Kandiyohi County was represented
at the State Democratic Conference
yesterday by VIM. Olson, A. o. Fors-
berg, G. P. Karwand, DR.. D. J. Nc
Mahon, V. E. Lawson, J. J. Jarrett,
J. A. Magnuson, S. E. Stansberry and
E. E. Smith. The four last named
were delegates selected at the I. ..
o. F. hall meeting who were substi-
tuted by common consent for four
delegates elected at the Courthouse
meeting, but who did not attend. Mr..
Olson was chairman of the delega-
tion and announced the ten votes for
Hammond. A. o. Forsberg spoke for
the Kandiyoh1 delegation, seconding
the nomination of w. S. Hammond
Ole Sageng was not considered as a
candidate, even by his home county,
so the Kandiyohi delegation felt free
to express their choice, especially IS
the resolution at the county mass
meeting was offered principally to
show the anti-Lawler sentiment of
those attending.

Alderman Would Abolish Tax.


Alderman Sperry asks the Willmar
Tribune to make clear to the voters
how to make their *" on the poll tax
amendment. If you place the TX"
after the word "Yes" that will be in
favor of the amendment that abolish
es the tax. If you vote "No" that
will help defeat the amendment and
retain the tax. Mr.. Sperry is strong
ly in favor of abolishing the tax. He
says that in the first place the exemp-
tions of the law release large share
Of the voters from paying the tax;
then it is tax that has been abolish
ed in most townships and cities and
people moving in resist the payment,
and create bad blood and annoyance
of many kinds; then the net returns
to the city after paying a man for col.
lecting the tax is small; and lastly,
but not least, the injustice Of allowing
only one dollar day to the man who
must work it out. The charter pro
vides that the tax shall be two days
work or 81 in cash. These reasons
says Mr.. Sperry, ought to convince
any fair-minded man that Willma1
should abolish the tax.

Peter B. Hong Elected to Take
Position at Kandiyohi Co.
Bank July |.

After an uninterrupted service of
over 33 years as the cashier and &C.
tive head of the Kandiyohi County
Bank, Mr.. l.. o. Thorpe at a recent
meeting of the banks directors,
handed in his resignation to take ef-
feet July 1st, next. The directors re-
luctantly accepted his resignation, in
consideration of Mr.. Thorpe's health,
as it has been known that Mr.. Thorpe
had looked for an opportunity for
some time to ask to be relieved from
the mass of details incident to his
duties as cashier.
Although retiring from active serv-
ice, MIR. Thorpe will remain as a d.
rector and stockholder, so that the
bank will have the benefit of his
judgment and counsel as heretofore.

filling the tables to the last place.
Between the courses the Ladies' Trio,
consisting of Misses Grindeland San
derson and Larsen, with Miss Rob-
bins as accompanist rendered some
very acceptable music. John Will
Jams and L. A. Void had done their
part we'll in planning the feed, and
the Ladies Social Union had charge
of the serving of the same. The menu
consisted of grape fruit, roast turkey,
sage dressing, creamed potatoes,
brown gravy, mashed turnips, celery,
dill pickles, cranberry marmalade,
graham bread, white bread, shrimp
salad with cream dressing, saratoga
waters, ice cream, snow cake, coffee,
mints and cigars. After having en-
joyed this feast the participants were
in a receptive mood and listened with
great interest to the addresses made.
The first talk was by Mr.. John H.
Hohmann of Mankato, the president
of the minnesota State Automobile
Association. We will not say much
about this speech here because we
deem it worthy of being published
in full, and it will appear in an early
issue of the Willmar Tribune. The
speaker traced the movement fo1
better roads from it's beginning tc
its present stage and sounded a note
of caution that such improvements be
distributed as fairly as possible tc
the different communities. He urged
the local club to become affiliated
with the state association, which
suggestion was later favorably acted
upon.
The next speaker, Atty. Eric
Thornton of Benson, made a. very in
teresting talk, telling of the success:
of the Benson Club and methods the!
had used to overcome prejudice ant
opposition to their work.
The last speaker was D. N. Tall
man, chairman of the Good Road
Committee. He spoke of the amour
of money available for the buildin'
of roads in Kandiyohi County AM
how it will be distributed.
There will be available to be spen
on the state roads in the county thl
year, $34,015.72, which has been az
portioned by the County Board a
follows: Willmar to Atwater, $4,000
Willmar to Pennock, $3,100; mort

of Pennock, $500; Willmar to Norway
Lake, $2,500; Willmar to Spicer,
nothing; Willmar to Svea, 5000;
to County line, Olivia road, $1,000;
Raymond, north, $1,000; Raymond
North, two bridges, $4,000; south Of
Atwater, $1,000; spicer to New Lon
don, $500; New London, north, $500;
for maintenance and patrol, of all
state roads, $4,000.
On other than State roads in the
county the amount available reaches
$4S,473.56: While this Is paid in
cash, farmers who wish to do so can
easily secure work on the roads and
will receive for man and team $4.00
per day in cash instead Of $500 per
day in credit on their taxes as for
merly. The speaker claimed that
only one-half of the increased taxes
are due the road taxes. The total
amount available to be spent on Kan.
diyohi County roads this year reach
es the sum Of $82,473.
The membership committee assist
ed by DR.. E. H. Frost we're active and
enrolled sixty-fve new members.
This will give the Club an impetus
it has never had before.
The members of the committee
having this meeting in charge are to
be congratulated on its success. The
present officers are L. A. Tjosvold,
president; Peter Bonde, vice presi-
dent; T. o. Gilbert, secretary and
E. P. Bjornberg, treasurer. The an
nual meeting of the club occurs this
