DR.. ]. A. DUBOIS WAS
THIRD Man in RACE
ELIMINATED FOR STATE SEN.
ATE AT MONDAYS PRIMAR-
les BY 107 VOTES
HONORED BY NEIGHBORS
GIVEN FINE HOME INDORSE-
MENT-STEIN AND LEMM
THE NOMINEES

Nearly 70 per cent of the voters
of Sank Centre exercised their right
of suffrage at Mondays primaries,
the largest vote ever cast in the his
tory of the city.
The city was divided into districts
the latter part of the week and a
concerted effort was made to poll a
heavy vote for Sank Centre distin-
guished townsman, DIR. J. A. Dubois
candidate for the State Senate. A
close check of the city showed that
there were approximately 1000 vot-
ers living in Sank Centre. The names
of 1,130 were secured. Of the 1851
votes polled DIR. Dubois received
756, splendid tribute to splendid
citizen.
In spite of the splendid vote ac-
corded the doctor in his home COM
munity he was eliminated from the
senatorial race, falling 107 below the
second candidate, Ignatius Lemm of
Melrose, and $50 less than the num-
Der received by the high man, Otto
J. Steien, the Holdingford farmer.
Three things contributed very ma
terially to the defeat of DR.. Dubois.
First and foremost he did not make
any campaign to speak of. He Wis
tied few of the towns of the dis
trict the last week of the campaign.
Second, the fact that he was president
of the First State Bank of this city
was used against him. Lastly the re.
port was diligently circulated in sec
lions of the district where it would
do the most good that he was a men,
Der of the Klu Klux Khan, and that
his active supporters were "Kluxers."
The charges were untrue, of course,
but they were effective.
At no time during the campaign
did the doctor enthuse over his can
didacy. He was willing to serve if
the citizens of the district wanted
him. The result is perfectly satisfac-
tory to him. In fact, he stated to the
Herald Wednesday that IL was a real
relief to know that he would not be

sters did not give Mr.. Schmahl an

gave an indication of Gov. Christian
sons strength when the governor
rolled up majority of 443, Ala of
which came from the city.
The Leach supporters expected to
carry Stearns county but their guess
was faulty, although the race was
close, the governors plurality is BIT.

election in November.

Game Wardens Ordered to
Enforce Fish Regulations
Law Requires That All Shipping
Coupons Must be Made Out
in Ink

The demand for nonresident fish
ing licenses has begun in Minneso-
ia, though there are many who still
persist in fishing without them.
Many non-residents and very often
resident fishermen forget the provi-
sions Of the law while others knowing
ly violate it.
One of the common practices is to
fill out the shipping coupon in PEN
Gil, and thus use the same coupon
several times. During the past week
several convictions have resulted from
the practice Of not making out the
tags in ink. In the future this re-
quirement of the law will be more
strictly enforced.
In the past it has been the policy
of many wardens where non-cesi-
dent is found fishing without license
to allow him to purchase license
rather than bring him to justice.
Hereafter no alternative will be of
fered and he will be promptly brought
into court and be made to pay fine.
Last year $4,000 nonresident IL
censes were sold and according TO re-
ports one million tourists travelled cur
state. 1t is evident that too many
non-residents are using our lakes ano
our fishing without the payment Of
the $500.
Those who have licenses for sale
should inform the non-residents on
the law and give him fair warning to
keep within the law and save money
and trip to the Judge.

Have Majority of $50, 600

The result of Mondays primaries
would indicate that the peak of the
strength of the Farmer-Labor party
in Minnesota has been passed.
Gov. Theodore Christianson has
been renominated for governor on
the Republican ticket with a majority
over Mayor Leach of Minneapolis of
Isl APT. The vote will be increased
somewhat as 257 precincts had not
reported when the compilation was
made Wednesday afternoon.
Magnus Johnson has defeated Tom
Davis the personal injury lawyer of
Minneapolis for the Farmer-Labor
ticket by majority Of 1929.
The total vote polled was surprise
to the leaders Of both parties. 1t
was generally expected that Leach
would carry Minneapolis, but ne lost
his home city by a two to one vote.
The following is the total vote re-
ceived by the four candidates for
governor in 1882 precincts out of
$3.50 in the state: :
Christianson ....... 271,831

Davis .............. 64,086
Christianson's majority over a
combined vote of Leach, Johnson and
Davis, 1902.
All of the present state officials
were renominated except Edward
Stark, state treasurer. He was ap-
pointed to the place by Gov. Chris

fellow.
Things had gone on that way
for nearly q month and Hugo felt
that he was really III love &C last.
Yes, indeed, he VS. crazy to mar.

see how to extricate himself from
the situation he had created: He

he was the prince all the time.
So. finally he suggested to-
Frank that Frank take Carrie out
for a ride one night and tel her
the truth. He knew Frank had
persuasive tongue, and he
thought his friend could play him
up big. He knew Carrie would
!. be flatered to have won q mill

could tell her just how big he,
Hugo, was better than he could
himself.

out Of the idea, but had no luck.
He told Hugo that every man

Hugo was strong for the scheme
he had figured out. So Frank
finally decided he'd have to go
through with it. He never told
Hugo the truth, which was that
he had gotten quite sTnitten with
Carrie himself during their par
ties out together.
But he was loyalty itself to
Hugo's wishes, and so he decided
to go through with it and hope
that Carrie would turn Hugo
down. You see his heart wasn't
in it, but he gave Hugo fair warn

souls were lost. But up on the
bow OF the ship which had struck
the rock first were nine passen-
gers and sailors clinging to the
wreck, buffeted by the storm,
drenched with the waves and
