STATES BEST
VOTER is DEAD
AT TI1VERNE

Continued from first page.)
April. Mr.. LaDue was prominent in
Democratic circles and was elected
to the state senate on the Democratic
ticket from this district in 1892. He
also served on the Chicago worlds
fair commission.
Unflagging interest in the affairs of
state, and nation enabled Jay LaDue,
one of Minnesota's most picturesque
characters, to attain not only the
honor of senatorship in the states
legislature, but the additional fame
of having cast more presidential votes
than any person in Minnesota.
Mr.. LaDue took great pride in his
record of voting and with group Of
political comrades about him, it was
his delight to recount the conditions
under which he cast his first vote for
Lewis Cass in 1848. He never voted
for any candidate but Democrat and
was proud of it."
Another phase Of life Mr.. LaDue
was extremely interested in was horse
racing. He once owned a fine stable
of sleek, fast haress horses and dur
ing his career as an owner, sold
famous mare, polly" to the Car of
Russia for good price. Next to men
he loved horses.
Mr.. LaDue also was the oldest man
in Rock County. He was born in
Chautauqua County, New York, April
T., 1927, and came to Minnesota 80
years later.
When he hardened to the romantic
call of the west in 1857 he left his ma
tive home and journeyed to La Crosse,
Wis, taking a steamboat high
stacked, side-wheeler-up the Mississ-
ippi to Red Wing. BY stage he trav-
eled through the valleys and over the
Indian inhabited bluffs
and hills to Rochester.
At Red Wing Mr.. LaDue engaged
in merchandising and grain buying
under the name of LaDue & Leet.
Afterward Mr.. LaDue travelled for
Is years in the dry good trade, rep
resenting New York firm. On his
perigrinations about the country, Mr..
LaDue added scores of friends to an
already large list.

SPRING BRINGS
HOME DEMAND

Arrival of real spring weather,
albeit a trifle delayed this year.
has brought the "own-your-own
home idea sharply to the fore
front in Washington, according to
officials Of Maddux, Marshall, Moss
and Mallory, realtors. The demand
for homes, especially of the subur-
ban type, is growing by leaps and
bounds, they point out.
4The average layman would be
astonished to learn the number OF
neonle that visit Edgemoor, Bat
fery Park and Garrett Park every
day" said Major Maddux, president
OF the company, yesterday. I'VE
have inquiries for everything from
q modest home for the salaried
man to an estate for the independ-
entIv wealthy citizen who seeks
rural ouietude with city conven-
fences. and, thanks to our diversi-
fled holdings, we are able to ac-
commodate all classes Of inquirers.
ssIn Edgemoor, for instance, we
still have a few large plots OF
wooded grounds, suitable tor any
kind of home or even palace man
would ever conceive. And right in
this same section we have lots and
homes within the means of the
saIaried man, and each has all city
conveniences.
While we have no lots of our
own in Battery Park, we have Q
few for resale and contractors are
starting work on the building Of
20 homes in that community. and
we, of course. will have the sale
OF those houses.

priced home and to give the man

have taken over Garrett Park,
