Elsewhere* in this iaauie we pub­
lish a sample of
xthe
ballots' to be
voted at the primary election,
which contain' the names of all
candidates to be voted for. From
these candidates the voters will be
required to make their selections of
party candidates, and as some of
these candidates are to manage
county affairs the coming two years
it would* be well for voters to con­
sider their qualifications.
For the office of county auditor
the administration of E. C. Pannell
has been so uniformly satisfactory
that no opposition to his re-election
has teen offered from any source
and he Will continue in tne position
he has so ably filled.
The same condition exists in- re­
lation to the offioe of county
treasurer. The long newspaper
experience of E. K» Smith has
qualified him to please everybody,
and in so doing he will be undis­
turbed in his ambition to succeed
himself as oustodian of the county
funds.
For the office of register of deeds
there are three candidates, two re­
publican and one' democratio. H.
Hawley, who is just completing his
first term is well known to all.
For a number of years he ably
edited the Advance and faithfully
labored to further the interest of
his party and its candidates through
the columns of his paper. So far-as
we have been able to learn he has
jCadthf ully performsjijip^^
of his office and there appeared be
no reasonable cause to turn him
out with only one term.
Harry R. Tripp, along time resi­
dent of Round Lake is anxious to
succeed Mr. Hawley, audnaa been
making an active campaign. His is
fully qualified and should he he the
choice of the people would un
doubtedly make a good official
The democratic candidate is J. H.
a well known resident" of
Worthington. He has many friends
•in the city,
who know bis iabililjy and
worth as a man and he will make
the campaign tateyesting at least.
For the position of Sheriff there
are three applicants, *11 republicans.

A doctor was. summoned and
rendered the necessary surgical as­
sistance after which the injured
man was removed to this place and
will be cared for at the home of Mrs.
J. T. Milton. It is the opinion of
the attending physician that he
will recover without the loss Of
the limb.
The injured man has been a
resident of'this country but three
months and has a wife in Sweden.
Preachers Meet.
Dr. F. M. Rule, presiding elder of
the Winona district, and Dr. F. ,B.
Cowgill, presiding elder of Marshall
district, met with a committee of
ministers at the Methodist church
in thia city two days of last week.
We have noticed that when a com­
pany o{ Mejihpdiat ministers get ifeij
coats and get right after the work
in hand but between sessions when
dff duty, they are as jovial and
good natured company as one often
meets, and this particular gather­
ing was no exoeption to the rule.
Among the pastors in attendance
from this immediate vicinity were
S. A. Cook, Windom J. F. Van
Camp, Pipestone W. M. Gillis
Rushmore W. J. Robinson, Lake
field, and L. L. Tower, Adrian.
A New Well.
The city water supply has not
provel satisfactory for a long time
past and to secure an ample supply
of pure water has been a problem
confronting the Oity officials, which
they think has now been solved.
A contract was recently awarded
G. J. Savage, of Wayne, Nebraska,
for drilling a well, 12 inches in
diameter, and he has been working
at it for the past two weeks.
A
:had
fine
flow has'been struck at a depth of
61 feet, and as soon as sand screens
and piping can be placed a test will
be made, both as to the purity of the
water and as to whether the well
will yield an adequate supply for
all purposes. ..

