The careful study and consideration

The careful study and consideration
which this Company has given to the
situation convinces me that whether

runs, additional facilities, etc, the
present revenues are not ADEQUATE to
take care OF the increased cost.
While this Company feels very
strongly that the existing basis Of pay
yields adequate compensation and
provides favorable working conditions,
1t recognizes that where opinions
differ neither party should reserve TO
itself the exclusive right TO settle
them. Therefore, the offer OF the
railways to refer the pending questions

Clapp for Kellogg

To the voters Of Minnesota:
/ have always depiored ar
raging class against class and
yet we cannot ignore the fact
of the eternal struggle between
the rights of the many to be
safeguarded against the aggres-
sion Of extreme greed and lust
of a few and l believe Frank
Kellogg is genuinely with the
broader equation no matter
along what particular line the
issue may present itself.
His ability which all recognize,
known as he is to the public,
and with his sympathies on the
right side, he will at once just
ly take a high seat in the Amer
lean Senate and will be found
on the right side Of the great
issues which must confront us.
While | do not assume to die
tate how anyone shall vote, yet
so far as my opinion may have
weight, | hope my friends will
give him their loyal support. y

Ladies Present
Play At Armory
"Pine-Hill Ladies Aid" Staged
at Armory Friday Evening at
Eight O'clock

The 'Pine-Hill Ladies Aid"
an entertainment humoresque in
three acts, presented by the
Good Will Circle of the Presby-
terian Church, will be staged at
the Armory Friday night instead
of at the New Dream as was
announced in last weeks Ga
zette.
This change may have been
made because the entertainment
is being entirely managed by
sex which is supposed to be
prone to change, or it may have
been made for the much more
plausible reason, that the Ar
mory stage will better accom-
medate the large cast of thirty
eight people and that the Ar
mory auditorium will accommo-
date more easily the large num-
bers of people who have ex-
pressed their intention Of at
tending.
Practice by the cast is going
on steadily each evening under
the direction of Rev. B. P. Holt,
pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, and every member of
the cast says it is going to be
absolutely the best home talent
play ever staged in Redwood
Falls (and if the cast isn't COM
petent to judge, who is?)
Tickets are being sold at 25c
and 35c each and seats may be
reserved at Lauterbach Bros,
There is no extra charge for
reservation. Proceeds will be
used for the purchase Of light
fixtures for the auditorium of
the church.

Soldiers to Vote
On November 7
Special Session Passes Bill Per-
hitting Boys to Exercise
Franchise Right

At a special session of the
State Legislature held Saturday
of last week, bill was unani-
mously passed, making it pos
sible for the Boys on the Bor-
der to vote at the general cleo
ton November 7. The session,
called by Governor Burnquist
only after a thorough canvass
of the sentiments of senator's,
representatives and the public,
lasted one day, the passage of
the bill taking only a short time.
The bill provides that each
county auditor shall send to Sec
rotary of State J. A. Schmahl,
a list of names, as complete as
possible, of all soldiers from his
county, with the county ballots.
These Mr.. Schmahl turns over
to the commissioner appointed
by Governor Burnquist.
This commissioner, and two
of the soldiers from the county
will act as an election board
Each vote will be accompanied
by an affidavit and the Commits.
sioner places each vote and its
affidavit in a small envelope
which is sealed and marked with
the voters home precinct.
These envelopes are returned
to Mr.. Schmahl who in turn
sends them, still sealed, to the
respective county auditors who
canvass the votes and file then
with the regular precinct re
turns.
This method of procedure vii
cause considerable delay in the
getting of election returns az
the soldiers votes must be re
turned to their home precinct
before there can be any esti
mate of which candidates have
been most favored, and this
means a delay of several day:
in getting the final count.

and at noon Tuesday eleven men
had been found ready to serve,
and DR.. Brey was ordered to

of the defendant, Mr.. Garvey,
these men were drawn by the
coroner, DR.. Brey of Wabas-
