Vow. XIV.—No, 19 - i MAN WHO RICHLY WM. HOOLIHAN, CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF. DESERVES RE-ELECTION | As a last word before the close of | and endorsement to faithful public affairs. When itis conceded with- out a single voice in opposition that the present sheriff has performed all his official duties well and faith- fully; that he has left no obligation to the people unfulfilled; that he is! recognized as one of the ablest offi- cers in the state of Minnesota, he surely should be conceded that en- dorsement at the polls that he has so richly earned. He should be of his splendid record. If the peo- ple of this county wish to establish the precedent of repudiating those who serve them well; if no ap- proving vote of confidence is to be given in return for an able man’s best efforts; ifthe policy of distri- buting public office as a private snap is to be followed, then Mr. Hoolihan’s friends can lay no claim to his re-election. They have been wrong in believing that a good re- cord in public office is something to be proud of. As the campaign draws to a close, however. the signs of the times point |to the re-election of Mr. Hoolihan | by a splendid majority. His friends allover this big county have been active in his interests and he has received assurances from ‘nearly every precinct that warrants the prediction that he will be endorsed by an overwheleming majority. A vote for Sheriff Hoolihan is a vote for good local government and will be an endorsement of a most deserving and worthy public officer. His defeat would be a serious mis- take. But there is little danger of the mistake being made. ' | W. B. Holman and wife arrived | home Sunday noon, after an absence of several weeks.

At the eleventh hour of the cam- ‘paign the representatives of the tax- dodging pine land owners are fiood- ing Itasca county with false state- g ments on the county division proposi- tion. i Have you received a copy of the Anti-County Division Advocate? It was issued this week following the last issue of the Herald-Review, at a time when the interested parties felt there would be little time left in which to meet and refute their false figures and statements. Who is responsible for the issuance of the Anti-Division-Advocate? Is the Grand Rapids Commercial club back of it? No. ‘lhe Grand Rapids Commercial club has unequivocally endorsed the division movement, That body not only pronounced in favor of dividing the county, but it was a committee appointed by the E HON, A.

That division was desirable as a business proposition every member of the club agreed. The subject was by no means a new one to the men who dis- cussed it at that time. It had been | agitated for years, and that division would come sooner or later was re- been presented to the people and those who carefully consider pulic questions already have decided npon their choice for governor. The Herald-Review has been a resident of Itasca county for more than fourteen years. It has watch- ed the slow and tedious progress that the northern part of the state has made.in those years, ..as com- so long suffered. He was elected.

While it is conceded that division is desirable at the present time by every thinking taxpayer who has given the subject serious and honest consideration, the crying necessity for it in the immedi- ate future is still more apparent to everyone residing in this section of the county. It is evident enough that no respon* sible man or body of men in Grand Rapids issued the anti-division false- hoods that are being anonymously circulated hereabouts. It is equally well known that no commercial body representing Bovey, Coleraine or Nashwauk took any hand in the surreptitious act. No farmer or body of farmers had any- thing to do with it. Not even the people of Deer River or Northome or Big Falls or any other town author- ized it, Who is it, then, that is so greatly interested in the anti-division move- ment as to put to work secret hirelings to misrepresent the facts? The Hernld-Reyiew knows and will tell you, Itis no less an important personage than Thomas H. Shevlin, the Minneapolis millionaire lumber- man. And why he? It is plain enough. First, he owns large tracts of pine stumpage in the proposed county of Koochiching on which he bas been escaping just taxation for many years. Through division of the county the new organization would be more in touch with taxable pro- perty and be better able to exact justice from heavy property holders than at present. Some. “wise guy” will ask why Shevlin and other tax- dodgers cannot be as properly asses- sed under present conditions as under the proposed change? The answer is not hard to find. There has neyer yet been a throvgh estimate made of standing pine in this county because of the time limit allowed the assess- ors and an insufficient. number of competent men employed to do the work. This is not intended as a re- flection on the assessors or their as- sistants. They have done the best \ * { Continued on Page Fiye.] for that to which their section of the state was entitled. It knows that this is the richest half of the state. It knows that northern Minnesota pays most of the state taxes. It knows that northern Minnesota has received little or nothing in return. It knows that the first substantial recognition ever accorded to this section was that forced from the legislature by the intomitable per- siatency and forceful personality of Hon. A. L. Cole, Republican candi- date for goveruor, during the years that he was a member of the law- making body. The Herald-Review watched his legislative career and became convinced that he was a true representative of the people and a man possessed of the genius that attempts and accomplishes great things. Prior tohis first elec- tion and during the campaign he told his constitutents that he had made a study of the conditions of this section of Minnesota; that he understood, in some messure, the needs of this district; that he real- ized the injustice to which all north- fore the state legislature and forced recognition of their merits. Some of these measures he forced to a place on the statute books of Minne- sota, and created an issue in poli- tics of state development. A_ per- sonal knowledge of what A. L. Cole has done and a personal acquaint- | ance with the man forces the Her- ald-Review to believe that as gover- nor he will accomplish for this sec- tion all that he promises to under- take. The Herald-Review believes in A. L. Cole as it believes in north- ern Minnesota and for that reason it has given him whatever support it has had to offer. It believes that his election means more for this section than the average citizen can realize today. To the people of northern Minnesota the election of Cole is a business proposition. It means dollars and cents; it means | bread and butter. If the people of this great section of the state are loyal to their homes, loyal to pos- terity, loyal to every self interest, they will vote as a unit for the elec- tion of A. L. Cole next Tuesday. FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER Next Tuesday the people will be called upon to elect a county com- missioner from the Fourth district. GEORGE L. DEWEY. There are two candidates—George L. Dewey and Jim Passard. The latter has served in that capacity the past four years, andin that time he has proved his incompetency as completely as itis possible for a man todo. If Jim Passard has any quali- fications for the office other than to draw his salary and perquisits the fact has not become known to the public. The public business of this county is large and in its manage- ment requires the services of men with some measure of business knowledge. At least they should be capable of learning. Mr. Passard has been tried four years and he has demonstrated clearly his inabil- ity to even improve. It is high time tomake achange. Four years more of Passard would be too much of a bad thing. George L. Dewey is a young man who has resided in Itasca county for many years and is thoroughly acquainted with every section of it. He is sessed of good business qualifications and would at once become a valuable member of the board. He should be elected.
