HUGHESIS STRONG
In SAUk CENTRE
l SPLENDID COMPLIMENTARY
VOTE GIVEN KELLS FOR
STATE LEGISLATURE.
KNUTSON STRENGTH SURPRISE
BOTH WARDS PILE UP LARGE
MAJORITIES FOR ALL REPUB-
LICAN CANDIDATES.

While Sank Centre polled about 80
per cent vote on election day, the peo-
pie did not become unduly excited.
Little knots of farmers and business
men would congregaue on the streets
and banter eacn Otner in a gOOd-na-
tured and friendly manner, but there
were no unseemly outbreaks.
If the entire country had followed
the lead of Sank Centre, it wouio
nave been a hughes landslide in ev-
cry precinct, but. from the very uncer-
tam condition OF affairs this CTnurs-
day) morning, 1T appears that they
did not do so.
Ola StearnS county also surprised
the natives by giving Hughes ma
jority of practically 1,UOO on lnconl-
plete returns. Burnquist, Schmahl
and the rest of the Republican state
ticket were given splendid majorities.
Harold Knutson carried both wards
by sweeping majorities over w. F.
Donohue, democratic candidate for
congress. Incomplete returns indi-
cate that Mr. Donohue will have about
4OO plurality in Stearns county.
Knutson's majority in the district may
go over 5000, as present returns indi-
cate that he has carried every county
in the district except Stearns. The
following is the Sank Centre vote o,
the offices where there was real con-
test:

HUGHES CARRIES
MINNESOTA BY 5000
BIG WILSON LEAD IN CITIES is
OVERCOME BY THE COUN-
TRY DISTRICTS.
RESULT NO LONGER UNCERTAIN
INCOMPLETE RETURNS INDI-
CATE NORTH STAR STATE
STILL REPUBLICAN

st. Paul, Nov 9-After one Of the
most spectacular finishes ever record
ed in the history of state or national
politics, Charles E. Hughes is believ-
ed to be the winner in Minnesota. His
plurality based on returns from 2,505
out of 1923 precincts reached 500.
The total vote was Hughes 163,O8S,
Wilson 1925.
Minnesota finally swung from the
Wilson column to the Hughes stand
ard when Faribault and Goodhue
counties came to his rescue with ma
jorities that overcame the lead of the
president. For hours Wilson main
tanned his lead, although the margin
was cut down gradually.
Republican leaders also are relying
on the soldier vote on the border to
augment the Hughes plurality. About
1000 guardsmen are eligible to vote.
The vote which was taken in Texas by
commissioners will not be announced
until next week.
The estimated majority of $4,000 for
Hughes at the outset was revised un-
til it was cut down to 5000. Then as
the returns dragged, it changed, and
became a question of which would
cross the line winner.
The Republican leaders heaved a
sigh of relief and hopes ran high as
Hughes forged to the front for the
first time in many hours. Faribault
and Goodhue counties returns aug
mented by a few from the rural pre-
cincts of Hennepin brought his plu.
raIity up to SOB, the high water mark.
Despite the loss of their lead, the
Democrats were still hopeful

