j. 5. ENGINEER
FREED, ON WAY
T0GIBRALTAR

An American mining engineer,
John o. Amber, Of San Antonio,
who was held hostage by Spanish
Communists in mine near
Huelva, was reported safe today.
The American embassy in Lon
don advised the State Department
that Amber had been released,
had reached Huelva safely and
was proceeding to Gibraltar.
The information reached the
London embassy through the Of
fees of the Rio Tinto Mining Cor
poration. Amber was employed at
the company's mine near Huelva
as a consulting engineer.
With 81 British employees. the
American engineer was seized
and held hostage when the mine
was taken over by workers for
the radical government.
Strong protests to the Madrid
government by British and Amer
lean diplomatic representatives
brought a demand on the miners
to release their hostages.
Communications between Ma
drid and the mines had been
severed, so the Madrid govern
ment sent an airplane there to
drop messages containing the
release orders.

Every Citizen Should Vote

Every citizen, qualified to vote, should not fail
to do so at the General Election Tuesday November
3rd Everyone has been given opportunity to
judge for himself the relative qualifications of the
various candidates on all tickets and having been
given an opportunity to learn the various issues
which confront the state and nation today should be
more than ever able to vote intelligently
The stay-at-home vote in past elections has been
so large that it could easily swing any election if
they would but go to the polls and exercise their
right of franchise Lethargy among some voters has
become serious problem, which all parties have
without success attempted to combat.
Stearns County, according to recent report, has
a voting strength of 31062 however in 1894, % per
cent of the entire vote 1881 citizens failed to vote
According to the 1880 census figures Minnesota had
qualified voting population of 12S2S76; however,
the largest vote cast in Minnesota in 1884
when the total 1,064,332. The total number of
stayathomes in the state accordingly totaled 21S644
This is regrettable fact, one which only be
remeded by the voters themselves Intensive drives
from all parties will be made this year to get out
the vote but without cooperation of the voters these
drives doomed to failure. No citizen, who takes
interest in his home his state, nation, should
fail to vote. That is Sinking sacred obligation to
himself and his fellowmen. Truly it is un-Amercan
and dangerous to the best interests of land. Be
American-Vote November Bird. No doubt, practical
ly everyone has made selection Of candidates which
they wish to have in office-vote for them and you
have performed your duty.

concession as the Minnesota
coach had ever been heard to make.
Asked If he believes the injury to
Julius Alfonso had any bearing on
the outcome of the game Bernie
said, II haven't any doubt Julie
would have made a couple Of touch
downs II he had stayed in there. He
was playing very we'll; but maybe
those would have been the touch
downs one Of the other boys got
anyway"
Bernie answered In the affirma-
tive, and rather enthusiastically
when asked II the big sophomore,
Charles Schultz, ranked about tops
as an offensive guard. He predicted
that Horace Bell, another sophie
more guard, might kick a few field
goals before the end Of the season.
Hes really a good field goal kick

Are Straws Accurate?

Straws said to show which way the wind
blows but in this campaign straw votes indicate that
at least breeze is blowing in all directions. While
the outcome of the election is difficult for anyone to
predict trends of sentiment among various classes
of voters to be fairly well defined.
From the numerous prediction polls it appears
that the New Deal will receive its strongest opposi-
ton from the small cities and rural communities Ex-
cept in the solid South" sentiment in the agrcul-
tural communities has to some extent swung from.
the New Deal This is indicated by virtually all polls
being reported
This trend is further confirmed by the open hos
tty of several leading farm organizations and farm
publications Some straw votes have been a correct
indication of election events have transpred in
the past but the result may be different this year
owing to activities which have not been a part of
former campaigns.
One writer states that the farm polls may be ex-
planned by the fact that the average American farm
is strongly ndividualistc and is skeptical about
taking orders from higherups. Imports of farm pro-
ducts and other vital issues have given him some
concern.
At any rate following November Bird, the Amer
lean public will learn the accuracy the futity Of
the straw vote which has become an institution to
determine the election results before the people have
spoken. OF course, all realize that the fate Of all
candidates rests in the actual number of ballots
each receives-straws will not count after election.

pair of dangerous ball carriers as
Isbell and Drake of Purdue, but"
he added, "the next opponents will
have better balance in the back
field with at least 10 backs who,
although not in class with Isbell
and Drake, are fine backs just the
same"
But have a lot of confidence
in my boys now. I know they won't

where along the line, but the team
that beats them will have to beat
a team with a lot of courage and
poise that can play 60 minutes of

mean that Bierman believes his

experienced men Saturday. He men

The Herald cares not which political element may
be in power we danger in both amendments to

Amendment No. l. which provides for the exchange
of state lands for Federal privately owned lands,

state for poorer lands. That is not remote possib
fifty, for people residing in the northern part of the
state better of the fight they have had to pre-
their timber lands and water rights, than those
who live elsewhere. AS it, it will permit graft.
Amendment No. 2 has provision guarantee
that local taxes real tangible properties will not
be higher result of its passage is there any
guarantee that the state levy will be lower as 1t pro-
vdes the payment of state debt incurred prior to
January 1887. From that angle 1t looks merely as
though it will provide for added taxes, instead OF
tax reduction. The Herald throughout the campaign
regardless of political affiation, has been for tax
reduction. We do not favor socaled replacement
taxes, which are merely subterfuge to raise more
money for greater expenditures.
