Heat Turned
Onin Annual
CityElection
Six Candidates Will Battle
for Two Vacant Places on
Council. April 3
HOT MAYORALTY FIGHT
w. E. DeLaurier Opposed by
C.. E. Perkinson-J. H.
Hansen, Treasurer

Last weeks Herald stated that
but little interest had developed in
Sank Centres annual City election
to be held Tuesday, April 3. =, II
That statement was quite true at
the time the article was written.
When the Herald went to press
early Thursday, August Otto,
Frank Connolly and John Wruck
were the candidates for the two
vacant places on the Board of AL
dermen. -...~-
Late Thursday the petition of G..
D. Cass, former alderman was cir
culated and filed with City Clerk
Cooper. Mr.. Cass was defeated a
year ago by Fred Walker.
Saturday afternoon, shortly be-
fore the books closed, the petitions
of John Mondloch, whose term ex-
pires, and Carl Eckberg, well
known contractor and citizen, were
filed.
Mr.. Mondloch desired to duck
the responsibility but his support
ers would not listen. He has been
a very valuable man on the council.
The friends of the six candidates
are busy which will insure a heavy
vote at the polls next Tuesday.
Mayor w. e. DeLaurier will be
opposed for reelection by former
Alderman G. e. PerkinsSn. Those
who have made a close survey of
the situation predict that this race
will be close.
John II. Hansen, cashier of the
Merchants National Bank, filed late
Saturday as candidate for City
Treasurer. Ben F. Dubois has
held this position for many years
and declined to be a candidate for
reelection. He has made com
petent and efficient official. Mr..
Hansen is amply qualified to sue
coed Mr.. Dubois.
For the benefit Of those who may
not be familiar with the voting
hours: The polls will open at $50
A. M, and close at 500 p. M. The
residents of the First ward will
vote at the Armory. corner Third
and Elm streets; the residents Of
the Second Ward vote at the City
Hall, Third and Pine streets. All
those citizens living on the North
side Of Third street reside in the
First Ward. those living on the
south side of Third street live in
the Second ward,

DID You
KNOW THAT

Did you know that the remote
control wires of both the Co
lumbia and National Broadcast
ing Companies run through
Sank Centre. Believe it or not,
it is a fact!
Both of these lines run from
New York City to Seattle,
Wash, and all broadcasts this
side of Minneapolis are sent
over these wires right through
Sank Centre. On the network
a program from New York to
be broadcast through Minneapo-
lis is taken from the wires in
that city and then sent through
the air. IF you hear program
from Seattle or some other
Western station you will be sur
prised to know that it has al
ready passed through Sank Gen.
ire over these wires and is then
sent back to you through the
air.
These wires are leased by the
broadcasting companies from
the telephone company. Manag-
er Forsythe, Of the local tele-
phone company, has 43 miles Of
these wires to keep in repair.
The wires are larger than the
ordinary telephone wires and
are the ones you see at the tops
Of the cross arms.

Ransack Slot, Chance
Machines in Cafe
Pink Elephant Restaurant Entered
by MaFauders Monday Night
$40 or $50 Taken From Games

The Pink Elephant Restaur-
ant was entered by marauders
Monday night and slot ma
chimes and other chance games
were ransacked and relieved of
about $40 or $50.
Carl Nelson, proprietor, clos
ed his restaurant at about
11:2O that night, hence it is
thought that the place was en-
tered at around midnight. MIR.
Nelson believes that two men
or boys hid in the Palmer
House garage at the rear of
the restaurant until after clos
ing time and then entered from
the driveway of the garage,
through the side windows,
which were covered with card
board. Upon leaving they made
their exit through the rear door
of the garage. 1900 .....
In order to work without de-
lection evidence showed that
the robbers had pulled the var
ious machines to the window
and then worked from the out
side. They opened a machine
called q pan mutuel game and
relieved it of about SIS in PEN
MES. They also pried open the
money box on the glass COW
cred ball or marble game and
there took about $50. A small
slot or gum ball machine was
taken from the place and was
probably opened In q more
convenient spot. Another slot
machine, which had not been
played much, was not touched,
hence it is believed that some
one who knew the place per-
petrated the act.
The police were notified i'm
mediately. ...---