but there are 5S5 precincts to be heard

BY all odds it is the closest fight

HAVE GREWSOME EXPERIENCE
Local Autoists Assist in Removing.
Wrecked Car From Body of
Dead Man.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lynn Whitson and
MIR. and Mrs. Charles Fiesler had a
grewsome experience while autoing
to Minneapolis last Friday night. AS
they approached the VIGOROUSLY dan-
gerous Devils Corner" between An
Okla and Osseo, they saw big Win
ton Six roadster overturned in the
ditch and investigation revealed
man pinned under the heavy car and
another endeavoring to extricate him.
Whitson and Ficsler Tended their as
sistance but the heavy Winton could
not be budged. After working for
an hour a high-powered Cadillac ar
rived. Whitson had heavy chain in
his machine, which was attached to
the overturned car, and the big CadI-
lac had sufficient power to haul the
Winton off the man underneath. He
was Emil Priebe, x travelling sales
man Of Minneapolis, and was dead
when reached by the rescuers. The
other man was DR.. Irving Mcdonald,
we'll known physician of Minneapolis,
owner of the wrecked car, and who
was driving when the accident occurr-
ed. He admitted he attempted to take
the turn at too fast speed and the
car skidded and turned over twice. He
was thrown out at the first overturn.
Mr.. Whitson said the Winton passed
his car the other side of st. Cloud at
terrific speed. Also that they met the
Winton party later at Elk River, that
DIR. Mcdonald told them he was driv-
ing fast and asked that he be allowed
to take the road ahead of the Whit
son party. The Whitsons and Fies-
lers took in the llinois-Minnesota
football game Saturday and say that
Illinois was superior in all depart
ments. They returned Sunday even

The Herald has realized for some
time that many important social func-
tions were being overlooked in COW
ering the local field. The editor has
not liked this condition of affairs, and
with an eye to improving this import
ant branch of our local service we
have employed Miss Helen Rich to
look after social functions Of all sorts.
We trust that Sank Centre ladies will
be free to call Miss Rich at her home
or at the Herald office and give her
particulars about social affairs in
which they may be interested. The
Herald is always glad Ito publish
names in connection with these events,
the only suggestion in this connection
is that they be given to Miss Rich
as early in the week as is possible.
The editor hopes the ladies will CO.
operate with Miss Rich in making the
social department a splendid success.

FELL FROM LOFT;
HURT, THEN WELL
How a Man Who Landed On Wood
Pile And Was Sore From Head
to Foot Found Quick
Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet
of Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up
into a loft to get some building ma
terial, just as many another man liv-
ing in the country must often do.
Suddenly he slipped and fell. Ten
feet below was pile of wood, knott
ed and gnarled. 1t was a nasty tum-
BILE, and MI. Putnam was injured pain
fully in the back, he was covered with
bruises, and was sore from head to
foot. .
The next day he bought bottle Of
Sloan's Liniment which had been rec
commended to him. Within very few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the lameness had disappeared. He
was an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c., SOC, and $1.OO.

she continued. Judge Bland, I wish
| had arrived at this decision sooner.
The Old Fort would have been such a
lovely site for the orphanagc."
Judge Bland smoothed a forehead
that had grown, with the years, over
the back and sides of his head until it
met retreating fringe of iron grey
hair. His dark eyes fell with tender
interest upon the attractive form of
the woman before him.
81 don't know" he replied. 'T
think the location of the orphanage
superior in some respects. The sur
face of the hill is too rolling for a
playground. Camilla" he lowered
his voice to one of almost parental
affection, 81 hoped you would recon-
slider this"
Her face flushed slightly as she re-
piled, "T know, Judge Bland; I know
how you and fathers friends regard
my action. I have weighed every
thing carefully. 1t is not as though
| could not have another home and,
besides, there are other reasons"
"Well, my dear, houses can be
bought, but homes, such as this, sell
dom. However, your conditions may
preclude an early sale, and meanwhile
if you desire to change your mind, let
me know"
The Judge paced the floor of his
office few moments after Camilla's
departure.
'I wonder what has prompted this
move," he muttered. camilla should
mary. If only" He paused and
gazed at his desk as though seized
with a sudden recollection. "I had
almost forgotten my letter to him." he
said. "I'll write at once and" he
smiled at his own conclusion, "possi-
bly, serve as Cupid's agent at the
same time"
A few weeks later Piety's daughter,
Missouri, weighted with burdens,
followed Camilla to the te-cochere
where Jere awaited with the carriage.
"Take good care of your mother,
Missouri" Camilla called.
"Yessum," was the reply.
Don't forget the day to polish the
furniture"
"No'm."
"And Missouri! Missouri"
That state of humanity had vanish
ed behind a curve in the driveway and
Camilla called in vain.
