Minnesota following in the foot
steps of North Dakota has gone on a
wild spree. The voters in their desire
to express resentment against existing
conditions have slashed right and left
at all public officials. Results were
not anticipated. The vets showed
their hand in opposing Kellogg and
Volstead.
Two years ago most of the voters
in Minnesota believed that there was
great danger of radical, socialistic
element gaining control of our state
government. This year the situation
was evidently as serious as in 1920,
but the majority of republicans did
not realize it.
Governor Preus and the whole state
ticket is apparently elected although
by only a comparatively small MAORI
ty. Two years ago Preus carried this
state by $4,000, while the latest re-
ports give him lead of only 1868.
Returns from 2,431 Of 3,479 pre-
cincts give Kellogg LIT 1892; Shipstead,
231 ,47S; Olesen, sc, 1853. Both st. Paul
and Minneapolis gave a majority to
Shipstead. Two hundred of 21O pre-
cincts in Ramsey county gave Kellogg

1928. In 302 of the 348 precincts in

No patriotic program is to be pre-
scented in Princeton on Armistice day
November II, and the banks seem to
be the only business establishments
that will be closed.
Princeton village, however, is going
to celebrate Armisric,, day m FRIDAY
evening when the legion toys will pre-
sent their indoor carnival at the aim
Dry. It would have been held on the
18th if that date had. rot fallen on
Saturday.
The boys have been making great
preparations for this big event. There
will be dancing and all sorts Of amuss-
ments. The auxiliary members are
assisting in furnishing refreshments to
be served at the various booths, so
there will be plenty of good things to
eat
If you want some real sport and a
good evening of fun be sure to attend
the carnival at the armory on the
evening of November 10. Everyone
in the village and the surrounding
community is invited.

RAY CHASE WINS
HIS AUDIENCE
State Auditor Presents Voters in
This Community With Facts
on Tax Question.
BAND FURNISHES MUSIC
Miss Julia Rogers Makes Good I'm
pression; Handles Her Ar
guments Well.

Princeton this year was to have just
one big political rally and that was to
be held on last Saturday evening in
the nrmory In spite of the unfavora
BILE weather and the bad condition of
the roads, d fair-sized crowd assem-
bled in the armory before 8 o'clock.
About 500 were present.
The speakers for the evening were
Miss Julia Rogers of St. Paul and
State Auditor Ray Chase of Anoka.
E. L. Mcmillan presided and intro
dueed the speakers.
A double quartet, consisting of
Maurice Henschel, Joe Mossman, John
Peterson, Charley Umbchocker, Mes
danes H. G. Cooney, M. M. Stroeter,
George Ross and E. L. Mcmillan led
the singing. Mrs. Ben Soule was &C.
companist.
Miss Julia Rogers delivered the first
address. She reviewed the accom-
plishments of the republican party
during the past Is months and showed
just wherein Senator Kellogg had been
of particular service to the people of
his state. She emphasized the i'm
portance of re-electing Mr.. Kellogg.
Ray Chase is a rapid-fre speaker
and he certainly can marshal more
facts concerning taxation before an
audience in given time than any 9TH
er man in the state of Minnesota. Mr..
Chase won his audience Immediately
by paying his opponent, John Casey
of Jordan, high compliment He al
so made an eloquent plea for the peo-
pie of this country to appreciate the
blessings which they can enjoy under
our form of government.
Mr.. Chase then presented facts
showing from what sources our taxes
are derived and for what purposes the
money is spent. He told his audience
that the greater portion of our taxes
is spent on the schools and roads. Mr..
Chase was placing the emphasis on
just the right point in stating that we
must expect to pay for improvements
if we have them.
Ray Chase made hundreds of friends
in this vicinity by his appearance and
the address which he delivered Satur-
day evening. He was almost COM
pletely exhausted by strenuous week
Of campaigning. He had been speak
ing in the interest Of his party; he did
not need to campaign for himself.
Last week he delivered % political adj
dresses. The people in Princeton ap-
preciate the effort he made in coming
to them on last Saturday evening.
They showed their appreciation on
Tuesday by giving him 524 votes as
against SO votes for Deming and so
for Casey.

