Democratic primaries will be held throughout Itasca county this eve- ning between the hours of eight and nine o’clock for the selection of dele- gates to the county convention to be held in Grand Rapids next Saturday, May 9, Atthat time delegates will be chosen to represent the county at the state convention in St. Paul on Thursday May 14. The state conven- tion will elect delegates to the national convention at Denver, July 7th, when William Jennings Bryan will be un- apimously nominated as the party’s candidate for president of the United States. The Herald-Review presents the name of Hon. Cyrus M. delegate from this district to the national convention. He is a life-long Dem- ocrat of wide acquaintance through- out the state and an unyielding party worker. Itasca county should exercise its strongest influence to nominate him as one of the national of Deer River, as a delegates. pastes SP: It’s up to Hamilton. The legislative situation of this district seems to be the one thing that is taking form and becoming in- teresting in this locality just now- otherwise political matters are not bubling very much here. Cass county has several available men and it seems couceded that Cass is entitiled to a representative this year. Of those mentioned P. H. McGarry of Walker seems likely to receive the unanimous endorsementof the county. In Aitkin county the decision of whether we are to have a candidate or not seems to be up to A. L. Hamil- ton. The Hibbing Mesaba Ore ex- presses the situation as to him ina pretty fair language as follows: “It begins to look as though Editor Hamilton, of the Aitkin Republican, cannot get away from a legislative nomination. It is one of the very few cases on record of the office seek- ing the man, and The Ore is of the opinion that it serves him right.” The office has been chasing him about with considerable determi- nation for some weeks“and if he will put aside his false modesty and say he wants it he can have the Aitkin county endorsement. However if he insists he is not a candijate it is quite. probable that Aitkin will have no candidate. Mr. Knox has not ask- ed for a renomination and the people have no inclination to hand it to him —that is, the nomination. There are no other names mentioned in connec- tion with the office here and probably there will be none. Over in Carlton where there have been several candidates the fellows are getting together and it is claimed that the name of T. M. Ferguson will be the only one presented. So that if Hamilton fails to take advantage of the opportunity now krtocking at his duor it will bean easy thing for McGarry and Ferguson. If Hamilton sticks it will be the best two of the trio who will go to St. Pau! to help reapportion the district and one of the bunch will have to stay at home.—Aitkin Age. — Johnson and Presidency. From the New Ulm News: It may seem queer to some readers that the News, published in a county adjoining the couaty where Governor Johnson bad a home for many years, should oppose his candidacy for the ii King ; DEFECTIVE , president a& against the foremost and most popular leader of recent years; and it may therefore be well to give _}a few candid reasons, for whatever the editor has to say be always says in language easily understood. For the office of governor the News unreservedly indorsed Johnson in 1904 and in 1906, and it is not egotistical to say that this paper advanced as many good reasons for his election as _ other state paper did. The writer then believed and yet believes that a poor boy who had striven to rise as he did under a great weight to over- come, and who succeeded in making an honorable name, deserved much encouragement at the hands of the people of ail parties. But atthe same time the writer saw many flaws in Jobnson’s political record, amcng them his cowardice (call it reluct- ance if you please), to advocate Dem- ocratic platforms; his sliding through the hot campaign of 1906, when Bryan | was a candidate for president and the issue was prominent of a double metallic standard of value against a single gold standard, without defining a position on either; and his vote in the legislature when he was senator to override the veto of Governor Lind for the payment of the sugar beet bounty, which was clearly a violation of sound governmenta policy, wheth- er advocated by Democrat or Repub- lican, and which was afterward proven to be so. His vote on that veto clearly indicated that he was either weak'on a fundamental Demo- cratic principle or was catering for future popularity with the Republi- cans who favored the bounty. All these acts indicated to our mind that he was both cowardly and shifty, al- ways seeking the line of the least \ resistance. Then, as governor, when he adhered to the services of T. D. O’Brien, he was passively successful, put when his tricky kitchen cabinet got full control of him he became weak and yacillating; and after, when he began to receive outside complimentary no- tice for his marvellous vote in the 1906 election, and the Republician newspapers flattered him as a presi- dential candidate against Bryan to get rid of him as a third term candi- date for governor, and he or his Priyate Secretary Day, or both of them, began to prevaricate and con. tinued it until very recently, the editor of the News eould not longer restrain his disgust at the liliputian efforts to down a giant. The manly boy was then lost in the demagogic man. Finally, and we may almost say sorrowfully, we beheld the twice highly honored governor, after re- peatedly denying then proclaiming hiraself a candidate for president, and very soon thereafter acting in a boastful, threatening, defiant man- ner. The transformation from a pretended friend of Bryan, whom he declared he would not eppose except in a very friendly way, to open hos- tility in a most offensive braggadocio, has lowered Johnson to the standard of the commonest ward politician, and will kill him politically in his home state where, from an idol. he will fall to the plane where there will be few so poor as to do him rever- ence; and his political star will fall never to rise. As to coming within gun range of a nomination for president against William J. Bryan, whom Republican newspapers and the Eastern money power would like see defeated, there is not the barest possibility, and Johuson will be one of the greatest disappointments of intiated confi- dence that recent political life has known. Federation is Boosting Minnesota. It is estimated that $20,000,000 an- nually is spent in the Adirondacks by visitors in search of sport or pleasure. Yet, with its 10,000 takes, its rivérs and creeks, its woodland and prairie, and its forests, Minnesota has many advantages which the Adirondacks do not offer or canvot surpass. In order to make its resorts better knowa the Minnesota Federation of Com- mercial Clubs has entered upon a campaigs which it is expected, will result in the number of visitors to Minnesota resorts being greatly in- creased. An interesting descriptive story has been prepared describing the characteristics of the state, and will appear in May magazines having a combined circulation of over 1,000, 000 copies. This will be followed by other work on similar lines, and it is confidently expected that it will con- tribut largely to increase the prosperi- ty of the towns and people who derive an income directly or indirectly from contributing to the amusement or comfort of visitors during the va- cation season. The Minstrel Maids. When the Minstrel Maids appear at the City Hall opera house, two nights and matinee commencing Friday, May 8th, theatrezoers will have a chance to see the cleverest girl artists on the American stage. The com- pany is under The Famous Juvenile Bostonian management which alone is guarantee that it is something out of the ordinary.

