. AS he was.
watching the hind team to see how
they were leading he did not notice
the approaching passenger train Just
as the wagon was crossing the track
the engineer Of the train whistled and
this, perhaps, saved the young mans
life, for the team he drove jumped
forward SO that the wagon cleared the
track, but the horses behind having
no means Of escape were hit and also
the buggy which was completely de-
,molished. The horses were killed inn
smediately after the accident. The G..
n. claim agent viewed the scene Of
the accident the same day and it is
thought that the Railway Company
will stand the greater part Of the loss.

BIG GAM E NEXT WEEK

at the Local Ball Park. Il.
Next Thursday afternoon, Nov. 27,
is the big day in local football circles.
At that time the football teams re-
presenting the high school and alum
nj will clash in their annual struggle.
With good weather, this year the
game will be one we'll worth watching
as both teams are out to win. N &
The admission for the game will be
Csc and the proceeds will go to the
high school athletic association. There
is some talk that members of the high
school squad will have to be up and
above grade in all their studies before
being able to participate in the game.
AS there are two or three of the best
men on the squad who have habit
Of being down" all the time, this
would greatly weaken the team. This
is no championship or any thing Of
the kind (altho the winners can claim
the championship Of the city,, but is
played each year to provide
fun for the crowd and get little
money for the high school. r 4 @s~ +.

That the EAST and West Highway
from the Twin Cities to Browns Val
ley will stand an excellent chance to
be designated as one Of the national
highways, to be built by the Federal
Government is the belief of Mr.. D. N.
Tallman, president, and other direc-
tors Of the E. & w. Association, which
was organized at Graceville last sum-
mer.
This would mean that not only
would we have such an east and west
highway built of concrete, but it
would be built without cost to the
county and amounts spent on the
same heretofore would be refunded to
the county. 81.
The officers and directors of East
and West Highway Association met
last Friday and talked over the sitl-
alton. They passed resolutions ask
ing the State Highway Commission
to have this East and West highway
surveyed as soon as possible and to
give additional aid for construction.
The officers later personally appeared
before the State Highway Commits
sion, and the members of the same
agreed to have the highway surveyed
the coming winter. They also agreed
to give an additional appropriation II
$4,000 for this highway, over and
above the regular appropriation to be
received by each county, which will
require an additional appropriation OF
$4,000 by the counties, making $27,.
600 in all. Il ~ ::
Last year Traverse county spent
$4,000 on this highway; Big Stone,
$4,000; Kandiyohi, $4,000; Meeker,
$4,000: Wright, $4,000, and Swift a
good sized amount. These counties
will spend larger amounts during the
coming year.
A member Of. the national highway
association appeared before the Off,
GERS Of the E. & w. Highway Asso'
citation Friday and declared that ii
either of the bills now pending in
Congress becomes law there will be
an appropriation of five hundred mill
ion, fifty million of which will be
spent each year for ten years. These
appropriations would give us two ma
tiOnal roads across the state of Min
nesota, and that without doubt the
routes most accessible and easily con
structed would be chosen. II oul
highway was in better shape than
others that would give us the prefer
ence. In this event the road would be
constructed entirely by the Govern
ment and all money expended by the
state and counties on said road woulG
be refunded to them, to be used upoi
other roads within the counties where
the refunds were made.
| It will thus be seen that the effort:
made by the counties along this cas-
and west highway may win for us {
national highway which would mea1
much to the communities thru which
it runs, and that it would be poor pol
icy not to bend every effort possibl,
to put this route in good shape at tn
earliest possible date. -.
