With all of these the News Tribune would like a quiet, friendly chat. Up here in Northeastern Minnesota, in the.five or six so-called “Iron coun ties,” there are about 250,000 of the state’s population. The iron mines are here. Agriculture is also here, but mot in volume to feed the greater gumber of non-producers. This makes this section a great buying community, importing nearer $10,000,000 than $5,000,000 of the pro- ducts of the fatm each | year,.and so furnishing a high-priced © market for produce shipped. in: by rail. oe is market for the,entio stato janine sa is retained to serve them |: These counties have about 40,000 , level-headed citizen and he|yoters. The majority is normally Re- ing well with the] publican, but events have been such in the past few years as to make it more thoroughly independent than any other vote in the state. Politics here has ceased in a large measure, to be partisan, and has become ver} broad along the lines of self-preserva- tion. This change has been forced by the attitude of those of the rest of the state who shape political issues, who give that more than average attention to politics, in pro- moting a hostile feeling where reasol. ably, there should be only mutual friendliness: * * * * The iron interests of the state are largely controlled by the Oliver Iron Mining company, a subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation. The officers of this company reside in Duluth. But all the officers of the United States Steel corporation live in New York. The people who live in this section have a very friendly and kindly feeling for the officials of the Oliver Iron Mining company. The cause of this is plain to them. These (men are notably public spirit- ed, broad-minded and progressive. In business they are forceful ana have been able to shape a policy on the part of the company and corpora- tion that is most admirable. Wher- ever the intersts of either come in touch with the interests of the peo- ple through the county, city, school or other similar public organization, they are more than liberal. Whether the issue is great or small; whether it.involves finance or persona] attention, labor and interest, these men, representing the “Iron inter- ests,” never hedge, straddle or shirk. They accept whatever tax is imposed, subscribe generosity of their personal funds, do their share and more ci the work, and invariably, in every way, promote what is good, and re- lentlessly oppose what is evil. In other parts of the state it is pro- verbial that the railroad interests,” for example, systematically have the other policy. They would not fill a mud hole at a station, build a side- walk, put in lights, pay for telephone service, pay a fair price for a water supply, or do anything else the local- ity reasonably asked, on a bet. Other great interests act similarly, but not so these iron interests. {s it any, wonder they are locally popular, or that the localities fail to realize that there can be any other kind? And just ‘here we may say that so long as this conditions lasts, in this iron region, just so long this friend- ly spirit will last ,and Northeastern Mimnesota will not apologize for it, nor hedge in it, nor play the part of the ingrate and yellow dog for all the political hue amd cry that mis- vaken political leaders and the nar- row-minded, selfish special interests can raise, behind which to hide their own pilfering policies and plans * * * * To return to politics and bind to- gether the two ends of this little heart-to-heart talk: If any politician, big or little, wishes for any reason —and many of these reasons are en- tirely proper and honest—to reach the political end of any railroad do- fing business Minnesota, of the liquor interests, of the traction in- terests, of the grain interests, of the milling or lumber interests or of any other like consolidation of busi- ness interests, he knows exactly where to go. Every one of these has some one individual who has authority to speak for them as to political issues, poll- cies and{ candidates. This is not true as to “iron inter- ests.” There is not one man, nor any men, in all this state to. whom. ‘any one can go to find what these con- sider. wise. or: best,: what, they: prefer or want, for hélp or consultation*in politics. ‘Thére ts" not one ‘ottielal™ “et Ornnscnsrenosorcs200s000000008 Besvrine In Oxfords Black, Paten, Tan and Brown’ worth ‘up to $2.50, your choice for $1.98 HE Children’s Oxfords A big assortment and_ scarcely two pair alike worth up to $1.75 and $2. 98 cents 00, your choice for $1.25 white canvas Oxfords and slippers for 59 cents very close prices. 6c, 8c, 10c, 15¢c, 18c, India Linens Just the goods you need now. received a new assorted case that we are selling at We have just 20c, 25c, 35¢ per yard New mings at - a Laces Beautiful new laces in dozen yard lots at 48, 55 and 65 cen Laces and Insertions to match ts per dozen yards New Allover Embroideries, Laces and Trim- 48c to $1.50 per yd. “THE POPULAR STORE” NRY HUGHES & Cf) Cad About Two Dozen New this season, some are samples, others have been tried on, Worth up to Another lot in Tan and Brown worth $3.50 and $4.00 for $1.98 Waist Bargains e Pumps and Oxfords $2.50, your choice 98 cents New Japanese Silk waists, colors natural and black, at - - $2.50 and $3.00 Fancy Collars and Jabots All new for the 4th at - 19, 25, 35, 59c All the lates styles in ladies’ silk, linen and percale waistings, also ladies’ and children’s dresses of all sizes.

