VOTERS WILL HAVE
ELECTIONS GALORE
r
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES AND
COLLECTIONS ON SAME >
-: =: DAY. II
REGULAR STATE PRIMARIES TC
BE HELD SECOND TUESDAY
IN JUNE.

Tuesday, March IA, election day in
the several villages and townships of the
state, will be of double interest this year
because of the presidential preference
primary, which is held on the same day,
in accordance with the Minnesota pri-
mary law passed by the 1913 legislature.
The ballots will bear the names of the
candidates for president and vice presi-
dent of all parties and the names of all
candidates for delegates and alternates
to the national convention of each party
as well as the names of all candidates for
presidential electors. . :. = =
The law says that the presidential can
didate receiving the highest number of
votes, shall be declared the choice of the
party, and that the delegates elected on
going to the convention, shall to the best
of their judgment and ability, faithfully
carry out the wishes of the voters, as
expressed at the primaries. j
The law is indefinite on many points,
and if attacked, it is doubtful if it would
be sustained by the courts. For in
stance, the law says that two delegates
shall be elected from each congressional
district, but it is difficult to tell from the
law whether they shall vote for the
presidential candidate who receives the
highest number of votes in their par
ticular district, or for the candidate who
receives the highest number in the state.
Another point left unexplained is whether,
if they find that the candidate their
state has voted for has no possible chance
in the national convention, they are to
vote for him throughout the convention
or whether they must vote for him at
all. On just these points it is believed
the primary law will lose it's effect, as the
matter of choice seems to have been
left to the individual delegate or the
state delegation, just as it always has
been under the old system of party
caucuses and conventions.
These primaries in March, however,
are not the only ones the voters will have
to contend with this year. There will
be second primary in June, at which
time they will be called upon to make
their choice of candidates for the follow
ing offices: United States senator, COVER

SURPRISE IN SINGLES AND
@@,,-,
FIVE MEN EVENT CAPTURED
BY AMERICANS WITH PINS
TO SPARE

The bowling tournament held by the
bowlers of New Ulm during the past
week came to an end Sunday evening
with Bierbaum the last man to bowl.
Much interest was manifested as to the
outcome of the tournament as the
bowlers of this city have been doing
some very good bowling during the past
few weeks and the competition for first
place in the tournee was keen.
The entries came up to the expecta-
tions, % names being handed in for
singles, 10 for doubles and five five-men
teams entering. The entry fee was $3.50
OF which rs cents was retained for ex-
penses and the rest divided up for the
purses. The first prize in the five-men
event was $14.O0, which went to the
Americans, the second prize $500, to the
Majors, and the third prize $3.50 which

f One OF the surprises of the tournament
was the good bowling Of the Sleepy Eye
pin hitters in the singles and doubles. In
the singles they took first and second
money, Maurer leading off with 605 and
Glotzbach having 500. In the doubles
they took second and third place, Glotz-
bach and Maurer ranking second with

and third respectively, the former get
ting $50 and the latter 554 pins.

and sixth places with SAG pins each while
seventh place went to Baasen and Linde-
mann took the last prize. R. Dahms

singles with 400 pins. The cigars were pre-
seneted by Gene Koehler as consolation
for the low score. .-.-
Emmerich and HUM lead off in the
doubles with 1886. Second and third
places went to Sleepy Eye and the fourth

Self Development.

A town is in some ways like a per-
son. If it amounts to anything it
must be largely self-made. The town
that drifts, like the person that drifts
or the ship that drifts, is not likely
to come to the right harbor If rros-
perity is the haven desired, it will
not be reached without determina-
ton and self guidance. This truism
has been applied to human conduct
so often as to become commonplace,
and would not be repeated here ex-
cept to emphasize the fact that it
applies to communities quite as
much as to individuals.
A town is a problem like child.
1t should not be left to grow up by
itself. Its destiny should be guided
by the wisdom of Its elders. There
is no lack of elders In any town who
have opinions as to what is wrong
with it. They are to be found at the
grocery store, the cigar store and ev-
cry common meeting place. IL these
wiseacres would exercise their per-
spicaci'y in figuring out what would
be good for the town, and then would
all pull together in trying to bring
that good about, the result would be
such matter Of local pride that no
body would want to talk about any
thing else The destiny of a COM
munity, like that of an individual,
can be controlled; the possibilities OF
development and Improvement are
almost unlimited; and it is not only
wisdom but money In the pocket for
citizens to take their town In hand
and try to make 1t amount to some
thing.

