gren of Beckville, Berg of Atwater,
Tillman of Tripolis, Swenson of New
London, Ryden of Svea, and the local
pastor, Rev. Pearson. Rev. Bergquist
of Christine was prevented from at
tending. The feature yesterday after
noon was the discussion of the signs
OF the times, which was opened by an
able exposition of historical facts and
their application to prophecy by Rev.
A. ]. Ryden of Svea. At the services
last night the number of pastors was
augmented by Rev. Cesander of Sioux
Falls, who made few remarks Of
greeting. This Wednesday morning the
pastors went to Tripolis where Rev.
H. Tillman was installed as pastor by
Rt. Rev. P. A. Mattson, president of
the Minnesota Conference, assisted by
the pastors of the district and Rev.
Cesander. This evening the latter lee
lures at Pennock on the subject Of
the use Of the Bible in the public

The Hennepin County Election.

The Hennepin County Election.
The Hennepin County option cleo.
ton is now far enough past so that it |
is possible to figure out some of the
causes of the Dry defeat.
Undoubtedly the immediate cause
was the wholesale frauds committed
by the vets. Here are some samples
as told in the Minneapolis Journal
and otherwise:
One Minneapolis brewing company
had imported a hundred negroes from
St. Louis little over a month before
the election. They all voted by swear
ing in their votes; sweating that they
had lived in the precinct thirty days.
They were not asked if they had
lived in the state six months, which
is also requirement of the law, but
they swore they were legal voters.
One truck load of buns is said to
have been taken to nine different vot-
ing places, where they all voted in
each place. They swore in their
votes.
In one precinct, crowd of about
one hundred men, came in at one time
to vote. The judges told them to hold
up their hands and the whole bunch
were sworn at once.
In one precinct, large crowd came
in together and brushed the dry chal-
lengers aside and voted without be-
ing sworn at all. All the judges in
this precinct were wet. This was also
the case in eight other precincts.
DR.. Geo. D. Haggard, vice-chairman
OF the Prohibition Stat e Committee,
was judge in one precint. He not
| iced that loads we're brought in by au-
to-, evidently contrary to law. He sent
the challenger out to get the number
of one car as it was unloading it's pas.
sengers, but the numbers both in front
and behind had been covered and be-
fore an investigation could be had, the
car was gone.
| Auto loads of travelling men were
brought over from st. Paul and voted
by swearing in their votes.
Men who have been dead for years
are found in the lists of those who
voted in the county option election in
Hennepin. The same is true of men
who removed from the city long be.
fore this election.
One man testifes that when he
came to vote, he was handed ballot,
already marked "No." When he com.
planned, he was told by the judges, all
of whom were wet, that he would eth.
er vote that ticket or none at all. In
another precinct, wet Judge took q
peep at the ballots after they were
marked and when the dry votes were
coming too fast, he would stick some
in his pocket instead Of in the ballot
box.
This list of atrocities could be con.
tinued indefinitely. The scope of the
frauds committed may best be under.
stood by comparing the total vote cast
in the county option election with the
total vote cast In the election last fall
Hennepin county waxed warm over
the last gubernatorial election which
was holly contested and 51,987 votes
were cast, but in the county option
election there were almost 10000
votes cast, or about $4,000 votes more
than in the last general election. That
will give some idea Of where at least
some Of the 5000 wet majority came
from. -Prohibitio Press Bulletin.
