STATE RACE MUDDLED
Third and Fifth Commissioner
Districts Have Four
Candidates

Redwood county voters will go to
the polls Monday to nominate candl-
dates for county representative and
commissioners from the third and
fifth districts and to aid the state IN
picking 27 candidates from the con-
gressional muddle besides other state
party nominees.
L. J. Goldberg, incumbent; DR.. F.
H. Aldrich and E. T. Ebbesen seek
nomination as representative in the
state legislature from the fourteenth
district in what is likely to be close
and interesting race.
Two years ago Mr.. Goldberg defeat
ed DR.. Aldrich, who was then the in
cumbent, by Al votes after a bitter
campaign. In the primaries that
year, DR.. Aldrich had 2,5O1 votes
while Mr.. Goldberg was second with
1,242 and Joe Beran of Clements ran
third with $50. The vote at the fall
election was Mr.. Goldberg, 3,442; DR..
Aldrich, 1898. DR.. Aldrich ran ahead
outside the county seat but Redwood
Falls turned the tide in favor of Mr..
Goldberg who was then a resident of
the city.
Was Candidate in 80
The third entrant, Mr.. Ebbesen,
was also candidate for office in 1880
when he ran for state senator from
the fourteenth district (Redwood and
Brown counties) in the primaries and
was defeated by Frank F. Romberg
of Sleepy Eye, who later was elected,
and J. R. Keefe of Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Ebbesen, who drew most of his
support from the southern section of
the county where he resides, had sol
votes while Mr.. Keefe had 2,089 and
Mr.. Romberg 1859 in Redwood coun-
ty. F. A. Ruenitz, fourth candidate,
polled 1919 votes in the county.
Mr.. Goldberg recently moved to a
farm near Delhi while DR.. Aldrich is
a Belview physician and Mr.. Ebbesen
operates chick hatchery at Revere.
County commissioner races in two
districts where primaries are neces-
sary are also interesting. In the third
district J. P. Kragh, incumbent, is OPP
posed by Carl Christensen, Andrew
H. Jacoby and Ed. Stefl. In the
fifth district Herman Muetzel who is
now serving on the board, opposes
John Hines, c. j. Scott and D. M.

known in the sections they seek to re-
present.
Many Speak Here
Redwood Falls and Redwood county
have no candidate for congress this
year since Frank Clague, representa-
tive from the second district, did not
file in the muddle resulting from the
federal court decision that the redis-
tricting act passed by the last legis-
lature and vetoed by the governor is
invalid.
Several candidates have visited
here during the campaign in search
of support and two of the Republican
candidates have addressed crowds
by request during the year. c. G.
Selvig of Crookston was the harvest
festival speaker last summer and j.
V. Weber delivered the Memorial
day address.
Mr.. Weber is the first district in
dorsee. He is newspaper publish
er at Slayton and has served in the
state senate. Because of his wide ac-
quaintance, he is expected to poll a
large vote both in the district and
throughout the state. ]. P. Johnson,
Mankato attorney, is also candidate
from this district while Emil Regnier,
Marshall, and C. F. Gaarenstrom,
Fairmont, are Farmer-Labor second
district candidates.

names appear on the primary ballot
