Kiley, editor of the Grand | Rapids Herald-Revi has filed for) the democratic nomination for repre-| sentative to the state legislature from the fifty-second district. “Governor Kiley, as the newspaper boys call) him, would make a representative that | would be more than a credit to his| district and the whole north part of) the state. He knows what this part) of the state wants, needs and must | haive, and the is of the sort that will get those things if there is 4ny “get: | ting” at all. He is square, fearless} and right) and unless the other mem- | bers of the legislature played the | game accordingly, they would hear from Mr. Kiley—and it wouldn’t be) in any timid manner either. Here’s hoping that the fifty-second dis trict shows more wisdom that did the forty-ninth at the last election) and chooses a man of Mr. Kiley’s stamp.” George McCarthy, political writer) on the Duluth Herald, comments as | follows: “E. C. Kiley of Grand Rapids, who filed for the legislature in the Fif- ty-second district. should prove @ formidable candidate. He is a Demo- crat of the progressive type and an ardent Wilson supporter. Few men enjoy such great persona] popularity as Mr. Kiley, and his friends predict that he will make a great run in @ normally Republican district. The Primary contest on the Republican | side will be a sharp one and is on such lines that sore spots will prob- | ably be found after the primaries, Mr. Kiley is sound enough for the Pro- gressives of all parties, and be May | be able to capture votes in sufficient | numper at the general election to elect him.” | Dave Cuppernull, of the Virginia | Virginian, has the following inky | bouquet for the Herald-Review pub-| lisher: | “Editor Edward C. Kiley of the; Grand Rapids Herald-Review has | burst into politics with a bound, hav-| ing filed for the democratic nomina- | tion for the legislature in the Fifty-| second district. Mr. Kiley is one of} the veterans of Northern Minnesota | and if elected he will be one of the | biggest boosters for this section in the house and he understandsr his | business in that line, Success to! you, Brer. Kiley.” (x2 OUT OF TUNE. Edward T. Young, chose an un- propitiovs time, as a lawyer, to an- nounce himself in favor of the ini- tiative, referendum and recall, includ- ing the recall of judges. It comes just at the time when the bar of the state and the national association were emphasizing their opposition to any form of judicial recall. But, Mr. Young seeks office, and it is notable that about all the law- yers who favor the recall of judges are actively in politics, most of them for the offices they may get. There! is a notion that just now a majority | of the voters favor this, though an| majority of overwhelming lawyers ar in opposition. It is this tendency to cater to a supposed popular demand that makes thoughtful people rather shy at the| Political activities of these attorneys | who are so ready to besmirch their own profession. . There is another and a better way for lawyers to purge the courts of unworthy judges and it is time they took it, rather than running to the people with their soiled linen.—Du- luth News-Tribune.

