Ali classes of citizens unite in condemning, most emphatically, the course of the Independent. Even the fact that within the last year the editor of the Independent was ulr successtul in a lawsuit tried in Judge Staunton’s court does not ex- gain office. It can not be believed that the Independent would publish ; the article in question without the | sanction of the candidate who is opposing Judge Stanton. The bar of the Fifteenth Judicial district virtually nominated Judge Stanton by the almost unanimous endorsement given him by the eighty-five leading attornneys of the district. The Independent accuses members of the bar of cowardice, saying they did not dare to refuse to cuse this unjustified attack upon the wench and bar of the Fifteenth judi- cial district. Much of the article is unqualifiedly false. It is stated, for imstance, that Judge Stanton decided ten cases in succession against one cer- tain unnamed attorney be- cause the attorney declined to be of assistances in a certaim matter. ‘mis is made out of whole cloth. @here never Was any such instance. Since the district was first organiz- ed, years ago, mo judge has ever de- eided ten cases in succession against @my one attorney. The falsehood t@us told by the Independent is so epen and so rediculous that it serves as Ks own answer, e The Independent says further that wien Judge Stanton became judge “pe had a wire pulling machine cre- ate the third office of judge in this @rstrict.” The law creating this. office was enacted by the legislature. A third judge was an absolute necessity in this district. Every one recognized that fact. When the bill was being considered attorneys from.all over the district.ad @ressed letters to the legislature, earnestly requesting that the bill pass. Judge McClenahan, than whem no judicial official in the state stands higher, either as to integrity or abil- iw, himself wrote in most emphatic terms to the legislature, detailing the situation in the Fifteenth Judicial dis trict, and declaring that a third judge was an absolute mecessity. Judge McClenahan is known to literally thousands of voters of this district amd is respected and ad- mired by them—his friends are Jegion. The attack thus made up- em him in charging that “ a wire- pulling machine created the third judgship” is bitterly resented in every quarter. Voters who know of this article will rebuke such methods most em- phatically on election day. Voters A. B.

Such an endorsement as the bar gave Jud Stanton could have been obtained, on only one ground.

He stands squarely up- on the platform adopted at the re- publican state convention and his position is too well known on the liquor question to need any com- ment. It is only necessary to say that should the legislature, which body represents the people, enact a county option law, the governor has promised to sign it. Since asuming the executive chair he has attracted more attention to northern} Minnesota’s needs for de- velopment than any other governor He was the father of the National Development meeting; it was he who through the national meeting, which he secured for St. Paul, attracted the attention of people in every part o® ‘the country to a realization of northern Minnesota’s immense re sources, the many acres of agricul- tural land awaiting the plow, the need for good roads and more set- tlers, and finally he awakened the people of the state to the fact they must get together and boost if they would see their state bécome ome of the, if not the greatest in R.

From the reports coming in from {all over the county there is every indication that deer and moose are | more plentiful than they have been for the.past five years, which is prob- ably due to the efforts of our ef- | ficient game warden, Jesse Harry. Deer have been seen across Hale | dake rom the pumping station and large numbers have also been seen in other places near the village. ; Plenty of both deer and moose have | also been reported in the town of Big | Fork. Eastern sportsmen are flooding lo- | cal hunters with letters, asking ques- tions relative to the abundance of game this year, and Game Warden Harry informs the Herald-Review representative that many from points in the east will hunt in Itasca county this year and make Grand Rapids their outfitting headquarters. The season for killing deer and antlered moose is limited to twen- ty days ,from November 10 to Nov- ember 30. The law reads in part as follows regarding the killing of game animals by resident hunters of the state: ‘Every resident of this state, over twenty-one yeans of age, is pro- hibited from hunting, taking or kill- ing any game animal unless he shall first procure a license therefor from the townty auditor of the county in which he resides, provided, however, tthis shall not apply to any hunter, hunting im his own county. Said aud itor shall, upon application, issue to such person a license under his seal, apon blanks to be furmished him by | the game and fish commission, and | upon payment of a license fee of $1, | which license shall expire on the 15th y of December, following the date |of its issuance.**Only one such li | cense @hall be issued to any persoy | and it is hereby made the duty a | such licensee to exhibit the same t | any person upon request.**Any resi | dent who has paid such a fee and | procured such snse to hunt such | game may, during the open season, jhunt, take and kill one antlered | moose and two deer. | The law, in part, regarding the | killing of game animals by non-r ident hunters of the state, rea as follows: ‘“‘Every person not a resi- dent of this state is prohibited from hunting, taking or killing any game animal unless he shall have first pro- from cured a licenes therefor first the game and fish commiss commission shall, upon application, igsue to any non-resident, a license to hunt game animals upon the pay- ment to it of a license fee of $25, | which license shall expire upon the 3ist day of December, following the date of its issuance.**Any non-resi- | dent who; has paid the fee and pro- cured such license to hunt game ‘animals may, during the open sea- Continued on page seven | M.
