Hauam Asks Recount

A demand for recount of ballots
for United States senator on the Re-
publican ticket at the June 16 prl-
mary has been made. There is an
error, the recount demand alleges, of
over $4,000 votes in favor of Schall.
The June primary resulted in a
total of 80,491 votes for Hallam and
1,701 for Schall.
The charge is made that many
votes for Hallam were not counted !;
that illegal voting took place; that
many votes counted for Schall should
not have been counted and that there
were errors in tabulating votes.
Should the charges be substantial
ed Hallam will be the Republican
candidate for the U. S. Senate.
The Farmer-Labor argument be-
tween Floyd B. Olson, winner over
Tom Davis for the gubernatorial
race is being settled. Davis demand
ed recount. He is getting the re-
count. Olson is getting more votes
than Davis on the check, and if the
results of the check so far are in
dicative of anything then Olson will
be the Farmer-Labor nominee for
governor.

Arnold Family
Killed by Train
PARENTS AND SIX CHILDREN
DIE WHEN TRAIN HITS
CAR.

Eight people were killed and an
other so injured that he may not re-
cover, in an automobile accident which
occurred at Eagle Lake last Thurs
day noon. The verdict of the coron-
ers jury was that death was caused
by the drivers negligence. The car
containing the nine people was struck
by Northwestern train at a grade
crossing near Eagle Lake.
The unfortunate party consisted of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Arnold and their
children of Diamond Bluff, Wisconsin,
who were on their way to Minnesota
for visit with relatives. Both par
ents and six of the children were
killed instantly and one son Luther
Arnold, the sole survivor of the party
is in Mankato hospital so badly in
jured about the back and legs that
his recovery is still very doubtful.
This boy and one brother who re-
mained on the home farm to look
after the stock while the others were
away, are all that remain of this
large family. The car was driven
by the father of the family and the
accident is almost unaccountable as
the crossing was not obstructed.
Confusion Of the driver is the only
apparent explanation. The eight
bodies were taken to Minnesota where
the out-of-door service was held at
the home of Mrs. Arnold's brother.

La Toilette Throws
Hat in Ring
FAMOUS WISCONSIN SENATOR
WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENCY
AS INDEPENDENT.

Robert La Toilette of Wisconsin
and fixture in the U. S. Senate has
decided to run as an Independent
candidate for the presidency. He
long has aspired to that honor and
he now has the chance for "the con-
ference for progressive political ac-
ton" meeting in Cleveland endorsed
his candidacy and will support him
in his race. La Toilette was decid-
edly opposed to a third party so there
will be no third party as far as La
Toilette and "the conference for pro-
gressive political action" is concern
ed. They will wait until 1925 before
the third party is officially launched.
The platform is essentially typi-
cal La Toilette platform. La Toilette
cal La Toilette platform. La Fol
lette's note of acceptance brimmed
over with a severe castigation of
the Republican and Democratic par
ties.
The vice-presidential candidate to
run with La Toilette will be decided
upon later There is no real hope OF
electing La Toilette but his hackers
hope to get enough votes to throw
the election into congress and then
they could really dictate choice fol
neither the Republicans nor the De-
mocrats have enough votes to carry
through.

County Hunt
ers Are Lax

There is a possibly, not at all re-
mote, that thousands of Minnesotans
who love to hunt, may face disap-
pointment next fall when they apply
for their hunting licenses. A ma
jority of Minnesota hunters have fail
ed to report to the Game and Fish
department as to the number of game
birds and animals taken by them last
season. Such report is required by
law and the penalty for failure to
make the return is a refusal to grant
a new license.
While many counties are included
in the list, Redwood County stands
will up in the list of those who have
failed to report. Last fall 822
licenses were issued and only 1877 re-
ports were turned in leaving 625 with
no report. In other words there
stands chance of 625 sportsmen
faced with a license refusal this fall.
This means that for period of one
year, the violaters of the license law,
will have to forego the pleasure of
sallying forth with dog and gun dur
ing the season when the zip and tang
of the crisp fall air urges man on.
1t would not be at all out of the way
to hurry your report in to the proper
authorities.

p. M. at Franklin

The following news item concerning
Raymond Erickson of Franklin is of
interest to his many friends who re-
side here. Mr.. Erickson is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Erickson of Redwood
Falls and has also many acquaint-
ances among the ex-service men of
this locality.
Raymond P. Erickson received his
official commission last week as post
master of the Franklin office, which
was issued June %. Mr.. Erickson
took his civil service examination on
February 9th. He took over the Of
flee on the morning of July 1st, and
by now is well established in his new
position.
"Mr. Erickson has grown to mans
estate in Franklin and is well ac-
quainted with the most of the patrons
OF the postoffice and routes, which
will help him greatly in handling and
distributing of the mails. He is a
pleasant man to meet and fully de-
termined to give the people of Frank
lin the best service possible.
miss Mary Johnson, who has been
assistant in the office for the past
several years, has been retained and
will continue in her former capacity.
Miss Johnson, like Mr.. Erickson has
grown up in Franklin and her ex-
perience in the postoffice will render
her services there invaluable. -

G.. O. p. Shows Loss

Republican are not voting or else
the Farmer-Labor people are going
strength.
In the senatorial primary the Re-
publicans carried 38 and the Farmer
Laborites "a counties. The Farmer
Labor party, in ratio of it's vote to
the Republicans showed a gain in 62
of the 81 counties of the state. Re-
publicans got an increase in 25 coun-
ties.
The Republicans cast heavier vote
than did the, Farmer-Laborites but
then they have Hennepin, Ramsey
and St. Louis county as strongholds.
The Republican leaders can see:
"That the Farmer-Labor party has
become strongly organized in every
county in the state and that its or
ganization is functioning.
"That much Republican organiza-
tion work must be carried on in the
strong Republican territories to bring
out a full party vote in the fall.
"Only thoroughly aroused Repub-
lican party can bring victory next
November"
The post primary election brought
out a surprisingly large number Of
candidates but an alarmingly lack of
interested voters.