Yet it is persistently said that the 250,000 people, the 40,000 voters, of this section are moved in politics by these men like pawns on a chess board. To promote this sentiment the poli- ticians of the Republican party have given their persistent effort. All over this state they have put in over time dimpressing the rank and file of the voters with the fixed idea that all Northeastren \Minnesota is owned pody, sdul and breeches by the “steel trust.” In all that part including the Twin Cities and south, practically every Republican newspaper is committed to this view—the people up here are simply slaves, listening for the dic- tation, even the nod and beck of this octopus, that they may be quick ta act and so curry its favor. Recently these papers have said that this body of political slaves dominated the Republican state con- yeution, and forced it to do their master’s will. If this is so, and they believe it, in all honesty and decency they, should repudiate the party. If they do not believe it, what do they, in their calmer moments, think of themselves for saying it? But what as politicians, as Repub- leans, do they think of such food with which to feed the voting popu- face? Can they do !t and continue it and then hope for success at the polls? The people are honest, if they ara not. The voter must know that this is not true; he must know that these great iron interests are not unlike the others in this state, and that the people of this section are grossly li- deled, or they would vote that sort of a party where it would belong. * * * * In this section, loyal as the peo- wild are to the iron interests, that they may have fair play and a square deal, they ask nothing more. They have had “steel trust” flaunted in their faces, have been called its “political hirelings,” its “political serfs,” until this has become an in- sult. It has reached the point where eve! a judge so remote in residence that he knows of the irom Interests only by hearsay, cannot accept the votes Primary Election Laws. have six weeks yet in which to file. The general election will be held this year on November 8th. The primary election must be held on Tuesday, seven weeks preceding the general election, which is September 20th. Candidates must file with the secre- tary of state or county auditor as the case may be, at least 20 days before the primary election which would make Tuesday, August 30, the last day for filing. When the candidate is to be voted for in more than one county the fil- ing must be made with the secretary of state at the state capital in St. Paul, and with the county auditor if to be voted for in a single county cply. If the office be one for which pe- cuniary compensation is provided the filing fee is fixed at $20, ex- cept in case of candidates for the legislature who shall pay $10 only, either to the secretary of state or county auditor. Candidates for coun- ty commissioner, whose compensation is less than $300 annually are requir- ed to pay a fee of $5. If no compen- sation is provided by law for the the office no filing fee is required. A candidate for the legislature or for a county office may be nominat- ed by petition, but the petition must be signed by at least 10 per cent of tha voters resident within the dis- trict or political division from which the candidate is presented. No per- son who has voted at a primary shall be eligible as a petitioner for any nomination to an office for which nominees were voted upon at such primary. Such petition cannot primary election. A defeated candidate at the prim- ary election is ineligible for nomina- tion to the same office by petition. Any candidate who has been duly nominated and paid a filing fee shall be entitled to have his name placed ‘upon the ballot at the general elec- tion without paying an additional fee. A Steamer Excursion, It is being arranged by the people of the Catholi¢ church to give a grand picnic and steamboat excursion on some date near the latter part of July, a rare treat such as the people have not had since in the early nine- ties, when they were quite common. The big steamer “North Star” those days and the “Little Eagle” too, gave the people alomg the river many an outing. There are no such large boats on this part of the river now, but the committee for the coming event are securing the largest crafts of Northeastern Minnesota without Ibeing litbeled by the press. It has reached the point of em- phatic resentment, and at this point % would be well if those men in each fowige ye who, make politics and afloat here, and with these and barge and smaller boats they will be able to accomodate several hundred pas- sengers.
