SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM THWING’S “BARREL” LOOKS GOOD TO HUSS. The Northern News, published at Spooner and edited by J. E. Huss, an imported article who lives in Baudette and has his business in Spooner, presents a double-column cut of the handsome counterance of Alfred L. Thwing of Grand Rapids, who aspires to the republican nomia- tion for judge of the Fifteenth Judi- cial district, and puts forth as the News man’s claim for votes for Thwing, the following convincing argument: “Itis with pleasure that we present the above, a picture of Mr. Thwing, to our readers, enabling them to more fully decide on the question of their vote at the coming primaries, to be held Sept. 15th.” The picture is complete, with the exception of a likeness of ex-Judge Spooner’s stenographer and the “barrel” claimed by the ex-court reporter to be in possession of Mr. Thwing, and the ‘“barrel” is un- doubtedly what “looks good” to Huss. By all means, Huss, get a picture of that “barrel,” which has undoubtedly inspired you to such brilliant efforts on behalf of the gentleman who livesin Itasca county with the gigantic steel trust, which controls the iron mines in Mr. Thwing’s home county. Undoubtedly, Mr. Thwing is an Adonis. No one ever accused B. F, Wright, Mr. Thwing’s opponent, of being handsome. On the con- trary, Mr. Wright is rather “homely,” as that expression goes; but he possesses a generous front on his forehead, which \‘ possession of a well-balanced set of brains, though he may have a very >4 common-looking countenance in con- s nection therewith. I “HEAPS OF TROUBLE ON OLD MAN’S MIND.” Since the Bemidji Sentinel was “Opsahlized,” that concern is rather divided against itself, and, judging - from current events, the spirit of “the legislature or bust” which dominates the Sentinel is bringing all kinds of trouble on the devoted head of “Colonel” Allen, who still poses as the “boss,” over across the way. Last week, the Blackduck Enter- prise printed what was purported to be a letter of inquiry from A. B. Allen to C. O. Moon, ex-deputy county auditor, wherein Brother Allen was supposed to inquirs of Mr. Moon concerning certain acts alleged to have been committed by County Auditor Wilmann. The same letter was answered in the Enterprise by Mr. Moon, indicating that Brother Allen was very “busy” in the con- test for county auditor. F The attention of Mr. Allen was i — [N called to the article in the Enter- prise, with the result that the “Colo- § nel” denies the authorship of the latter and severely censures those who were conducting the Sentinel office during his absence for allow- ing themselves to be “hoodwinked,” alleging that the letter was written in the office and signed with a type- writer. This was unfortunate for the “Colonel,” but only indicates the manner in which the Sentinel has been conducted since being *Opsahlized,” with “Long-distance” Opsahl, “Carpet-bagger” Brown and “Informer” Rood at the helm. DECLARED TO BE INSANE. Armed Man Who Attempted to Reach the President. Mineola, L. I, Sept. 9.—John Cough- 1in, the armed man who was arrested while attempting to reach the presi- v dent at Sagamore Hill, was examined by two physicians and pronounced in- sane. He will be sent to an asylum at Kings Park, L. L Boston, Sept. 9.—The police of this city believe that John Coughlin, who was arrested by secret service agents at Oyster Bay while attempgiing to se- ecure an interview with President Roosevelt, is John Coughlin of Wal- pole, Mass.,, who has been missing from his home in that town for about ten days. Valuable Package Stolen. . Portland, Ore., Sept. 9.—A package dutrusted to the care of the Wells- Fargo Express company at Salem, Ore., by J. R. Albert, pi®¥ident of the \\Oepital National bank of that ecity, and addressed to Joseph M. Meyers at the Portland hotel in this city, con- faining notes and other valuable pa- pers representing $52,000, is strangely iy missing. How the theft was accom- plished is almost as great a mystery to the express company officials as is the fdentity of the thieves. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER indicates the| I hereby announce that I am a candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for representative from this district, comprising Beltrami, Clearwater and Red Lake coun- ties, I believe I fully appreciate the mmportance and responsibility of this office. I have lived in the northern part of Minnesota for the last thirty years, and am familiar with the needs of the district. The present undevel- oped condition of the northern part of Minnesota is a shame on the part of our legislature, inas- much, as, it is the cause of Ameri- can people settling up the Domin- ion of Canada to the prejudice of our own country, which is more than equally as good in soil, rainfall and climate and nearer to markets. The first step toward develop- ment, I think is roads. The principal part of the road work should be done by the state be- cause it is the party substantially benefitted. Little dabs of three or four hundred dollars per town- ship per annum is of no avail in the work that the state should o0 in the matter of the develop- JOHN W HENRY FUNKLEY, Ropublican Candidate for Nomination for State Legis: lature, Sixty-First District. ment of its principal part—north- ern Minnesota. Political demgogues have slandered and libelled the good name of northern Minnesota by the hair-brained cry DRAINAGE, until central and southern