TWO AMENDMENTS
GET LARGE VOTES

With 80 of 43 precincts tabulated,
Redwood county apparently voted
"no" on one of the proposed state
amendments, was strongly favoring
two and the fate Of two others was
in doubt as far as the county was
concerned.
The first, which has to do with
roads, was not favored, the vote being
1888 yes and 2,379 no. The second
allowing taxation Of rural credits
lands was favored 1885 to 1928 while
the third, on exemption of household
goods and farm machinery from tax
alton, was approved 5000 to 1,117.
The fourth, urged by sportsmen, to
allow trading Of state and federal
waste lands was favored 1908 to
1,472 but with many not voting on
the subject, might fail Of passage.
The fifth, on taxing school property,
was in even graver danger although
favored 1879 to 1854.

425 Relief Families
Given Surplus Food

About 425 families throughout the
county on relief roles had their ice

A large refrigeration truck from
Minneapolis arrived in Redwood Falls
in the morning and left large pack
age of 5000 pounds of beef, 900
pounds of butter, 700 pounds of
cheese and SIG pounds of rice. Under
the direction of G. r. Engeman,
SERA county commodity clerk, the

Farmer-Laborites Triumph in State

j. Schmahl seemed likely to hold his
Job as state treasurer at the same
time when he had a 5000 vote lead
to build on against A. H. Kleffman
who all but got the position two
years ago. Only small part of the
vote had been tabulated.
Mike Holm, secretary of state, was
enjoying a big lead and seemed GER
tain of reelection, shelving K. K.
Solberg who was sacrificed to oppose
the unbeatable Mike. Less fortunate
was Christian j. Laurisch who ap-
peared to have been defeated by
Charles Mum, Farmer-Labor house
speaker, for railroad and warehouse
commissioner. Since Knud Wefald
is already on the commission, the par
ty now takes control of the govern
ing body of Minnesota public utilities.
Conceding Regan's defeat, Demo-
Gratis had banked on Einar Hoidale
to make showing at least against
Henrik Shipstead but the wary sena-
tor appeared to be well on his way
to winning by the biggest vote OF
any candidate.

Republicans received a thrill We'd
nesday afternoon when reports from
rural precincts which favored Mar

gan to trim the lead which Olson had
piled up in the Twin Cities. In few
hours his advantage had been cut to
$4,000 but at that time returns from
the iron range and more city pre-
cincts gave Olson another boost and
even his most hopeful opponents were
convinced that only miracle could
prevent the Governor from winning
by a good margin.

EARLY FOR CONTEST
Band to Head Delegation, Crowd
to Have Banners, Placards :
Supporting BalkO

With the first excitement of cleo
tion over, interest in Redwood Falls
switched today to a certain cornield
in the vicinity of Fairmont where Ted
Balko will make his fifth try for a
national husking title, starting this
noon.
Redwood Falls will be quiet
place today, judged by the size
of the delegation which is planning
to witness the Martin county event.
Headed by a band of more than 80
pieces from Redwood Falls, supple
mented by musicians from other
county bands, a delegation of 500
or more from the county is expected
to cheer it's favorite.
Through the efforts of the Lions
club, the city band will make the trip

The delegation is to meet on the
court house lawn at Fairmont at II
a. M. and be ready for the parade in
which everyone is urged to march.

the contest and placed in cars as
well as carried in the parade.