J. F. Reed Farm
Bureau Speaks
STATE PRESIDENT DELIVERS
ADDRESS JULY THIRD AT
RACE MEET.

Mr.. J. F. Reed, president of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau spoke in
terestingly of Farmers problems be-
fore a fair sized audience at the
Legionaires Race meet on July 3.
Mr.. Reed emphasized the necessity OF
the people to take part in the func-
tions of government. He said tnat
it is duty to vote even as you nave
a duty in war;" The government he
said was what you make it, whether
it be local, state or national"
In regard to farm prices Mr.. Reed
significantly said that the 1914 prices
for farm products are the same as the
1924 prices but the prices of necessi-
ties for the farmer have risen 50%o.'
He further significantly said that out
of a survey of $4,000 average farms
in the U. S. representing an invest
ment of $16,8O0 each, there was re-
turn of only $716 per farm" This
condition, he contended was decidedly
unfair.
Mr.. Reed closed his talk with a
plea for equality for the farmer. He
aptly said that organized effort,
through the Farm Bureau was the
best method for the farmer to secure
justice and equality.

New ThreSher TO
Be Built at Morgan
INVOLVES NEW PRINCIPLES IN
SIDE OF SEPARATE REVOLU-
TONED BY INVENTION.

John B. Lorge, former resident of
Morgan, has invented new grain
separator and he will build demon
strator at Morgan.
Most of the inside of the thresher
is changed under the Sorge patent.
The new scheme substitutes three
rotary drums, which operate at diff
ferent speeds, for the present vibrat-
ing lattice racks and grain pans.
Mr.. Lorge contends that the straw
will travel faster through the ma
chimes than it enters, preventing the
straw from punching up and the
grain being wasted with the straw.
He further points out that there will
be no inside oiling and no inside
bolts to shake loose; no straw rakes
and grain pans to pound and shake
to pieces; no shaker arms except on
the sieve shoe and that there will be
209o less bearings on his machine
than used on the present day ma
chine.
Mr.. Lorge, living at present in
Canada, will bring out his machine in
the United States and Canada at the
same time. He is an experienced
machine man and he contends that
his invention will revolutionize thresh-
ing.

Death Caused by
Careless Driving
NEW ULM CHILD KILLED; WIN.
SCHLUMPBERGER HELD TO
DECEMBER COURT TERM.

Elwin, the four year old SON of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Dietz of New
Uim, passed away at the Loretto hos
pital June 10Th as the result of in
juries sustained June 18th when he
was struck by a car driven by VIM.
Schlumberger.
Called before a coroner's jury
Schlumpberger testified that he and
his companion, Eugene w. Bushard,
had pulled Buick car into town from
the Bushard bridge and were return
ing home when the accident occurred.
Both young men stated that they saw
1.-THE jhree children playing in the
street, some or 10 feet from the
east boulevard, when they were about
a block away. Schlumpberger honked
his horn repeatedly to warn the kid
dies of their approach, but did not
slacken up speed perceptibly. When
within IL or IA feet of the children,
Edwin, who was standing short dis
tance from the two little girls, with
out warning, started to run across
the street. In an attempt to avoid
hitting the boy, the driver swerved
the car over to the left, as the boy
was standing too near the two other
children to allow him to drive between
them, and the right fender struck the
little fellow on the back of the head,
pushing him aside. Failure of the
brakes to function properly was as
cribed by the boys as the principal
reason why they could not avoid the
accident.
County Attorney Streissguth filed
1o.,
sen, Friday, charging Schlumpberger
with driving an automobile In culp-
ably negligent, careless and reckless
manner, at high and dangerous rate
of speed upon the public streets of
New Ulm, knowing that the brakes
were insufficient, worn out and prac-
tically useless, and that he thereby,
but without premeditated design,
caused the death of Elwin Dietz by
inf1icting a mortal wound upon the
latter's body and person. Justice
Henningsen issued a warrant which
was served upon Schlumpberger by
Sheriff w. ]. Julius, who placed the
defendant under arrest.
Schlumpberger was brought before
the justice, Friday, but the case was
continued until last Wednesday fore
noon, the young man being given his
liberty upon recognizance in the sum
-. of $4,000, furnished by his father and
grandfather. Upon being arraigned,
the defendant waved preliminary ex-
animation and was bound over to the
Brown county district court. Ap-
plication was Immediately made to
District Judge 1. M. Olsen to fix the
amount of bail bonds, which the court
set at $4,000. This surety was
promptly furnished by the young
mans father and grandfather. The
case will no doubt be brought before
the grand jury at the December term
of the district court.

fed that he was not drunk that eve

Fritz and that Fritz was not serving
drinks in the place. When asked
about striking his wife, Cordes stat
ed that he must have done it, while
turning around and that it was not
intentional. He did admit that he
had taken several drinks that day, but
not during the time he was at the
Fritz place. Fritz testified he die

or Wenninger. Mrs. Fritz stated
