ott” stata stipoeiidnitn ce KILEY SUPPORTED BY (Continued from First Page) that bears signs of landing him at St. Paul as a member of the next legislature. This is made possible by reason of the fact that the people northern Minnesota are looking for the man, regardless of the party, to look after their interests, and in Mr. Kiley we have all those requirements for representative that insures that his presence will be felt in the legis- lature for the good of the north coun try in case he is elected. Just as an instance of his fitness, the Carlton county republican com- mittee immediately after its organ” 4zation, heartily and thoroughly en- dorsed Mr. Kiley’s candidacy, and in Aitkin county there are any number of rock ribbed republicans who are standing behind Mr. Kiley in his fight. In Itasca county where he is best known by reason of twenty years of hustling for the good of northern Minnésota, he will get a sub- stantia] majority, while in Koochich- ing, where he is known as “The Father of the County,” he will be well to the top when the votes are counted.

Walker Pilot: Republican news- papers in this legislative district are saying some mighty compli- mentary things about E. C, Kiley, candidate for the legislature, and the wave of sentiment in his favor is no doubt puzzling to many who realize that the district is strongly republican, the newspapers are republicam, and the two candi- dates, McGarry and Warner, are repub- licang too, and strong in the district at that, while Mr. Kiley comes into the open as a democratic candidate simply because he was a democrat years before he ever thought he could: be of service as a legislator. And here we have republican newspapers using Kiley editorially, using him locally end featuring him on the fron page. The Carlton county republicam, press is for Kiley; International Falls republican papers are giving space to Kiley; the Cass Lake Times is for Kiley; the range papers have gone to Kileyizing and for that matter, Kiley’s loca] contemporary at Grand Rapids is for Kiley, Sam Blythe, the national political prognosticator, tells of this same kind of sentiment” ail over the land. The new generation of voters are not looking for the campaign button on a candidate's coat to designate his party affiliation; prefer to ascertain what he’s got in his head. It's brains they're looking taxation of unused railroad lands which originated in Aitkin and ex- tended through a number of years was being fought out im the legisla- tures amd in the public press. Mr. Kiley did valiant service in the con- ventions called to further the project and with his facile amd trenchant pen until victory was achieved. So with all other matters affect- ing the welfare of Northern Minne- sota, Mr. Kiley has been a worker and enthusiast for the things advo- cated by the Northern Minnesota De- velopment association and his paper has beema factor in their achievment, In Carlton county: the other day at Looks Like Winner. een or twenty years and is one of | ond district shows more wisdom than the best newspaper men in the state.| did the forty-ninth at the last clec- He is a writer of ability and nobody | tion and) choses a man of Mr. Kiley’s 1 tor and publisher of the Grand Rap-|by a large majority, Mr. Kiley as a ids Herald-Review spent a couple of | Democratic camdidate stands an ex- 'kind of representative who will do -|can be depended upon to be on the er.

He is a man who makes friends on acquaintance. His winning smile, his unfailing geniality, his enthusiasm for every cause that will benefit Northern Minnesota are qual- ities that few can resist. Those who do not know him personally, know him through the columns Of his pa~ per, the Grand Rapids Herald-Review in which Kiley in the flesh is reflect- ed faithfully. On the strength of por~ ularity alone, aided by the widesprea. ; knowledge that he is sincerely and! unselfishly for Northern Minnesota’s best interests, Kiley will poll a big vote. Kiley is taking no sides in the Re- publican contest. He is going about his business boosting his own cause. Many friends of Warmer prefer Kil- ey to McGarry. Many friends of Mc- Garry prefer Kiley to Warner. The Grand Rapids editor is certain to get mamy votes from each side, and unless signs fail, he will get a suf- ficient number to elect him. The Fifty-second will make no mis- take in electing Kiley.

John Jenswold, Jr., made a nice | talk in the Nelson opera House at Cloquet Saturday evening, as did al- so E. ©. Kiley of Grand Rapids, can- didate for representative. Mr. Jens- wold said that Congressman Miller had not voted as a progressive on | everything down at Washington and | that he was non-committal on his| present preferences between Taft | and Roosevelt. He led the people to think that Miller was a diplomat at least. He was well received by al big audience of people. Mr..

