TROUBLE IN REDWOOD MILL
TARY AFFAIRS.

Gen. Fred. B. Wood of the National
Guard spent part of last week at Red
wood Falls in thoroughly investigating
the affairs of Company L, having been
brought here by the proffered resigna-
ton of Capt. G. F. Gales. This resig-
nation has not yet been accepted and
cannot be until some one with the
necessary qualifications is found to take
Capt. Gales place, and Gen. Wood feels
as do many citizens, that the acceptance
would jeopardize the existence of the
Company.
Should Capt. Gales insist upon re-
signing under the present conditions,
with no available person to take his place,
Company L would be disbanded at once
and the armory absolutely closed as,
under the state law, no military company,
no armory. This would deprive Red
wood Falls of it's best and largest audi
forum and be an absolute waste of the
money which has been expended in it's
construction. All equipment would be
returned to the National Guard head
quarters.

:: new EXECUTIVE
-. Il
J. A. A. BurnquIst Becomes
Governor Of Minnesota.
SOLEMN, SIMPLE CEREMONY

Justice Bum Of the State Supreme
Court swears in the Lieutenant
Governor in the Presence Of a Few
Other Officials.
st. Paul, Dec. 31.-J. A. A. Burn.
Quist OF St. Paul took the oath of Of
fee as the nineteenth governor of
Minnesota in the presence of small
assemblage Of state officials and CAPT
toll employees. The ceremony, which
occupied less than minute, was sim.
pie in the extreme, its solemnity
heightened by the feeling Of sorrow
that followed the death of Governor
w. S. Hammond.
Justice George L. Bum of the su.
preme court administered the oath to
the new governor. When Mr.. Burn.
quist's solemn Il do had followed the
recitation Of the formal obligation the
two mems hands met for a moment
and Governor Burnquist turned to
clasp hands with Secretary Of State
Schmahl, Attorney General Smith and
Insurance Commissioner Works.
No words of congratulation were
spoken. The induction of a new execu.
tive did not assuage the grief that had
reigned in the capitol and throughout
the city since the first news of Gov
ernor Hammond's death had been re-
ceived.
Mr.. Burnquist followed the advice
Of Attorney General Smith in assum-
ing Office within q few hours after the
death of his predecessor.
It was his wish that the ceremony
be postponed until after Governor
Hammond's funeral.
Governor Burnquist refused to en-.
ter on his official duties at once and
announced that he will not occupy
Governor Hammond's former quarters
at the capitol until after the funeral
services. He will visit the executive
building to transact necessary official
business, but temporarily will use a
desk in the Office of Attorney General
Smith.
Immediately after taking the oath
Governor Burnquist entered into con-
ference with Insurance Commission
er Works with reference to the plans
for the reception of Governor Ham
mond's body in st. Paul. .!.:3..

IiticaI Circles.

IiticaI Circles.
St. Paul, Dec. 31.-For a mild man
nered and apparently easy going
young man Governor J. A. Burnquist
has engaged in good many political
battles and in most of them he has
come out victorious.
All of his political career has been
in Minnesota. He came to St. Paul
in 1905 and located in the First ward.
In 1906 he was a candidate for the
state senate against w. w. Dunn, the
veteran member from the First and
Second wards. Burnquist carried the
First ward by a good majority, but
was defeated by small margin.
In 1908 he ran for the house from
the First ward and was elected. He
at once took his stand with the pro-
gressive element, although he was
never a radical.
In 1910 he was reelected to the
house without opposition and became
a candidate for speaker against H. H.
Dunn of Albert Lea, but was defeated.
Burnquist was elected lieutenant
governor in 1912 and reelected in
1914.
