This latter referred to the Fairmont
Water Carnival which is to be held at
Fairmont on those dates, when one OF
the greatest water fetes in the state
will be staged on the beautiful lakes
at Fairmont. F. L. McCadden stated
last evening that Fairmont will not
spare any expense or labor to make
this fete one long to be remembered.
After the speaking at the armory
the visitors took in the sights about

They had more to overcome than
you and IT,. he asserted.
Concluding the speaker outlined
briefly his program on questions Of
national Importance.

Of labor" he said. II believe in bust
ness and capital, in private business.
believe also in the rights OF the pub

Attorney Allen declared that it was
matter Of small importance which
candidate in the field represented the
district, so long as the best man was
chosen, who would serve the interests
of the district, state and nation best.
He dwelt briefly on the platforms
which Severt Duea Of Pipestone and
Judge Frank Clague OF Redwood Falls
section Of the district should be rep.
resented Is q small matter also, Mr..
Allen asserted. If Mankato or Pipe
stone, or Redwood Falls or Fairmont
offers the best man he urged that the
voters support that candidate.
Attorney Allen was introduced to the
audience by J. E. Reynolds, who pre-
sided during the evening. Previous to
selection and vocal numbers were
given by Carl Lindsteadt and the
Fairmont octette. Mr.. Allen was given
q warm reception when he opened his
address, and literally applauded when
he closed.
Visitors Came From FaIrmont.
Mankato people had an opportunity
last evening for the first time in over
twenty five years to witness a genuine
political torch light parade, when over
250 Fairmont residents came here on
q special train to boost the candidacy
of their favorite son, Albert r. Allen,
for congress In the second congress
sional district. Many of the political
war horses Of this city remarked that
it looked like the good old days In
politics to again see such parade.
The special train carrying the Allen
boosters to this city did not arrive
until about nine o'clock. They were
headed by the Fairmont band of thir-
ty- five pieces, under the leadership OF
the manager Of the band, hustled the
boosters into line and torches were
lighted together with red hare lights.
The line Of march was taken up on
Main street continued south on Front
street to Jackson thence to Second
and back to. Front and north to the
armory where Mr.. Allen spoke to
very large audience. Hundreds of peo-
pie had gathered on the sidewalks to
witness the parade, which was large
ly taken part in by Fairmont women.
The old town certainly looked good
with the parade lighted up by the
torches and flames.
At intervals throughout the parade
were banners hearing the following
inscriptions:

AMENDS THE FRANCHISE
Company Will Not Be Forced to
Pay For Paving Between
Rails f..

North Mankato village council held
q meeting last night at which the
Mankato Electric Traction company
was granted an amended franchise,
which will relieve the company from
the burden of paving between the
rails Of its tracks, when the lines are
extended across the river to that vii
lage, which is expected to be some
time between now and next fall. Hen
ny Robel, ST., appeared before the
council in behalf of the street car
company and explained that If the
company were relieved of this burden,
it would be in better position to ex-
tend it's lines to the village. This
suggestion met with favoE, and the
the amended charter as stated. There
is a campaign now on in the village
for stock subscriptions to the COM
pany. The total amount of these sub
scriptions is $4,000, one-half of
which has already been raised. The
people Of North Mankato realizing
the importance Of having a car line
running to the village, are respond
ing literally to solicitors for stock,
who feel confident that it will not
be long until full quota has been sub
scribed. 1t is the earnest desire of
every resident Of the village to have
street cars running into the village
before snow flies next fall.
Village Councilman Patrick Kelly,
elected last spring, but who later
moved to Mankato, handed in his res
ignation to the council last night.
This resignation was accepted with
regret, but owing to Mr.. Kelly's
non residence in the village nothing
else could be done. Following the
resignation of Councilman Kelly,
Thomas Smith, one Of the oldest res
idents of the village was unanimously
elected to fill the vacancy caused by
Mr.. Kelly's resignation.
Representatives Of water meter
companies were present, and showed
their equipment, but the matter Of
purchase will be taken under consid-
GRAFTON for some time to come.
Petitions for the extension of sewer
and water mains on Park avenue
were accepted.

