Call and See Them Children, WORTHY OF SUPPORT Candidates Who Will be Elected on the Third of November BY THE PEOPLE OF ITASCA The Herald-Review Presents Today Some Facets Concerning Poputar Candidates With a Brief Sketch of Their Public Lives. One week from next Tuesday all Americans will exercise their sover- eignty as citizens of this great Repub- lic. The campaign has been one ot unusual intensity and it has been pro- ductive of more earnest political study by the masses of the people than any that has ever before taken place in the United States. The minds of the voters are already fixed as to how they will vote on national issues. There will be few changes from this time until election day. The Herald- Review deems it an opportune time to call attention to the qualifications of the Democratic aud People’s Party candidates for “legislative and county offices. FOR STATE SENATOR Hon. Thomas R. Foley, the Dem- ocratic candidate tor state senator is ‘one of the most respected business men of Aitkin, in our adjoining coun- ty, where those who have known him long and have had intimate business relations with the candidate always speak in the most favorable terms of his honesty and capability. His friendship among the laboring men and farmers of this distrct is of the strongest nature. He was elected a member of the twenty-seventh legis- lature in 1890 (the only representative ever elected on the Demoeratic ticket in this district) and his record abounds with valuable measures which through his ability and active efforts were secured for his constituents. Such experience as his is of incalculable value and his large acquaintance throughout the state make him a man of most valuable influence for the in- terest of the citizens of this vast north- em district of the state. He has been through the pioneer development of Northern Minnesota’s lumbering in- dustry and understands its needs partic- | ularly in the interest of the wage earn- ers who will be doing themselves the { greatest service in voting for Hon. ‘Thomas R. Foley for state senator. FOR REPRESENTATIVE. Daniel W. Doran, the unanimous nominee of the Democratic, Peoples party and National Silver conventions, was born at Charlotte, Munroe county N.Y., August 15 1846. His parents oved to New London, Wisconsin, dduring his youth he worked in ¢ lumber woods of Wisconsin and | Michigan. In June ’73_ he married to Miss Kate E. Allen of Waupaca county, Wisconsin. He moved to Swift county, Minn., in ’78 and engaged in farming and moved in ’83 to Aitkin where he engaged in the lumber and livery business. He came to Grand Rapids and opened the Hotel Pokegama in ’g1 and built the Hotel Gladstone in ’92. He main- tains this as one of the largest and best hotels northwest of Duluth. He is a favorite with the woodsmen and his fine farm on the edge of town D. W. DORAN. shows his spirit of push and enterprise in itsrapid development. The farmers and woodsmen are very friendly to Mr. Doran. His record is clear and open. ‘The businessmen admire his manly qualities and the wage earners regard him with great friendship. He knows the wants of the peopie and pushes his efforts in their behalf. ing member and otticer of the organi- zauons for the benetit of Itasca county and in the work ot Northern Minn- esota development he 1s a diligent laborer and always ready to give at- tention to the welifare ot the general public. His quick precepuon, broad views and commanding figure are well suited to repersent the peopie in the halls of legislation. FOR COUNTY AUDITOR, William C. Lacroix, candidate for county auditor, is a pioneer resi- dent of Itasca county, has taught school and has had a_ business experience which will be of much val- uc in the management of county af- fairs. He is highly esteemed by all who know him. He has had a liberal education, and in keeping the accounts for lumbermen in this district, his work bas attracted marked attention and at the same time his all around abilities have rapidly won him friends, His inendship has e.tended through- out the county. ‘The laboring forces appreciate him and he will poll a handsome vote trom various sources. His opponent has succeeded, during the years while he has held the oi- fice, in making for himself a great many personal enemies, and the additional fact that the affairs of the county which come immediately under the supervision of the auditor are in many instances open to the severest criticism, makes his election doubly sure. ‘The people of the county demand a change, and in the candida- cy of William C. Lacroix they haye a Asa lead-} jing his election was j man worthy of their full confidence and warm support. The Herald- W. C. LACROIX. Review has no hesitency in predict- by a_ handsome majority on November 3. FOR SHERIFF. Sheriff M. L. Toole is up for re- election, having been nominated un- animously by the Democrats and en- dorsed by the Republicans. The action of the conventions was con- clusive proot of the high esteem in which Sherift Toole is held. He was here in the earliest days, when steam- boating was a lively feature of the business on the upper Mississippi, and has been actively identified with M. L. TOOLE. every movement in the growth and develoyment of Itasca county. He came from the Twin Cities and 1s knwn from there to the Canadian boundary. Few men are known so well and respected so highly as Shentt Toole. His business ability 1s far above the average, and although he was a hard worker among the pioneers in steamboating and lumbering in the early settlement of Northern Minne- sota, he has always maintained a store of valuable information that has made him one of the best posted men in the northwest, His knowledge of .baoks is as remarkable as his practical ex- penence in general affairs. He is naturally of a genial disposi- ton and his fends are not only numerous but they stick to him through thick and thin, In conducting his office he has gained the admiration of the general public and the respect of all with whom he has had to deal. His physical pro- portions are equal to his strong mental powers and he is in every way fitted to successfully conduct the re- sponsibilties of the position His faithfulness in office and the real value of his experience to the county will not be overlooked by those who have at heart the best interests of the people. