County Short In
Bond Purchase
ONLY s575.OOO OF THE $4,000
TAKEN IN REDWOOD co.
AT PRESENT.
COUNTY MUST SPEED UP.
SOLICITORS BUSY URGING PEG
PIE TO TAKE ALLOTMENTS
IN VICTORY SALE.

Redwood County has thus far only
taken $575, 900 of the 100000 Of Vic
tory Bonds which is her allotment IN
the sale which started April Fl. This
lis not a record of which the county
may be proud and the sale SO far can
not be considered decided credit to
the county. That Redwood will make
its quota eventually is probable be-
cause Chairman Duncan and his as
sistants will not let it slack, but it
is regretted that the top cannot be
reached in a shorter time and with less
work on the part of the solicitors.
Mr.. Duncan IN an interview this
morning, stated that he felt that much
of hardness is due to bad road condl-
tions which have made it impossible
for residents of the county to go to
their polling places at the times specl-
fled for signing their cards and have
made it equally impossible for solicit
tors to call on farmers. Returns from
some of the districts are also incom-
.plete because of these same condi-
tions. However Mr.. Duncan admits
that there are some districts IN the
county which are still a long way from
lover" and there are still in existance
some of that species of the genus man
which require a large amount OF per-
suasion to do their plain duty. There
is also apparent on the part of some
the fear that they are going to over
subscribe and that the government
will have more money than it knows
what to do with. Figures show that
this fear is entirely unfunded-if you
want more bonds don't be at all mod
est about telling your committeeman
SO.
F. G. Hubbard and his committee
of local workers are trying to close
their books and are asking all who
have not subscribed to call and do SO
The work lags because of a few who
have not yet met their obligations.
This week should certainly finish the
work for the city and all laggards
should hasten to affix their signatures
to the cards stating heir alloments.
Residents of Redwood Falls canno.
make an excuse of bad roads-it is adj
mitted that the streets have been bad,
at times but they have been Wadeable
at all times since April II and the
weather has not been SO severe as
one might think judging from the
number of residents who are still suf-
fering from cold feet.
Every soldier boy who lands in Red
wood County these days is just one
more argument for the purchase OF
these bonds. They are so delighted
to get home and their families are SC
delighted to get them that it makes
one a bit more anxious that every boy
now in Europe shall be given this same
happiness of an early return home. In
order to get them back the Victory
Bond must be a success and its sue
cess depends entirely upon individual
purchasers and not upon committees.
The campaign closes May 10.

Can Judge CIague
Be Persuaded!
FRIENDS OF REDWOOD FALLS
MAN WOULD SEE HIM CANDI-
DATE FOR CONGRESSMAN.

In the face Of Congressman F. f.
EllWorth's announcement that he viii
be a candidate for Governor in the
1920 campaign, comes the suggestion
from many sources that Judge Frank
Clague of Redwood Falls is the right
person to succeed the Second District
Congressman in his national duties.
The friends and admirers of Mr.. Ga
que, who are legion throughout the
district and the state, have long been
ambitious to have him represent the
district at Washington and the COM
ing campaign seems, to these friends,
to be the psychological time to satisfy
this very justifiable ambition. Judge
Clague has not been interviewed on
the subject and whether he would con-
slider the possibility is matter of
considerable conjecture. However,
men intimate with the situation thru
out the judgeship campaign last year,
have frequently given their opinion
that Mr.. Clague was making the race
purely for patriotic reasons and be-
cause the leading men of the Ninth
Judicial District had impressed him
with the fact that his duty lay therein.
That there are phases of the work of
the judgeship which do not appeal to
Mr.. Clague and that there is a wider
scope for his splendid ability as a
statesman in the duties of Congress
man, all who know him will freely adj
nit. Mr. Clague's long experience as
member of both the Minnesota legis-
lative bodies and his remarkable ex-
perience as one of the leading attor-
neys of the state, would make him in
valuable to his district in case of his
going to Washington. He is without
doubt the logical candidate for Con-
gress and the Gazette is hopeful that
he may be brought to realize that it
is the wish of his district that he shall
announce himself as ready for the
race.

Ellsworth IS Out
For GOyernOrShip
SECOND DISTRICT CONGRESS
MAN ANNOUNCES HIMSELF
IN RACE OF 1920.

( Congressman Franklin F. Ellsworth
of Mankato is the first candidate to
announce himself for the republican
nomination for governor of Minnesota
next year. He came out today in a
statement announcing his retirement
from congress to make the state CAM
paign. The statement announces a
tonnage tax on iron ore as his prin-
cipal issue. 1t also contains critical
comment on Governor. j. A. A. Burn
quist and his private secretary, Gus
tav Linquist.
Mr.. Ellsworth statement in part
follows:
81 shall file for the republican nomi-
nation for governor.
"I have reached this decision after a
careful study of the political situation
in Minnesota and notwithstanding the
fact that I am intensely interested in
the absorbing work of my present pos
ition as representative in congress and
that I most thoroughly appreciate the
wholehearted confidence shown by my
constituents in three elections and feel
justified in the indulgence of pardon
able pride that in my country's great
est emergency | have been able to be
of some service.
"The decision is made in the face of
the very brightest prospect that my
incumbancy as member of congress
would have been maintained for a
number of years, during which time
it seems altogether likely | would
have been diverted but little by seri-
Gus political opposition and that
would thus have been enabled to de-
vote my full energies to my official
duties there and ought reasonably to
expect to be able to be of considera-
bile service in future congresses.
81 have turned aside from the per-
sonal considerations and stepped from
the path of the lesser resistance into q
political forum system with the cock
pits and juggernauts of class discri-
mination, bipartisan confusion and
wornout machine methods, because
and only because have an abiding
faith that by so doing can be of a
greater service to greater number

Girl Scouts Will
Solicit Funds
CITY OF REDWOOD FALLS ASK
ED FOR "A HUNDRED DOL
LARS TO HELP GIRLS.

{ Redwood Falls, like all other cities
in the state, has been asked to do her
share for the needy girls of the state,
the organization back of the move
ment being the Young Women's Chris
ian Association. Since the signing OF
the arnnistice many girls and women
throughout Minnesota have been
thrown out of employment because OF
giving UP their positions to returning
soldiers and the Association has set It
self the enormous task of helping
these girls to find other work and to
help them to live until this other work
is found.
The sum of hundred dollars has
been apportioned to the city OF Red-
wood Falls very small amount for so
worthy a cause and one which there
is small doubt will be raised within
q very short time. The Girl Scouts
of the city have undertaken to collect
this amount under the direction OF
Miss Marie Tolzman who is their lea
der. The drive for these funds viii
be made within very short time and
the citizens are asked to help the girls
in their good work of collecting this
sum.

Legislature Fails to
Make Needed Laws
SESSION CLOSES WITH MANY
THINGS UNDONE AND MUCH
MONEY SPENT.

The 1919 session of the Minnesota
Legislature is not session on the
whole of which the state may be proud.
Much which was hoped for was en-
tirely unaccomplished and an appal-
lingly large amount of money was ap-
propriated and still several things for
which money should have been spent
were entirely neglected.
One of the failures of the session
was its neglect to provide for bonus
for dicharged soldiers and sailors, the
proposed bonus to have been condl-
toned upon the service of the man re
ceiving it. Many states have made
such provision for it's returning men
and it was a popular movement IN
Minnesota. However the legislative
bodies turned it down.
A list of the important bills and
provisions passed during the session
follows
State system of hard roads costing
800 100000.
Ratifying federal prohibition am
endment.
Appropriating s1,8O0,OOo for forest
fire sufferers.

ton.