!. The state ticket Jared but poorly in
Mile Laos county despite the fact that
there were a few bright spots as the
villages Of Isle, Wahkon and Prince
ton. The incomplete returns do not
give one candidate on the republican
ticket majority. With the exception
of Greenbush and Milaca village the
precincts yet to be heard from cast a
comparatively small vote.
Neither the republicans nor nom
partisans can rely upon Milaca.
This year she just about split
her vote equally between the two
parties. Last year she gave Preus a
majority of 1872, but this year she cut
his lead to 81 votes, while she gave
Kellogg a majority Of only rs votes.

In Duluth Kellogg and Shipstead
broke just about even, while Mrs. OLE
sen ran third. The large cities never
have given Kellogg much support. He
was recognized as the candidate Of
the rural districts and when the
country went back on him he Of course
was gone.
The returns from 1892 precincts out
of the s,479 in the state give Preus
225, 1925; Johnson, 210,598; Indrehus,
81 ,407. Preus and Johnson are run
ming very close in Ramsey county.
Two hundred of the 210 precincts give
Preus lead Of little more than 800
votes. 1ndrehus is poor third. Hen
nepin, Preus' own county, has raised
herself to the support of the republi-
can ticket enough to give him $4,000
majority. It is reported Preus will
carry Duluth by a narrow margin
Other partial returns on the state
ticket are as follows:
Lieutenant governor-1,803 pre-
cincts, Collins 1881, siegler al 900,
Bryan 1854.
Secretary Of state, 1893 precincts,

The village constable was, exceed

becomes stern sometimes, and one day
it came to pass that he had to lock
up three tramps.
An hour or two afterward the local

main street and said:
"Where are you hurrying, consta-

PRINCETON UNIT
ELECTS OFFICERS
Farm Bureau Unit Meets at Home OF
John Helm; Officers Elected
for the Next Year.

On Monday evening the members of
the Princeton farm bureau unit met
at the home Of John Helm. About 30
members and visitors were present.
The greater portion Of the business
session was devoted to a consideration
of Amendment No. 1. Mr.. Gebert
read several articles which have ap-
pcared during the last few weeks in
the local newspapers and farm maya
zines. There was little discussion
of the arguments advanced for the
adoption Of the amendment. The gen.
eral sentiment of those present seemed
to be that the amendment would be
of benefit to the farmers.
Mr.. Gebert also read a series of
questions and answers published by
some parties interested in Henry
Ford's Muscle Shoals proposition.
Officers were elected for the ensu-
ing year. There are more than so
members in the unit but only IL were
balloting Monday evening. Some re-
gret was expressed that more men,
bers- were not present, but the condi-
ton of the roads had undoubtedly cut
down the attendance. The following
officers were elected. Director, VIM.
Gebert; vice director, Walter Mark;
secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Charles
Wehrend. It was voted to hold the
next meeting at the home of Fred Egg
CERT at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of
December 6.
After the business session coffee,
sandwiches and cake were served

Mrs. Galley Entertains Girls of Sixties.
On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Galley
entertained the girls Of the sixties,
with Mrs. Mary Rines as hostess. 1t
was rainy, dark day, but the living
room of the Galley home presented a
bright appearance with flowers and
softly shaded lights and a cracking
fire in the crate.
The party was really celebration
of Mrs. Waite Petterson's birthday.
A box of beautiful dollhouse flowers
arrived by special delivery, and boxes
of delicious birthday candy were
passed during the afternoon.
|, Miss Mary Galley gave several vocal
selections in a very pleasing manner
to the delight of an appreciative audi
ence. Mrs. Sinclair, an old time resi-
dent of Princeton, was an invited
guest.
At six o'clock the girls were ushered
into the dining room to partake of a
fine New England dinner. The table
was bright with cut glass and silver
lighted by candles in silver holders,
The centerpiece was of pink rose buds
and ferns, and the place cards were
hand-painted floral designs. The cut
ting of the birthday cake was the
cause of much merriment, as it was
brought in with 10 lighted candles
Waite declared about SO were missing
With such delightful entertainment
the afternoon and evening was all too
short. Each guest before departing
expressed her appreciation of Mrs
Caley's hospitality.
