A. D. MCRae
IS Candidate
POPULAR REGISTER OF DEEDS
SEEKS ELECTION TO PRE-
SENT OFFICE.

A. d. McRae, who is serving Red
wood County, as Register of Deeds
filed last week as candidate to sue
ceed himself in his present office.
This announcement gives keen salts
faction to the many business men who
have found OCCASION to use Mr.. Nc
Rae's office and have found it conduct
ed and managed in accord with the
highest possible business efficiency
and Mr.. McRae and his office force al
ways alert to serve the residents of
the County to the best of their ability.
This office is conceded to be one of
the best operated registers offices to
be found anywhere in the state, this
being the unanimous opinion of all
who have had ocassion to use it. The
demands made on the office have been
especially numerous during the past
several months, and the accuracy,
rapidity and neatness with which re-
quired work has been done has met
with the utmost approval of those
making the requests.
Mr.. McRae came to Redwood Falls
from Sanborn where he was editor of
the Sanborn Sentinel for a number of
years. Sanborn has had no reason to
ever feel ashamed of the representa-
tive she sent to the Redwood County
courthouse and Mr.. McRae has a very
loyal following of friends there and
elsewhere Throughout the southern
part of the county. These friends
and his many business associates in
the County feel that the interests of
the office of Register of Deeds will be
best served by keeping Mr.. McRae
as its head.
Mr.. McRae's only opponent at the
present time is Geo. j. Grimm a re-
tired banker of Lamberton who filed
short time ago.

A. c. DOl|iff
for Senator
REDWOOD FALLS ATTORNEY
GETS INTO RACE FOR SENATOR
FROM BRoWN-REDWoOD DIST.

Judge A. C. Dolliff has finally sue
cumbed to the earnest solicitation of
his friends in Brown and Redwood
Counties and has entered the senator
ship race. This decision was only
reached by the Judge after prominent
men from both counties had brought
all possible pressure to bear, stating
that his duty to the district necessit-
ated his becoming a candidate. While
office seeking is not exactly to Mr..
Dolliff's taste and his large law prac-
tice makes anything like a campaign
real sacrifice of personal affairs, it
is admitted that his campaign will be
a real one and that his large and loyal
following will assure his victory at
the June primary election and also at
the finals in November.
Mr.. Dolliff has been resident of
Redwood Falls for the past twenty
six years. During that time he has
not only conducted large and ever
increasing law practice, but he has
had time to take part in the public
and civic enterprises of the communi-
ty and state. Furthermore the Judge
is geographically well located, Brown
County admitting that Redwood Coun-
ty is entitled to the senatorship, an
office which has been filled by
Brown County man since Senator
Clague's retirement several terms
ago. Brown County citizens also adj
nit the fitness of Mr.. Dolliff for the
office and are prophecying his selec-
ton. His mental equipment and
practical experience are both admir-
ably suited for service in the upper
house and his wide acquaintanceship
with members of the Senate and the
House will prove a real asset to this
service.
Judge Dolliff has as his opponents
Senator Romberg of Brown County
who was endorsed by the Non-Par-
tisan Convention held at Springfield
last Saturday and B. C. Schueller OF
New Ulm.

George Barnes
FILES for Office.
MEMBER OF PROMINENT Law
FIRM WOULD BE COUNTY
ATTORNEY.

Attorney George A. Barnes of Red
wood Falls filed last week as candi-
date for the office of attorney of Red
wood County Albert Emerson of
Lamberton, the present holder of the
office, has announced that he will be-
come candidate and it is probable
that these will be the only entrants,
thus eliminating any necessity for a
campaign before the. primaries.
Mr.. Barnes came . Redwood Falls
in 1918, shortly after his return from
overseas service For some time he
maintained his own office, later be-
coming the junior member of the law
firm of Clague and Barnes of which
Congressman Frank Clague is the
senior member. This firm still con-
tinues, with Mr.. Barnes in active
charge during Mr.. Clague's absence
entailed by his duties at Washington.
Before going into the services and fol-
lowing his completion of the law
course at the University of Ann Ar
Dor, Mr.. Barnes read law in the office
of Senator Frank Putnam of Blue
Earth. His association with lawyers
of the calibre of Senator Putnam and
Judge Clague, coupled with his own
marked ability, have already given
him a wide understanding of law pro-
blems and an experience which may
well be envied by man many years
older in the practice.
Mr.. Barnes has become well known
Throughout the County and his friends
are many. He has been an active
worker in all American Legion pro-
jects and was made the commander of
the recently organized Redwood Coun-
ty American Legion Committee. His
interest in all public projects has been
very keen ever since he took up his
residence in the County and this fact,
coupled with his likable personality,
have won him many enthusiastic sup
porters who feel that he will give his
competitor stiff run during the COM
ing campaign.

