Vote at Primary
Election Is Light
Kellogg And Burnquist Nominees
Against LAWYER And Dwyer;
Schmahl Has Walwaway
Rines for Treasurer on Repub-
lican Ticket; Judges Quinn
and Smaller for Justices
Clapp And Lindbergh Lost Early
in Game; Kellogg Conceded
$4,000 Plurality

The vote at the primaries held
Monday was exceptionally light,
only about one-third of the To-
cal voters taking the trouble to
go to the polls and this was
about the ratio of votes cast all
over the state.
Reports from St. Paul ccncede
that Frank B. Kellogg is the Re-
publican nominee for Senator in
Congress, figures at noon Tues
day indicating that he would
have a plurality of $1,000 by the
time all precincts were heard
from. In the 817 precincts from
which returns were air eady in,
Kellogg had 1851, Clapp H.
POP, Eberhart 22,637 and Lind
bergh 9,728. Dan Lawler is the
Democratic nominee for sena-
tor.

The Prayer given by DR.. Joss

The sermon by Rev. Shock was
on true preparedness and was
very helpful to the church peo-
pie. Rev. Shiels of Nor gan had
the entire charge Of the meet

a better one, he was tactful and
pleasing, and was very inspiring
and true in the serious places.
The climax was reached when
DR.. Bailey gave the charge to

quent and powerful, showing
that a scholarly man was before
us, who was familiar with secu-
lar knowledge and at the same

Former Redwood Resident Dies
Friday at Home of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. J. Race

Mrs. Henrietta Patterson died
Friday night, June Is, at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. S.
J. Race, 1915 Sixth St. S. E.,
Minneapolis. Funeral services
were held Sunday, June Is, at
Rochester and interment made
in the family lot there. June
Is was also the sixth anniver-
sary of the burial of Mrs. Pat
terson's husband at Rochester.
Mrs. Patterson had been i'll of
paralysis nearly two weeks. She

paralysis in January but had re-
covered so that she was in COM
paratively good health until the
second stroke June 4.
Mrs. Patterson, who was sew
enty-three years of age, was the

ing near Redwood Falls. Short
ly after his death Mrs. Patter-

MEAT MARKET ROBBED

The Belview meat market was
entered sometime late Friday
evening and thirty-seven dollars
in cash taken. The money was
in the safe which was opened
in a way that would indicate
that the work was not that of
an amateur as the safe was
opened without injury. Entrance
was made to the shop by cut
ting a piece out Of the glass in
the front door and turning the
lock. It is quite apparent from
the evidence that the work was
not done by any local person,
but by some one equipped with
burglars tools and skilled in
their use.

Ed. Hill Struck
By Stray Bullet
Careless Handling of Firearms
Results in Injury Sustained
by Mail Carrier

While returning from his
route Saturday afternoon, E.
Hill, rural mail carrier from
Redwood Falls, was struck in
the forehead by a bullet fired
by some invisible and unknown
person. The shooting occurred
In the close vicinity Of the wa
tertower and Mr.. Hill, dazed con-
siderably by the force of the
shot, continued his way to the
postofice, completing the days
work before going to the Red
wood Falls hospital where sur
gical attention was given his
injury.
The wound made by the shot
is clean-cut, although the theory
Of those attending it is that the
bullet struck only glancing
blow, and the injury is very
minor one. However, the acct
dent is significant of what may
very easily happen if guns are
carried or used carelessly. The
guilty party in this case has
not been discovered, but the
happening should be a lesson re-
curing no repetition.
Mr.. Hill was able to return to
his work Monday morning and
serious complications resulting
from his injury are unlocked
for.

Inspector Makes
Creamery Report
Local Business Ranks with Best
in State in Sanitation, Equip
ment And Output
ALL SCORES HIGH
Scenic City Creamery Compares
Well in National Bureau with
549 Creameries in MINI.

The Scenic City Creamery,
one of the successful business
institutions Of Redwood Falls,
was inspected June Is by mem
Der of the State Dairy and Food
Commission and is rated among
the highest in the state accord
ing to the report sent by the in
spector to Mr.. Farrell, the head
Of the commission. !.
The location, construction and
state Of repair of the creamery
building were all commented up
on very favorably as was the
inside appearance Of the work
rooms and basement, the ma
chinery and equipment. All
these were rated at not more
than two per cent less than a
perfect score and in several cases
were only one per cent below the
perfect score.
The report on the handling of
milk, its testing and the pasteur-
ization and churning processes
was very favorable. All cream is
pasteurized and rendered as
sanitary as human skill and care
can make it.
It may not be known general
ly that the local creamery takes
care Of the cream from 400
COWS, that this cream is brought
by auto trucks or teams over
twenty different routes and that
the weekly output is about $500
pounds, most of which is mar
keted in New York and New yer-
sey. The butter scores 81 out
Of a possible 100 points, a much
higher score than is made by
the average creamery.
The dairy division of the Uni
ted States Bureau Of Animal IN
dustry sent out an interesting
report in May giving the aver
ages of $40 creameries IN Min
nesota for the year 1915, and
comparative statistics for the
Scenic City Creamery were in
Guided in the report. The local
creamery produced 1858
pounds Of butter during the
year, which is very close to the
average amount produced. The
price paid the farmers for but
ter fat also ran within one cent
per pound Of the price averaged
over the state. The cost Of pro-
duction per pound is a trife
higher here than in the average
creamery because of the compe-
tition with cream buyers in the
cities, this competition necessi-
tating longer and expensive
hauls to obtain the cream which
should legitimate'y come to the
local institution. When da:rymen
realize that the "mail-order cream
house" is as much a detriment
to a locality as any other mail
order house, the local institution
will be able and ready to meet
the price given by any other
creamery for cream of equal test.

