Frankentield and her cum- pany Monday night at Village hail. Toa vast majority of those vresent the play was a disappuintment. Tbe acting throughout was good, with the possible exception of ‘*Regiua.” 1bsen’s ‘‘Ghosts” is suppused to point a moral, but whether it. oprates with a mixed audience for govud or evil is a question. It tells the life story of a vile man who sank tu the very depths of moral liprosy and died, leaving a son who inherited the wanton weakuessess of his father, and he, tuo, died insane. The wife and .mother represented the ideal woman, high minded and pure, who suffered all the agonies of heart and mind and soul that sucha companionship can produce. There it ends. It iscold, cruel realism. To thoughful minds socialogically in- clined, Ibsen’s ‘Ghosts’? might serye to some gvod purpose, but its pros priety and usefullness in the play house might well be seriously con- sidered, The suggestion has been made that Grand Rapids cornet band be re- quested to give free weekly concerts months. a music suitable for indoor concerts and ifthe people desire it the boys are willing todo their part to make the | dreary winter days more joyful. { Primaries and Spear If Itasca cpunty furnishes a: fair sample of the workings of the prim- ary‘lection law the’ first act-of the next legislature should be to sum- mariby remove it Trom the statue hooks. In this county* party lines were utterly disregarded. Life-long Democrats called fur Republican ballots to the number of several hundred. There were no. contests among the Demucrats that attracted Much attention, and it was only those who placed principle aboved personal spite and manhood above Mammon that voted the Democratic ticket in’ Grand Rapids, Cobasset, Nashwauk and in many of the out- GANDIDATES ARE MADE The Battle of the Bal- lots at Last Tuesday’s Primaries was Pull- ed off With Very Lit- tle Excitement—On- ly Spirited Contest was Botween McCar- thy and Spear For Side precincts of the county. It was the ire on the part of certain Demo s to retain George H. Spear as county attorney that brought alout this raping of the primary ballot tox. Men who sat as delegates in the Democratic county convention a month ago called for Republican ballots and voted them. Spear’s strongest backing was from an element that evidently believes in reciprocity. He has jealously guarded Certain violators of the state laws and in turn they showed ap- preciation. of his loyalty to their ilicit trafic. The better element of both parties repudiated Spear, but no work was done in Senator Me- Carthy’s behalf until the eleventh hour, and then qa very small effort was put forth to advance his candi- dacy. Spear and his satellites had been at work during the past two years. As a sample of the Spear methods of, campaigning, he was arampant supporter of Joun Skelly for county commissioner while in Cohasset, and when on the frou range was equally radical in boosting for Archie) McWilliams, candidate for the same office in the same district. He was all things to all men and for once he bas made a temporary win- ning. But the end is notyet. The geueral election will be held on November 8th. Three Good Selections. Without regard to party the voters made three excellent selections for county commissioners last Tuesday. A. D. Brooks was renominated for district No. 1 and there is no doubt of his election on the Sth day of November. Archie McWiiliams was nominated in distsict No 3 over John Skelly by a majority of 103. He will be the next commissioner from that dis- trict. Neil Mullins, the Democratic nominee for distric 5, is generally conceeded to bei re winner. In his election the district and county will will have an able reprsentative. Huson-Warner Wedding. Last Saturday morning at 11 o’clock the Rey. Mr. Morrrison of the M. E. church, pronounced the solemn words that united in marriage Miss Susie B. Huson and Percy C. Warner. The happy event took place at the pleas- ant home of Judge and Mrs. H. S. Huson, parents of the bride. Only relatives of the contracting parties were present at the jnteresting cere- mony. The bride and yroom are amoug the most popular young peo- ple of Grand Rapids suciety, where they have lived since their childhoud days. Mr. Warner, son of Mrs, J. A. Brown, isa graduate of Grand itap- ids High school. He is an indus- trious, capable young man who has before him a bright future. His bride is the eldest, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Huson and her popularity was attested by the many valuable and beautiful presents received from a host of friends.

Most ll. political aspirants for office in Itasca county know today ‘where they are at.” Democratic and Republican nominations have been made and the candidates are now scoring for the start. Both the Re- publican and Democratic primaries were in absolute control of the Demo- crats. As proof of this assertion we need not go beyond the municipal confines of Grand Rapids. This vil- lage is neminally Democratic. Out ot a vote of 408 polled last Tuesday the count. showed only 1o5 Demo- cratic ballots. The same condition prevailed im a number of other pre- cints where the prosecuting’ attorney was in a position to dictate terms. Compiete returns are not yet in, but the results as now indicated will not be materially changed. The Demo- cratic nominzes are the following: For congress, Martin Hughes; county auditor, M. A. Spang; county treasur- er, C. C. Miller, register of deeds, A. B. Clair; sheriff, Wm Hoolihan; judge of probate, Joseph McMéhon; county surveyor, James H. Flynn; county commissioner rst district, A. D. Brooks; commissioner district No. 3, Dan McCormick; commissioner No 5, Neil Mullins. The Republicans made these nominations: For judge of the Fitteenth judicial district, M. A. Spconer; For congress, J. Adam Bede; representatives Fifty-second dis- trict, A. &. Cole and S. Swanson; county auditor E. A. Aimold; treasur- er, A, A. Kremer; register of deeds, E. J. McGowan; judge of probate, H. S. Huson; attorney, George H. Spear; surveyor, J. A. Brown; clerk of court, i. DB. Rassmussen; superintendent of schools, Hattie F. Booth; coroner, Thomas Russell; commissioner dis- trict No, 3, Archie McWilliams; com- missioner district No. 5. V. H. Blood. C. M. King For County Attorney C. M. King of the Big Fork country will have w hard time to resist the pressure that is being brought to bear un him tov becomean independent candidate for county attorney. Mr. King is in town today and those who urge his candidacy are confined to no party and to no particuiar section of. the couuty. He is promised hearty support from every direction. As we go to press Mr, King has not given a decided answer to those who have in- terviewed him on the subject, but the indications are that he will tinal- ly be prevailed upon to enter the race. ‘The ladies of the Catholic churén will give a chicken pie supper on ‘Thursday evening next, September, 29 in the bowling alley building on Fourth street, ‘Twenty-five cents will be charged. Supper will be served from 5 0’clock. When all have been served the guests will be entertained at cards, Andrew McLeod, who lived ona farm on the east side of Pokegama lake, was found dead in a room at the Minnesota house on ‘Thursday. ‘The coroner pronounced heart desease as the cause of death. Interment was made in Itasca cemetery this forenoon from Kremer’s undertaking rooms. ‘The deceased was about forty-five years of age. He had lived in this county a number of years. On Friday evening of last week the people of Grand Kapids were served with a genuine intellectual treat at Viliage hall, Walter Thomas Mills delivered a lecture on Socialism to a large audience. Many went to the hatl, no doubt, for the purpose of being able to criticise and combat his theories and ‘arguments the more ef- fectually, but it was evident that alb were interested and remained until the close. Mr, Mills stands among the ablest platform speakers in the country, He is a scholar and student of econ- omic questions. His illustrations of present condiuions and the force of his logic at once commanded respet- full consideration, Mills 1s making Socialists.