A. w. Olson
Files for House
GROVE MAN ENTERS
RACE FOR REDWOOD COUN-
TY REPRESENTATIVE.

Many Redwood County residents
are enthusiastically proffering their
support to A. W. Olson Of Walnut
Grove who filed last Saturday as a
candidate for Representative from
Redwood County. This filing was
made at the solicitation of the many
friends of Mr.. Olson who believe him
to be admirably fitted for the office.
While comparatively young man, Mr..
Olson has always taken an active and
forceful part in all public activities
and his ability as an executive as well
as his public spiritedness and progress
siveness have been shown on innum-
erabla occasions. His acquaintance
is wide one and the prophecies of his
success are many.
50 Mr. Olson was born near Walnut
Grove andikas been lifetime resident
of Redwood County. The early years
of his life were spent on farm. In
1905 he went into the farm implement
business in Walnut Grove and since
that time has been engaged in various
business enterprises there. At pre-
sent he is in the real estate business.
He was for many years very active
member of the village council and
since 1912 has acted as the clerk of
the village. In his own community
Mr.. Olson is highly esteemed for his
business integrity and ability, an
esteem which is shared by other sec
tions of the county where he is known.
During the 1919 session of the State
Legislature he served as first assist
ant to the chief Clerk of the House, an
office which he filled with great credit.
Opposing Mr. Olson is C. M. Ben
dixen Of Morgan who has been the
Redwood County member of the
House, with the exception of a single
term, since he was first elected in
1907. Mr.. Bendixen filed April 18.
A third candidate is VIM. Van Horn
of Walnut Groye who filed Monday. :

Six Would Be
County Treasurer
&C. V. EVERETT LATEST ENTRANT
FOR MUCH SOUGHT COUNTY
OFFICE.

C. V. Everett, the present treasurer
of Redwood County filed last week as
a candidate to succeed himself. He
is the sixth man to file for this office
this being the largest number to have
filed for any single office in the Coun-
ty. This record is only exceeded by
the would-be sheriffs of Lyon County
who are even more numerous.
Mr.. Everett is conceded Throughout
the county to be one of the winners
at the June 10 primaries. He is a
seasoned campaigner, has good re-
cord as an efficient officer and has
the advantage of being in soffce. He
has several very good campaigners as
well as popular men opposing him and
what the after primary result will be
is problematical.
The first to file for the office was
n. W. Shoemaker who ran against
Mr.. Everett four years ago and was
defeated at that time. Mr.. Shoemak-
er is making a very active campaign.
Leo. Hammer of Redwood Falls was
another early entrant in the game and
has covered considerable territory.
W. A. Hauck also got in the race
near the beginning and his TRENDS
throughout the county are very active
in his behalf. Mr.. Hauck's long resi-
dence at Seaforth his residence at
Wabasso, and his numerous public ac-
tivities have made hosts Of these fri
ends for him and they are all enthu-
siastic and confident. Mr.. Hauck is
at present busy with his duties as
secretary of the Redwood Falls Mer-
chants Association and of the Red
wood County Agriculture Society and
has not started activities to any great
extent Arthur Falk farmer OF
Underwood township and Otto
Dahmes of Three Lakes are also in
the campaign and state they are there
to fight to the finish. In the mean
time Mr. Everett is wondering what
there is about his office to attract so
much competition while the majority
of his fellow officers in the courthouse
have only one competitor each.
About the only persons who are real
ly happy over the situation are the
newspaper editors who are selling
space for announcements.