The Community Shirt.

The remark was made by one OF
the patriots in the Revolutionary
wan. IF we don't hang toge her,
we shall all hang separately"
How true this is in the business
field!
The buyer OF any commercial
house finds great advantage in
making his purchases with some
continuity and regularity. If he
buys first In one city and then in an
other, no one gets interested to give
him any trade advantages, no one
looks out to see that he Is we'll cared
TOR. II he hangs" to no one, no
one "hangs" to him, and as a mere
drifter, he hangs separately" in
business life.
Precisely the same thing is true of
every family in the purchasing Of
supplies for the home. If certain
supplies are bought by mail order,
others on trips to some more or less
distant city, no one gets interested
In attending to that family's needs.
If the family buys everything posi-
BILE of its home merchants. it makes
business friends in its home stores
who will protect ii from receptions,
and see that it gets its money 8
worth.
The whole business life OF a city
like ours depends on the develop
ment of a community spirit. If a
feeling peryades our people that in
the long run we get the most through
the spirit of cooperating, money will
stay at home, and all our enterprises
will advance, If this spirit does not
prevail. all our enterprises will lam
guish.

THE ER,TOR AND OTHER FOLKS.

Did you ever stop TO consider the

asks the Macon Times. II he should
knock you in his paper you would
nurse a grudge against him to your
grave, and as time rolled by II
would grow in size until you would
| find it as hard to roll as baby ela-
plant soaked in grease. Now, is such
the case with the editor? He hears
that you have ridiculed and run
down his paper, that you have told
people on the streets that il could not
come into your home. And then you
tell him that your daughter has grad
.uated He praises her to the skies,
says she is The JOY and pride Of the
community the smartest thing on
earth and her parents have just cause
to be proud of her. You can mark
your paper "'refused" --stick it back
into the postollice and boast of it to
your associates, humiIating him, If
you can, but If your sons get into
trouble or your daughter misbehaves
in church or elsewhere, rather than
hurt your feelings he suppresses ev-
Ierything connected with the unfortu-
nate case, at the risk of being called
a numbskull who can never get hold
of the news. He hears Of your de-
Inunciation, feels the sting of it all.
and sometimes suffers financial loss
as consequence, but he never uses
the columns Of his paper to get even.
On the other hand IL you have any
thing to boost he will boost 1t for you;
IL honors come your way he takes
pride in heralding ii out, and If death
invades your hone he will go to the
bottom of his heart for tender ex-
pressions of sympathy and condol-
ence for those lett to mourn. You
might sometimes think Of these
things while endeavoring by words
or deeds to belittle the editor and
his usefulness In the community.
You might put higher polish on
your christianity by following the
editors example.

Try our Want Column.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1916-08-02

Mexico than to this country and we
have suffered enough of blood shed,
and humiliation in the eyes of the
world.
A war between the United States
and Mexico was never necessary either
three years ago or now. Three years
ago with the prestige we then en-
joyed as one of the great powers, a
firm word from us would have been
convincing. If we had then insisted
upon the protection of our citizens in
Mexico and the integrity of our Dor
der; if we had not mingled in the
domestic affairs of Mexico; if we had
courageously assumed the duties which
the Monroe Doctrine imposes upon us;
if we had lent aid and encouragement
to neither faction; if we had placed
and kept an embargo on the shipment
of arms and ammunition, there would
have been a brief revolution and a
restoration of order; perhaps not a
constitutional government but gov
eminent of the iron hand. There
would have been no intervention at
Vera Cruz, no punitive expedition and
no cause for one. Our military forces
would not now be sprawled helplessly
and uselessly along the border We
would not now be the object of MeXi-
can contempt and the contempt of
the world
A strong administration now can re-
deem the situation, we believe, with
out bloodshed. The task is more diff
ficult than it was three years ago,
but it is not impossible. But con-
tinuance of our weak and hesitant ad-
ministration will be a continuance of
those disorders which must eventually
end in war.