The New Ulm Journal says: I'VE
trust the rumors of DR.. L. A. Frit-
sche's withdrawal from the race as
a candidate for the republican nom
nation for governor are unfounded.
There is a decided sentiment to have
real tryout in the state of the prin.
ciples advocated by him, but some OF
his ardent admirers are rather reluc-
tant to force the issue and advocate
a withdrawal. Whether the doctor will
allow the voters to make diagnosis
of his case remains to be SEEN"

SCOTLAND GOING DRY

Would you believe it? The land
of Bobby Burns is going dry. Pro
hibition sentiment in Scotland is
demonstrating such a hold upon the
convictions Of the people that it is
freely predicted that nearly the en-
tire country will go dry before the
end of the year. A special correspon
dent of The London Daily Express,
writing from Dumfries, reports the
situation thus: Robert Burns lived
here. His statue stands in the High
street, erected by grateful fellow
townsmen. 1t would seem, therefore,
if example has any power and ad-
miration any weight, that Dumfries
should be the last place in Scotland
to capitulate to the Temperance Act.
"Yet they tell me that half the
people in Dumfries, and three quar-
tiers in it's suburb of Maxwell town,
will vote dry when the nolicence poll
comes round. Remember, this is the
largest borough in the Border coun-
ty, the only place of any Importance
near England. This proximity to
England is one of the reasons why
the fate of Dumfries at the present
moment looks certain. The oppon-
ents of dryness feel that if the
worst really happens they can easily
dash across the boundary to pur-
chase forgetfulness.
There are in Dumfries fifty three
licensed premises to 10000 people,
and the liquor bill is proportionately
heavy. The temperance party is like
wise proportionately strong. All sec
tons are represented on the no. IL
license citizens committee. A gro
Ger is the chairman, a builder and a
chemist are vice chairmen, with a
solicitor as secretary, and a large
leaven of trade unionists among the
ordinary members. They are doing
more than canvass the electors for
votes; they are looking after the
dodgers, sons and daughters of house
holders favorable to prohibition who
ought to be on the voters roll and
are not yet placed there.
The influence of all the churches
ia behind the citizens committee
This action of the churches, which
is general throughout Scotland, has
brought about a counter move by
the trade defense associations. They
are applying that church and chapel
halls, hitherto excused from rates il
used for purposes Of public worship
shall be assessed by local authori-
ties on the ground that they are be-
ing used for entertainments and po-
litical meetings in connection with
the Pussyfoot movement.
"The no-license campaign is be-
ing theoretically pursued in the
Lowland county districts. Places
which may easily go dry are Castle

MIR. HOOVER AND SUGAR

To put q quietus on a false story
that was being circulated about Her
bert Hoover and his connection with
the Cuban sugar crop-which the
United states did not purchase
George A. Zabriskie, president Of the
United States sugar equalization
board, writes an interesting commun-
ication. The letter is in reply to one
which was written by woman and
published in a st. Paul daily newspa-
per.
Mr.. Zabriskie, quoting the lady's
letter, which advised housewives that
It was on Mr.. Hoover's advice that the
1920 Cuban sugar crop was not pur-
chased by the United States and that
the failure to buy it cost the Ameri-
can people somewhere around $780,
100000; that seven members Of the
sugar equalization board urged Presi-
dent Wilson to buy and that one men,
Der, Mr.. Herbert Hoover, advised
against the purchase Of the Cuban
crop.
Mr.. Zabriskie writes that there
was one member "of the board
who did not think that the govern
ment should continue the sugar bust
ness after the period of war was
over, but it was not Mr.. Hoover. He
agreed with the other members of the
board that as a matter of good bust
ness and to assure the American peo-
pie a supply Of sugar at a reasonable
price we ought to purchase the 1920
Cuban crop" Thus Is a false report
concerning Mr.. Hoover corrected.

Sonora Is Now Firmly In the

Washington, May A. Relief was
shown both in government circles
and by revolutionary agents here to-
day when it became known that Jua-
rez, Mexico, where revolutionary
fighting always has been q potential
international danger. had been taken
by the rebels without = fight. While
preparations for the safeguarding of
Americans at east coast ports of
Mexico by the dispatch Of additional
naval units went forward and Car
ranzas reply to the sharp represen-
tations made by the government re-
garding the murder OF two more
Americans near Mexico city was
awaited. The chief interest appear
ed to be in the modified military
plans it was assumed the occupation
Of the border town would cause reb-
Ell leaders to adopt.
Rebel Gains Larger.
Until now the rebels have sue
most half his territory without a
battle, but military men here who
have watched the developments of
the revolution assume q few stubborn
contests are inevitable unless avert
ed by further OBJECTIONS In the fed
eral forces. Mexican agents here
persist in their assertions that furth-
er cases of government troops de-
clining battle will hasten the end of
their struggle.
Notwithstanding the rapid prog
ress the rebels have made, however,
there has been nothing In the reports
received here that has caused Ameri;
can officers to believe Carranza will
be forced to surrender or run for a
considerable period Of time. An in
creased restriction Of his zone Of op-
erations was regarded as not unlikely
through the cutting Of all his lines
Of communication both the north and
to the sea coast, but even then, they
indicated, loyal, though reduced
army could hold its own for many