ty Agricultural society will hold their

day Thursday to elect three direc-
tors, make plans for the 1885 fair
and hear the reports Of officers on
the activities of the fair board this
year.
The annual reports which will be
read at the meeting will show the fair
in considerably better financial con-
dition this fall than at any time in re-
cent years, due partly to successful
season but to a greater extent to the
fact that adequate insurance was
carried on the dance pavilion which
blew down and burned this summer.
Insurance collected on the property
amounted to $7,453.64 which is the
largest item in the receipts for the
year which total $17,628.16. Deciding
not to rebuild until conditions war
rant, the board took advantage of the
opportunity to retire $6,329.26 of the
indebtedness of the fair.
Starting with a balance of $3S9.07,
the fair took in $2,O99.30 from con-
cessions and privileges, $49.O5 from
space rentals, $752.50 from entry
fees, $3.713.3O at the gate and grand
stand, $1,410 from state reimburse
ments, $114.26 from donations and
bills receivable and $36.11 from mis-
cellaneous which with $4,000 borrow
ed in anticipation of further appro-
priations and the insurance already
mentioned brought total receipts to
$18,O17.23.
Disbursements included: 5000, 1882
and 1888 salaries and per diem, $751;
62 office expense, $254.52 printing
and stationery, $237.54 advertising,
$124.27 judges, $191.12 police and
watchmen, $1,595 music and attract
ions, $458.7O repairs and replace
ments, $851.S5 labor, $1,753.5O pre-
miums, $1,597.5O purses, $6,329.26 re-
duction in Indebtedness, $1,364.6O,
miscellaneous and $268.2O land and
buildings. This makes total of $16,-
O84.66 spent and leaves balance of
s1,932.57 with following accounts
payable to be paid in the amount OF
sc, 6,4O5.63 when funds are available.
Other assets of the fair are $4,000
in lands, $4,000 in buildings, $1,6O0
in personal property, $2,410 in ac-
counts and notes receivable making a
total Of $37,942.57. Liabilities OF the
fair include Sc, ,405.63 in accounts pay
able, $4,000 in notes payable and $15,
$50 in capital stock.
Three directors whose terms ex-
pire at this time are C. A. Lauter-
bach, who was appointed to fill the
vacancy left by the death of D. A.
Dennistoun, C. C. Crocker and Will
lam Smith.

Governor Loses Redwood
County But Carries State
JULIUS SCHMAHL LEADS
IN COUNTY; SHLPSTEAD
BIG WINNER

AlCIlOuS1 dSSuIcU VI q CAAA ~
term as governor of Minnesota,
Floyd B. Olson apparently could
count Redwood county as lost
to his Republican opponent
when 81 of 43 precincts had re-
ported late Wednesday.
He was trailing with 2,305
votes to 2.44O for Martin A.
Nelson and 1,049 for John Reg
an. Fourteen precincts gave
him a plurality but scattered
rural sections, most of the vii
lagos and one Redwood Falls
ward swung into the Nelson
ranks.
Included in the precincts still not
reported was the second Redwood
Falls ward where he was certain to
run far behind and several villages
where his chances of breaking even
were none too good. John Regan
meanwhile had received 1,049 votes,
less than one-ffth.
lie HISC "dIu, 1sCoWOou Oils,
gave Nelson 400 while Olson got 144
and Regan "a. New Avon, Walnut
Grove, Wabasso and Underwood in
succession had cut into the lead which
he held shortly before they reported.
Shipstead Big Winner
Far more popular than the COVER
nor here was his fellow Farmer
Laborite Henrik Shipstead who had
1883 votes to 1878 for N. j. Holm
berg and 1,491 for Einar Hoidale.
Redwood Falls first ward gave
Holmberg 23S, Shipstead 203 and
Hoidale 1873.
Hjalmer Peterson, Farmer-Labor
candidate for Acknowledgements
was leading 2,2O6 to 1875 for Frank
lin Ellsworth and LIT for Arthur D.
Reynolds, Democrat. The first two
were likely to stand about even when
the second ward is heard from.
K. X. Solberg, Farmer-Laborite,
was doing fairly well against the vet
eran vote getter Mike Holm for
secretary of state, the formers total
being 2,O34 to 2,77S while Hugh T.
Kennedy, Democrat, had 965. Here
again the second ward was certain
to increase Holm's lead to over 1000.
Julius j. Schmahl seemed to be
carrying the county in good shape
with 2,265 to 2,149 for A. H. Kleff-
man, Farmer-Laborite and 1,185 for
M. M. BARLEY, Democrat. Julius too
was in line for good boost from the
Republican second ward.
Lyons is Winner
John T. Lyons whose victory in the
state was practically conceded, was
running first here with Stafford King,
candidate for reelection as state
auditor, second 2,163 to 2,107. Pat
rick Delaney was a poor third with
1918.
H. H. Peterson for attorney gen.
eral also held the upper hand with
2,267 to 1888 for Oscar Youngdahl
and LIPS for Alric Anderson, Demo-
crat. Redwood Falls first ward gave
Peterson 137, Youngdahl 371 and
Anderson 81.
Christian J. Laurisch, Republican
member of the railroad and ware
house commission, was defeated in
the state as we'll as in the county by
Charles Mum, giving the Farmer
Laborites control of that important
commission. Mum had 2,259, Laur-
isch 1899 and R. G. Close 1,O6O.
Grace Kaercher Davis led the
countv for clerk of the supreme court
2,1O6 to zoos for R. o. Gunderson
and 1,196 for C. L. Smith.
John P. Devaney was ahead for
chief justice 2,s77 to 1,722 for George
w. Peterson and Clifford L. Hilton
and julius j. Olson were in front for
associate justices with {, 2,431 and 2,248
while William A. Anderson, once a
county resident, had 1923 and w. H.
Vanderburgh 888.

