TOWNSHIP TICKET. For Supervisor— EDWARD HASCHEY. For Clerk— JOSEPH McMAHON. For Treasurer— JAMES PASSARD. In response to a call for a Citizens’ caucus to be held on last Wednesday evening for the purpose of nominat- ing candidates for the various vil- lage offices for the ensuing year, a goodly crowd of representative citi- zens met at the court room in the court house and selected one of the best tickets ever placed before the voters of this village. . The meetiaz-was-calied to-order by E. C. Kiley as temporary chairman, E. A. Kremer secretary, H. C. Tuller and Will Nisbett acting as tellers, In the nomination for the various offices the utmost’ harmony prevailed | and in only one instance was it neces- sary to resort to a ballot to arrive at the wishes of the voters. To head the ticket, H. D. Powers was nominated for village president. Following this, D. M. Gunn, A. C. Bossard and William Dibbert were nominated for trustees. When it leame to the office of treasurer, F. A. King, the present incumbent, and Thomas Trainor were nominated. Upon a baliot being taken F, A. King proved to be far in the lead and was declared the nominee of the caucus. H. E. Graffam was unani- mously nominated as recorder, and Chas. Wollenberg and H. S. Huson for justices, with Jesse Harry as con- stable. This closed the nominations. ~The temporary chairman was then made permanent, and upon a carried mo- tion be named John Beckfelt and E. A. Kremer as the other two members of the village committee. This ended the village caucus and the one for the tuwnship was then called to order with the same officers as the previous caucus. Ed Haschey was nominated for supervisor, Joseph McMahon for clerk, Jamess4Passard tor treasurer, L. W. Huntley. assessor. When it came to justice of the peace R. H. Bailey and C. A. Buell were nominated. The chairman ordered a bailot, which resulted in Mr. Bailey receiving the nomination. Fullow- ing this, Frank McCormick received the nomination for constable. Upon motion, the chair appointed as township committee Messrs. Haschey, Farrell and Buell. The caucus then adjourned. It is with pleasure that the Herald- Review endorses to the fullest extent the entire foregoing ticket, for ia our opinion it is the strongest and best ticket ever placed before our citizens. Those nominated are all men thor- oughly conversant with the wants ¥or Assessor— L. W. HUNTLEY. For Justice of the Peace— R. H. BAILEY. For Constable— J. F. McCORMICK, we can assure our readers that under their management, if elected, there will be no wanton waste of the vil- lage money, and that its affairs will be conducted in a thoroughly business like manper. Announcement has been madecf another caucus to be held this evening by a very small “committee of leading citizens” who are not pleased with what the ma- jority has done, and they will no doubt attempt to borrow some of the timber from the ticket named and try to build up a fake ticket that | will boost some sorehead into office. It will bea failure. for the people at large are well suited with the nomi- nations made and will see that each and every candidate named upon it will be elected. IS OPPOSED TO REPEAL OF LAW William E. Culkin, the retiring register of the Duluth land office, is much interested in the attempts now being made to have congress repeal! the timber and stone law. Mr. Cul- kin is against the proposed repeal and believes action should be taken at once by the people of this part of the country to check any such attempt. Mr. Culkin has been for eight anda half years in a position to observe the operation of this law closely, and as he is generally admitted to be an au- thority oo land matters the following statement made by him will duubt- less bear weight: “Steps should be taken by the peo- ple of Northern Minnesota to impress on the minds of their representatives in both houses of congress the fact that the repeal of the timber and stone law is not desired by the people of this section. Is is one of the most meritorious land laws on the statute books, and its repeal, if it occurs, will be a blow to the development of the northern portion of the state. “It is essentially a poor man’s law and gives the northern pioneer a chance to get on in the world, being one small recompense to him for his werk in developing a new country. Anyoue who investigates the matter will flod that the law is being taken advantage of. not by the dishonest butin fact by the best class of our people, Farmers, mechanics, busi- nessmen, editors, bankers, clergymen and people of other wortby callings invest their savings in land under this law and at once begin to pay taxes on the land they buy. “It is true that there has been fraud under this law, but that is true of every other law that I ever heard of. The fact remairs, however, that as the timber and stone Jaw is now administered, fraud has been almost entirely eliminated. Such fraud as may, be found is merely sporadic, not general. Fraud arises not from bad and needs of the town. With the the varied interests they represent, laws, but from lax or corrupt adminis- tration. a plausible reason why this beneficent statute should be repealed. One idea advanced is that the lands should be reserved for homesteaders. But some of our land is of such a character that it is not taken as homesteads. Our best lands are now homesteaded. “Why segregate 1,000,000 or more acres of gyvernment land, to be added to the gloomy, unproductive wastes now held by the state? Why not get these lands on the tax rolls to aid in upbuilding the northern counties? “It is true that speculators in scrip would benefit by the repeal. Cer- tainly these speculators who usually get something for nothing from the government are not its favorites. At the’same time they are the only ones who would reap a profit from its re- peal. 1t would be a wrong to the people and to the towns, villages, school districts and counties of the northern country, the very interests which the proposed repeal is mis- takenly supposed to serve.” TO CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK’S DAY On next Saturday, March 17, occurs the anniversary of the birth of the patron saint $f Ireland. The Irish people the world over delight to do honor to the memory of that day, and those of Grand Rapids and vicinity are not an exception to the rule. The event will be commemorated quietly, principally by a gathering of the Irish people, their friends and sympathizers at Village hallin the evening. The annual address will be detivered by. Rey. Father O’Mahoney, and the fol- lowing entertaining musical program. will also be given: BOBO. . oes iene ce nv cescvveges cocese Qrehestra.

Two weeks ago a caucus date was set, but at the appointed time nota man appeared on the scene. Another call was made and public spirited, citizens, realizing that Bovey would be without municipal officers if the caucus were not held, got together and nominated a ticket headed by Henry Volke. The second caucus was well at- tended and the voting for some of the candidates was close and spirited. Since the caucus, however, interest in the election has fallen back to its former state of coma, and but little gossip is heard on the streets. . No ticket in opposition to the one nominated has been proposed and it is expected the one list’ of nominees will have a clear field. Following are the names of those who comprise the ticket now running: For president, Henry Volke; coun- cilmen, Charles Peterson, Ralph Whitmas and Edward Chamberlain; recorder, D. M. Vermilyea; treasurer, Erik Johnson; justices of the peace, Nels Lexon aud John Griffin; cop- stables, August Valley and Peter Westerlund. MUST KEEP DOPED CANDY That no extension of time will be given the candy dealers to dispose of any old stock on hand is the fiat of the state board of food and dairy in- spectors, and all.goods displayed for sale contrary to the limitations of the act passed four months ago will be confiscated. The new law went into effect on March 1. “There has been a rumor among the dealers that an extension of time would be granted,” said Harris Ben- nett, inspector of the Duluth district, “but I have just been speaking to the office in St. Paul over the telephone and have been informed that nota day’s extension will be given. The dealers have already had four months in which to get rid of their old goods and it does not appear that there can be any reasonable excuse why they should not have done so. “There have been several cases of candy poisoning among women and little children in this state and the matter is too serious to be neg!ected. 1 We havea good law on the statute books now and will see that it is en- ‘No one, as yet, has advanced even forced to the letter, | | | |
