Yesterday's election was a warm
one. The Northwestern telephone
interests with all its ramifications,
including the active and fullest pos
sible co-operation of the Great
Northern Railway, worked early and
late, only to go down to absolute and
decisive defeat. They had a number
of automobiles out, tearing around
the streets from six o'clock in the
morning until late at night, carry
ing loads of voters to and from the
railroad shops and State Farm, and
in every way assisting in getting out
a big vote to their own undoing. The
railroad dead-headed in crews from
along the lii.e to vote. On the other
side there was no organized or sys
tematic work done, and no rigs of
any kind out. The people simply re
fused to be carried off their feet by
"hurrah" methods, or be dictated to
by anybody, and voted their convic
tions.

MRS. THOMAS RETIRES
Local Anti-Tuberculosis Society
Unites in Honoring Retiring
President for Faithful
Service.
At the meeting of the Willmar An
ti-tuberculosis society yesterday, the
resignation of Mrs. G. E. Thomas,
who has served the society as presi
dent so ably since its organization,
was accepted, and Mrs. H. C. Han
sen was elected to fill the vacancy.
The retiring president was presented
with a bouquet of carnations and
pink roses as a token of apprecia
tion of the members of the society.
The presentation Was made by Ma
yor Wellin in a very neatlittle speech.
The Thomas family expect shortly
to move onto their farm west of the
city. Bills for the current month to
the amount of $35.00 were allowed.
Mrs. L. 0. Thorpe reported some
moie money received on her calen

Rice, reported the cash on hand to
be about $360.00
Yesterday's Ejections.
In the city election in Litchfield
yesterday license was carried by 85.
Last year the majority for license
was 89. The Independent lays the
result to a lack of organization
among the dry element, while the
wets have a perfect working ma
chine.
Benson went wet again by about
70 votes. Hutchinson remains dry
by 28 majority. Waseca remains dry
by 5 majority.
The Republican and Democratic
fusion in the city of Milwaukee head
ed by Dr. J. A. Bading defeated Ma
yor Emil Seidel, the socialist in
cumbent by a total of 43,000 to 30,
000. Of the 33 aldermen 26 are fu
sion and 7 socialists. There are
four socialist hold-over aldermen.
Mr. Seidel was elected in a three-
in
The socialists made a good show
ing, electing an alderman in Fourth
Ward and making veiy good runs in
First and Second Wards, and came
within 37 votes of electing the as
sessor. This vote was of course,
largely on local issues.
The lesult of the election on al
dermen resulted in a council that
stands five to three on the telephone
question, and after this decisive vote
by the people there will be no dis
position on the part of any alder
man to hamper the new system in
the installation.
As the news spread of the victory
of independent 'phones at Willmar
.there was a rejoicing among the
country people. Hereafter it will not
be necessary to invoke the aid of
"pulls" or "influence" and sigrt
away rights to be admitted to Will
mar. Every independent line owner
in this part of the country will feel
relieved to know that the one re
maining citadel of the trust in this
part of Minnesota has fallen.

CANDIDATES

David Morgan, Socialist, a
William Lee, Progressive Re
publican* at Willmar.
Willmar was visited last week
two candidates for governor.
Friday, Rev. David Morgan, of Si
Paul,the Socialist candidate for go

in the evening. Rev. Morgan haj

Of Long Prairie, Minn.
inent of his party, and we feel cer
tain that if there was a direct prim
ary of the rank and file instead of a
convention of politicians, and the
issues were fully understood, Mr.
Lee would have no difficulty in se
curing the nomination.. .....
Mr. Lee wants it distinctlyTfndtsr"-'
ftood that he i-s opposed to the liquor
interests in politics. We spoke of the
strong showing made in favor of
Lobeck, and Mr. Lee promptly said
that if he could not get the moral
support of such men as Mr. Lobeck
he certainly would not care for the
nomination. "Where would I be with
the liquor interests solidly arrayed
against me, with the handicap of an
unpopular national administration
and then with Lobeck getting the
good share of the best voters of the
state." We agreed that the outlook
would then be dubious. Mr. Lee is
hopeful of uniting the better elements
for the coming fight. *.
His ideas of retrenchment of ex
penses in state government and abol
ishing of useless office-holders are
very thoro-going. He believes that
some of the state boards can be abol
ished and sinecure offices cut off
without injuring the public service.
Mr. Lee is an ardent election re
former. He believes in a corrupt
practices act that will reach every
body, whether a candidate or not,
and he believes that the Kansas law
should be adopted prohibiting all
electioneering and buttonholing of
voters after 12 o'clock midnight be
fore the election day. Of course he
favors the extension of primaries to
state officers.
Mr. Lee expects to come back to
Kandiyohi county later, when the
campaign opens in earnest, and the
Willmar Tribune believes our people
will be glad to meet him and learn
to know more fully his sentiments on
public questions.
Pipe Organ Concert in Near Future.
The Young People's Society qf the
Synod church have been notified by
the Kimball Piano Co. that their

