A most noticeable
feature of the front page of
The New Ulm Enterprise this
issue is an item that might
escape the attention of the
average reader.
But it is one of the
most important things to the
publishers.
That speaking, of
course, is the fact that the
New L'lm Enterprise has grown
another year older and is be-
ginning its 58th year of pub-
lication.
Voters in the com-
ing general election who
moved into the county on or
after May 5, 1968. must vote
in the county clerk's office by
November L according to
information received from
Austin County Clerk, Law-
rence Dittert.
Formerly, persons
who moved from one county
to another could not vote
during the first six montiis
after the change of residence,
but a new law enacted last
year now perm its them to vote
on all sutewide offices, in-
cluding President and Vice
President, and on proposed
constitutional amendments,
but not on local offices and

Cattle Killers

This is a free
country - vote the way you
want to and be proud to cast
your opinion.

folks have sacrificed their
lives in the defense of that
belief for that right to be
thrown away.
With the final two
weeks of the campaign pro-
mising plenty of activity,

continuation of a very active
race for the post of State Land
Commissioner.
Mr. Neptune has
campaigned hard since he
entered the race and it looks
likehe'll be going strong right
down to the wire.

Ranch for a short time.

area through the years.
And it will con-
tinue to do so.
With the potentials
of the future so evident in this
area, we can again dedicate
the New L'lm Enterprise to the
good of die area.
And look forward
to getting another year older.
So many folks have
been so good, so friendly and
so nice to The Enterprise -
they deserve our most gracious
“Thank You".
And now \olume
58 of The New Ulm Enterprise
begins with issue Number 1.
These last two
weeks before the elections
should prove to be quite in-
teresting.
There have been
some private and public pre-
dictions of a lot of "mud-
slinging" to cut loose just
prior to the election.
The main develop-
ments are predicted to be in
the presidential race where
the Democrats and the Repub-
licans seem to be channeling
their energies to block the
rapidly-expanding status of
American Party candidate
George Wallace.
There will be many
charges and all sorts of alle-
gations coming forth.
The best thing dial
a voter can do is be very
careful in listening to these
things.Some may be becom-
ing desperate.
There also will be
quite a bit of talk about your
vote not counting if it is not
cast in a certain way.
The only way a
vote will not be counted is if
it is not dropped in a ballot
box.

Accadiqg to marks
and evidence left at the scene
of the crime, the thieves ap-
parently shot me calf as it
stood near the toad, then
dragged it through the fence
onto the roadway where i
large pool of blood was left.
The calf was tfien
apparently loaded into a ve-
hicle and taken off.
Itwas the latest of
several incident of similar
nature that have been occur-
ing in the area.
Earlier in the year,
three head of cattle bad been
killed on Sugar Ridge Ranch,
just aero* the road from the
latest incident.
Unofficial reports
indicate that a number of
cattle have taned up musing
a have been found d>ot in

dox in Bellville said Wednes-
day maning that his investi-
gation was continuing.
He also said that
the agent fa The Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raiten
Aaociation had been called
into the case.
Lawmen indicate
that they are not certain as
to whether the animals are
going into home freezers a
whether the thieves are in-
volved through some commer-
cial outlet.
Not all of the cat-
tle that have been killed were
hauled away fa potential
butchering. Some were left
in the pasture where they had
been shot.

day night apparently took
