Little Stories of the
 DayFron1 Washington
Democratic Victory In Pennsylvania Regarded As Re markable Victory For President Where Democratic Congressman Is Elected For First Time
 In Fifty Years
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, March 9.-(Special. The result of the election in the Twenty-second Pennsylvania dis trict is regarded by democrats, and probably by republicans, as significant of the attitude of the people towards the league of nations, the President of the United States, and the republi- can fifibuster which featured the con clusion of the Sixty-fifth Congress.
 In that district, no democrat has been sent to Washington in 50 years. Two years ago, E. E. Robbins, deceas- ed, was elected by the republicans with a majority as great IS 5000. In the election last week, John H. Wilson, democrat, was elected by a majority of 400. He had but two blanks Tn his platform. The first was an ex- pression of allegiance to the league of nations. The second was an eX- pression of opposition to and criti-

cism of the "disgraceful" republican fihbuster.
 John J. Fitzgerald of New York, for mer member of Congress. while visit' ing Washington, declared that cleo tion most significant. He thinks that it indicates that the people are not only in support of the league, but in support of the President. He thinks it forshadows the election of a demo- cratic President and Congress two years hence.
 Representative Bankhead Of Ala bama agrees with Mir. Fitzgerald. The Alabama member believes the people in favor of the league. He thinks the constitution as proposed should De amended in certain respects, as it will be when the peace commissioners as whole consider it, but that league with a constitution should be formed

Cash for Poets

From the NeW rtepupfc.
 New York society, the Lyric so- ciety, is willing to pay $5000 for good book of poetry It is willing, indeed, to pay $500 for the three best books of poetry submitted to it before April l, 1919. It is amiably misleading that this offer should be made through the generosity of an American who has asked us to withhold his name" When popular magazines pay as much as $3OO for single lyric, it is not so appallingly generous to pay $500 each for the three best books of poetry sumbitted in com petition. It would be entirely different if the money were to be presented as a prize. But it isn't. It is purchase-mo and a good book of poetry is not dear At $500. The Lyric society goes further in offering itself lowell, ob- iurgation, by declaring that "it has un- dertaken the job of organizing the readers of poetry-how much are you willing to help us?' This is bagman language. Besides, Miss Harriet Mon roe's fire, Miss Amy Lowelrs thunder. cannot so easily be stolen. But. un- graceful as the Lyric society manages to make it's appeal. the young poets may well be excited and encouraged at the mention of any actual prospect of cash.

NEW ULM WINS WITH HELF
OF LEAGUERS.
Three Men From St. Paul Associa-
ton Team Play with Visitors
Score II to S.

Loaded with professional players, in
Guiding three men from the St. Paul
American association team, New Ulm
defeated Fairmont II to at the fair
grounds Friday. The local boys put up
a good scrap but we're outclassed by the
more experienced visitors.
New Ulm has Neishaus, pitcher, Har-
grave, catcher, and Foster from the
St. Paul team, together with first
baseman borrowed from Saltwater, Law
Ter, former University of Minnesota,
star, Earl Morse. of Minneapolis, and
Carlyle, pacific coast Lacquer
Facing this aggregation the Fair
mont nine was outclassed and natur-
ally went down to defeat. Jones pitched
an excellent game despite the odds
against him. FG1rna01at Sentinel
The above was taken from the Fair
mont Sentinel and shows clearly what
severe drubbing the locals gave the
Fairmont boys. OF course, the Sentinel
made our lineup of players somewhat
stronger than they really were but we
sure did have some lineup. The trouble
with the Fairmont boys is that they
"got one slipped over on 'em." As far
as league players were concerned they
had as many if not more than New Ulm.

MODERN STRUCTURE With 1sT
CLASS EQUIPMENT TO
BE ERECTED.
OWNERS HAVE BOUGHT > LOTS
ON SOUTH MINNESOTA
STREET,

81 il q
If present plans do not miscarry New
Ulm will have one of the most modern
and best equipped laundries in the
state Of Minnesota by the first Of next
year. It is the intention of Messrs.
Oswald and Groebner, owners Of the
New Ulm Steam Laundry, to have work
on the structure started at once. They
have bought the two lots south of the
Girg saloon on South Minnesota street,
one of the deals having been closed
during the course Of the week. The
other one is still pending, but will be
closed shortly.
Nevertheless, work on the removal
of the two residences on the site will
be commenced today.
Why Change Is Made.
Although the proprietors of the laun-
dry had been planning to move out of
the old building and locate further up
town they SO far were unable to find
a suitable location for their establish
ment. But the circumstances lately
having become such that they could
not remain any longer in the old place
they decided to buy the real estate on
South Minnesota street and erect an
up-to-date laundry there.
New Machinery.
The front of the new laundry will
be forty feet in length, according to
present plans. The building may be
two stories high and will be equipped with
the most modern and up-to-date machin-
cry giving Messrs. Oswald and Groeb-
ner one of the finest laundries in the
state.
To Build New Shed.
The Hy. Simons Lumber Co., owners
Of the present laundry building, are in
need of more space for the extension of
their plant. They intend to tear down
the back part of the present building
and build new shed there, 100 feet
long and 80 feet wide. The main
building will be used as garage for the
big truck of the firm, according to
c. iB. Hof, manager of the company.
The she'd is to be erected this fall, if
circumstances permit, otherwise early
next spring.

NO EVIDENCE OF CRUELTY.

Among the latest arrivals from over
seas service is Capt. Elmer Cordes who
is spending a furlough Of two weeks IN
New Ulm. He arrived here Tuesday
September %. The captain is another
witness to the fact that the vile and
sordid tales about German atrocities
were nothing but lies manufactured
wholesale by the British propaganda
agents in this country: On his visit
to Northern France and Belgium he was
unable to find any evidence of cruelty on
the part Of the German soldiers and he
was told by the civilians that the con-
querors paid well for everything they
needed. Capt. Cordes will report at
Camp Dodge next week and receive
his discharge.
