SIMILAR NAMES
Two Men With Same Name Claim
Same Nomination in St. Paul and
Both Refuse to Quit.
—
ST. PAUL, March lti. What’s in
a name? There are two men in St.
Paul who have been attempting for
the i*ist two months to figure out
just what there is in their names.
They both bear exactly the same
names down to the very last letter •
and to the pronunciation. Their name
is Atiust Ilohenstein. One is a gro
cer and the other is agent for a life j
insurance company. Both are old re;-;
idents of St. Paul and both are today
in the running for the city council.
Neither is w illing to withdraw in ra
vor of his namesake.
Under the state law, the names that
appear on ballots cannot have any
designating mark. For instance, Aug
ust Hohenstein, the grocer, could not
have "No. 1” placed after his name
to set him apart from the life insur
ance of the same name. Compromises,
law suits, settlements and grand jury
indictments are threatened by both
Hohensteins to force each other to
withdraw but neither will give in and
the prospects are that both names will
go on the ballot. The attorneys who
are trying to adjust the matter are
on the verge of hysterics. They don’t ]
even know how they’ll tell which one
is elected.
