NEAR BLIZZARD
HERE ALREADY

Slushy snow which froze into
heavy ice and endangered motor
lists and pedestrians who strained
against sharp blasts of chill
wind, fell on Redwood Falls Sun
day, beginning about l p. m. It
turned into a regular wintery fall
of snow that night and Monday a
miniature blizzard ragged. By
Tuesday night a spasmodic pre-
cipitation of rain and snow had
registered .63 of an inch at the
station of N. B. Andersen, Red
wood Falls weatherman.
Although no county snow
plows had been called out it was
reported that automobiles had
been stuck in three and four foot
drifts near Vesta and Seaforth.
The Tri-State telephone company
at Redwood Falls was not bother
ed with sleet covered wires but
wires were reported to have been
weighted to the ground at Mar
shall and Pipestone.
Mr.. Andersen's barometer rose
suddenly Tuesday, an indication
of much colder weather in the Of
fling.

Kvale Leading
for Congress
OTHER INCUMBENTS IN
LEAD IN EARLY
RETURNS

With reports on the voting in
the seventh congressional district
fragmentary at presstime, it ap-
peared that Paul Kvale would be
reelected over H. Carl Anderson,
of Tyler, Republican, and DR.. c..
L. Cole of Alexandria, Townsen-
dite and Democratic nominee.
Other incumbent congressman
also were faring well at the hands
of voters with Elmer j. Ryan,
Democrat, gaining reelection in
the second district while August
H. Andersen, Republican, with
stood the Democratic landslide to
hold his seat from the first dis
trict, southeastern Minnesota.
Only w. A. Pittenger, Duluth,
congressman for the eighth dis
trict and Republican, appeared
to be in danger of defeat by his
Farmer-Labor opponent.
With AZ precincts reported at
presstime out of the county's 43,
Kvale was safely ahead in Red
wood county with 2,725 to 2,406
for Anderson and 1923 for Cole.
Redwood Falls first ward gave
Anderson 327 while the Town
send vote brought Cole into a tie
with Kvale at 158 each. In the
second ward Kvale polled 209,
Anderson Ala and Cole 237.

BOY, Is; GIRL, II,
NEW OWNERS OF
FURNITURE MART

Redwood Falls may well claim
the distinction of having the
youngest partnership firm in this
section of the country.
Ronald Neuenburg, Is, and his
older sister Berndetta, II, have
recently purchased the Redwood
Furniture Mart, and will run the
place without assistance from
anyone more adult.
Berndetta, a senior in high
school, already is working at the
place before school, at lunch time
and after dinner and when school
closes she expects to devote full
time to her especial responsible
ties, the new and used furniture
departments of the store.
Ronald who has spent the past
year in the Redwood Woodcraft
shop in the back of the building
will continue his present work
repairing furniture and filling
special orders for woodcraft.
AS the lease runs for four
years, Berndetta will not be able
to fulfill her ambition to take a
course in interior decorating, but
feels that the practical work will
be just as valuable.
Ben Hyland is the former own
er of the Mart, situated on Mill
street.

Kragh Upsets
Dope To Win
On Stickers
AND MUETZEL
WIN TO KEEP OLD
BOARD INTACT

Accomplishing a seldom heard
of feat, that of coming back to win
in the general election, on stickers,
after being eliminated in the pri-
maries, j. P. Kragh of Morgan re-
tains his place at the county COM
missioners' table which seemed
certain to be occupied by another
a few weeks ago.
The Kragh upset leaves the
county board unchanged for an
other two years as Phil Raveling
won handily from E. H. Marks in
the first district and Herman
Muetzel ran well ahead of D. M.
Tiffany in the fifth.
Earl w. Butcher and Morris
Skow each received practically a
third of the votes in the third dis
trict, the close competition be-
tween the two being an important
factor in the sticker-victory.
Terms of E. A. Pease and Her
man Beckman, commissioners
from the second and fourth dis
tricts, do not expire at this time.

