The vote on license stood 546 in fa- vor, 600 against and 87 blank. It has recently been discovered that under | the charter a majority of all votes cast must be against license in order to prevent the granting of licenses, so that the blanks count the same as if cast in favor of license. On this the- | ory the city council officially declared | the city “wet.” W. H. McBride, the no license candi- | date, and E. T. Nelson, the license | mayor. The council cast lots, Mr. Mc- Bride won and was duly declared mayor of the city. This further complicates the situa- tion, as three of the eight aldermen | have taken the ground that a majority of the people voted against license and | they do not propose to vote to grant | licenses in view of this showing. It is to grant them, but if the mayor inter- poses a veto no licenses can be grant- | ed with three voting against them. ‘TO FIGHT FOR THE BALLOT | Minnesota Woman Suffrage Associa- tion Incorporates. The Minnesota woman _ suffrage movement can now legally throw its | Easter bonnet in the political ring and | battle for the ballot to its heart’s con- tent. The Minnesota Woman Suffrage ‘ association has filed articles of incor- poration with the secretary of state. It is to be a sort of central body of the suffrage movement in Minnesota. Auxiliary bodies can become members | of the association by paying 10 cents a year for each member of the auxil- lary. This entitles the auxiliary to a Tepresentation in the deliberations of the central body. The articles of incorporation state that the purpose of the organization is to obtain suffrage for women in Min- nesota and the United States. SAY MINE IS MAN KILLER Fee Owners of the Norman Cancel Lease With Steel Trust. Pointing to the fact that nineteen lives have been lost in the last eight months fee owners of the Norman mine at Virginia have filed notice of a cancellation of the lease, which runs to the Oliver Mining company, a sub- sidiary of the United States Steel cor- poration. The fee owners say the mine is be- ing operated in a reckless manner and that it is being ruined for all future use after the lease expires next year. | It is said another cavein occurred a few days ago, when scores of lives would have been lost if it had hap- pened twenty minutes earlier or be- fore the men quit work. The fee own- ers are said to be planning a suit for heavy damages. SPOONER ENTERS THE RACE Morris Man Announces Candidacy for ; Governorship. | Lewis C.
