Renville Co. Confident
Grover Twp. Will Re-
deem Itself June u

same degree.
There is another noteworthy de-
velopment in Renville county. A
way has been found here to over
come the apathy voters have been
exhibiting in most sections of the
state.
It is to put up two full tickets to
be voted upon at the primary for all
the county offices. For three sue
cessive elections the candidates of
the Nonpartisan League for county
offices had no opposition. They
were nominated with endorsement
of the League at the primaries. The
fall election SO far as they were
concerned was a perfunctory affair.
The result was the same as in the
primary.
But the system developed weak
nesses. The county officers became
the organization. They did all the
work. Something Of the old mill
fancy passed from election cam
paigns. Beneficiaries Of the sys-
tenn reasoned that It was not good
politics to have things so one-sided.
Experience bore them out.
Big Vote Certain
Independents hopelessly in the
minority were quick to sense the sit
uation. This year they nominated q
full county ticket. Renefiting by
the mistake Of the League they did
not brand their candidates as Inde-
pendents. But they are for all pur-
poses just that. The result is that
the candidates are proving a most
effective organization to get out the
vote. Renville county will cast a
big vote and will give a big major
ity for the Republican state candi-
dates endorsed by the Nonpartisan
League.
This county joins Ward, the home
county Of Ragnvald Nestos, indie
pendent candidate for United States
senator, on the north. Nestos has
many friends here. The st.unchest
of them in many cases do not con-
slider him as strong as in his cam
paigns for governor. Predictions
are general that Frazier's old-time
majorities will be increased and that
Thoresen and the state candidates
will run up to him.
Frank Vogel, candidate for lieu.
tenant governor, will open the pro.
gressive speaking campaign here
next Monday with q big meeting al
Mouse River park. Mrs. Berta B
Baker will appear with him. A big
reception is being arranged for them
Vogel is especially popular here
Senator Dell Patterson is in charge
Of the arrangements. A RECORD
crowd is expected.
Congressman j. H. Sinclair has I
cinch in this county. He will sweeI
it by big -.lajority.
League Well Organized
The Independents have little or
ganization in Renville county. Tn
League organization will be back il
Its old time form before the primar!
election with captain in every vot
ing precinct and . competent crew
Of bell ringers under him.
The old-time bitterness has dis
appeared here as elsewhere it is dis
appearing in the state. The peopl
are able to reason together. The,
respect the sincerity OF opposing
, viewpoints. There is little chang
from the old days in numerics
strength. There is some trend show
ing the League vote will be bfgge
than ever.
Renville county remains one Q
the staunchest assets of the Repuh
lican group backed bv the Nonparti
san League in the state.