GUTTERSON 1$ 4N THE LEAD
A Careful and Conservative
View of the Congressional
Situation in This
I District.
''••i
That Gilbert (iuttersen is far in
tne lead for the republican nomina­
tion for congress in this district is
manifested to all careful
obeerversof the trend of events dur­
ing the past two we^ks.
Mr. (iuttersen by his open and
ftank methods of conducting his
campaign by his clean and manly
Way of stating every proposition
and by his genial and cordal per­
sonality is winning his way into
the confidence and good will of the
people of the seccfnd district.
Without indulging in any person­
alities,- Mr. Guttersen and his man­
agers have been advising the people
of the exact situation and giving the
exact facts* relative to the record of
Mr. McCleury since he has been a
member of Congress from the dis­
trict.
Two years ago Mr. McCleary in
his campaign assured the good peo­
ple of this distiiot, that if he again
returned to congress he would be
named as the chairman of, perhaps,
the most important committee in
the House of Representatives that of
chairman of the committee on ap­
propriations.
By all preoedent tradition and
usage McCleary had'he beenconsider
ed as competent and able to fill this
position should have been appoin­
ted.
But he tailed to make good.
And the Speaker of the House
took another Minnesota member^
from
another committee and placed
him at the head of tbe appropria­
tion committee. There' is no other
an instance recorded in the
annals of congress:
Mr. McCleary was transferred to
the ways and means committee.
What lias be done there?
He introduced two bills aimed
directly 'at the commercial welfare
of both the United States and Ger­
many, in which the present tariff
rates would be increased twenty
five percent in retaliation of any
increase of the
Cerman
schedules.
The bills were never considered.
And while Mr. McCleary Was fram­
ing them Secretary of State Root
and the German Embassy at Wash­
ington succeeded in completing
temporary negotiation's between the
two nations postponing any com­
mercial difficulties for six months.
The McCleary policy of raising
the tariff was turned down by the
national administration.
His attitude in keeping the tariff
rates up, and in giving protection
to large corporate interests which
do. not need it, has met with the dis­
approval of the republicans of Min­
nesota in convention assembled,
when It declared for tariff revision
at the hands of the republican party.
His position is not sustained, in­
dorsed or approved by the other
members of the Minnesota delega­
tion in Congress.
On all of the great measures
eacted by thei congress at the last
session including the railroad rate
bill «id the pure food bill Mr. Mo
Cleary remained silent simply vot­
ing for them when he happened to
be in the House.
He did not originate anything
that passed oongress the last ses­
sion, or in any other session of na­
tional scope and breadth. He made
an abject failure as a member of the
committee on banking and curren­
cy, as been shown by the news­
papers of this distriot, when they
printed from the official records,
that McCleary was forced to with-
draw the bill which he reported,
and that he then retired from that
commitee in any -thing but an en­
viable light.
As a member of the appropria­
tions committee, his efforts
confined
to securing large appropri
1
several men whose names are on
the pay roll of tbe District of Col­
umbia having been appointed by
McCleary,.
They have come 'from Washing­
ton to work for him, and attention
will be given to them later on.
All of these facts and inapy more
whioh will prove that Mr. McCleary
is no longer in touch with the sen­
timent of this distriot, have turned
the tide in Gilbert Guttersen'sfaver
and his success at the primaries
seems positively assure d:—Free

Fair Next Week.
Remember that the Worthington
District Fair will be held on Wed­
nesday, Thursday and Friday of
next week. There
iB
every promise
of good weather and numerous ex­
hibits in the various departments.
In addition to the usual attrac­
tions there wili be two good games
of base ball, and the free exhibitions
by the Reeds' and the Wilcox's.
These exhibitions alone will be
worth more than the prim of ad­
mission.

make your fair the beet district fair
in the state. You can do it if you

the Meyers and Hansberger

The reunion at the home of Mr.
and .Mrs. John Hansberger of whioh

held according to schedule on
Thursday. It was an ideal day and
one long to be remembered by
those present. About thirty rela­
tives from Indiana and Ohia came
in a speoial car arriving on Wednes­
day evening. Guests from Worth­
ington and other places began
arriving early Thursday morning
and before the noon hour about two
hundred persons were present to
enjoy the Hansberger hospitality.
Everybody in these parts is
familiar with the cordial welcome
visitors gets at *the Hansberger
home which is itself an indication
that all had a thoroughly enjoyable
time.
A fine program had been arranged
and was carried out with scarcely
a change in the whole arrangement.
The orchestra of which Mr. J. M.
Addington is leader furnished
music throughout the day.
America was sung, the invocation
offered by Rev. G. A. Cahoon and a
greeting extended by MaBter Donald
Wilson. Following this Mr. John
|Iansberger made a hearty speech
of welcome, expressing his pleasure
at the presence of his friends.
Rev. G. A. Cahoon conducted the
annual memorial service*
Mr. Benj. Franklin Meyers and
Peter G. Johnson, both .pf whom
had planned on being present had
died during the year.
the pastor ^called
attention to these facts and re­
minded those present that the re­
unions of earth are' ever held with
some chair vacant. That a larger
reunion awaits us where all may be
privileged to gather and where the
fellowship of earth abide is a
matter of rejoicing. An instru­
mental duet by two little Ohio girls
closed the morning exercises.
At exactly twelve ofclook a
bountiful repast was served. At
that hour the tables were heavily
laden and fairly gro^neid under
their burdens but an hour or two
later when Col. J. A. Town and
some of his companions had
finished the tables were consider­
ably lightened.
Toasts.followed the dinner. Mr.
Edwin C. Wilson as toastmastor was
right at home and all the toasts
were of a high order and
thoroughly enjoyed. Col. J. A.
Town spoke in the afternoon in his
usual happy vein on
*1
uPioneer
Life". The festivites continued
long into the evening and all came
home happy and better for the day
spent in the fellowship of some of
the best people in the land.
