He is a civil engineer by profession and di- rected much of the early surveying that blazed the trails of the north country. He has experienced all the hardships and sevree triai known to the first settlers. All of which combine to strengthen his knowledge to an _ extent that equips him well for the work laid out jto be done by the next session of the legislature. He is just such a man as this district can make good use of at St. Paul next winter, wher strong men will be needed to secure beneficial legislation for a section of the state that has long been prac- tically disfranchised. He favors, first of all, reapportionment, and may be depended upon to fight effectivelly for justice to this section. He wants more liberal state drainage; for better roads and more of them; for better schools and more of them; for equitable taxation of all property, including the taxa- tion of state lands on an exact equal- ity with lands owned by the settler. As acandidate for the legislature L.A. Ogaard of Koochiching county looks good to the Herald-Review, ee a es POLITICS AND CONSERVATION The conservation movement, which is of the utmost value should be care- fully guarded aginst the deadening intluence of party or sectional! strife. Unfortunately, party interests and prejudices have already gatpered about conservation, and itis, there- fore, of the greatest importance that all concerned sbould seek to mini- mize tbese influences and keep the coming congress to its trne function, the candid discussion of matters that concern the general welfare. Whether this is or is not done (and it. will measure the value of the gatheriug), depends upon the spirit that prevails at the meetings. Not the speakers alone, nor the managers, but the whole assembly, should labor earnestly toward this end. If we are large-minded enough to forget for the time being whether we are insurgents or regulars, Demo- crats or Republicans, Easterners or legislation for : s Westerners; and simply open our e state Immigration bureau. gh ; : A minds without prejudice to more 1e galne experience an J ‘ z ne ead . | light and more definite information; that would serve him]... ; ft tt tate discuss calmly and weigh carefully me or ) he s ern: ; the arguments; aim not to vindicate At the Republican ntion held in June Mr. vas unanimously endorsed he House, but he steadfastly ined to become a candidate until k, when his friends through- ie district finally prevailed up- to file.

Ogaard sf Koochiching county in the legis- ative race adds new zeal to the Wifty-second district contest. s ago the Herald-Review stated wee an editorial item that there was a sentiment in the north country fav- able to the candidacy of any good en who would consent to file for nomination. After casting about was decided that L. A. Ogaard, e present suveyor of Kooch- ning county, was the most avail- He was pre- the able man for the place. yailed upon to file and today he is one of the liveliest candidates in the bunch. Mr. Ogaard is not herald- ing his candidacy from the house tops,, neither is he proclaming his principles and popularity as greater than, those of others, but he is making a remarkably successful can- yass wherever he has been in the district and the Herald ~ ~ rather expects to see him numbered among the successful candidates at the primaries. Ogaard takes well among all classes of people, in his quiet unassuming way. He may be may be said to be a north Minnesota man through and through.. He yecame a resident of International Falls when Koochiching was a part @f Itasca county, many years ago. or to condemn anybody; seek not to fight for state control or national, but to abtain knuwledge upon, and \inspiration to work intelligently for, great public interests; seek to tind out, as we would in questions per- taining to an important business con- cern in which we were interested, just what is best to do;—if this is our attitude, and we can bring this cordial friendly spirit into the meet- ings that it will control them, it will neutralize all antagonism overcome all narrow sectional bias, and through its contagious charity maintain free, friendly, thorough and helpful dis- cussion of the great questions of conservation and, what is most vital of all, secure good will and good fel- lowship in the solving of a group of great national problems,—Minne- Two|apolis Journal. a ioe See ee SS CLEANING UP. Insurgency is not a party matter. It seems to be a Republican move- ment only because the Republican organization, after years of power, has become so corrupt that it offers more occasion for revoltthan the Democratic party, which has been largely cleaned by the plain living and high thinking that go with ab- sence from power and control. Insurgency is not sectional. It seems to be a Western movement because the Western states have been largely in the control of the Republican party,and because these states have given the voters com- mand of the situation through the system of direct nomination provid- ed in the primary election. Insurgency is the effect of an im- pulse for progress that possesses the American