Wednesday June 3rd 1914.
Official Paper of the City of New Ulm.

We have to announce this week the
candidacy OF our business manager,
Albert Steinhauser, for the nomination
to the Office OF Judge Of Probate Of Brown
County. Mr.. Steinhauser was prompted
to take this step because it is the opinion
of many that this Office should be held
By some one who is experienced in legal
matters and as lawyer Of many years
experience he was urged to make the
campaign His filing, as he did, shortly
before midnight on the last day came
directly as the result of the withdrawal
OF the name OF Herman Polkow from the
list, OF candidates. Mr.. Polkow made
it plain, that he was willing to step back
because he considered Mr.. Steinhauser
enainently fitted for the Office on account
Of his. legal training. Because of his
entering the campaign so late, Mr..
Steinhauser is asking only fair con-
sideration: Of: his qualifications for the
office and is quite willing to accept the
decision of-the voters as registered at the
primary.

( How one determined citizen OF Austin
started a successful crusade for beauti.
flying his home town appears from the
following EDITORIAL which recently -ap.
peared in the Minneapolis Tribune:
Washington, D. C. is generally re-
membered for it's irregular little park
spaces. Wherever the avenues and
rectangular streets converge, the tri-
angles are made into flower beds. Here
and there are fairly elaborate circular
parks. But these odd bits of grass
rarely fail to attract attention.
In Minnesota one of our smaller cities
has been at work the past few years to
obtain for it's people the same park dis
tinction. Austin has an unusual acreage
of large parks. And to these parks it
has added series OF triangles and odd
plots in the Washington fashion, until at
this season it is difficult to turn in any
direction there without seeing a flower
garden that belongs to all the people and
gives pleasure to all the people.
The movement has been admirably
forwarded tby the Austin Herald 1t
originated; however, with one Of Austin's
citizens who was not suspected Of any
marked sentiment. He finally lost
patience with a triangle directly in front
of the Hera1a Office. ''Say," he observed,

expenditure of time and money to make
New Ulm the most attractive city IN
this section of the State.
Very little has been done IN tins OIL

done, but there has been no systematic
effort to bring about results. 1t must
be admitted from the start that it will
take years and years to do everything
that can be done along these lines, but
nothing prevents making the start now.
A competent landscape gardener should
be secured at once who could even this

of parks. boulevards and driveways

first steps could be taken to carry out
the general scheme for identifying the
