Held June "A, rs, 26

the Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association will be held at Sunset
Beach Hotel, Glenwood, June "a,
Is and 26.
Sunset Beach is one of the finest
summer play grounds in the State,
located on the shore Of beautiful
Lake Minnewaska, about four miles
from Glenwood.
Asa Wallace, of the Herald, is the
secretary of the organization and
has the outing arrangements di-
rectly in charge. No attempt has
been made to fix set program. The
fishing season will be in full swing,
the Glenwood Country Club have
placed their splendid golf course at
the disposal of the scribes and their
ladies; the bathing beach is one of
the best in the state. There will be
bridge parties, lovers of tennis can
play to their hearts content and
more than likely the travelling wild
duece will be given a run for the
money.
Saturday evening there will like
ly be a banquet of sorts, as avail
able musical talent from Glenwood
has been placed at the disposal of
the guests. An informal dancing
party may follow.

LocaIBusiness Change
of Great Importance
Louis Borgmann Becomes Sole
Owner of Lux-BOrgman Com
pany of This City

Negotiations were completed yes
terday whereby Louis Bergman
assumes full control and owner
ship of the Lux-Borgmann Imple-
ment Company business in this city.
In February, 1925, Louis Borg
man and Everett Lux, both of Sank
Centre, organized the Lux-Borg-
mann Implement Co., and entered
the implement business at Long
Prairie.
March 81, 1881, the corporation
took over the business of the Borg
mann Implement Co., of this city
and Louis Bergman returned to
Sank Centre and became the resi-
dent manager; Mr.. Lux retained the
management of the Long Prairie
business.
The business will be conducted
in the future under the name of the
Bergman Implement Company.
Louie is the eldest son of County
Commissioner, Ferd Bergman, of
this city. With the exception of
the six years at Long Prairie his
entire life has been spent in Sank
Centre and vicinity. He deservedly
enjoys the confidence of the farm
ers residing in the Sank Centre
area

Rump Democrats
Hold City Rally
Prohibition Denounced and Event
ual Nomination of Al Smith for
President Predicted

Tuesday afternoon a group of
candidates of the Democratic party,
headed by Dan M. Reagan, Man
kato, nominee for Governor of the
rump convention, visited this city
and for an hour conducted an in
teresting meeting at Third and
Main.
Mr.. Reagan and the other speak
ers came out squarely for the re
peal for the 18th amendment and
unhesitatingly proclaimed their
allegiance to Albert A. Smith to be
the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent at the convention to be held
in Chicago the last day of June.
They professed the belief that the
party's standard bearer in 1928
would eventually be choice of his
party again this year. They pro-
nounced Gov. Roosevelt impossible.
In the event Mr.. Roosevelt is
nominated one wonders what their
attitude will be in the final cam
paign. They proclaimed to the
wide, wide world, that they were
not pussyfooters.

Multiplicity of Candidates Is
Bewildering-Attempt
Made to Clarity

Many of the voters, men and wo-
men, are at sea, relative to the
proper procedure of casting their
ballot at next Mondays primary
election.
This is not to be wondered at as
conditions this year will probably
never repeat in an average life
time.
When the voter in the city of
Sank Centre or residing elsewhere
in the Fifth Commissioner district
receives his or her ballots Mon
day they will not be given county
ballot.
The law states that where not
more than two candidates file for
a given office there will not be any
contest at the primaries, both
names automatically finding their
place on the general election bal
lot in November. The only county
office to be elected this year is
Judge of Probate. Judge Himsl
hasn't any opposition. County Com
missioner Ferd Borgmann holds
over. There are only two can
didates for this legislative district.
The state Senator holds over.
These would be the only names ap-
pearing on county ballot which
would be non-partisan hence there
is no necessity of preparing one for

Voters Face Very Serious
Problem at Primary Election

this section.
The Legislature of 1881 made
quite an important change in the
election laws. This year the polls
will open a half hour later at $50
a. M, instead of 900 a. M, and
will close an hour earlier, at 500
instead of 900 p. m.
The residents of the city of Sank
Centre will vote by Wards. All
those residing in the First Ward,
that part of the city on the North
side of Third Street, will cast their
ballot at the Armory, corner of
Third and Elm streets.
Residents of the Second Ward,
all that portion of the city south of
the south side of Third Street will
vote on the first floor of the City
Hall, Pine and Third Streets. Resi-
dents of Sank Centre township will
cast their ballots on the second
floor of the City Hall.
The Judges of election will have
three sets Of ballots in their pos
session-Republican, Farmer-Labor
and Democratic. For the purpose
of illustration, you may desire to
vote for say A. II. Hendrickson, of
this city for Congress, and the bal
ance Republican nominees for Con-
gress. This you cannot do. If a
vote for Mr.. Hendrickson is desired
the only way vote can be cast for
him is to call for a Farmer-Labor
ballot.
What holds true with the congress
sional ballots holds with all of the
state officers.