people, and that knows no boundary line of party or section. The truth of this is made clear by aconspicuous result of Tuesday’s primary elections in Georgia. Leoniday F. Livingston and Wil- Be was a pioneer among the pio-|liam M. Howard, Democrats, are the senior members in point of ser- vice of the Georgia delegates in the national house of representatives. Livingston has served for twenty years and Howard for twelve. Neither will serve the state of Georgia in congress after March 4, 1911, because both were defeated for renomination in the primaries Tues- day. Both were beaten for the same reason: because they were mem- bers of the slender band of stand- patters in the Democratic party. In both of these congressional dis- tricts the leading issue was the fact that these men voted forthe Can- non rule at the organization of the Though Democrats, they voted with the reactionary Repub- house. licans and in defense of the egreg- ious system that made it possible for one stiffnecked, thickskinned and unrighteous old man to con- trol the people’s branch of congress in the interests of those that prey upon the people. They reckoned, however, without their districts. Insurgency is as rampant there asit isin Kansas. The Democrats of Georgia had as little faith in those who made Can- non’s power possible as the pro- gressive Republicans of Iowa. Insurgency is showing its head | wherever it is needed. It is not} needed, for instance, in a district | like the Second of Minnesota, which | by Winfield Scott | Hammond, a man who is not only is represented atrue Democrat but a true progres- It is needed in districts like the Eighth of Minnesota, which is represented by a young man who has attempted the impossible feat of pleasing both progressives and reactionaries. sive. It is a Kansas Republicans cleaned up by defeating the Kansas congressmen who had voted for and with Cannon. Georgia Democrats cleaned up by defeating the Demo- crats who were false to their colors and who helped maintain the power Insurgency is progress. cleaning up. that has made Cannon an object of hatred, the speakership a thing of undemocratic oppression, and con- gress a mockery of free govern ment.—Duluth Herald. Bob and Eva McGinley’s Show. Bob and Eva McGinley, well known to many Grand Rapids residents, are making their annual tour of north- ern Minnesota and played here Fri- day and Saturday evenings to pack- ed houses. Bob and Eva McGinley’s Musical Comedy company is just what it claims to be, one of the best and cleanest shown on the road. Little Alvina, in her Norwegian songs and dances, certainly delight- ed the spectators while Bob and Eva in their quick change work kept the audience in convulsions of laughter. Prof. J. A. Barton, piapist, a well- known writer and composer of songs, who has charge of the musical part of the entertainment, was taken ill while here and was unable to proceed with the company. He is under the care of! Dr. Storch and will soon be strong enough to rejoin the company The entertainment is unique in that the company gives two hours of good clean solid fun without the use of a drop curtain and the audience is not kept waiting for the show to proceed. As the stage at the village hall is not very large, they were com- pelled to leave out some of their best sketches, but it is safe to state that the audiehce was given the worth of their money. Mrs. Mc- Ginley has a superb wardrobe, carry- ing twenty-five gowns, and any one of which would incite the envy of any woman. A Herald-Review repres- entative was given an opportunity to view the collection and the im- ported gown, a Paris creation brought forth exclamations of ad- miration. The Bob and Eva McGinley company grows more welcome each succeeding year. Piano Demonstration. A. L. Roecker’ has accepted the agency of the Werner and Schulz pianos and has ten instruments on display at his tailorshop. Two rep- resentatives of the Werner Piano Co., Messrs G. J. Gustafson and G. H. Redel, are demonstrating the pianos and a large number of people have been in to examine them. During the stay of the demonstrators the pianos will be sold at factory prices. They are of fine tone and finish and ap- pear to be good instruments in every respect.

Having decided to withdraw as Re- publican candidate for the office of Judge of Probate, I wish to thank my many friends throughout the county who have assured me of their support and urged me_ to re- main a candidate. In justice to these friends, the people of the county in general, and to myself, I wish to say a word with reference to the office and its importance. I was at first induced to file by many who believed the office of judge of probate should be something more than an agency for the promotion of lawpractice of favored attorneys. I believe, and many others believe, that the office should be held sacred, even as the memory of our dead jis held, and that the office in See teeteeteteeteeteeteeteednteteetetetete eteeeteeeneaneaettet s HOUSE WIRING AND FIXTURE HANGING A SPECIALTY ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES AND MACHINERY W.N.
