At a late date A. B. Clair, of Grand Rapids filed for the legislature from this district subject to the will of the democratic voters at the primaries and . as he has no opposition, he will be nominated. Mr. Clair is not only well known in his home county of Itasca, but also has a host of friends ail ever the district, and no matter whom the Republican nominee is, it is veryprobable that after the votes are counted he will be one of the representatives from this district. A. ®B. Clair is an old-time resident ot Grand Rapids and he is thoroughly ainted with the needs and con- s of the 52nd district through whole length and breadth.

Se eee As the date of the primary election approaches nearer, it becomes more clearly apparent that Mrs. Hattie F. Booth will be the successful nominee for the office of county superintend- emt of schools. During her in- eumbency of the office, Mrs, Booth has done more to establish the eountry schools of Itasca county on a glam equal to, or superior to the gchools of the surrounding counties than any other county superintendent Itasca county has ever had, and, al- though many of the schools are dif- ficult to reach, Mrs. Booth has given each and every one her personal at- tention and today the rural schoo! system of Itasca county is recognized as one of the best in thé state. Wher Gov. Ramsey made the great public school system of Minnesoto pos- sible by his setting aside reserves, he made himself the benefactor of every child in the state, aes When an official makes good he should be retained and for that reason Archie McWilliams, county commissioner from district No. 3 should be nominated by an_ over- whelming majority. A pioneer resi- dent of the county, coming here be- fore the railroads were built, he has had ample opportunity to become thoroughly acquainted with the needs of his district and the county at large. As chairman of the board of county commissioners he has ad- ministered the affairs of the county with absolute impartiality and has made good in every particular. -———__-—__-— John P. Trebilcock, county commis- sioner from the third district and : candidate for re-election, can certain- ly point with pride to the record made by him during his incumbency of office. He is a business man, first, last and all the time and he has been of much _ service to Itasca county. The office of county commis- sioner is an important one and all who desire to see the affairs of Itasca county administered on a businesslike basis will cast their vote for John P. Trebilcock. ge eee Glen Strader, candidate for the office of county treasurer, is another candidate who is quietly but surely gaining the confidence of the vot- ers and will be nominated by a large majority. Mr. Strader’s past record is such that the taxpayers Jean place every confidence in him and his administration of the office being appointed by th board of county commissioners is such that he is entitled to the office. 2». since In conservativeness lies the strength of the jnation, is a fact that all will recognize. Why not introduce a little of it into Itasca county? W. 4A. Rossman, who is a candidate on the Republican ticket for the office of county attorney, is a Conservative and all parties unite in agreeing he is the man best fitted, both by edu- cation and experience, for the office of county attorney. Itasca county has had enough of radicalism and ali who are interested in seeing an im- partial administration of justice will see that he is elected. cad ee ae ee Editor Seeley, of the Coleraine Optic has awakened to the fact that | the nasty little gang of mud slingers who are attempting to prejudice vot- ers against our popular and efficien: sheriff, T. T. Riley, are doing that geptleman more good than harm by their absured prevarications. The Optic says: ‘We pause to predict right now that Thos. T. Riley will b« re-elected by a great big majority, in spite of the concerned opposition of the Gole-Price faction.” ————___ The candidacy of Charles Kearney, Republican candidate for the office of probate judge is gaining ground every day and assurances come from all parts of the county that he will be nominated by an overwhelming vote. Mr. Kearney is one of the pio- neer residents of the county, coming here in the early days, and he has a host of friends all over the county who will rally to his support and down the adherents of dirty politics. Ee Se The shortest, most concise, yet most comprehensive legislative plat- form we have yet seen is that of Charles H. Warner of Aitkin, who is a candidate for the legislature from the) big Fifty-second district. Mr. Warner has not used a superfluous word, yet seems to have omitted nothing the voters could wish to know, says the News Tribune. eS Se ae The Coleraine Optic very aptly re- marks that “unless all signs fail there will be a new face in the county attorney’s chair next term. GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1910. In @ personal letter to the editor of the Independent by a brother Democrat editor, we are taken some- what sharply to task for supporting, a man who makes county option one of the planks of his platform, our at- tention being called to the fact that (Mr. Warner’s advocacy of sumptuary laws should be repugnant to all who are familiar with the cardinal prin- cipals of the Democratic party. We agree. The Independent is opposed to county option, because it believes that the principle is fundamentally wrong. But, the Independent also believes that the other planks of Mr. Warner’s platform are of fa: more importance to the people of Northern Minnesota, and that Mr. Warner is the man among all candid- ates who will be most likely to suc ceed in compelling the next legisla- ture to do justice to northern Min- nesota as regards re-apportionment and other issues. Mr. Warner at least has the courage and _ the honesty to tell the oters where he stands on this county option question, and is will- ing to take his chances on the is sue. With the exception of Mr. Maben, not @ne of the other can- didates has indicated his attitude, wherefore The Independent pins its faith in Charles H. Warner.