BONDS FOR PAVING VOTED
BY COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

D. B. Caughren and DR.. j. A. Du-
Bots went to st. Cloud Tuesday
where they were joined by Senator
Ahles of Albany and Norbert Bor-
geding of Melrose, the four gentle
men representing Western Stearns
County in meeting with the county
commissioners on the paving project.
The outcome of the meeting was
that bonds were authorized by the
commissioners in the amount Of
$125, 900 to be used for the paving
of the highway from st. Cloud to st.
Joe. By issuing the bonds the coun-
ty receives a like amount in Federal
aid, making a total of $250,000 fol
the work in the eastern end of the
county.
The board announced that it will
authorize an issue of $125,000 adj
ditional bonds and receive $125,000
more in Federal aid for the paving Of
the highway from Sank Centre east
as far as the amount will pay for.
1t is promised that this will be dons
as soon as plans and specifications
for the latter project are completed
by the state highway department.
Two weeks ago Commissioner Bah
cock promised he would send survey
ors to start this work and it is ex-
pected that this crew of. engineers
will be on the job in a very short
time.

in next Mondays election would be
that of real majority of the people
of the state.
If Gov. j. A. o. Preus, the Repub-
ican standard bearer, fails in the
present senatorial contest it will be
entirely because of lack of interest
on the part of Republican voters
throughout the state. Some call the
situation apathetic, but what ever it
is it spells danger and this fact has
so impressed the Preus Voluntary
committee that friends of his excel
lency in every county of the state
have been urged to get busy without
delay. c.. R. Adams, chairman of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee, who resigned as private sec
rotary to Gov. Preus, in order to
give his entire time to the governors
senatorial candidacy is giving every
attention to the apathy feature and
through the medium of letters and
circulars has planned GA Get the
Vote Out" campaign that will be car
ried straight through to election day.
Disinteredness at this particular time
is not unusual as the campaign is
scarce a week old, but in as much as
this is special election and with
only one office at stake and that at
period of the year when both city
and country have other and more
profitable things in mind the great
danger is in it's continuance. All three
claimants for the senatorial vacancy
it might be said are suffering from
this same public inattention. When
Gov. Preus stopped off in the Twin
Cities Sunday following a busy
week filing speaking dates it was
with the knowledge that the week was
not without profit. While a number
Of his speaking dates were non-polit-
ical yet he met and addressed thous-
ands of voters and his receptions were
invariably cordial. His main effort
and that of his managers has been
to bring out into the open several
of his Republican rivals in the late
primary and in two cases he is said
to have been successful. 1t is more
than probable that Oscar Hallan
and Victor L. Power the Iron Range
candidate will make an open appeal
to their primary followers in the gov
errors behalf.