Minne- sota are prone to look at northern Minnesota as if it were nothing but a frog pond. Drainage is all rightin its time and place, and there are sections where it is absolutely necessary, but the unmeaning cry of drainage by the politician has given us a black | eye that it will take time to over- come. It has discouraged immi- gration. Uppermost and above all, if I am elected, I will in season and out of season, vote and strive for substantial state aid for roads. And I believe I fully realize the fight I am up against in that the representation from the northern part is meager compared with the representation from the other parts of the state. But the whole |legislature must be made to see that the state roads are a substan- tial benefit to the whole state, I earnestly solicit your support. Respectfully, —Henty Funkley. ILMANN, Candidate for County Auditor. - I hereby announce to the public my candidacy for the Reputlican re-nomination for county auditor to be voted upon at the primary election, Sept, 15. I have held the office of county auditor for the past four years and in asking for re-nomination and re-election I come before the people as one who thoroughly understands the work of this im- portant office, I believe in an economical ad- ministration of the affairs of the county, a just and equitable assess- ment of real and personal property, During my term of office it has been my aim to familiarize myself 4 county and their needs, and in so doing have conducted the office for the whole county and not -tor any particular section. If nominated and elected I will give the duties of the office my closest personal attention, and conduct the affairs of the office in an intelligent manner. At this time I wish to thank all who have stood by me so faithfully and loyally in the past and hope I ment their continued’ support. To those whom I am not acquainted with I hope to meet you some day, I will appreciate work done for me by all who will kindly give me their support. Yours Truly, with the different sections of the John Wilmann.

TO FIGHT UNTIL | ELECTION DAY Bryan Will Remain-on Stump | Balarice of Campaign. s COUNCIL OF WAR IS HELD Democratic National Committeemen, Following Announcement That Taft Will Make 8peaking Tour Over Large Part of Country, Decide That Thelr Candidate Shall Not Remain Idle in October, as Planned. Chicago, Sept. 9.—Previous to the invasion of the East by William Jen- nings Bryan members of the Demo- cratic national committee held a coun- cil of war and for several hours stud- ied over the plans that have been de- vised to bring the Democratic cause to victory. While the national com- mitteemen were in session there were conferences of the advisory and finance committees and later all three committees joined in a general con- ference in which Mr. Bryan took a leading part in the deliberations. ‘While no definite announcement has been made it is generally believed by national committeemen that the effort to have Mr. Bryan take the stump during the entire month of October will prove successful. With the an- nouncement that Mr. Taft will make a speaking trip through the Middle West and the East the Democratic leaders believe that the fight should be forced all along the line until election day and that to that end Mr. Bryan should continue his speaking trips until the campaign ends. National committee- men from the Far West are trying to prevail upon Chairman Mack to send the candidate to the . Pacific coast states, but whether Mr. Bryan will make the long westward swing will depend in great measure on plans made for Mr. Taft’s stumping tour. Chairman Mack and other members of the committee are not a little con- cerned over the question whether Mr. Bryan’s strength would enable him to duplicate the arduous campaign of 1896, though Mr. Bryan has said that he is willing to do whatever the com- mittee feels is required to make an effective fight. The Bryan and Kern Business Men's association, with Nathan Straus cf New York as president and E. L. Gol- tra of St. Louis as vice president, was formally launched upon the political sea at a meeting of the Democratic national committee here. The work of organizing these clubs, which are expected to appeal strongly to the business interests of the country, will be begun with vigor immediately. REAR PLATFORM TALKS. Taft Makes a Number of Speeches in Ohio. Sandusky, O., Sept. 9.—William H. Taft, as the ready campaigner, was given his second ‘“tryout.” He spoke from here to Cincinnati. Most of his speeches were from the rear platform of his train and presented all shades of conditions in oratorical “roughing it.” His first political speech was at a rally in the theater here, although he got his voice warmed up by an ad- dress to the old soldier residents of the Erie covnty Soldiers’ home. Besides the speeches he delivered here he spcke at Tifiin, Carey, Whar- ton, Forest, Bellefontaine, Urbana, Springfield, Dayton and other places. In his speech at Sandusky Mr. Taft not only ridiculed Mr. Bryan’s claim to be the heir or the father of the Roosevelt policies, but delivered him- -] self of an emphatic pledge, after an- alyzing the more important of these policles, “that if elected I propose to devote all the ability that is in me to the constructive work of suggesting to congress the means by which the Roosevelt policies shall be clinched.” HUGHES - STRONGEST MAN Opinion of New York Callers at Pres- ident’s Home. Oyster Bay, N. Y.
