NINTH DISTRICT BAR RECON-
MENDS MINNEOTA MAN FOR
NEW JUDGESHIP.

The members of the Ninth District
Bar have taken action to recommend
Attorney A. Gisalson of Minneota for
the new Judge in the district. This
action was taken at meeting of the
members of the district Bar which
was held at New Ulm last Friday
with twenty-five members present
The bill recently passed in the legis-
lator makes it possible for such an
appointment to be made, the work of
the Ninth District being so great that
it has become impossible for one Judge
to handle it.
The New Ulm meeting was featured
by a banquet at which Judge l. M.
Olsen was the host and the bar men,
bers the guests. The attorneys from
Redwood Falls were Judge A. C.
Dolliff, Judge A. r. A. Laudon and
County Attorney G. A. Barnes. Fol-
lowing the banquet an informal dis
cussion of the new judgeship was held
and Mr.. Gislason was the unanimous
choice of those present. The recon-
mendation that he be appointed to the
position will be submitted to Govern
or Preus for his consideration.

County Board
Holds Meeting
APPEAL TO HIGHWAY COMMITS
SION FOR ROAD AID; ROUTINE
BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

Among the matters taken up by
the Commissioners of Redwood County
at their meeting here last week was
the consideration of petition fol-
making the road running north from
Springfield to Morgan a state road
After considerable discussion it was
voted to declare the road State Road
on condition that the funds for the
construction and maintenance of such
a road be appropriated by the State
Highway Commission.
In accordance with this resolution
Commissioners Welter, Ahrends and
Schmeising and Highway Engineer j
F. O'Meara went to st. Paul Monday
having an appointment to take up the
matter with the. State Highway Com
mission Tuesday morning. This road
runs north from Springfield, between
the townships of Brookville and Sun
down, Morgan and Three Lakes
Sherman and Paxton to Trunk High
way No. a. The matter is now entire
ly in the hands of the state commits
sion.

posed bond issue which is now before
the state legislation, these bonds to

Revenue Tax
Declared Certain
TOTAL OF s42,OOO,OOO AS 1928 AP-
PROPRIATIONS SEEN BY
SENATOR ROCKNE.

Appropriations by the 1923 legisla-
ture will range between ~$42, 900 200
and $43,000,O00, A.. j. Rockne, chair
man of the senate finance committee,
estimated Saturday night and this
increase of $8,O0O,OO0 over the 1921
appropriations will call for re-estab-
lishment of a state tax levy for re-
venue purposes, even if the iron ore
tonnage tax is held valid by the
United States supreme court.
A state tax levy for revenue pur-
poses was omitted two years ago. If
the tonnage tax law is knocked out,
$4,000,000 now due will be lost and
that source cannot be counted on for
another two years. But even if the
law is upheld by the high court to
mill tax levy will be necessary.
Appropriation bills are taking final
shape. The state institutions bill is
in conference between the two houses,
with about $8,000,000 included in its
schedule. This is slight increase
over 1921. sr
The state department bill as passed
by the senate totals $8,942, ,983, COM
pared with $7,511,921 granted for the
same activities two years ago.
The educational bill has been franz
ed by the house appropriations COM
mittee, allowing $19,492, 100 without
counting the $1,342,Q0O already ap-
propriated for deficiency in state
school aid. The educational bill two
years ago carried $16,O1O,757. This
bill heads the house calender.
The biggest increases this time are
about $5,500,000 in allowances fol
school aid, which are distributed each
year to common schools of the state
and 100000 more for compensation
to owners of cattle killed after react
ing to the tuberclin test.

BOISE. Idaho. December Idaho
democrats grow more confident every
day as they look TO the 1924 elections,
according TO Robert II. Elder of
Coeurdalene, Idaho's democratic ma
tional committeeman. The democrats
generally make no effort to conceal
slation because the republicans are
lighting among themselves over
Borah," and figure that d republican
light on Senator Borah would mean
more votes for democrats for all Of
fees.
Mr. Elder discredits all talk of a
fusion OF democratic and non-parti-
san progreSsives in the interest of
the democratic national ticket. He
says that Idaho democrats will have
q full ticket in the field and viii
vote for candidates running a plat
form of democratic principles.

the republicans of Idaho are making
no idle bluff in relation TO Senator
Borah. y special correspondent of

Gated Idaho feeling correctly In an

Indiana Finds Klan Big Issue
In 1924 Election of Governor
Lines Sharply Dra,Un in State Race.
Leaders Fight Entrance Into
National Contest.

Robinson OF Indianapolis, but Robln-
son is said to be not enthusiastic over
the prospect of landing the republican
governorship nomination next year.
He would prefer, his friends say, TO
seek the senatorial nomination In
either 1925 or 1928. Robinson, tneil
a youngster fresh from session OF
the state legislature, sought the sen
atorial nomination IN the memorable 2
contest between Senator James r..
Watson and Postmaster General
Harry S. New in 1916, trailing far
behind the leaders.
Some talk has been heard that the
Khan would bring out a candidate for
the democratic nomination. but so far
there are no indications that that will
be- done. Their choice, 1T is said,
would be either l. Ert Slack. formerly
United States district attorney, who
is legal representative for klan
officials in a case now pending in
federal court, or Charles j. Orbison,
formerly federal prohibition enforce
ment officer for Indiana, who Is said
to be high in Klan councils. Slack
recently denied that he would be a
candidate, asserting that he pre-
ferred to wait and seek seat in
the Senate in 1926.
Not In National Race.
Whether the Klan issue will be in
jected in the presidential primary
contest that is expected in this state
between SenatOr-W atson and Senator
Hiram w. Johnson remains to be
seen. Political leaders, especially
those favorable to Watson, are hope
full that it will not. Reports that
the Unity League. an organization
hghting the klan, is getting behind
johnson has worried the Watson
leaders to some extent, because If it
gave the Californian active support
1t might force the klan to also take
an active part as an organization.
Some political observers here go
SO far as to predict that If the Klan
Issue is not taken up by the demo
Gratis the whole question will be
fought out on the republican side OF
the primary. That is, those who are
opposed to the Klan. whether republ-
cans or democrats, will vote for the
republican candidate who represents
their ideas, and the same will be true
Of the Khan forces. There Is nothing
In the law that Will prevent a demo
crat from voting for Il republican IN
the primary, although he will be sup
posed TO support the same ticket in
the fall election.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December l.
Indiana politicians have resigned them
selves to what apparently will be a
contest between the Ku Klux Khan
forces and those opposed to the in
visible empire IN the primary next
May, and are trying to make the
best of what they admit Is a bad
situation. The klan question is one
that affects the republican party
alone at this time, and IL the demo-
Gratis have anything to say the ques-
ton will remain for the republicans
to solve.
The entrance of Mayor Samuel
Lewis Shank of INDIANAPOLIS as a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion Tor governor on an anti-Klan
nouncement of Ed jackson, secretary
OF state, as the klan candidate. has
drawn the lines between the two
forces. Shank, in the quaint Ian
guage he has used so effectively in
his campaigns in INDIANAPOLIS. vows
he 'can whip that feller jackson" and
the secretary is reported to have said
he can defeat Shank, even in In
dlanapolis, where the mayors strength
is admittedly great.

of Anderson, who already has an
nounced on middle the road"
platform. and Edgar p. Bush. a
farmer of Salem. who is expected to
enter the contest soon, will take
many votes from jackson and Shank,
who are expected to devote their at
tentIon to each other.
Jackson Held Strong.
Reports have been current for some