Jenswold is a Democrat of the Wilson type and one of the best-known and Most popular men that the people of his district could put in the field. While he will have a hard fight on his hands to beat Mr. Miller, the Democratic candidate ig no new hand at the art of play- ing politics and he has the advan- tage of a prevalent feeling throughout the district that Mr. Mil- ler has had two terms in congress and a change might be advantageous. SPA Stats SE Farmers throughout Itasca county should cooperate with H. J. Maxfield, very planning to secure testimonials from farmers throughout the state, for use in a pamphlet which he is preparing to send to the farm- | ers of the east, who are struggling along on high priced lands. The ex- perience and recommendations from men who have made good on Minne- sota farm lands will carry conviction to the eastern men who are looking to Minnesota, particularly the north- ern section, for new homes on lands within their reach, Sead LA Tal Itasca county people will back up Major Eva. of the Duluth Commercial club, who is proving to Duluth people by actual demonstration that the spli log drag is one of the best contriv- ances yet invented for the smooth- ing of roadways and.making them fit | for travel. The split-log drag has | been found the best, cheapest, tae most effective creator of good roads of northern Min- with section combining economy practical service—a combination for | in this nesota, which the taxpayers invoke blessings | on it wherever used. | Oo Walter Smith, state treasurer, is the only man on the state ticket who will not be forced to make a primary. For the election, however: he will be opposed by either Hen- Minneapolis. Mr. Wessel has the reputation of being a good vote get- ter. He is a German and for many years the office of state treasurer has gone to his nationality. This is a fact that Mr. Wessel’s friends have not overlooked and a vigorous campaign will be started to round up the German vote. nd The new ruling of the post office department is being modified to al- low holders of lock boxes the privi- lege of getting their mail as usual. This will do away in a great meas- ure with the hardship which the rul- ing would impose on many people to whom a daily mail service is neces- sary. While the post office employees! are, no doubt, justly entitled to a day off during the week, it would seem that the time could be adjust- fect and interfering seriously in many cases with important business. —_—_- Now that it is practically conceded that Eberhart will receive the Re- Publican nomination, a good deal of interest is centering about the rival | candidates for the Democratic nomi- nation for governor, While both have progressive platforms. Ringdal is receiving the support of the Demo- | cratic leaders and the odds are rath- er against the university man. —__—__ Don’t let the political situation ob- scure the fact that the big Itasca county fair will be on September 19, {going around the state proclaiming ‘torney general, has filed to succeed | | wWais no money in the Wilson treas- 20 and \21, and that it's going to out- hine any previous exhibition that the county has held. pence eal Life seems to be just one cold rain after another. date for chief justice against Chief Justice C. M. Start. It had been sup- posed the venerable chief justice} would have no opposition. The fil-| ing of F. Alex Stewart of Minneap-| Olis was generally looked upon as, the effort of @ well Meanipg young man to startle the older lawyers, in| which effort he succeeded. But} the filing of Judge Stan- | ton is a different matter. The Be-| midja judge is a populér man, still | youthful and energetic. The fact that he is a Democrat will give him a| following to start with, even in a) non-partisan primary, and he is a strong campaigner. It is difficult to see just what kind of a campaign a candidate for chief justice can make, but there is the equation of personal acquaintance to be consid- ered. It will be Chief Justice Start’s age and standing against the more youthful vigor of the Bemidji judge. Justice Holt, the appointee of Gov- ernor Eberhart, will have no opposi- tion. This is @ sincere compliment to the Minneapolis jurist and speaks well for the judgment exercised by Governor Eberhart in making the ap-j pointment. Judge Oscar Hallam and Justice 'C. W. Bunn, both of St. Paul, will contest for the other place on the bench. Justice Bunn was a Demo- erat and was appointed by Gover-| nor Eberhart to fill the vacancy caus- ed by the death of Justice Jaggard. Wiht these two places on the supreme bench in contest, the result will be watched with interést- Reminding Mr. Peterson. The Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch has this to say of the manueyers of the Minneapolis candidate for the United States senate: With Jim Peterson of Minneapolis, his candidacy for the - United, States Senate, at the same trying to hang) on the coat tail of the Roosevelt- | Parkins trust party, how can he rec- oncile the fact that he said a few} things against Teddy.

Welcomes Senate Inquiry. Governor Wilson has made it clear to every man, Woman and child that he welcomes am inquiry by the| senate imto preconvention campaign expenses this year. In discussing his candidacy for the nomination, he said that at least three times there ury and that he was satisfied that at no time did it contain any money to which criticism might be made. The amount of the campaign fund which brought him the nomination he} said he did not know, but declared that Chairman MeCombs didand that he had no doubt the figures would! be given willingly to the senate prob-| ers.

To the Voters of Itasca County: I hereby announce myself as non- partisan candidate for reelection as Judge of Probate. I feel that dur- ing the past two years I have srevy- ed the people of the county faith- fully and efficiently and without regard to political or other affilia- tions. I believe that I have proven my contention of two years ago that the office should be filled by one of legal training. The greater part of the practice in the office in conduct- ed by lawyers ahd it stands to reas- on that he who sits in judgment should have an independent under standing of the law and not be forc- ed to rely on the statements made by the several attorneys who have in view, principally, the gain of their clients. The probate court, more than 4ll| other courts, hag to deal with the unfortunate; widows, orphans, de- linquent children, the feeble-minded and the insane, in fact all the peo ple of the c6éunty who are in any wise unable to properly care for themselves or their property.
