Glenwood Enterprise: It seems that
there are many people who do not
thoroughly understand the provisions
of the non-partisan election law PASSED
by the recent legislature. Under this
law all candidates for judicial, legisla-
tive and county offices within the state
are made non-partisan. Should only
two candidates file for the same nom
partisan office, then in such an event
their names will not appear on the
primary ballot. If there are more than
two aspirants for any non-partisan
office, the name of each candidate will
appear on the primary ballot. and the
two receiving the highest number of
votes at the primary will be placed on
the general election ballot.

Some folks may doubt whether the
Mexican affair is worth, to paraDhrase
Bismarck, the bones of single Ameri-
can soldier, but there is no question
that the nation stands behind the
president. The last man on earth to
desire war is the president. He has
not the bellicose qualities of Roosevelt,
and his constructive program may be
endangered by war. He has gone in
to the conflict because it could not well
be avoided. And every American
worthy the name will stand by the
president.

Perhaps, after the trouble with
Mexico is settled-let us hope with as
little loss of blood as possible-it may
be worth while to find out why the
Mexicans have disliked this country,
and whether that situation cannot be
changed. The big men of Mexico go
to Oxford, OF Heidelberg, or the Sor-
bonne, not to Harvard, Yale, Prince
ton or Notre Dame. If they had been
going to American instead Of European
colleges and military schools, many
things would undoubtedly be different.

state aids. In the rear of the gallery
will be little hall leading up to the
janitor's room under the stage.
On the second floor the front of the
building will be used for the officers
rooms, which are located in the two
wings for the respective companies.
The center will contain the parlor and
the non-commissioned officers rooms
which will be used as wardrobes in case
of entertainments.
The drill floor, which occupies the
main part of the second floor, is 67x9O,
with stage and four dressing rooms in
the rear. The stage is 20x5O feet,
which is large enough for most theatrical
purposes. The ceiling above the drill
hall rests on 70-foot steel trusses, and
is high enough for 6rst-class gymnastic
equipment. On the third floor, the front
facing Broadway is fitted up for the
Second Regiment Band quarters. These
consist of good-sized music hall,
captains room, music rooms, and toilet
and locker rooms. Adjoining these
rooms is the gallery above the drill hall.
The plans were prepared specifying a
gallery and, running track clear around
the hall, but because of lack of funds
this cannot be put in at present.

One of the largest public buildings
in the city will be the new Armory on
the corner of Broadway and Second
North Streets, which is being built at
a cost of $4,000. Work on the building
was started last June, but the progress
has been rather slow, so that at present
the WOrlmen are just starting on the
roof. Several weeks ago it was found
that a mistake had been made in the
construction of the pillars which were
to hold up the steel trusses of the roof.
These had to be reinforced before work
could continue, but now as the roof will
soon be laid, the work on the interior
will progress rapidly. The expense of
the building falls mostly on the state,
which allows $4,000 for each company.
The city furnishes the site and an adj
ditional $1,000. for each company. Be
sides this the state gives a certain
amount each year for expenses and up
keep, which with the money from the
rent of the hall for various entertain
ments and athletic games, is expected
to make up the balance Of the $45 1000.
The building has front elevation of
So feet, the walls being 40 feet above
the concrete foundation. 1t is three
stories high, rs feet wide and $50 feet
long. The materials are concrete and
New Ulm wire cut brick made by the

The main entrance is on Broadway

which leads into the main corridor Of
the ground floor. Two more entrances
are found on the North and South sides,
allleading to the drill hail. The entrance
on second North Street is twelve feet
wide, arranged so that automobiles can
be driven up on the main floor.
On each side of the Broadway entrance
are shower baths and locker rooms; in
the corners are the gun rooms, one for
each company. The main corridor ex-
tends from the entrance the length of
the building to the rear where the boiler
room is situated. On the left side of
the corridor are the Company "a"
rooms as follows: the locker room, field
equipment room, quartermaster' store
room, and additional store room for
heavy stores. On the same side is the
dining room, size 46x42, and adjoining
that a kitchen 40x24 feet.
On the right hand side of the corridor,
adjoining the shower baths are the
stairs leading up to the drill floor. Then
come the locker rooms for the Machine
Gun Company, the field equipment
rooms, the quartermaster's store rooms,
and another store room for heavy
supplies. Beyond that is the bowling
alley with space for three alleys and
raised seats for spectators at the end of
the run. To the left of the alley will
be the shooting gallery for indoor target

CARRANzA'S OFFER IS LATE
His Guarantee to American Govern ment Has Not Solved the Question of the Early Evacuation of the Port of Vera Cruz.

Washington, Nov 11-President Wilson and Secretary Bryan discuss ed for neary tlree hours tonight the question of evacuation of Vera Cruz by the American forces. No an nouncem. mt was made at the con clusiou of the conference, but it was
 understood the president decided to await further adyices tomorrow as to the political situation in Mexico.
 The decrees issued by General Car ranza granting all the requests of the American government were carefully considered earranza granted am nesty to the MeXicans who served the American government during its oc equation and ordered that taxes or customs paid to the American off cers be not reimposed lnasmuch as the national convention at Aguas Caiientes ordered Carranza to com ply with the wishes of the American government in connection with these guarantees, the Washington govern
 ment was confronted with the fact l that its demands were acquiesced In ! by all factions in Mexico,
 In official circ es generally it was | believed that while the president
 would order the evacuation. ne might | wait few days for a definite align ment of the various chiefs in the
 latest civil war. The American gov ernment is on record in diplomatic correspondence as promising the withdrawal of the troops when the guarantees it requested were com piled with, and persons conyersant with the presidents point of view be- Heve he purposes to redeem this promise as soon as possible, Ii has been pointed out that the American garrison might be placed in an em- barrassing situation if the forces con
 trol ed by Carranza and those of the convention carried on their conflict
 near the city of Vera Cruz.
 It was suggested after tonights
 conference that the Washington gov ernment might await some formal ex- prtssion from the convention at IAguas Calientes, as well as from Cen
 eral Gutierrez, whom it nas selected
 as provisional president before with drawing the American troops.
 Secretary Garrison told Secretary Bryan before the White house confer
 ence that the troops were ready to
 embark, ali arrangements having
 been completed some time ago. Twen- | ty-four hundred marines also will be
 taken away by the war department s
 transports, as the navy has no ade- quate number of vessels to carry
 them away The troops will go to Texas City and the marines probably
 to Pensacola, Fla, or Guantanamo.