MORATORIUM ON
RELIEF WORK

The Herald has advance in
formation that this Thursday
evening an announcement will
come from Washington declar-
ing a Moratorium on all Federal
Relief work, in every branch, for
period of at least two weeks.
This move is probably the be-
ginning of the actual ending Of
the Federal Governments pro-
gram to bring relief to the un-
employed.
Perhaps the various depart
ments have discovered that
money does not grow on trees.

The long drouth has been broken.
The citizens of the Sank Centre
cmmunity will have an oppcrtun-
ity to quench their thirst legally at
so much per very small quench,
probably Saturday when M. Wer-
mig will open an exclusive LIQUOR

cense in the building on Third St.,
owned by her husband and occu-
pied by the Silver Grill restaurant.
At the time the Council met on

berger's bond had not been filed.
The Council did not care to pro-
coed with the granting or rejecting
of Mrs. Dirnrberger's application
at this time. City Attorney L. L.

Miller
A Candidate
For Senate
Local Man Was Organizer
and President of County
Taxpayers Association
DRAFTED FOR SERVICE
Well Posted on Matters At
fecting Taxation-Should
Have Home Support

Charles Miller, one of the Or
ganizers, first president and active
worker in the Stearns County Tax
payers Association. was drafted as
a candidate for Senator from this,
the 46th Senatorial District, fol-
lowing the very largely attended
meeting of the Taxpayers Associa-
ton held at st. Cloud last week.
Mr.. Miller filed with County
Auditor Nick Thomey Friday.
The gentleman is the son Of the
late Joseph Miller who homestead
ed a farm in Getty township, south
of this city, in 1853. The family
moved to Sank Centre AZ years ago
where they have since resided.
Charles Miller was born on the
homestead in Getty in 1885. He
attended the public schools in this
city and for two years was a stu
dent at the Vath Business College
in this city.
Mr.. Miller has never held public
office but has long taken an active
interest in Civic affairs. He has
been a student of tax problems and
probably is the best qualified man
in the Taxpayers organization to
represent this district in the State
Senate.
After he fled as a candidate for
the Senate Mr.. Miller resigned as
President of the Stearns County
organization. Mr.. Odell. of Brooten,
has succeeded to this position.
Charley will retain his dictatorship
in the Minnesota Taxpayers AS
ISOLATION. ..
Three other candidates have filed
for the senatorship: John Jacobs,
incumbent, Richmond; former Sen
ator Ig. Lemm, Melrose; Ralph
Woolsey, young attorney, Melrose.
The home communities of Messrs.
Jacobs and Lemm will stand 10y
ally by their home candidates.
Sank Centre should do no less than
give Mr.. Miller fine support. This
city has not been represented in
the State Senate since the Senator
Keller served, "way back yonder."
It is understood it is the pur-
pose Of the Stearns County organi-
zation to file candidates for every
county office, members of the lower
house and county commissioners,
whose record does not justify their
support.

not only for the individual mem
bers but for the city of Sank Gen.
ire. Mingling and mixing togeth-
err at these meetings the "pedlers
will have an opportunity to know
each other better. AS they discuss
their problems they will furnish
each other business tips of value;
their social reactions should be
enjoyable.
Travelling, as these gentlemen do
over Central, Northern and West
ern Minnesota, they can spread the
gospel Of Sank Centre as a desir-
able place to reside. With splendid
schools, ample church and fratern-
al facilities; healthful surround
ings, excellent sport for the golf
enthusiast or piscatorial artist,
bathing facilities and other recre
ational opportunities, and the fine
personnel of the Sank Centre citi-
zenery. they can expound the de.
STABILITY of main Street" as a
place to live, with justifiable pride.
Permanent officers have not been
elected. They plan to meet twice
each month, it is understood, on
Friday evenings. The following is
the personnel of the organization:
