LADIES OF GRAND RAPIDS Flere Tis. WHAT 'TIS 7? Ladies’ Tailor-Made Suits. To the Ladies of Grand Rapids: You and each of you are hereby most cordially invited to call at SOME POLITIGAL POINTERS. . Party calls for primaries and con- ventions have been issued by the prop- er authorities in Itasca county for the three prominent political organiza- tions—Democratic, People’s and Re- publican. The Democrats will hold their primaries for the election of dele- gates to the state and congressional conventions on June 4, and the coup- ty convention will follow on June, at Village hall in Grand Rapids, con- vening at 2 o’clock in the afternoon of that day. Nine delegates will be chosen for the state convention and six for the congressional, the former to be held at Minneapolis on June fs, and the latter at St. Cloud on June 14 The People’s party state and congres- sional commttees have called their respective conventions to meet in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Cloud on the same dates as fixed by the Democratic brethren, The primaries will be held on June 3, and the coun- ty convention to elect delegates to the two conventions—state and congres- sional—will be held in Grand Rapids on June 7th, at Village hall. Three delegates will be chosen to represent the party from Itasca county at both the state and congressional gather- ings. On May 28 the Republicans will select seven stalwart representa- tives of plutocracy and hard-money- to-get who will proceed to Anoka, in Anoka county, there to proclaim in favor of the re-nomination of Page Morris for congress. * * * That John Lind will be the guber- natorial nominee of the combined re- form forces of this state goes without saying. His heroic campaign in 1896 in behalf of the nght as he saw the right, has endeared his name to that class of voters in Minnesota who are laboring to bring about the inaugura- tion of an executive whose platform of principles will be plainly understood and one who has the courage of his convictions. Whether John Lind re- turns or not from the Cuban war in time to participate in the state cam- paign he willl ve the standard-bearer of the Democratic free silver forces.

Judge Collins comes next in strength on the Republican checker-board. He appears to be the favorite among a class of partisans who feel that the Republican machine is becoming ar- rogant and much tainted with cor- tuption. The judge has some strong points of respectability and 1s regard- ed as a clean man in public and pri- vate life. Innumerable, almost, ap- pears other mentionables in the pro- cession, Eustis and Mose Clapp are ever in evidence, either one of whom may prove decidedly obnoxious to any of the aspirants, It is very evi- dent that “bad blood” exists among the many dictatorial elements of the g. 0. p. and much internal damage is likely to result. * * The congressional nominations in the Sixth district are easily forecast. it requires no polltical sage or seer to know that Charles A. Towne will be chosen, without one dissenting vote by three parties—Silver Republican, Peo- ple’s and Democratic—to defeat Page Morris. ‘The Herald-Review has no hesitency in staking its reputation as a political prophet in predicting the election of Mr. Towne by a majority as great as that accorded him when he defeated M. R. Baldwin in 1894. Our Republican friends throughout the district are almost unanimously disgusted with the pecksniffian record of Morris. He was picked up and nominated two years ago through the agency of two errors of judgment: first, the Republicans overestimated his ability both as an orator and states- man; and second, his brainless au- dacity was mistaken for political hero- ism. In both cases the mask has been completely removed and the} smallness of the man 1s revealed and understood by friends and opponents | alike. Through the federal appoint- ments secured by him in the district he has made more enemies ‘than friends. Yet, to turn him down be- fore his first tern is finished would be political suicide for the party, and again it is urged by prominent Repub- licans that since Page fooled the party it will only be fair play to fool him right back again, instead of leading some innocent but abler man to the Crockery Theis.

