Hermann Polkow, Chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, was
easily the hero of the hour at the regular
monthly meeting of the Commercial
Club held at the club rooms Monday
evening. He received the hearty thanks
Of the club for securing the convention
of the Conference Of Corrections and
Charities for New Ulm, red handed and
alone, and was made an honorary mem
Der Of the club. When called upon to
tell how he. came to do it, he told how
Co. Auditor Vogel and Albert Steinhauser
had suggested to him the evening before
he left New Ulm for Bemidji that he
might make an effort to get the next
convention of the Associated Charities
for New Ulm. He says that he inn
mediately got busy and by the time he
reached Minneapolis he had one vote
pledged and that of the only County
Commissioner who happened to be on
the same train. Fergus Falls and
Owatonna were also in the field for the
convention and New Ulm beat them by
two votes. When it was urged as an
argument against New Ulm, that it lacks
the required hotel accommoda tion, Mr..
PQlkow informed them that New Ulm
hid always been able to take care of the
Guests within it's borders and would be
able to do so in this case.
/ According to Mr.. Polkow, the con-
yention which will last about four days,
will be attended by about 200 delegates.
Pres. Ottomeyer was instructed to APP
u toi iis a committee which; will have charge
of taking care of this convention and
which will notify the Secretary of the
Associated Charities in Minneapolis that
New Ulm stands ready and willing to be
host to the oath Annual Convention of
the Associated Charities in September,
1915.
Some time between the 18th and the
goth of November, New Ulm will have
the Corn and Colt Show which is annually
held by the Brown County Farmers
and Breeders Association. L. E..
Potter, candidate for Senator, when in
the city recently told Pres. Ottomeyer
that the Breeders Association would like
to come here and that to secure the
meeting it would be necessary to furnish
the hall for the exhibits and the meetings
and the sum of 500 toward the payment
of the premiums which are usually
awarded.
When the proposition was put up to
the members of the club some opposition
manifested itself because it was feared
that this would detract from our own
annual fairs. After the matter had been
thoroly threshed out the prevailing
sentiment was that the Corn and Colt
Show is an endeavor worthy of encourage
ment and committee of three consisting
of Emil G. Hage, F. H. Behnke and
ALI. G.. Nagel was appointed to raise the
required funds and make the necessary
arrangements.
It developed during the course of the
evening that some misunderstanding
prevails as to the proposed road to and
the bridge across Redstone, because
nothing had been done by any one
toward securing these improvements.
Auditor Vogel stated that this is a matter
which does not concern the County
Board and that they could do nothing
even if they wanted to. 1t was finally
decided to ask the city council to take
the initiative and a committee consisting
of Albert Steinhauser, Chas. Vogtel and
j. L. Schoch was appointed to appear
before the next meeting Of the city
fathers and present the wishes of the
Commercial Club.
The liveliest discussion was precipi-
tated when the matter Of the fragrant
violations in the city Of automobiles.
rules and regulations as they maintain
all over the State came up for an airing.
Names were not mentioned but it was
quite emphatically stated that some of
the Doctors are the worst violators of
the rules. It was also stated that cut
offs are used frequently by people going
up Center Street, that cars left standing
don't face the right way and that no one
makes any serious pretension of following
the rules with reference to turning
around only at the street intersections.
But one sentiment prevailed and that
was that there must come change att
once. Ferdinand Crone was roundly
applauded when he said that there wasn't
