LOYALTY TICKETS WIN
Liquor Licenses Also Issue At
Elections.

Hutchinson Rebukes Wets-Three
Towns End Drought.

Minneapolis, April 4.-Loyalty and
liquor licenses were issues in several
Minnesota cities Tuesday.
In New Ulm the loyalty candidate
for mayor was elected. Hutchinson
voted to remain dry, Ait to 1S1, in a
contest tinged with the question of
loyalty. Hastings, Kasota and Sleepy
Eye voted wet.
Sought MayoraIty, Made Constable.
New Ulm's election had it's comedy
element. Alfred W. Mueller, Brown
county's representative in the legisla-
ture, was the candidate of adherents
OF DR.. L. A. Frftsche, former mayor,
who was removed by the State Public
Safety commission.
Mueller's name was printed on
stickers which read, For Mayor, AL
fred w. Mueller" New Ulm business
men who are loyal Americans and are
tired of the loyalty issue in New Ulm,
not only rebuked opponents by elect
ing w. d'Eibner mayor by a vote of
7y2 to 5O6, but many of them cut the
words "for mayor" from the Mueller
stickers, pasted the stickers In the
space left for candidates for consta-
BILE, and elected Mueller constable.
Hutchinson's adherence to the dry
side was marked by charges of loyal
citizens that the reopening of the is
sue after the city had been dry doz-
en- years was scheme Of disloyalists
to create dissension. They rebuked
the vets by the largest dry vote in
the city's history.
Hastings Ends Drought.
Hastings, dry for two years, went
wet by 200. A. W. Wilson was elected
mayor. Kasota went wet by IA votes
and A. R. Swenson was chosen presi-
dent Of the village council Sleepy
Eye went wet by 100 votes and re-
elected Mayor Welcome. William

tive Kahn of California ranking de-
partment commander Of the house OF
military affairs committee, has de.
manded an acceleration of war legis.
lation.
Kahn introduced a resolution max
ing military and naval bills preferred
legislation for the rest of the ses-
sion. They are at present submerged
beneath masses of special and non.
essential bills, he said One example
is that the naval appropriation bill
will have to wait its turn under pres.
ent plans until the rivers and harbors
bill is acted on.
Kahn is to appear before the House
rule committee in support of his reso-
luton.
Is Administration Aide.
Significance of Kahn's action lies in
the fact that, although a Republican,
he is the actual representative of the
administration in matters of the first
military Importance. He. is to take
charge of the administration bill fix
ing quotas for the next draft, due to
the opposition to it Of Chairman
Dent of the military committee. This
repeats the experience of the original
draft act which Dent opposed.
Kahn declared that the United
States must begin at once to send
an army to France of 100000 men.
He said when Secretary Baker re.
turned from Europe he would bring
with him plans for a vastly increased
military establishment.
when everyone agrees" says
Kahn, ."that our first task is to win
the war, it seems peculiar that Con-
gress should adopt any other program
than giving military and naval bills
complete right of way.
Would Give Laws Priority.
"My resolution, which I shall ask
the rules committee to act on favor
ably at once, would result in win.
the-war legislation having the same
priority in the House as win-the-war
freight has on the railroads. This
great German drive should bring
Congress sharply to its task. We
should not delude ourselves, America
must furnih the manpower that will
first check this drive and then bring
victory.
Before the Russian collapse,
said frequently that the United
States must put in Europe at once
100000 men. Now I have changed
this figure to 100000 men. America
is the last great untouched source OF
man power.
when the aggressive passes from
the German to the Allied forces, as
it must before we win this war, it is
America who must furnish the masses
Of men to insure victory.

Eternal Wins Richest
Stake Race of Season

Of Daydue, lodged a protest against
Eternal. He claimed that Schuttineer
the rider of Eternal, had grabbed hold
of Daydue's saddle and held him back
when both colts were racing together
The stewards interrogated Schrt-
tlnger, who denied the foul trick.
The stewards thereupon dismissed
the complaint. Of all the thousands o1
men and women who were watching
the race, not one saw Schuttinger grab
Daydue's saddle. Maxey Hirsch, the
trainer of Daydue, admitted this,
Lunsford's claim was one purely OF
bluff" He hoped to win on a dis
qualification the rich prize his horse
was unable to win by merit. Lunsford
deserved heavy fine.

Twenty colts and fillies, the lafgest

pack, and War Marvel and Daydue took
command. They had scarcely obtained
the lead when Eternal shot out of the
punch. He fairly ran away from his
rivals IN the stretch and won easily.
Johren Wins Cup Race
The Saratoga Cup narrowed down tc
match race between H. P. Whitney's
Johren and Andrew Miller's Roamer
The track was heavy from the recent
ram and this was considered unfavor-
able to Roamer. Besides this he was

he having captured it last season. His
race to-day showed vast improvement
