Many Redwood Falls People Go.

Lamberton is dedicating today her
White Way, the first dedication of
this kind in Redwood County and
thereby setting an example to her
sister cities.
The weatherman has approved of
this step taken by Lamberton to the
extent of giving his sign of approval
"a perfect day. Crowds began gath
ering early this morning and at two
o'clock this afternoon telephone mes
sage from Lamberton stated that
there were hundreds of people in town
and more were coming in by train,
team and auto.
Governor Eberhart, Senator Elwell
and other prominent politicians were
expected to arrive early this after
noon and to give short talks from
the auto in which they are making a
tour of inspection of the state high
ways. Many local politicians were
present from both Brown and Red
wood Counties.
The program started at ten o'clock
with band concert, and this was fol-
lowed by a splendid parade of floats.
Following the parade was a colt show
in which hundred splendid young
horses were paraded.
A wrestling match between DR..
Lynn of Lamberton, and Jimmie Potts
was scheduled for three o'clock.
The town is we'll decorated in honor
of the occasion and splendid dis
play of farm products has been ar
ranged.
Lamberton is rightfully proud of
her electric light posts which have
been installed at cost of $75 per
post. She may also be proud of hav-
ing inaugurated the White Way move
ment in Redwood County. In this
matter she has shown herself more
progressive and aggressive than Red
wood Falls, who by right of size,
should have taken the initial step.
Many Redwood people are in Lam
berton today, among them being

|'Opposed to Lee
Says J. D. Engle
Chairman of Prohibition State Cen
trail Committee Says Lee Is Not
Approved By His Party
NOT ENTITLED TO "DRY" VOTE
SAYS Prohibitionists Do Not Believe
Lee Is Going at Problem in
Right Way

j. ID. Engle of the Prohibition State
Central Committee has issued state
ment in opposition to the candidacy
of Mr.. Lee, in which he makes the
following assertions:
at is admitted by Mr.. Lee him
self and his campaign committee that
the liquor traffic is the dominating
issue at the present time
IF that is so, we, Prohibitionists,
do not believe Mr.. Lee is going at it
in the right way to solve it.
81 respect Mr.. Lee, but he made
one tremendous mistake when he was
in the legislature some years ago and
we believe he is making another in
advocating county option and the shall
low theory of trying to take brewery
influence out of politics, as long as
we have the breweries here to con-
I tend with.
'Mr. Lee told me earnestly of his
untiring efforts and final triumphal
success in getting the High License
Law passed when he was in the leg
islature in 1887. He told me with
much feeling of how the Prohibition
lists at that time openly opposed the
passage of that bill.
That High License Bill

that declaration. Just before the wal
of 1861 the temperance cause reached
its highest pitch. The war came OF
and occupied the field for a number
of years and the temperance ques
ton was almost forgotten during tina
time. Then the temperance wave be
gan to rise again, until in 1888 /
reached its height in this state.
"Since the famous High Licens
Law passed by Mr.. Lee and put Il
operation in 1888, the Temperance
cause began to wane until the Pro
hibition vote dwindled down to pal
try few thousand and the brewery in

Challenger Has
Evidently Not
Studied Markets

In recent challenge made to can
didate Jos. r. Keefe by his opponent,
the sixth resolution suggested for
debate was the question of Mr.. Keefe's
vote in the House on the Canadian
reciprocity being against the best
interests of his constituents.
It might well be suggested, that
before said challenger further dis
plays his ignorance, he note the prices
of wheat in the markets of Winnie
peg and Minneapolis. At the close
of market yesterday, wheat was SELL
ing for three cents more in the Win
nepeg pit than in Minneapolis. This
is not temporary condition but has
existed constantly for the past two
years, Canadian wheat averaging from
two to four cents higher each day
than Minnesota grain. This may jus
tify belief that the Minnesota mar
ket is being flooded with Canadian
products, but it would take Phila-
delpnla lawyer rather than a Sleepy
Eye attorney to prove it.
What is true of wheat will be found
true OF other materials and goods
the condition is bound to prevail as
long as the question of supply and
demand remains as it is at present
and there is no prospect of any
change.
While the friends of Sleepy Eyes
| silver-tongued orator may wish tc
see and hear him display his talent
1T would seem essential that he
choose the live issues rather than the
matters that were settled for all time
several years ago.

SEARS ESTATE WAS S17.0OO,OO0

The will of the late Richard ".
Sears, founder of Sears, Roebuck &
Co. of Chicago, has been filed in the
Lake county court, showing an esti-
mated valuation of S17,OO0,0O0. His
widow, Anna, is made executrix of
the estate without bond and is also
made the sole heir.
The home of the Sears is shown to
be Gray's Lake. They have fine
summer home on Cages Lake also.
The will was filed for probate Oct.
The inheritance tax will be one
of the largest ever paid to the state
of Illinois from Lake county. 1t is
believed the appraiser may show the
estate has almost twice the estimated
value.

regarded as masterpieces of legal learn

Judge Bunn's honesty and special mt