a GREAT DAY FOR THE SOLID
SOUTH"

To the Editor of the New York Times:
This is great day for the solid
south. The Republican party, inspir-
ed by the vindictive spirit of Thad
Stevens and FAC CHAMBER, crucified
and Inundated us with carpet bag
rule and attempted to DESTROY us DO.
litically with the Force Bill. In the
election they invaded the sanctity of
the Supreme Court for candidate
and fifty years after Appomattox
sought to revive sectional hatred.
The solid south with Il son of old
Virginia has changed all this, and
now in sympathetic and natural al
lance with the great west notifies
New York and the East that the solid
south can no longer be used by Dem
ocratic politicians of that section to
nominate Presidential candidates of
their own choice without regard to the
interests of the rest of the country.
This election sends to the rear pro-
Germans and pro-Jews. pro-Allies and
pro-lrlsh and nr0claims the doctrine
of pro-America for Americans. The
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, | see, still calls us "thc
enemy"
Yes, the south is the enemy of all
sections and all persons, however
small, who attempt to divide our
common countrv by preaching the doc
trine of sectionalism and the supe-
riority of wealth and financial power
over any true American, however
humble he may be.

A GREAT VICTORY AND WON.
DERFUL.

President Wilson's reelection was
great and wonderful victory. Ar
rayed against him was the world, the
flesh and the devil, at home and
abroad. To start with there was a
million and nearly half votes
against him, polled by Roosevelt and
Taft in 1912. He had Wall Street
the railroad presidents, the trusts,
the German vote and the influence of
the German empire all against him.
These two EX-Presidents, Taft and
Roosevelt, stumped the country
against him. He went before the
country on his merits-his record.
He made no apologies, no promises
no strings attached. The people look
ed at the two men, heard what they
had to say, and chose Wilson, who
had something to say backed up by
q record of four years of unprece-
dented happenings, and crucial tests
Hughes, with no record, no policies
only cditicism and predictions of
evil to come. Naturally and wisely
Wilson was chosen. 1t was a great
triumph of true patriotic American
ism. 1t was great and wonderful
victory!

MIR. .SLEMP AND MIR. TRINKLE.

The reelection of Mr.. Slemp is a
mere incident in last weeks election.
And as a matter of fact was no sur
prise to the majority of the electorate
in the district. The Democrats gen
orally find after the election what
the trouble was, which should have
been found out beforehand, if posi-
BILE, and remedied. Mr.. Trinkle now
attributes his defeat to the fact chief.
ly, that at least 1000 Democrats in
the Ninth district had not paid their
polltax, and consequently could moi
vote.
1t would seem only reasonable and
sensible that this fact should have
Eeen known and looked after before
hand. We are all assured that the
Democrats had paid up, and were
qualified to vote. Mr.. Trinkle and
his manager, Mr.. Caldwell, though;
SO for they said so. They evidently
did not know. The Republicans are
never caught SO mapping. They new
er send their candidate into the field
handicapped in this manner nor in any
other manner avoidable. That 2,O0C
Democrats whole county of them
should be disqualified from this pre-.
ventable cause argues lack of or
ganization, Indifference or careless.
ness on the part of the managers in
the different precincts of the coun.
ties. That is all there is to it. Mr.
Trinkle was loaded down with bur.
den and handicap which he nor nc
other man could possibly overcome
The loss of these 1000 votes to Trim
kle was SO many votes gained for
his opponent, which means that the
Democrats defeated themselves. And
it isn't the first time. We make the
mistake of beginning the game too
late. The Republicans are always at
it. When the sun sets on election
day it rises next day upon the mana
gers on the job, preparing for the
next round. They believe in "Pre-
paredness," and they prepare. The
Democrats believe likewise, but it de-
velops too late that they are totally
unprepared. There was no want of
Democratic sentiment" this wear.
Everything was in our favor, and
Democrats voted for Mr.. Trinkle
except that fatal 1000. who could not
vote-enough and more to have elect
ed the ticket Whose fault? That n
number of Republicans were disouali-
ned, too, makes no difference here. IF
the Democrats are to win this dis
trice they must get more votes than
the Republicans. To sit supinely by
and leave out of the count several
thousand good votes every time will
keep the Ninth eternally and right.
fully in the Republican column.

And now comes a story, put out
by the Bluefield Tclegraphs sub-edi-
tor Mt Graham, that the Democrats
tried to, or actually did steal Russell
county for Mr.. Trinkle. No cry or
howl of fraud is ever heard from the
Republicans in those sections where
their candidates are successful. A
like cry comes from certain sections
in West Virginia, where Republican
candidates were defeated. And even
in some States where the vote was
close for Mr.. Wilson, come hints of

MIR. HUGHES REMOVAL FROM
THE BENCH.

Taking it all in all, now that it is
all over, how does Mr.. Hughes stand
before the American people? He
has been regarded, and is still re-
garded, rs gentleman of intellec-
tual ability and of sterling charac-
ter. But now, taking into considera-
ton and putting in the balance many
things he said during the campaign
and the spirit and spite ne exhibited
the conclusion is almost irresistible
that his defeat for the Presidency
was not only n great blessing to the
country, but that his removal from
the high position of Associate Judge
of the Supreme Court is not to be
regretted rs misfortune by any one
except himself.
