Official Paper of Itasca County THE LEGISLATIVE FIGHT. The legislative situation in this Gistrict has assumed interesting proportions in the Republican con- Sest for nominations. ef Brusegaard against Warner and the lot campaign he is making threatens to ‘be a fight that will not end on Tuesday next. The opposition to Mr. Warner is confined to no par- ticular element or faction. It is to be fcrnd in every county in the dis- trict, not excepting Aitkin, his home eounty. Prominent members and Of- Zicials of the Northern Minnesota De- ¥elopement association are out in @pen opposition to him. It is charged tha* Mr. Warner has not been loyal ée the best interests of this section; that he conspired with men who are eppoesd to certain measures relating te state funds to the detriment of this section, and in opposition to ths expressed wishes of the Develop- ment association. An effort has been made to make it appear that the liquor interests are Mr. War- mzer’s only opposition, but this plan af diverting attention from the real issue doesn’t seem to take sub- stantial root. The business interests @f the district appear to be deter- miped to retire Mr. Warner and have selected Mr. Brusegaard to beat him atthe primaries.

He knows the needs of this gecticn and has the knack for get- @ing the things that are of the most geod to the most people, and his 2lection to the state legislature would be the best thing that possibly could happen.

The selection of men to serve as @ounty commissioners is of greater @mportance to the taxpayers than @E the other offices combined.

In the BPeurth district, Morris O’Brien has gerved the county as a member of the board) for several years. His zecord should be known to every tax- Bayer who has taken an interest in eounty affairs.

Stanton of Bemidji for chief justice of the supreme court has been a source of gratification to attorneys throughout }the state. The advanced age of (Chief Justice C. M. Start is a strong argument against his reelec- !tion and the legal fraternity is anx- ious to see a younger man as chief justice. Probably no man in the state enjoys a wider personal acquaintance and popularity than Judge Stanton, while his residence in the northern part in recent years has given him an invaluable insight in the condi- tions of this section of the state. While a candidate for the chief jus- ticeship cannot make a campaign along the usual lines, the equation of his wide personal acquaintanceship and the fact that there is no repre- sentative north of the Twin Cities on the supreme bench will be two important factors in the campaign. Add to these his well known legal ability and reputation as one of the most able jurists off the state, and it can be readily seen that the odds in the contest are very strong- ly in Judge Stanton's favor. yee ——___——_—_ THE POLITCIAL VAUDEVILLE.

Evidently the governor has not found it necessary to descend to mud-sling- ing or to distorting the words and actions of those opposed to him in order to secure renomination, Abuse and petty fault-finding, while it may relieve the feelings of those who indulge in it, are not argument, but they have been the chief weapon of the so-called “progressive” candi- dates who are in the race against him.

Princeton Unicn: It is said that C. M. King of Itasca county, one of the democratic candidates for lieu- tenant governor, is frowned upon by the bosses of h‘s party, and that Winn Powers, a local St. Paul poli- tician is the favored one, Every northern Minnesota democrat should stand by Mr. King whether the bosses like it or not. Mr. King is a booster for northern Minnesota. Ringdal for Governor. There seems to be little doubt in Democratis circles but that P. M- Rinda! will be nominated for gover- nor by the Democratc. Mr. Ringdal nas made no campaign. He is at his desk every day at the State Capitol. With the exception of a non-political speech at Duluth, Labor day, he has not appeared/on the public platform. Every faction in the party is united on Mr, Ringdal. C. M. Andrist has peen making a vigorous personal ap- p2al. and while he has a following in fennepin county it is thought he has little chance to secure the nomi- nation, ? The Young Voter. Austin Transcript: Five million first voters, estimated for next No- vember, make a host worth cutting bait for. More than one and aquar- ter million of these are women and newly naturalized citizens. In several states women for the first time will vote for president. This is a vote worth bidding for, let alone the more chan three and one-half million males enfrenchised by age. Alert campaign managers are finding that the young American vote is quite independent of the traditional faith of their father. Courtesy to Former President. Commenting on the attention paid Col. Rooseveut by the governor, dur- ing the former’s stay in St. Paul, the Pioneer Press says: Some opponents of the governor will no doubt, try to make capital of the fact that he declared for Presi- dent Taft and the administration and that he hobnobbed all day long with Rosevelt while the colonel was in the state. There is no incon- | sistency involved in what the govern-| lf or has done. As chief executive of the state it was his duty to extend | courtesy of personal attention | and interest to the former president while the latter wes a guest in Min-| nesota, | | |PAID ADVERTISEMENT. This advertisement is inserted by Charles H. Warner and paid for dy | him, the amount paid being $10. I announce myself as a candidate for the Republican nomination for} Representative from the 52nd Sena- torial District, and in order that the voters may know what they vote for! when they support me I make the following statement of the measures for which I stand: I favor the enactment of presi- dential perferential primaries; the bringing of popular government clos- er to the people, and will vote for the choice of the people for United | States Senator. I favor the taxation | of unsold state lands for the support of schools, for constructing roads and for making local improvements. I am in favor of radical railway rate legislation. I favor 2-cent passenger rates for all, rich and poor alike. I favor a fair distance tariff freight law. I favor the regulation of ex- Press, telegraph and telephone com- panies and the reduction of rates to @ reasonable basis. I favor placing some restraint on the rates fire in- surance companies may charge and the placing of this matter in the hands of the State Insurance Com- missioner or some board with pow- er and authority to fix rates. I am in favor of eliminating brewery in- fluence in politics, am opposed to the brewery owned salon and in fav- or of county option. I am for a just reapportionment, for good roads, im- migration, drainage and the settle- ment and development of Northern Minnesota. I stand for a square deal and if nominated and elected will give to the people of this district my best thought and efforts and the most constant and faithful service of which I am capable. C. H.

To the Voters of Itasca County: I hereby announce myself ag non- partisan candidate for reelection as Judge of Probate. I feel that dur- ing the past two years I have srey- ed the people of the county faith- fully and efficiently and without regard to political or other affilia- _ tons. A ngiom et Tite gti, ae 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 and 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 thdir clients. | The probate court, more than all other courts, h@s to deal with the unfortunate; widows, orphans, linquent children, the feebdle-minded and the insane, in fact all the peo- ple of the county who are in any wise unable to properly care for themselves or their property: It is and should be the sole duty of the judge to look after the welfare of these unfortunates and to strive for their betterment and protection re- gardless of politics: friends or ene- mies. To accomplish this it is not sufficient that the judge can read and write or add and subtract, for the office has but little to do with letters and figures. It has to do with the living and dead and takes into account all conditions of life and knowledge of human nature is the criterion which determines in the largest measure what the judge shall do. It is in trying to live up to this ideal of office that I have dene the work I have in the past two years and I am seeking re-elec- tion on my record. If you approve of the record, I respectfully solicit your support, Justice asks you to look out for the widows and the or- phams of the future and by reason thereof the probate office is too im- portant to be assigned on @ccount of political or personal affiliations.

I hereby announce my candidacy for the Republican nomination for the office of county Treasurer of Itasca county, to be voted upon at the primary election in Sept. 17, 1912 I have been a resident and engaged in business in the county forthe pas ten years and have not heretofore held or sought any public office. I promise, if elected to the posi- tion I now seek, I shall endeavor in every way to conduct the affairs and perform the duties of the office in a careful, systematic and busi- ness-like manner, and impartially for the best interest of the county and its taxpayers.. Support at the pri- maries and at the election will be appreciated. W. J. POWERS. | For the first time in many years the supreme court will meet in ex- traordinary session and the occasion will be a test of one of the many con- flicting features of the new primary law. In this case the grouping plan is in controversy and a candidate for representative from Hennepin county has elected himself a committee of one to take the whole thing into court. The district court made a rul- ing holding that this particular ob- jector was in the wrong; that the legislature in enacting the law was within its rights, but the supreme court may hold different. If the law was attacked imvits entirety the tax- payers might get a proper ruling and in addition something which would put at rest the biennial spasms of the legislature, but the trouble is that every attack made hits at some spe- cial provision and either it is knocked out or approved without regard to the act as a whole. The attorney general, | I am told, takes the position that the law as a whole is unconstitutional, yet when any of its provisions are at- tacked he is compelled to use every bit of machinery at his command in an effort to convince the court that the law is what it purports to be. Attorney General Smith has said openly that should the Roosevelt party gain a foothold in the coming election to the extent of naming the electors it could not have a place in the next primary.