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. Thomas J. Welsh, the Democratic nominee for treasurer, is well known | and well liked, especially among the woodsmen, His record is unquestion- able, Born in Ontonogan, Mich., in 1870, he attended school until the age of 15, when he was thrown upon his THOMAS J. WELSH. own resourses and worked in the woods in winter and in the mills in summer. In 1889 he took the com- mercial course at Valpariso, and proved to be particularly expert in the handling of accounts. He graduated with high honors, :nd was attracted to Minnesota where the inducements to secure land and employment were so favorable. He arrived here in | February, 1892, took up a homestead in the Red Lake district and atter the first year, finding it necessary to work, he secured employment with Powers & Dwyer until the present summer. His ability in attending to the book- keeping and accounts is most highly spoken of by those who employed him and has attracted the favorable; attention otf men in __ business. There are many here who have watched his progress and who admire the attention and facility with which he conducts business. His genial manners make him deservedly popular and he gives every indication of poll ing the strong and winning vote for the office to which he has been nomi- nated. . FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY. Attorney Frank F, Price is the can- didate «for county attorney on the Democratic and Peoples’ Party tickets. He is a most active advocate of the peoples’ cause and his earnest efforts have been directed freely and frequent- ly in their interests. He has always been a staunch friend of labor and takes up a poor man’s case just as readily as any one else’s even if the fee is lack ng. His success in making collections for those who had claims FRANK F. PRICE. for wages, has been quite equal to his splendid record in other departments of jaw practice. He was assistant city attorney of St. Paul under Daniel W. Lawler, and came here a few years ago to cast his fortunes among the pioneers of Itasca county. His zealous work in public matters from time to time has given him special prominence throughout Northern Minnesota and none are better pleased to call him their friend than the labor- ing classes. The woodsmen and settlers in general hold nim in high regard. His position before the peo- ple is in striking contrast to the stand of his opponent C. C. McCarthy, who is recognized as the representative of monopoly, and takes pride in uphold- the causes of corporate and capitalistic power. There is no Republican. silk stocking aristocrasy about Candidate Price, wiio has proved his friendship for the people and who will run far ahead of ali the silk stockings when tlie votes are cast on November 3. FOR REGISTER OE DEEDS. Charles Kerney, Democratic. nom- inee for Register of Deeds has pitted against him, perhaps the most formid- able candidate as far as popularity and ability is concerned—A. B. Clare, the Republicnn nominee. Mr. Kear- ney’s long residence here, how- ever, and the great satisfaction he has given in the offices which he hus held trom time to time, are elements. that make his success certain. . He is recognized as a true friend of the labor- ing interests and his . efforts for the meterial advancement of the county, and.1n the development ot its agricul tural resources have been well directed and- are appreciated by all. Judge Kearney has toiled. faithfully in the ranks of labor and has also had a val- uable buisness experience which makes: him particularly well fitted to conduct the affairs of a public office. It is unnecessary to enter into a lengthy CHARLES KEARNEY. analysis of his capabilities as every one knows that the Judge is worthy of the strongest support. F FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE. The subject of this sketch is too modest to permit of any extended re- marks concerning his manifold qualifi- cations for the office for which he was nominated by two purties—inasmuch as he 1s editor and proprietor of the Herald-Review and doesn’t believe in blowing his own bazoo. It is suffi~ cient to call attention to the fact that hehas given the people of Itasca E. C. KILEY, county one of the.ablest and most interesting papers published in the state of Minnesota for more than two years. and. will continue to do so in the future. He was nominated by the Democratic and Peoples’ Party conventions, FOR CLERK OF COURT P. H. Varley, candidate tor clerk of the District court on the Democratic ticke’, 1s one of the best known m:n in the county, his faithful service as deputy sheriff being recognized by all. He has been always prompt 1in_ the discharge of duty and some of the Continued on Page Eight. acca mm ln A ORE Aen