Falk, Rogers Reelected;
Cole Wins Over Hubbard
PEASE, BECKMANN ELECT
ED TO COUNTY BOARD;
BIG VOTE CAST

In direct contrast to four
years ago when office holders
suffered the wrath of a depres-
sion-hit electorate, Redwood
county voters returned all of
their incumbent officers to their
positions Tuesday except the
coroner.
Several came through with
thousands of votes to spare, in
cluding some who were doped
to have close shaves, while
others waited anxiously for the
last precinct to report before
celebration was warranted.
The closest race developed between
George A. Barnes, seeking reelection
as county attorney and Julian E.
Morten, member of the county Farm
er-Labor executive committee. The
Redwood Falls vote, supporting
Barnes who has practiced law here
for Is years, decided the race when
it gave him GIT and Morten, who
moved here from Lamberton only re-
Gently, 525. Barnes total vote was
1927 and Morten's Alta, lead of
153.
Kise Reelected
Also close was the race in which l..
j. Kise was reelected as sheriff, an
office which he has held for 16
years, by margin of 1877 votes over
C. R. johnson of Walnut Grove. The
vote was Kise 4,469, Johnson 4.282.
Redwood Falls also saved Kise from
defeat, giving him 1,O59 to AIT for
johnson.
C. d. Clipfell trailed in early re-
turns and at one time his defeat was
anticipated but long leads in some Of
the later precincts reporting gave
him a 100 vote lead. His total vote
was 4,443 to 4,253 for Mrs. Grace
Chalmers Dahms of Morgan. In
Redwood Falls he led 773 to 693.
In the race for state senator Leon
H. Brown of Redwood Falls lost to
Frank Romberg, incumbent, Of
Sleepy Eye by about 750 votes in
Redwood and Brown counties. Red
wood county gave Brown 1874 to
4,162 for Romberg while Redwood
Falls backed Brown 962 to 455.
Browns vote in Brown county
with one precinct left to report was
1888 to 4,391 for Romberg.
AS predicted, John M. Zwach Of
Lucan piled up nearly 1000 votes ad-
vantage in Redwood county over E.
C. Steinberg of Sanborn in their race
for representative at large from
Brown and Redwood counties and
was we'll ahead in Brown county, as
suring his election. His Redwood
county vote was 5,117 to 3,173 for
Steinberg while Redwood Falls fav-
ored his candidacy 997 to 369.
Zwach led in Brown county with
1896 votes to 3,404 for Steinberg
with all but one precinct reported.
Dawson Beats Kramer
Fred H. Dawson of Walnut Grove,
who like Zwach campaigned against
the Farmer-Labor platform, rolled
up big lead over Mike Kramer,
Farmer-Labor leader, for county re-
preventative. Dawson polled 4,773
votes to 3,439 for Kramer, Redwood
Falls preferring the former by 948
to 431.

term as county auditor, surprised his

} Ed" Washes had been denied
right-of-way, and then his world
and his dreams came crashing
down around him.
Oh, he took it we'll enough on
the surface. He walked out OF
there with his head high when
Cochrane reluctantly wig-wagged
to Vic Sorrell in the bull pen in
the seventh. And later, at the
Tigers hotel, he had the ap-
proved and time-tried answer OF
the veteran major Lacquer:
"Well," he said, "yOu can't
win 'em ALL"
But you knew, you could tell
from looking at him, how his
boyish heart had craved to win
this one. AS why shouldn't 1t?
There he would have a full
cubit stature over the best the
American League had been able
to produce in the three decades
of its existence. In his second
year as big league regular, the
indelible figures that go on with
the game would have made him,

never lie.
surely he had something worth
while at which to shoot, and
Just as surely his hopes must
have risen high as his mates
spotted him to q two-run 60
ing away lead in the open
ing inning. He could have won
it then, if he had been able to
muster anything but hope on
his fast ball and more than a
prayer for his curve.
Just Hope, No Hop
But it was just hope and lot
hop that he had on mis- high
hard one, and as for his curve,
there was no more break to it
than there is to a bankers
heart.
AS Cochrane himself said to
the writer later:
Cali the kid had was his record
and those eight fellows that are
following him around writing
their own private versions Of the
