stoned as Captain in the United

for Fort Oglethorpe, Ca, where he
will join the medical corps and train
for active overseas service for which
he enlisted several months ago. DIR.
Finn, known better throughout Red
wood county and vicinity as "Tom"
or "Doc," has been anxious to get
into The service since the declaration
of war and has neglected nothing
which would further This purpose. He
leaves a splendid practise which he
has acquired as member of the
partnership of Pease & Finn, with
which he has been the junior men,
Der for the past seven years. During
the past year DR.. Finn has been the
examining physician on The local
draft board, has constantly sacrificed
his own interests for this work and
other patriotic work which he was
called upon to do, and has assisted
.he government in every way posi-
BILE. Redwood Falls and surrounding
territory is deeply in his debt for
much past accomplishment and upon
his return he will undoubtedly find
that place in both his practice and in
the affection Of his townsmen has
been kept open for him. Captain
Finn is the second young physician
to leave Redwood Falls for military
service, DR.. H. O. McPheeters, now
Lieutenant McPheeters, having left

Falls less than a year, he had made
hosts Of friends here, and the city
hopes that both these young men
may return soon to take the place
each has made for himself in the life
Of the community.

follows:

stock 1. The Democratic vote was
extremely light over the entire coun-
ty, in seven precincts reporting only
Is votes were cast, for Comstock and
IL for Wheaton.
OTHER SECTIONS
Reports are .gradually coming in
from other sections Of the state that
indicate What the state is safely
Burnquist'ss and tina. the only result
of the Nelson-P PETERSON contest is to
show up some yellow Minnesotans,
who would vote for man facing
prison sentence on the charge Of dis
loyalty. From the Twin Cities comes
the report that Burnquist will carry
the state by from 10000 to 10000.
Van Lear, the socialist mayor Of
Minneapolis will contest the election,
with Meyers who has proved the
strongest of .he loyalist candidates.
Lundeen will be opposed as Con-
gresham from the Minneapolis dis
trict by Newton, also loyalist can
didate,
Lyon county has been considered
one of the .strongholds of the nom
partisan league but reported early
4Lo4
precincts still to hear from, the
county gave Burnquist a 1900 lead
over Lindberg. Probably the Lind
berg supporters in the county read
the last issue Of the Lyon County
Reporter and changed their minds!
BROWN WRONG
Brown county, according to re-
ports and rumors, is not neighbor
Of which Redwood Falls is proud.
Sixteen out Of the 26 precincts gave
early reports on the governor and
senator questions. Lindberg led .he
county by 1900 to Burnquist's 800,
and Peterson carried the county over
Nelson. In the city of New Ulm
Burnquist was given 200 votes to
Lindbergs 300 and Peterson won out
by 200 over Nelson.
NEW ULM PUNISHED
1t is already understood in the
Twin Cities that the State Safety
Commission considers this city a
menace to the state and tina. in all
probability it's city charter will be
revoked and the city put under mar
tial rule. 1t is also reported that
breweries and saloons in this city
will be closed as soon as the COM
mission assumes control of it. Just
what the outcome of the city's at
titude as shown by it's vote will be
is not known but the prospects for
New Ulm are not particularly bright
RENVILLE
Renville gave Burnquist lead of
500 in 20 precincts out of %. Olivia
went strongly loyalist and is to be
commended. One Of the county con-
tests of Renville, that Of county au-
ditor resulted in the nomination of
the league candidate Schmidt, who
will contest the general election with
Paulson, a young man spoken OF
very favorably by all who know him.
How close the contest is The Ga