The performance opens up with a grand minstrel first part, introducing Miss Jacque Casad, the famous baton twirler, followed by a musical comedy. A show for ladies, gentle- men and children, strictly mora), clean and up to the minute. Seats on sale at Itasca Mercantile Co.’s store. CHARLES H. MARR CLOSES TWO LEASES Tioga Iron Company Have Leased Twa Forfies in Section 22, 55-26, It has long been known that there is iron,‘and plenty of it, in section 2, town 55, range 26. The Tioga Iron company has prospected the north- east quarter of the northeast quarter and lot one, and on the first of May closed a lease of these tracts with C. H. Marr. For the first five years the minimum royalty will be $5,000 per year, and thereafter the minimum willbe $10,000 annually. Mr. Marr owns other tracts in this vicinity that have been drilled and which show up well. The leased land was part of the Ed Cavanaugh homestead, about three miles southwest of Grand Ra- pids. G. G. Hartley, C. A. Congdon, E. J. Longyear and Leon E. Lum of Duluth are the gentlemen who com- pose the Tioga Iron company. /'THE SHERIFF GOES AFTER MURDEDER Man Who Kifled Sam Delick at Holman Believed te Have Been Located. Sberiff Hoolihan has been busy in tracing every clue that might lead te the capture of Proko Ognjeaovich, the murderer of Sam Delick at the village of Holman on the 2ist of March last. After the killing, which appeared to be unprovoked, the mur- derer suddenly disappeared. The sheriff’s office was not notified of the crime for twe days after and no trace of the guilty man could be feund. Finally a letter, torn in fragments, was picked up and upon being put to- gether it was found to be from Loraine, Ohio, and was believed to have been written by the man want- ed. Sheriff Hoolihan corresponded with the authoritiesfof Loraine and as a result a suspect is now held in the Ohio town who answers the description of Ognjenovieh in every particular. He was once arrested at Bovey for running a blind pig and the sheriff knows him quite well. Sheriff Hoolihan left yesterday morning for the Ohio town. Brought Home a Bride. When Assistant Cashier Knapp of the First State bank left Graud Rapids last week he forgot to men- tion to the society editur hereof that he was to be married, and hence we are a few days late in making the following announcement, which is from the Big Lake Herald of May Ist: “Miss Jennie M. Haven and Vernon W. Knapp -were married Wednesday evening at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Hay- en. Rev. A. G. Washington read the marriage service before a group of the immediate relatives only. Roses and carnations banked the parlor, forming a background for the bridal party. The bride wore a princess gown of white lace. Her flowers were white roses. A wedding supper fel- lowed the service. Mr. and Mrs. Knapp left for their new home in Grand Rapids, Minn., this afteravon where Mr. Knapp is with the First State bank. The bride wore a travel- ing suit of Copenhagen blue with hat to match. The couple have resided here since childhood and their many friends extend them their best wishes.” Mr. and Mrs. Knapp ar- rived in Grand Rapids Sunday night last and are stopping at the Hotel Pokegama. They will go to house- keeping in a short time. The Herald- Review joins many friends in extend- ing congratulations to the young couple. ATTEMPTING TO BEAT INNKEEPER Charge Preterred Against G. H. Mcintosh and He Now Awaits Hearing A warrant was sworn out against “Doc” McIntosh by Assistant County Attorney Rossman, charging at- tempt to defraud ansinn, viz: the Hotel Pokegama. As McIntosh boarded the west bound train Satur- day night last Marshal Harry arrest- ed him. After a vain attempt tu get bonds he was locked up at the county jail. He asked fora continuance of the case for ten days and will have a hearing next Monday, In the mean- time he remains in the custody of the ene t laid pe the proper grade therefor as fur- sheriff. Forsome time past McIotosh had conducted moving picture shows at Grand Rapids, Deer River, Cole- raine and Bovey. While he appeared to be doing a good business his obli- gations steadily increased and those who had dealings with him soon found that be was slow pay. Last week he transferred his interests. in Grand Rapids to W. E. Myers, the liveryman, in payment of adebt. He owed a bill of adout sixty dollars at the Pokegama for board and it was upon this account the arrest was made. Town Board Meeting Adjourned. The meeting of the township board called for 2:30 O’clock last Saturday afternoon for the purpose of viewing the proposed highway east of town on the south side of the Mississippi river did not materialize, owing to the absence of Supervisor Hachey and Chairman McDonald. The former was called tc Duluth on business and Mr. McDonald did not arrive in Grand Rapids until Saturday evening. The supervisorswere to viewthe road in the afternvon and meet in the evening tu take’action on the petition presented for their consideration, but Supervisor McEwen being the only member pre- sent'no action was taken. Chairman McDonald was present in the evening but neither of the other members re- ported. No date has been tixed for the next meeting, but will be held in re- sponse to the call of the chairman. Notice will be given in the Herald- Review. SIDEWALK RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Vil- Jage of Grand Rapids.
