WHO IS WH0 (Continued from first page.) surplus of $20,000 laid up. All this was accomplished without any in- crease in taxation. Mr. Torrance nev- er claims the credit for this change but his.friends insist that he be giv- en at least an equal share with the other members of the board, Drs. Marcum and Smith, A. A. Warfield, T. J. Andrews and J. P. Lahr. During 1910 Mr. Torrance was ap- pointed city attorney by the coun- cil of Bemidji and took an active in- terest in the office. . When Mr. Funk- ley resigned as county attorney in Jure, 1911, Mr. Torrance was se- lected as the logical man to succeed to the office. He has held the office since his appointment and now comes before the voters of the coun- ty as a candidate for renomination on the Republican ticket. During the last term of court, Mr. Torrance was instrumental in plac- ing many criminals behind the bars. Perhaps the best known of his cases were the conviction of Joe Le Fave for setting fire to a Baudette home in which a woman and some children were sleeping; the conviction of Wil- liam Sly, 2 man who had defied the Bemidji police for years; and the conviction of Jack Carlton, another who had long escaped the clutches of the law. All three men are now serving sentences in Stillwater. Among fellow members of the bar, Mr. Torrance is known as a man of ability, integrity and fearlessness, and the voters of the county are as- sured by his friends that they will make no mistake when.they renomi- nate and elect him to continue in the office. The county attorney is the advisor of the board of commission- ers and the present board has never expressed any dissatisfaction with Mr. Torrance. MAINE IS DOUBTFUL (Continued from first page.) showed conclusively that the prohi- bition sentiment throughout the state, which has always been a great asset of the Republicans, has mater- ially weakened. The liquor question has been largely eliminated as an issue in the present campaign, al- though the Democrats promise if re- turned to power to give the voters an opportunity to pass upon a con- stitutional .amendment which will sive local option to the cities and large towns. The Republicans have endeavored to keep local issues to the fore in the campaign, while the Democrats have paid most attention to the tariff and other national questions. Governor Marshall of Indiana, Speaker Champ Clark and a host of other noted Dem- ocratic leaders who have stumped the state the past ten days have so confin- ?d their remarks solely to national issues. Opinion differs as to the effect that the advent of the Progressive party will have on the result of the elec- tion. The Progressives have not put a state ticket in the field and this has led the old party to believe that the Progrissives as a whole will support the regular Republican nominees. The Republican candidate for gov- ernor is William T. Haines of Wa- terville, a former attorney general of Maine. He is oposed by Governor Frederick W. Plaisted, Democrat. The contest for United States senator is between Edwin C. Burleigh, who Was a representative in congress for many years, and the present Demo- cratic senator, Obadiah Gardner, Who was named last spring to succeed William' F. Frye. Maine will also elect four congress- men. In the First district, Tom Reed’s old district, Asher C. Hinds, Republican, is opposed by Michael T. O’Brien, a Portland lawyer. In the Second, the district which was repre- sented by Frye, Dingley and Little- field, the Republican candidate is William B. Skelton of Lewiston, a former state bank examiner and one of the shrewdest politicians in the district. He hopes to defeat Con- gressman Daniel J. McGilliouddy, the Democratic incumbent. In the Third district Congressman Samuel W. Gould, Democrat, is opposed by For- est Goodwin, a lawyer and former president of the state senate. In the Fourth district the contest lies be- tween John A. Madigan and Frank E. Guernsey, Republican, who is now oldest in point of service of the four Maine congressmen. PROF. JUERGENSON DEAD.