Council Okays
Ordinance on
Milk Grading
COOPERATIVE MOTOR
CYCLE COP PLAN IS
PROPOSED

A new ordinance providing for
the grading and labelling of milk
sold within the city was passed
at the regular session of the city
council Monday evening after
several weeks consideration by
councilmen.
The law prohibits the sale of
ungraded and unlabeled milk and
provides that four grades be
established according to the con-
ditions of dairy herds and barns,
pasteurization and methods of
milk handlers. Penalty for fail
ing to comply with provisions is
a maximum fine of 500 or Jail
sentence of 80 days. The law will
not be effective for about six
months, giving dairymen oppor-
tunity to install new equipment
and make arrangements to inn
prove present standards where
necessary.
Sale of $4,000 in certificates
of indebtedness for street treat
ment and improvements was also
made at the meeting upon the
opening of two bids, one from
Kahlman and company of St.
Paul at two and a half per cent
interest with a premium of $50
and the other from Wells-Dickey
of Minneapolis for the same in
terest rate but with premium
of $37 The Kahlman bid was
accepted.
Hearings on special assess
ments for street work already
completed were set for November
20.
The council granted plumbers
licenses to Drogosch and Son, the
Jaehning Hardware and the Pease
Heating and Plumbing company
and made partial payments for
street work to the Jay w. Craig
company and r. F. Byram. Mem
bers also took out membership
in the state municipal liquor
stores association of which Leon
H. Brown. city attorney, is vice.
president.
A suggestion by Mayor c. L.
Lynn that the city endeavor to
cut down speeding by hiring a
motorcycle policeman together
with about four surrounding
towns such as Montevideo,
Marshall and New Ulm was en-
thusiastical1y received by council
members. They decided that ac-
ton upon the matter, however,
could wait until spring.

ONLY EIGHT ELECTORAL
VOTES TO BE CAST
FOR LANDON

By the greatest landslide
in 116 years, Franklin d.
Roosevelt was reelected for
a second term at the polls
Tuesday.
Only two states, Maine and
Vermont, with five and three
electoral votes respectively,
were in the Alf M. Landon
column with a third of the
nations ballots still to be
counted.
Historians went back to
the days of James Monroe to
find a greater majority in
the electoral college, Monroe
having been elected with only
one dissenting vote.
During election night, Pre-
sident Roosevelt and his ma
ior opponent exchanged tele-
grams, Governor Landon say
ing in part, "The nation has
spoken. Every American will
accept the verdict and work
for the good of the coun-
try" The president ex-
pressed his gratitude for the
overture.
With approximately one-third
of the votes counted Wednesday
noon, Roosevelt was leading Lam
don well over two to one in Min
nesota with William Lemke,
union party candidate, an ex-
tremely poor third.
The presidents triumph in the
nation was far more complete
than the landslide of four years
ago and he was more popular
with Minnesota voters. In 1892
his plurality in Minnesota was
236, 200 votes. This year it will
be well over 300,0 600 and may.
reach 100000.
In Redwood county, with 40
precincts reported at the office of
County Auditor Ira r. Rogers,
Roosevelt was an easy winner
with 1922 votes to 2,712 for Lam
don and 634 for Lemke.
Second ward votes were not all
counted as this was written but
Redwood Falls remained true to
its Republican traditions in the
first ward by polling 328 votes
for Landon to sos for Roosevelt
and 20 for Lemke. Probably it
was the closest a Democratic pre-
sidential candidate ever came to
carrying Redwood Falls ward.
Whether the polling Tuesday set
an all time record for city and
county vote turn-outs was disput-
ed, the concensus being that 1876
sets new mark by a considerable
margin while the official county
figure probably will also be a rec
ord breaker. The heavy vote, in
spite Of bad weather, indicated
how thoroughly interested the
public has become in government.
It also was a factor IN the delays
in getting returns, counting being
still in progress in some places as
this issue goes to press.

Hit,RunDriver
ToPay Penalty
WILL SERVE SENTENCE
ON MANSLAUGHTER
CHARGE

Worthington-A jury of IL far
mers and one retired businessman
found Louis Bristol of Worthing-
ton guilty last week after deliber-
ating six and one-haf hours.
Bristol was charged with second
degree manslaughter in the hit
run death of DR.. S. N. Kingrey,
Worthington veterinarian.
The judge deferred sentence of
the convicted man and remanded
him to the custody of the sheriff.
The conviction carries a penalty
of from one to 5 years or a 81 ZOO
fine or both.
An unconfirmed report indicat-
ed that the jury had balloted for
conviction from the start with one
member disagreeing. Finally the
unanimous decision was reached
and the verdict brought in.
The fatal accident occurred the
evening Of September 25. DR..
Kingrey and two other men had
just left the veterinarian hospital
on horseback, riding three abreast
with the doctor in the middle.
Bristol, who admitted during
the trial that he had been drink
ing, came down the hill in the
same direction the men were
riding and crashed into the Kin
grey horse, knocking the animal
to the ground with its rider. DR.
Kingrey's leg was crushed be-
tween the horses body and the
curbstone. Doctors testified thai
his death was the result of injur-
les sustained in the accident and
shock which resulted from the
crash.
According to testimony, Bristo,
fed from the scene after the
crash.

