Hazen will be elected sheriff of Beltrami county by an overwhelming majority is conceded by every well-informed voter in the county. Mr. Hazen made a whirlwind cam- paign at the rrimaries, and was easily nominated. He deserves the office, and will get it by a splendid vote. To The People of Beltrami County. I wish to thank the people of the county for the unanimous re- nomination to the office of County superintendent of schools at the recent primary election. If re elected I will continue to devote my time and energy in working fer the best interests of the schools. I will endeavor at all times to assist home teachers, securing for them Summer Training Schools with the ablest instructors the state can furnish and thus keep them in touch with the better things pertaining to their work. Normal training will be encour- aged, meetings of the school boards will be held and visiting of schools will continue, In this lat- ter work alone, during the past year 119 visits were made while for the same length of time my W. B. STEWART. predecessor made, 71 twelve of which were made in Bemidji. In doing this work from Jan. 11th to the following May 13th of this year 1360 %% miles were traveled of which 237 were by team, 268 on tcot, 26 by boat and the remainder by rail, Notwithstanding the fact that there is a much larger number of schools in the county, 12 being added the past year, there is still a very much larger percentage of teachers in the schools holding first and second grade certificates than at any previous time, an ex- cellent condition of ~educational growth. My observations lead me to believe the work of the past year and a half has been very pleasing as well as successful on the part of teachers and pupils to school boards and patrons as well as to myself. Beleving I have lived up to the full m:asure of confidence p'aced in me, I solic't your co-operation in the interests ot the schools of the ccuuty and ask your support ‘at the general election, Nov. 3rd, 1908, Sincerely yours, 1. 0. HARRIS, Republican Candidate for Re-election as Regis. ter of Deeds. Reports from all parts of the county indicate the re-election of Mr. Harris, by a good majority. He has made a splendid official, and there is almost an unanimity for his retention in the office of register of deeds. IMPORTANT DECISION. Rendered by North Dakota Supreme Court. Bismarck, N. D.. Oct. 3.,—The Re, publicans of the state will vote at the general gleotion nevt Tuesday ag Whether they want Thomas Marnhtfi or M. N. Johnson eleated by the legls: lature as United States senator. But the obligation resting on the members of the legislature to elect the man of their choice is only a. moral ebliga- Uon. Such i3 the effect of the do- cision hapded down by the supremo court in an epinion written by Judge Fisk. The court holds that the pledge to abide by the result of the primaries on the part of legislators on the sen- etorlal matter is unconstitutional and void. But it holds also that the right of tlie people to _vete on the matter of the senatorship is net a violation of the state or federal Constitution and directs that the primary election be held as a part of the proceedings at the general election.

Opposite City Hall 406 Minnesota Ave. OF CROOKSTON, MINN., THE RE ELECTION TO CONGRESS F HALVOR STEENERSON, PUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR RE- ROM THE NINTH DISTRICT. Halvor Steenerson was born in Wis- consin in 1852, but has been a resi- dent of Minnesota since 1853, his par- ents, who were among the earliest pioneers, having settled on a pre-emp- tion in the southeastern part of the | state in that year. He was reared on 8 farm and educated in the state schools and in the Union College of Law in Chicago; admitted to the bar | in 1878, removed to Crookston in 1880; was elected county attorney | that year and state senator in 1882, where he took a leading part in the enactment of the first law for the reg- ulation of railroads, and creating' the railroad and warehouse commission of this state, which has been the foundation of all subsequent legisla- tion on the subject. In 1893 he ini- tiated the celebrated grain rate case which was the first instance where the rate making power of the state over its railroads was judicially deter- mined and finally established. He was elected to congress in 1902 and re-elected in 1904 and 1906. He has served continuously during this time as member of the committee on Post Office and Post Roads and of The | Militia, of which latter committee he is chairman. During Mr. Steenerson’s service on the postoffice committee many important reforms have been enacted. Rural free delivery has been extended to nearly every country home, the compensation of rural car- riers increased from $600 to $720, and last year to $900. The compensation | of clerks and carriers in city offices and of railway mail clerks has also been equitably adjusted and increas- ed, while the compensation of the railways for transporting the mails has been reduced so as to result in an annual saving of more than eight mil- lions of dollars, thus more than mak- ing up for the increased compensation to clerks and carriers. In order to carry out the recom- mendations of President -Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft for the strengthening of our national de- fenses, Mr. Steenerson, as chairman of the committee on The Militia, intro- duced in the last session of congress the bill to promote the efficiency of the militia and forced it through the house against the opposition of both republican and democratic floor lead- ers. The passage of this bill against such opposition fixed Mr. Steenerson’s position in the house as one of the strong men of that body, whose influ- ence will count for a great deal in the future. This is one of the laws the passage of which is especially com- mended in the republican national platform and by the president. Mr. Steenerson took a strong stand both in the 59th congress and in the last session for tariff revision. He in- troduced two bills providing for a tariff commission, and urged their consideration upon the Committee on Ways and Means, It was largely through his efforts that a resolution was finally agreed upon in the last session of congress under which all questions relating to the subject of tariff revision and readjustment are now being investigated by the com- mittees of the Senate and House pre- paratory to revision early mext year. He has also taken an active part in legislation for the regulation of railroads, concerning public lands, In- dians, drainage and conservation of natural resources. In addition to these matters of gen- eral concern, Mr. Steenerson has al- so secured the passage of a large number of private bills, such as pri- vate pension bills, public building bills, relief of soldiers, granting per- mission to build bridges and dams over navigable streams; and for the — reliet ot settlers on the public domain. It may be interesting to learn that Mr. Steenerson secured the enactment at the last session of congress of no less than twenty-four bills of a special nature, as follows: 12 pension bills, i 2 drainage bills, 2 bridge and 1 dam bills, 2 public buildings, 1 making St. Vincent a port of entry for the imme- diate transportation of merchandise, and 5 granting relief to settlers on the public lands. The work of a representative does not end with matters of legislation, however. He is constantly called upor to aid in the administration of the law through the different executive departments. The establishment of new rural and star routes, the expedit- |ing of the service thereon, the im- | provement or change in railway mail | service; the appointment of postmas- ters; the remedying of grievances of men in the civil service of the gov- ernment; the adjustment of claims against the government for mail con tractors, survey contracts and like claims. The allowance of pension claims of old soldiers and thelr widows, and customs claims, the aid- ing of persons whose relatives have been excluded under immigration laws, securing of government protection to citizens abroad, obtaining passports, the distribution of government free publications are only a few things that a congressman has to attend to. In fact, these services in behalf of the people ‘who are concerned with the government at Washington in its various branches and activities are more onerous than the legislative | duties of a member of congress. Mr. Steenerson has given his time and best efforts to his constituents without regard to party affiliations and that his services are appreciated is evidenced by the fact that he has Jjust been nominated for the fourth term without opposition. ‘When he was elected to congress, there were only nine rural routes es- tablished in the district; now there are more than 150 with complete county service in Otter Tail and Clay and part of Becker county, bringing the daily mail to every farmer’s home, thereby increasing the attractiveness and convenience of home life upon the farm. As early as his first election to congress, Mr. Steenerson announced as his platform and program the same measures for the regulation of interstate railroads and of monopolis- tic combinations or trusts as he has since helped to enact into law under the administration of President Roose- velt, and which, if elected, he will help to perfect and make more ef- ficient as experience has shown to be necesgary. ‘While in congress he has shown his independence and has often been counted among the “insurgents” and opposed to Speaker Cannon and he long ago announced that he was inde- pendent on the speakership and fa- favored such amendments to the House rules as would limit the present power of the speaker without destroy- ing the power of majority to do busi- ness. Before his advent in congress, Mr. Steenerson achieved a high place at the bar, and was especially success- ful in cases brought by him in behalt of laborers and employes of railroads and other industrial corporations to recover damages for personal injuries or death by reason of negligence of the employer. In his Barnesville speech, Sept. 28th, Mr. Taft, who was introduced by Mr. Steenerson, said, “I am glad to stand up by your tall congressman and congratulate you on having such a representative. He does you honor in Washington and looks after your interests, as I can assure yow."” J ust to remind you of the importance of sav- ingyourteeth. That’s my business. DR. G. M.