LMAR HIGH
WINS DEBATE
HighiSchool Gets Decision Over
Montevideo After a Spirit
ed Contest.
The High School debate, Willmar
vs. Montevideo, at the Willmar opera
house last Monday evening was a
cljosely contested and in every way
eqjoyable affair. The Willmar de
baters were given the decision by a
v|te of two to one. It is the first
debate that has been held at Willmar
for a number of years and a large
and enthusiastic audience was presr
ent. President Russell Spicer of the
Board of Education presided. The
exercises opened with a song by the
High School Girls' Glee Club. Pres.
Russell Spicer then announced the
question for the debate: "Resolved,
!That the Federal Government Ought
&o Establish a Parcels Post System,"
infj announced that the Minnesota
i^jfetiules wonld_goverii in e^ry
particular. The audience was re
quested not to interrupt the speak
ers with applause. Each speaker
was given ten minutes for argument
and five minutes each in the rebut
tal, and spoke alternately, the af
firmative opening the argument and
closing the rebuttal. The Montevideo
team was composed of three boys.
They were Julian Haugland, son of
Attorney J. O. Haugland Ira Am
undson, son of the former sheriff of
Chippewa county, Amund Amund
son and Harold Lee. The Willmar
High School was represented by Miss
Borghild Sand, daughter of Gilbert
0. Sand, and a member of the senior
class Miss Myrtle Lindstrom,
daughter of Peter H. Lindstrom of
St. Johns township, and a member
of the Sophomore class and Alloys
Branton, son of J. F. Branton, of
this city, a member of the Junior
class. Montevideo supported the af
firmative side of the question. They
did not do as well in the start as
they did towards the close and in the
rebuttal. The debate was a spirited
one and both sides of the question
was thoroughly discussed. The
speeches were much enjoyed by the
audience and were all heartily ap
plauded,. While the judges were
making up their scores a quartette
composed of Misses Blanche McNees
and Esther Larson and Masters
John Feig and Sophus Larson ren
dered a selection which was heartily
applauded. The judges were Supt.
Hargess of the Litchfield schools,
Supt. A. Nelson of the New London
schools, and Attorney Champion of
Benson. They handed their envel
opes to the president, who on open
ing them, announced that two decid
ed in favor of Willmar and one for
Montevideo. The result was greeted
by the High School yells and con
gratulations followed to all the de
baters. After the debate a recep
tion was given by those of the High
School' students who had been elim
inated in the preliminary trial to the
debaters and the visiting guests. A
three course luncheon was served in
the rooms of the Domestic Science
department of the Willmar Associat
ed Schools. These rooms had been
decorated in the colors of the two
high schools. After the reception
the different departments located in
the Industrial building were visited.
This defeat is the second that the
Montevideo team has sustained this
year, Granite Falls having won from
them before. It is to be hoped that
Willmar will have a regular team
next year for the last Monday night's
debate showed that the people are
interested and that there is the right
kind of material in the high school
for a good team. Much credit is due
Miss Marie Lange of the high school
for her hard work in drilling the de
baters and helping the local high
school to win.
BUSINESS TO
OPEN IN JUNE
Wholesale Grocery Firm to Posh
Building and Get Ready
tor Operations.
The wholesale grocery company to
establish a business at Willmar has
been incorporated with a capital of
$50,000 under the name of "H. G.
Mooney & Co." James A. Nichols of
the Nichols-Chisholm Lumber Co. of
Frazee, Minn., is president EL G.
Mooney, formerly with the Stone,
Ordean, Wells Co. of Duluth, is vice
president B. Y. McNairy of Frazee.
Minn., is treasurer and R. M. Hicks,
who has been representing prominent
Duluth houses for several years in
Minnesota territory, was elected sec
retary. These four gentlemen make
up the first Board of Directors. Mr.
H. G. Mooney will be the manager
and will be actively assist- by Mr.
McNairy, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Robert
Bullock, who is also an active part
ner, and these four gentlemen wil
move to Willmar with families in the
near future. A commodious ware
house of concrete and brick will be
built at once and will be hurried to
completion as soon as possible. The
firm expects to open for business
June 1st. One important fact in this
new development for Willmar is the
reduced" freight rates that are us
ually granted to jobbing centers. In
this case the reduction will amount
ito 3% cents per hundred pound's.
This concession has already been
granted and goes into effect as soon
as this firm opens for business. The
concession covers nearly everything
in the grocery line and will amount
to a very large and direct relief to
every eonsumer tributary to the city.
The new firm declares that it wil be
their policy to carry a staple line of
groceries only, but intend to carry
these lines steadily and consistent
so that the tributary territory can
always depend on them for a steady
source of supplier. They will sell
strictly at wholesale and to dealers
only. The railroad company will
grant them a long time lease on the
rj^ht-of-w^y^••"At a
tion on Seventh Street on the tracks
opposite from the Farmers' Elevator
had been decided upon, but this ac
tion was rescinded and the exact lo
cation has not been determined up to
this time. The establishment of this
enterprise marks a new era in the
development of our city and will con
stitute one of the biggest improve
ments in sight for 1912.
To My Fellow Citizens:
Now that election is over let us
drop what differences we may have
among ourselves as to how municipal
affairs should be run and proceed
each one to do his best towards
building up a bigger and better Will
mar and to help what we can towards
building up the surrounding coun
try. We cannot all agree on some
questions—if we could it would be
a dull and monotonous world—and
we should be able to recognize the
fact that we may differ and still be
good, honest and earnest citizens.
Thanking you one and all for the
support given me, I am,
Yours very truly,
L. A. TJOSVOLD.