Dawson and
Laudon Lose
In Struggle
BALDWIN HIGH MAN IN
COUNTY RACES WITH
5,232 VOTES

H. M. Aune, who trailed in the
primary election by considerable
margin, overlook his opponent
Fred H. Dawson, candidate for re-
election as county representative,
at the polls Tuesday, winning by
784 votes.
In another close race which
might be classed as an upset, Rob-
ert v. Ochs turned the tables on
A. R. A. Laudon. Winner four
years ago when Ochs tried to OBJ
tain the office, the veteran pro-
bate judge was the loser this time
4381 to4556.
Frank Baldwin received sec
ond term as clerk of court, defeat
ed Mrs. BesSe Cameron, also of
Redwood Falls, 5232 to 3673. His
advantage appeared early and the
race was never close although
Mrs. Cameron carried several
precincts.
The Ochs-Laudon race proved
the most interesting in the county
returns as the two We'd for leads
in township after township and
village after village. Ochs carried
in the first few precincts reporting
and momentarily appeared off to
an easy victory. Then gradually
additional returns cut down the
Ochs margin until at 2 a. m, when
tabulating was temporarily sus-
pended in favor of sleep, only 10
votes separated the rivals with
Ochs still leading.
Well built fences in Redwood
Falls turned the trick for Ochs
however, the early morning re-
ports for both wards giving him
lead in the city of 273 votes, an
advantage which was never SER
iously threatened from that point
until early Wednesday afternoon
when returns reached the "finap
stage.
Fifty years as a merchant in
Redwood Falls and the friendships
made over such a period counted
heavily in the Aune victory. His
lead in his home ward was 40
to 243 and in the second, SOS to
29O, a total majority of 452. Daw-
son likewise ran strong in pre-
cincts surrounding his home.
John Zwach, candidate for re-
election as representative-at-large
from Brown and Redwood coun-
ties was unopposed.
Redwood county turned down
both state amendments, the first,
authorizing land deals between
the state and federal govern
ments, losing by 2,073 to 2,651
while the second doing away with
state property taxes was shouted
down 1928 to 1,627. A sales tax
was expected to be the alterna-
tive way of raising money.

THE DIGEST POLL UNDERWAY

Once again the Literary Digest an
nounces its famous poll to ascertain the
sentiment of voters in the United States
and to anticipate, if possible, the results of
the election to be held in November
The magazines past efforts along
this line have been remarkably successful,
although commentators point out that
each of the last three presidential cleo
tons have been determined by an over
whelming sentiment and that no close
election has been accurately forecast.
One of the novel features this year is

The Oath OF Office

to the truth of a deliberate false
hood"
The makers Of the constitution I'M
derstood the serious nature of an oath.
They understood that the sanctity OF
an oath is the very foundation of civ
ilized. representative government.
They assumed that American citizens
placed in positions of trust would ac-
ceut in full the obligations of the oath.
Hence in their desire to protect the
constitution against all who might at
tempt to destroy it. or in any way
make it ineffective they provide in
tn constitution that "all Senators and
Representatives before mentioned,
and the members of the several State
legislatures, and all executives and
judicial officers both of the United
States and the several states shall be
bound BY oath Tor affirmation> to
support the constitution
The President is given enormous
power by the constitution. The sacred
responsibility that the Chief Execu-
tive must carry is almost beyond COM
prehension Realizing this fact the
makers Of the constitution provided.
tn. instrument itself, the form and
the words of the oath that the Presi-
dent must take before he is permitted
to take over the awful responsibilities
of his Office. The oath prescribed is:
Il do solemnly sluea4 Tor affirm
that | ,Oill faithfully execute the of
flee OF President of the United States,
and ,Uill to the best of my bility pre-
serUe, protect and defend the conSti-
tuition of the United States" '"' Il
The President has never publicly
explained how he reconciled with the
above oath. his appeal to members
OF Congress to disregard any doubts
they might have with reference to the
constitutionality of certain bill and
tc vote for it. Those who construe this
appeal as a violation of the ;sanctity
of the oath have eagerly looked for
convincing explanation.
