Vou XI.—No. 4. Granp Rapips, Irasca Cou sco _ SUPPLIES The opening of school calls for the purchase of various items that go to make up a pupil’s equipment. Some of the things needed cost but little, yet it’s worth while to buy them where they cost least, or where the extra quality or quantity is given for the same money. Five cent tablets can be found almost anywhere, but if you want the best tablet that five cents can buy you should come here for it, Can serve you equally well on everything in the line of school supplies. oe RE !

He GRAND RAPIDS. ] TORT Ty THE PARTY FEELS HOPEFUL, the Democracy of the Eighth Dis- q trict Starts Into the Campaign With ‘Renewed Energy. While the Republicans of the Eighth congressional district have been engaged in factional turmoil for these many months, the Demo- cracy has been saying little, but con- tinued to saw political wood. It has long been apparent on every hand that the people of the district are by no means satisfied with any of the candidates of the republican party— from Jellison down to Bede. The Republican leaders are discouraged and disgusted all over the district, and they do net hesitate to openly make known their feelings as to t congressional situation. The lar, business interests of this immen district demand that the congr sional representative shall be a mai of good judgment; one who undef sands the needs of his constituents in every county; one who will inspire the confidence of the people and com> mand the respect of his colleagues ip the national house of representatives. Such a man is Captain» Marcus L. Fay of Virginia, who has filed for the Democratic. nomination, Captain Fay had long been urged by repre- sentatives of the party from all ov the district to become the candidat of the Demoeracy, but not until last moment did he consent to all the use-of his name in that connee tion. The more his name was d cussed the more it became appare that Captain Fay could not only. carry the full strength of his Bf party but would find among.the’ 6p: }- position a following that will insuré’ his election at the polls on the fourth of November next. It is conceded that Bede will be the Republican nominee and it is also conceded that his nomination will inevitably cause a defection in the party ranks that makes more than probable the elec- tion of a m&n like M. L. Fay, if the Democratic party will take advantage of the opportunity and make him their standard bearer in the present campaign. Anyone who has travéled over the Hight district and has taken occasion to talk politics is well aware of the feeling that exists among lead- ing Republicans as to their candi- dates. They realize that this district, more than any other in the state of Minnesota, should have a business representative in congress. With Captain Fay in the fleld they are given the opportunity to vote for -|such a candidate, and he is already receiving assurances from every part of the district that he will receive support that no other man yet men- tioned could command. While Capt. Fay is a man of large business affiairs, yet he is a man essentially of the people. He has been a toiler among toilers all his life. He has worked himself up from the humblest posi- tion as a laborer, until he is today one of the substantial business men. of northern Minnesota. He has a thorough knowledge of the district and its needs and his ability is un- questioned. He has been a resident of this district for the past ten years, residing at Virginia, " Marcus L. Fay was born in Ontario, Canada, on October 14, 1848, which makes him fifty-four years of age. His parents were Americans and it was while they were sojourning in Canada that the son’ was born. When he was two years old his parents again returned to the United States and settled on’ a farm in Sanilac county, Michigan, on Lake Huron. Here the boy grew to sturdy man- hood, receiving a common school education in a rural district. At an early age he secured employment in the lumber woods, beginning as a swamper. At twenty-two the greatest event of his life took place when He} was married at Manister, Michigan. ‘Two years later he began logging on- his own account, in which industry he has beer engaged ever since. From 1888 to 1892 Captain Fay was in Wisconsin as the representative Of the W. C. Yockey Lumber company as estimator and buyer of pine lands. He was appointed postmaster of Hazelburst, Wisconsin, which posi- ‘tion he held four years under the: administration of President Cleve- started out with a pack sack and has experienced all the hardships, disap- pointments and successes that 5 ‘usually falls to the lot of the average Under the Leadership of Capain Fa jjexplorer for hidden treasure. His persistent effort and the faith that was in him flinally yielded a hand- some reward. Today he has large in- dependent iron interests, the two most conspicuous properties being the Laura and Wineford mines at Hibbing. The properties are oper- ated bythe Fay Exploration com- pany, of which Mr. Fay is president. During the past year Captain Fay has become much interested in this end of the range and he has great faith in its future development as a rich producer of iron ore. He holds a lease on the Buckeye property, ten miles north of Grand Rapids, where he has had three drills at work for several months. Captain Fay has been a life-long Democrat, always an active party worker, ever loyal to its best in- terests. He is a man on whom the party of the Highth district may well unite and make his nomination unanimous on September 16th. If the party will do this success will crown the action on November 4th and the first congressman from the new Kighth district of Minnesota will be a Democrat. ‘That Phena School Matter Attorney’ A. A. Tone of Phena came down to the county seat yester- day. Mr, Tone is the gentleman whom the Herald-Review took occa- sion to criticise last week on account of an article which he published in the Itasca County Record, a paper published at Phena. Mr. ‘Tone ap- peared to be very. much dissatisfied with the manner in which the school affairs of district No, 1 have been conducted and in his published article pconveyed the idea that that the rural hools belonging to this district have Mot received just freataient “in the past. Mr, Tone assures us that it was not his intention to make such eniticism and that the Herald-Review did him an injustice in so interpretmg what he had to say. In his opinion, Mr. Tone says, the rural schools have been better provided for than if they had been granted separation by the} | county commissioners. as applied for in many cases. The people of Phena feared that they might not be granted a school this year, and hence the} | agitation that was started, The Her- -ald-Review was mistaken and did Mr, ‘Tone an injustice when it said that he had prepared and presented a petition | | to the board of county /commissioners for a school district at Phena, winch was legally drawn. The petition in question was presented by citizens of Mezpah, and Mr, Tone had nothing to do with either the drawing of it or with its presentation to the board. First State Bank.
