Peterson and Lindom THOUGHT WELL OF “Do¢” - AS STATE GAME WARDEN " |Executive Agent of -Game and Fish Commission Sorry for the Resig- nation of Rutledge. It has come to my ears that W. R. Tait, who has lived in this city for a year or so past, has been boast- ing that he caused me to resign the position as game warden for the State Game and Fish commission, through his superior“pull” with Gov- vernor Johnson, etc., and also that the said Tait has attempted to blacken my character as a state official during the past six years. Under ordinary conditions, I would pay no attention to the boastings of a man whose every act is two-faced, and whose recent work in campaigning would disgrace any “square” man. However, I wish my friends to know exactly what the State Game and Fish commission thought of me and my services as a warden, and I herewith reproduce a letter writren to me by Carlos Avery, executive agent of the State Game and Fish commission, concern- ing my resignation: “St. Paul, Sept 28. “Mr. A. G.

Bemid WRIGHT, BY 53, ARE OFFIGIAL RETURNS \g Official Returns as Given Pioneer by County Auditors of District Give Above Results. Contest for Judgeship Is Closest in History of District. —Winner Little to Spare. The Pioneer has made a careful returns on the judgeship contest in the Fifteenth Judicial district, without prejudice to either of the contestants in the late election, B. F. Wright, the republican candidate, and Judge C. W. Stanton, non-par- tisan candidate for election to suc- ceed himself on the bench. Today we canvassed the different counties, by telephone and telegraph, and the following 15 the result,which includes the vote in Beltrami county, which was officially * completed, as far as the judgeship is concerned. The figures as given to the Pio- neer, and as returned to us, give Mr. Wright the election by the very small majority of 53 votes. The following is each man’s ma- jority, in the county which he carried. WRIGHT’S MAJORITIES. Hubbard county............. 847 1tasca COUDLY -« -+ vvenveennn. 322 Clearwater county. Cass county...... STANTON’S MAJORITIES. Beltrami county. - Crow Wing county... Koochiching county.......... itkin county..e.oeeecenen.. sample all-wool Aftidn_county, Whether Judge Stanton will con- test the election, the Pioneer is not prepared to state, as we are not informed as to the -judge’s stand in the matter. The result is very close, and it is barely possible that an official recount would reverse the result. Be that as it may, the ‘local friends of Judge Stanton stood loyally by the judge, and he is to be congratulated on the very strong vote which he was given in this county. ; ji, Minnesota Y T LT T e 775 e Bt o
