Complied With

All the candidates for office in
Stevens county at the November
election have filed their expense ac-
counts with the county auditor in ac-
cordance with the state law requiring
these accounts to be filed within thirty
days of the election. The statements
show some interesting figures. L. c..
Spooner has the distinction of having
spent the most money, and four candi-
dates are tie for the low place in
the list. j. j. Gaffney and E. G..
Gilbert, rival candidates for the Office
of register of deeds, came within
thirty-eight cents of tieing each other
on the expense account. ". n.
Cherry and T. j. Mangan ran within
sixty -four cents of each other. Be-
low are the figures:
Auditor:
F. E. Ware. 1929. 95.
Carl Wollthan, $218. 90.
Treasurer Carl Buckentin. $40. 90.

j. j. Gaffney. $186 68.

Figures compiled by Secretary Of
State Schmahl show that the expenses
OF the general election Nov. 8 was
approximately S152, 200 to the tax
payers of the state. There were about
$50, 600 ballots cast so that the cost
foots up to A cents for each vote
cast, or $50 for each of the 3,O4z
voting precincts in the state. The
cost to the candidates is estimated a
$1.24 for each vote cast. In thi
computation no account is taken O.
the expense incurred during the prim
ary election in June. The expense o:
that election were as great, if no
greater, than the November election
1t is difficult to determine the ex
act amount all the candidates spen
directly and indirectly in the cam
paign. Various estimates have beel
made ranging from $400, 900 t
81, 100000.

Helen Branconir Smith is to me one
of the most attractive of the debutantes.
She comes of aristocratic French stock,
being a granddaughter of the late John
+. Gibbons, one of St. Louis most promi-
nent citizens, who entertained the
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia on mis-
only visit to this country, and who was
chosen to present the American flag to
the Empress Eugene at the opening of
the Paris Exposition in 1861.
The little lady's ancestors came direct
from France, and set UP housekeeping
in st. Louis as early as r765. and the
old stone house which they built and in
which they lived is still standing. They
have ever been a family of fighters,
numbering in their ranks Captain Boil
leau. who achieved great distinction in
the French navy; Col Henry Buissonet.
who commanded at Fort Charities in
I76s, and Capt Henry Guibor, who
formed his own battalion in the civil
war. and was one of the few Confed-
crate officers whose record is preserved
in the War Department
On her fathers side Helen is closely
related to Gen. Cyrus Busy. former
Secretary of the Interior under Harri-
son and recently commander of the
Loyal Legion.
Mrs. Smith has cards out for tea
dance. on Thursday. December 10. at
Rauscher's, to introduce her daughter.

BREAKS TRACK RECORD
Major Gantz Electrifes Large Crowd
at Winona, Friday-Will Be Seen
At Stearns County Fair.

Major Gantz, w. F. Sanderson's
sturdy little PAGER, clipped 81 seconds
off the track record at Winona Fri
day of last week, when he won the
free for all pace in the remarkable
time of 2:09A, 2:10A and PIP. The
Winona track is a half mile in cir
conference and the record made by
the local horse is considered remark
able by those familiar with conditions,
and is likely to stand for some time.
DeHall, owned by Sanderson and
Parker, won the first heat of the 2:25
pace in 2.21A but the owners were
not anxious to mark him by winning
the race, and were content with second
money.
Kingola was entered in the 2:3O
pace and the best time in this race
was 2:191a. The $50" class is filled
with "bear cats" who have an album
dance of speed but are known as
"green" horses because they have not
won first money in any event although
they may have paced mile in 2:15
or less. This horse is coming along
fine and Messrs Sanderson and Parker
are delighted with their purchase.
The Sank Centre horses are racing
at Sparta, Wis, this week and will
ship directly home from there. In
their loyalty to Sank Centre, Messrs.
Sanderson and Parker are shipping
quite distance out of their way to
attend the Stearns county fair.
Mr.. Parker stated to the Herald
that an attempt would be made at the
Sank Centre races to mark both
DeHall and Kingola and he was GER
tain that they would give good ac-
count of themselves.
In speaking of the work of Major
Gantz at Winona, the Independent, of
that city, of Saturday morning, says:
Lowering the tracks pacing mark

in rather ragged form. At The out
set it narrowed dowr 20 battle be-
tween California Dillon and Major
Gantz, the latter passing California
in the home stretch. Albert S with
drew at the close of the first heat.
The time was 2:09A, 81 seconds bet
ter than the track record.
"The second heat was not so fast
The horses kept their pace without a
break the entire heas. The horses

der as during the first heat, Major
Gantz, first; California Dillon, second;
Queen Ramona, third, and Billy d,
fourth. The time was 2:10A.
"Major Gantz set the pace during
the third heat the entire mile and the
race became lively battle for third
place with Queen Ramona winning in
the last eighth by neck. The time
was 2:12."
