County option will be defeated by the incoming Minnesota legislature. This was indicated by the make-up of the senate and the house as known last evening. Returns are complete on the senators and there are but few districts in which the house members are not known. The county option question was the issue in most of the legislative districts. It was the campaign cry of William E. Lee. On that issue, many candidates went down to de- feat. In some instances men- were elected on that issue alone. : Conservative estimates are that county option will lose in the senate by four votes. It is expected that the anti-county option vote in the house will have a big majority. ‘With returns in from most of the legislative districts, talk of who the speaker of the house will be has al- ready started. With an anti-county | —m— —————————————— option house, it is doubtful whether Sam Y. Gordon, Lee supporter and county optionist, will have a chance. The name of H. H. Floker of Clove- land, Le Sueur county, was among the first to be mentioned for speaker. In the last legislature Mr. Flower was not' known to be rabid one way lim that utter them, and the pres— ident’s bravery in ignoring political ‘considerations and in squarely fac- out of the European war will reap its due reward.—Wabasha Herald. s On the average about 100 pen- 'sioners a day are passing away. The highest number on the pension list ‘ers was 998,441. In 1914, just nine years later, the number reported is 785,239. The old age pension act of 1912 put a large number of new men on the list. who could make no claim on account of wounds or other war disability. They are old, how- ever, and feeble and their old age pension will serve most of them but a very short .time.—Red Wlng Re- publican. There is some excuse for the wo- ‘folks of the family refuse to exer- cise this great privilege, as is too frequently the case. The privilege of having a vote in the affairs of government through the selection of public officials was purchased in this country by the greatest sacrifices that men can make, and therefore every man who enjoys this privilege should cherish it enough to want to exercise it whenever the opportunity offers. Moreover, it is only by all the citizens exercising this privilege that good government can be secured and assured.—Luverne Herald. MUCH IN LITTLE.