King has been secretly conniving,| with certain ambitious ones in other: counties to secure for himself a nomi- nation to the lower house and give’ McCarthy “de-cold-tro-down.” He only hopes to make an apparent split in the party and thus inspire outside confidence 1n his Itasca county “pull,” It has been given out on the, quiet that Three-thousand-dollar Hank has framed up a combination with Shenff Mauston of Aitkin county, who, is a candidate for the state senate. The mild-mannered and many-faced Hen- ty did not want his schemes made public in this direction until such time as they might develop to maturity or prove unavailing In the latter event he could trim for a renomination for his present position. Since the Her alc-Review has caused a premature explosion of the charge the deal may be denied; but the wires were origin- ally laid, nevertheless. King has no hepe of re-election to the office of county auditor and without a public graft he could no longer exist. Aitkin county has all kinds ot legislative jack- pines to draw from on the Republican side, no less than a half-dozen having already been officially trotted out for consideration. Cass county insists on being in it. Carlton county will not be ignored, while Itasca must be rec- ognized or something will drop that will produce a silvery echo when the votes are reckoned up. In the mean- while the Democrats are making little noise but in due time strong men will be nominated harmoniously and will be elected. * * * Itasca county politicians and woud- bes of all parties are just now sparning for position, and many of them are al- ready winded from over training. The aspirants for the office of sheritf are perhaps more numerous and pro- nounced than are the applicants for any of the other positions to be given out by our sovereign citizens. Sheriff Toole. will ,declne a renomination, | having served the county in that ca- pacity during the past six years with signal ability. He could no doubt be re-elected if he choose to make the run. Among the Democrats who are willing to assume the duties of the office and make an attempt to secure the nomination are D. W. Doran, T. H. Hennessy and Charles Kearney.

Driving Improved by Rains, Driving conditions on the upper - Mississippi river materially changed frum-what: they . were a week or two - ago, owing to: the rains of the pres- ent:week.. Some of. the smaller - strgams: tributary. to the main nver havea sufficient head of water with ; whichrto bring out fogs, but for the . most part the side streams and the,. main have-been very low. Price Bros. of Prairie River will be . able to get out all of their drives as they have taken special pains to dam _ the streams,: and hold the head water with witch to-bring out their cut. As is well known, the Winnebigosh- . dam .has beem. abandoned by the government, and: there is no head of water on the lake. The Leech lake dam is in good condition, and there is a fair amount of: water in the lake, which will be,let out. later in the sea- son when there is, mere especial need - of it, Onsome of the smaller streams private dams have been built and t he logs will be brought owt to he ma in river with but little, diffieulty. Between Grand Rapids and Brain- erd there 1s very little being done on the river. The drives. the neigh- borhood of Aitkin aze hung up, and will be until there is an anditional sup- ply of water in the river. The Itasca Lumber Co. has.a large crew of men lying idle waiting. for the. driving season to begin. Last year they commenced the first of April, but the prospect is that they will be unable to commence for some days. yet. The company also has a crew. of 25 men working on the bridge at White Oak Lake where its logs will be dumped. The men are laying steel, repairing the approaches, and build- ind roll ways. It is expected that trains will be running over this road in two or three weeks, ana hauling about 20,000,000 feet of logs, which have been banked in the last two sea- sons in Potato and Grove lakes at the. present northern terminus of the road. about 25 miles from Deer River. The Bonness & West Co., which has done a considerable amount of. logging on the Winnebigoshish Indian reservation during the past season, is building a new steam barge which will be used in towing some 20,000,- 000 feet of logs belonging to the com- pany across Lake Winnebigoshish. my store and examine a magnificent line of Ladies’ Tailor-Made Suits and Skirts which have just been received.

He received a commission arid is now at the front; but the people know him and after the election in November next John Lind will be recalled—if the war con- tinues at that time—sto occupy. the seat now held by Governor Clough. * * * The same unanimity and harmony dogs not exist in the Republican ranks—not by a Remington rifle shot!

Some Every Republican 1n the four counties who has attained sufficient prominence to have his name appear in public print once or twice a year considers himself an available and desirable candidate for legisl&tive honors. Hon, D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids, who ably served the people in that capacity for two terms, declines to ac- cept a renomination, but he is the only prominent member of the party who has so declared himself in the tally sheets thus far checked up by the Herald-Review political editor.

Inasmuch, however, as the county conventions are not likely to be held until September, it will be time enough next week to resume the possibilities all along the line. Tweniy-one men left the employ of in Carlton county, says the Pine Knot. Mr. Hawkins was assured that they would be recognized by the'state, and would be first upon the next call for troops avd that they would be furnish- ed with belts and guns as soon as a sufficient number had volunteered.
