County Politics
Arouse Interest
COUNTY INTEREST CENTERS ON
REPRESENTATIVE AND JUDGE
OF PROBATE.

Residents of Redwood County are
gradually awakening to the fact that
they must vote, at the coming Novem-
ber elections, for Redwood County
men and to fill several county Offices.
Up to the last week or so there has
been little interest displayed in the
county politics, this legarthy being
largely due to the fact of candidates
themselves doing little or nothing in
the way of active campaigns. Very
recently however, there have been
signs of activity all over the County
and consequently the voters are be-
ginning to look about and ''pick their
man..
Congressman.
The leader of the Redwood County
men seeking office is Frank Clague,
representative in Congress from the
Second Minnesota District. Mr..
Clague is seeking reelection for his
third term, and that he will be elect
ed by an amazing majority is conced-
ed not only in his own county but all
over the district.
Going to Congress with a splendid
background of achievement as men,
Der of the Minnesota House and Sem
ate, and as District Judge of this Dis
trict, Mr.. Clague has won an enviable
reputation as the hardest worker in
Congress and ranks high among those
members who stand for efficiency
and honesty of service. He has al
ways fought, both as voter on the
floor of the House and as a prominent
member of the Agricultural and other
important committees, for the best
interest of the farmers of the North
west. His only competitor is Mr..
Swanjord, member of the Farmer
Labor party. Practically all the vot-
ers throughout Mr.. Clague's district
are unit in their wish and expecta-
tion that he shall succeed himself in
Congress.
Representative.
The office of Representative OF
Redwood County is sought by DR.. F.
H. Aldrich of Belview who has wide
mountaineering among the residents
of the County and is putting forward
an active campaign in which he is
receiving the encouragement and
support of a large number of voters.
DR.. Aldrich is popular member OF
the American Legion, has served in
several public capacities in his own
community with considerable effect
ency and force and gives promise of
being an active and competent MEM
ber of the State House in case OF his
election. The fact that "Docs" plea
SAINT personality makes him favorlte
with those he meets and that he is
fearless in expressing his views on
public questions augers well Tor MS
election.
DR.. Aldrich's opponent for the Of
flee is C. H. Frederiksen of Brook
vile. former member of the Redwood
County Board Mr.. Frederiksen is a
farmer, has always taken an active
part in the politics of his own locality
and enjoys considerable acqualnt-
anceship in that section of. the coun-
ty.
M. Kramer, representative-at-large
for Brown and Redwood counties, has
no opposition.
Judge of Probate.
Attorney N. R. Ryerson of Red
wood Falls is seeking the office OF
Judge of Probate, opposing Judge A
r. A. Laudon who has efficiently
served in this office for the past four
teen years. This is one of the most
interesting contests to residents Oh
the County since both candidates are
popular both among their fellow at
torneys and with the general public
and both have all the necessary gu
affiliations to fill the office well.
Mr.. Laudon was born in Redwood
County about fifty years ago and has
been a practicing attorney for more
than quarter of century. His long
term of service fits him to fill the Of
flee well since he thoroughly under
stands the technical matters with
which the probating of estates anC
-other duties of the office are concern
ed.
On the other hand Mr.. Ryerson i.
we'll qualified by reason of his Law
education, received in the Universit!
of Valparaiso where he took his de
gree as Bachelor of Science and a
the st. Paul College of Law. H,
has practiced law with much success
since 1918 the last few years of thi!
service being in Redwood Falls. Mr.
Ryerson was in service during tn,
World War and is member of tn,
American Legion. Both men ar
competent, popular and qualified; an,
both are putting up clean, straight
forward campaigns based solely OF
their fitness for office. The outcom,
is q matter of considerable interest.