In former years, to receive the re- publican nomination for the legisla~ ture in this district for tre legislati ture in this district was to be prac~ tically assured of election. This year, however, there is a democrat in the field in the person of E. C- Kiley of this city who has the other candidates guessing. From other coun ties comes the word that friends) of the two republican candidates are ad vising their friends to vote for only one candidate and thereby concen- trate all their strength on theirf av- orite andidate. Warner and McGarry are not mak- ing very active campaigns, a fact which may work against them in the election.—Iiasca County Independ- Making Considerable Commotion. Editor Kiley, of the Grand Rapids Herald Review is making considerable commotion as a democratic candidate for the state legislature from the fifty-second district. The fifty-sec- ond is a republican stronghold, but the republicans are scrapping among themselves something scandalous and it is predicted that Mr. Kiley will win handily. He is easily the leader of allof the candidates of all parties, andand his election would be a big boost to the well-being of north- ern Minnesota. As a member of the state legislature the northern part of the state would have a champion that would do things and be able to tell you the reason why withou a mo ment’s hesitation. And, besidse that, Mr. Kiley is one of the most pleas- ant men in the world, and amighty good mam to have on your side— Mecaba Ore. Kiley In Towa. E. C.

Mr. Kiley has been a resi: dent of Grand Rapids for eighteen or twenty years and is one of the best newspaper men in the state. He is a writer of ability and no-/ body can mistake his meaning when he “takes his pen in hand.” At all times he has been a persist- ent and consistent booster for North- ern Minnesota and has not been particular whether he was supporting Democrats or Republicans for office. Of course, we have no fear that Kiley will be beat out Mr, Warner, our present representative, but Pat McGarry will have to look to his laurels or the big man from Grand Rapids will get him.—Aitkin Repuwbli- can, E. C. Kiley’s Candidacy. Northome Record: Edward C. Kiley, editor of the Grand Rapids Herald- Review, who received the Democratic nominaticn for candidate to the legis~ iature from this district has a unique record to fall back on. Twenty years ago, Mr. Kiley took up the publishing of his newspaper, at Grand Rapids. Since that time he has devoted his time and contributed much of the space of his valuable newspaper to the boosting of north- ern Minnesota: and particularly the Fifty-second Congressional district. At the time of the division of Itasca county—when Koochiching was set of—Mr. Kiley was one of the great factors in bringing about the improvement. He was im a posi- tion to “kmock’the move but real- ized ithe importance of the same for the development of the northland, and wovked hard for it. One of the main planks in Kiley’s platform is his endorse of the reapportionment of the } lative districts. He holds that a com- bination of Koochiching and counties would be proper. Mr. Kiley states that in case h elected, he will vote that the state money—about twentY-five million d Jars—which is now in foreign bonds, will be loaned, at a low rate of imter- est to municipalities i the state to aid in the building of roads, bridges, judicial ditches and other improve- ments. Mr. Kiley imtends to work inces- santly for good roads and road im- provement. Twenty Years a booster for north- ern Minnesota, and his place is in the legislature. Mr. ent Itasca Looks Good For Editor Kiley. Pine River Sentinel: Charl Mahnke of Moose Lake, edit publisher of the Star-Gazetic that place, in a very intere: ticle regarding the candidates state representative for this has the following to say about ward C. Kiley of Grand Rapids, which shows the way Carlton county vote on November 5th. Mr, Mahnke |says: “Kiley is a big man, physically, he weighs about 225 pounds, mentally he weighs a great deal more, he is aman of ability, a man who will do things, a man who has decided views, a man who is paying his own campaign ex- penses, therefore he in a position to vote and stand for legislation that is right. No man, regardless of who he is, can serve the people who has | accepted the financial aid of any cor- poration, firm, or individual. for they buy your pody, soul, principle and character and expect you to sacri- |fice everything amd vote for their measures regardless of the effect on the public.” And the above is only one sample which shows the intelligent voter's intentions on election day. Koochi- ching county will line up even strong- jer than Carlton; Aitkin coumty hag |picked Mr. Kiley as Warner's team mate, amd Itasca county, the home of Mr. Kiley will naturally give him a rousing majority. With Kiley and Chas. Warner we will know that our interests and those of the entire northern part of the state will be well looked after. will Clearance Sale of Waists We are offering this week one of the finest ains in Ladies’ Shirt Waists ever made in Grand Rapids.