—Aitken Independent. @n FRUIT OF TARIFF TAZ4ES. The “best tariff law ever passed” increased the protective tariff on manufactured rubber. If left raw rubber, in which Boss Aldrich is heavily interested, of duty. Boss Aldrich deals in raw rubber, and the protected manufacturers of rubber are his customers. The most raw rubber they. buy, the greater Boss Aldrich’s profits. It is good for the manufacturers of rubber, who are business associates aud friends of Boss Aldrich, to have rubber free, because they are pro- ‘tected sa well by the tariff that they are in a position to absorb all the benefit# of free rubber, eaving none whatever for the consumer The Wall Street Journal, in*-a news note in a recent issue, tells about one of the first fruits of the rubber schedules in the new tariff law which Aldrich made and Taft signed. This fruit is exclusively for the enjoyment of those who make and sell rubber goods. The people’s free close part is a humble one: they pay the ills. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron, Ohio, has in- creased its capitalization from $2,000,- 000 to $6,000,000. The stockholders pay nothing for this additional stock. The public is expected to pay the that will provide dividends upon it. The stockholders of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company are now blissfully contemplating a cash dividend of 12 per cent and a stock dividend of 100 per cent. The public is expected to provide more such ‘pleasure for the owners of the new stock issue. It will be compelled to do this by the protective tariff duty which Boss Aldrich, in the interests of the rubber trust, put on manufactured rubber. Says the Des Moines Register and Leader, commenting on this evidence of, how the tariff works: “This con- ‘cern, and others like it in the rub- ber business, had no more need of an} increase in the tariff duties on manu- factured rubber articles than a man with enough to eat has of more to gratify hoggishness. Yet under the direction of the interested Senator Aldrich and others associated with him, the rate on rubber manufactures was raised from 30 to 35 per cent. When concerns like the above make such enormous profits that they can afford to pay a divident of 12 per cent in cash and 100per cent in stock reductions in rates are needed, not increases. The case furnishes an illustration of the sort of tariff re- vision the Republican national plat- form did not pledge the party to bring about.” The tree of tariff taxes yields rich fruit. That fruit is picked and stored away and eaten by the few benefi- ciaries of special privilege who have a pull with Aldrich and the Republica organization. The tree is fed with the products of the toil of millions, and watered by the tears of the disinherited mul- titudes.—Duluth Bvening Herald. profits CITIZENS OBJECT | TO CLOSING ORDER Continued from page one where many of us have lived for years, by the publicity, including that the government must step in and and direct us in the management of our owm affairs. Northern Minnesota has made remarkable progress in the last few years. We have puilt schools, churches, public buildings, roads and business industries, but the government, so far as the pub- licity end of the situation is concern- ed, is apparently a party to a scheme to place us on the black list just at the time when we are bending every effort to the development of the section and its nrany and varied resources. Personally I am not con- cerned about the liquor proplem, but I am very much interested in the progress and development of northern Minnesota. With the competition of- fered by railroads and promoters in states further to the west and the northwest we have difficulties enough without the federal government step- ping in and giving us the benefit of a black eye and a lot of discouraging publicity. If I had any suggestion to make it would be that the govern- ment send some intelligent person who has lived west of Jearsey City 0 into our section of the country and look it over. The he might be able to report to the officials at Wash- ington about the real conditions in northern Minnesota.” As a result of the agitation of the situation a movement is on foot to have a conference of business men from fnorthern Minnesota towns held in the Twin Cities at an early date to consider ways and means of secur- ing relief from a condition which a majority of the citizens believe is becoming intelorable and working an injury to the interests of their sec- tion of the state. ‘ False Report The Grand Rapids correspondent of the Duluth News Tribune must have taken an overdose when sending in a account of the closing of the Boston Grand saloon. The article stated in connection with the closing that com- plaints were lodged against A. Mc- Alpine and John McDonald, on a charge of introducing liquor into clos- ed territory, but their cases were allowed .to rest for the present. There is not a word of truth in this report. McAlpine & McDonald have rigidly adhered to all the laws in connection with the liquor traffic and their place is one of the most orderly conducted in the village. The report may have risen from the fact that a newspaper found wrapped a- round a whiskey pottle at Deer River bore the name printed on in “James McDonald.” JOHN BROWN Candidate for re-election to the of- fice of County Suveyor of Itasca County. Announcement. 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 fis held, and that the office in Itasca county should be purged of the suspicions that now ~ surround it. Today it is generally known and openly declared that there is a crying need for a change, and I believe the desired change will be secured by hte election of Charles Kearney. A three cornered fight always renders the results uncertain, and not unfrequently promotes the interests of the undesirable. To aid in preventing the possibility of a continuation of the present admin- istration and to set the seal of dis- approval upon unworthy methods in public office, I urge every friend of mine in Itasca county to cast their votes on September 20 for Charles Kearney, an able and honest man.
