RETURNS FROM MAINE.

Official returns now completed show
that the democratic victory in Maine
was more pronounced than was at first
supposed. The compilation gives the
democrats control of the legislature on
joint ballot for the second time in sixty
five years.
The control of the legislature is of much
greater Importance than most people
outside of the state are aware of. In
Maine all of the state officers, with the
exception of the governor and the state
auditor, are chosen by the legislature.
Democratic control, therefore, means the
election of democrats as secretary of
state, as attorney general, as state
treasurer, and the appointment of all
state commissions and bureaus, and the
heads of all departments and state insti-
sutions.
All that has been left to the Repub
scanf is few scattering county offices
and three congressman whose pluralities
were materially reduced. The new demo-
sratic administration will be installed on
January 1, 1915.

In Or. Fritsche's opinion, Germany has
enough provisions to carry them thru
Tor an entire year. The crop this year
was bountiful, especially the fruit crop
and It was all harvested in due time. He
says that old men and women, teachers
with their pupils, college boys and girls,
IN TACT every one able to work was in the
1lelds garnering the crops. He believes
that there are still thousands of Ameri-
cans IN Europe and that they will find it
hard to get back. He said that it was a
matter OF luck more than anything else
that made it possible for him to get
started home from Rotterdam on the
"Noordham.
Before going aboard ship the Doc OF
saw London daily under date Of Sept.
list IN which the first three pages were
devoted to commercialism, telling how
the trade OF Germany in different parts
OF the world could be taken away from
her, and only one half page was devoted
to war news. This he thought quite
significant. While on the ocean he saw
a London daily published in the latter
part OF August in which in scare heads
it was reported that 100000 Russians
were swarming over Prussia.
The trip home which lasted days was
uneventful, except for the fact that they
were stopped three times by English war
ships. One Of them took off German
student who was on his way to Philadel-
phia to study. He was given an oppor-
tunity to proceed by declaring that if |
he should return to Germany before the
war was ended that he would not fight
in the German army. This he refused to
do and he was thereupon taken off the |
ship. Doctor Fritsche arrived in New
York October End and on the way home
spent one day each at Buffalo, Chicago,
Madison, Wis, and Rochester, MINI.
He was glad to get back and says that
i he had known what was going to trans
plre IN Europe he would not have made
he trip this year.

WHO WILL PUT NEW ULM ON THE
MAP?

Altho New Ulm is quite we'll known
thruout the Middle West and possibly
better known than any other city for it's
size in this country, yet there are millions
of people who have never heard of New
Ulm and great many more who have
never seen it. With the Black and
Yellow Trail which will be the main
trunk line of highways from Chicago to
the Yellowstone National Park, under
construction at quite few places, it will
be only few years before there will be
an immense auto traffic thru New Ulm.
Will they stop here for a days visit or
more or will they pass right thru without
even stopping long enough to buy gallon

ANOTHER CuNvENTIoNFO NEW

Altho the. news is rather old to the
members Of the Foresters Lodge Of this
city, it is not commonly known to the
citizens that next June New Uhn will be
called upon to welcome the bf-annual
conclave. Of the order. There will be
some two to three hundred delegates in
attendance and this means that next
summer New Ulm will have no time to
go to sleep between acts with two such
good sized gatherings to entertain. It's
good for the city. Let's have all the
company we can induce to visit us. It
keeps us alive and moving.
