PLURALITY OF 13l
About TwO-Thirds of City's
Vote POlled at Tuesdays
Election
HOIDALE SCHALL CLOSE
County Attorney VIM. Wood
Has Close Call in Todd
Other Returns

Sank Centre, usually a staunch
Republican balliwick, Tuesday fell
in line with the upset in almost
every other precinct in the state by
given Farmer-Labor candidate
Floyd Olson a strong plurality over
State Auditor Ray p. Chase, Re-
publican candidate for governor.
There appeared to be repid crys-
talizing of Olson sentiment in this
city the last 10 days preceding
election.
All Of the candidates on the
Farmer-Labor ticket received in
creasing votes in this city. Jos. H.
Himsl, Stearns county Judge of
Probate and Farmer-Labor candi-
date for Attorney General, was
given a nice complimentary vote
and carried the city by a slight
margin.
1t was quite generally expected
that Einar Hoidale, Democratic
candidate for United States Senator
would carry the city by substan-
tial margin. His total plurality in
the city over Senator Schall was
four.
Aside from Governor, United
States Senator and Attorney Gen.
eral, all of the rest of the Republi-
can candidates on the State ticket
were given substantial pluralities.
The vote in Sank Centre was less
than 800, about 500 short of a COM
plete vote.
Ben H. Otte, we'll known farmer
residing just east of the city and
candidate for Representative, was
given a plurality in the city of LOT
over Zeno Moser, present incum-
bent and candidate for reelection.
All of the present county officers
were given substantial majorities
over their opponents except Sheriff
Schooner and County Surveyor Sam
Chute. Ed Brick, former chief Of
police of st. Cloud, lead Mr..
Schooner by IT'S in the city. M. B.
Lang, former city surveyor of st.
Cloud, and anew entry in politics,
had a plurality in this city over
Mr.. Chute Of 232.
Todd County
Todd county, usually buiwark
of Republicanism, gave Floyd Oh
son, Hennepin County Attorney,
and Farmer-Labor Candidate for
Governor a plurality of SIT over
Ray Chase, Republican.
The Herald did not receive the
totals of the vote on Schall and
Hoidale.
Richard Gardner carried Todd
county for State Senator over Mr..
Peterson, his Wadena county OPP
ponent. His plurality in Todd is i'm
in excess of the total vote of Wa
dena. Mr.. Gardner is well known
lawyer residing at Staples.
Joyce Lewis. who represented
Todd county in the State Legisla-
ture two years ago, and a candi-
date for reelection, was defeated
by a small majority.
Nick Troug, commissioner for the
Fifth district which includes Kan
dota and adjacent townships, was
defeated by Mr.. Bisel, former COM
missioner, by one vote, on COM
plete unofficial returns.
Commissioner VIM. Weiske, of
the Second district, was reelected
by majority of %.
William Wood, who has served
Todd as county attorney very eff
ficiently for several years, defeated
his opponent by the narrow mar
gin of nine votes.

lated with the Woman's I'm

Sank Centre Boy Has Made
Decidedly Good in Chicago
Francis L. BOutel Was Active Can
didate for Assessor of City
of Chicago

The following story taken fror
he Chicago Tribune of recer
late and devoted to Francis L. Boz
ell, formerly of this city, son c
Tohn Boutell, will be of interest t
many Herald readers:
Among the ex-newsboys con-
verted to politics is Francis L.
Boutell, who put himself
through school by selling pa
pers in Sank Centre, Mimi, the
original Gopher Prairie" of
Sinclair Lewis novel, Main
Street" He is a Republican
nominee for assessor, and in
early life he worked at quite
an assortment of Jobs to get an
education. .-=s-~----
Mr.. Boutell is a native of
North Dakota, born in Wahpe-
ton in 1890. He was graduated
from the University of Minneso-
ia in 1913, after spending a
vacation wiping engines in the
roundhouse at Staples, MINI.
When he got out of college
Boutell went to Canada and
sold real estate during the sum-
mer of 1913, and when the Win
nipeg boom broke he worked
with a threshing crew at Bran
don, Manitoba. He was grad
uated from the law school of
the University of Chicago in
1915, and while working up a
practice he lectured with fea-
ture motion pictures and book
ed movies on the side. In those
days he frequently had to walk
to save carfare. He was draft
ed soon afterward and began
his law practice when dis
charged from the army.
For a time Mr.. Bouetl was an
assistant attorney general of
Illinois, $4,000, and in 1925 he
was elected alderman of the
48th ward.
During his term he got safety
islands for street car passeng-
ers in his ward and obtained
the first new street lights in
stalled in several years. He had
Wilson avenue made a thorough
street.
In politics Boutell has been of
the Brundage group. He was
elected to the county board four
years ago and initiated the
movement in the board which
eliminated in the passage of
a DILL at Springfield adding
100000 a year to state mothers
pension fund. Later he got a
state appropriation of 100000
to be distributed among the
various counties for local
mothers pensions.
Boutell started the move for
grade separations on the high
was of Cook county, and one
Improvement he boasts of is the
100000 grade separation at
Dempster street and Milwau-
kee avenue, now under con-
struction.
He initiated the movement
for better traffic control on 40
foot express highways. A re-
solution now pending before
the county board instructs the
states attorney to prepare
amendments to the state traf-
fic laws establishing a mini
mum speed of Is miles an hour
on 40 foot highways and re-
quiring vehicles to keep to the
outer lane except when passing
the car ahead.
