TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rap- ids, Minn., as Second Class Matter. Official Paper of Itasca County WE KNEW IT. A few weeks ago the Herald-Review stated im plain English that J. Le fevre, the Examiner blackmailer and alanderer, was pursuing certain tac- ties ifor the express and only purpose ef gatting himself arrested for libel so that he might appeal for sympathy and get financial aid thereby. He had ‘been arrested for criminal libel; he has appealed for aid. When the Heralld-Review exposed the vagabond’s murpose, he indigmantly denied the ebarge. Events have proved the cor- rectpess of our diagnosis of his case. There have been imstances im the world’s history where the people have gustained those who befriended and defended their cause, and Lefevre, the mounitpank, is making a desper- ate effort to secure for himself a place among the martyrs. If there ever has ibeen a Judas I, that chap is it. He prates about the wrongs ef the working man, when as a mat- ter of fact, he never had anything to do with a working man in his life that he didn’t swindle in some man- ner. Take, for instance, the case of honest, hardworking Tony Simes: Tony, through imdustry and frugal- ity, had saved up a little money. Le- fevre learned of his savings and went to him for la loan, of $150 with which to maintain a “working man’s paper.’ Tony accommodated him. He had to sue to get judgment on the note. A judgment against Lefevre isn’t worth the paper required to record it. Now Lefevre is ‘trying to play the symipa- thy act with certain members of the eounty board. He bought an old press on a note signed by John McAlpine, the millicuaire Jumberman of Duluth. ‘the voters of the district. or mot he had any qualifications for | McAipiné is said to have signed a note for $800. Lefevre says he only paid $200 down, and if the county commissioners don’t come to his rescue—b-0-o-h-o-o—he’}l_ loose his the office they did mot know. In face of this fact, however, he ed 1,228 more votes than M plant—b-o-o-h-o-c, Just watch theca-|things: First, Warner received a reer cf the rascal and watch the pen pictures of his operations as given from time to time by! the Herald Re- view.

The Sociallist vote in this legisla- tive district is significant of the rap- idly growing strength of that party in Northern Minnesota. Peterson, the Socialist, polled 296 more votes in the district than was given to Kiley, the Democrat. While Mr. Peterson | did not make a personal campaign, his party friends in each of the five counties were busy in his behalf, and they got results. In the entire dis- trict the Socialist candidate ran more than twelve humdred votes ahead of his ticket, receivimg many a joint vote with the two Republican candi- dates. Hspeciallyisthis true of the total of 4,964 votes or 983 more McGarry. It is evident that Warner’s ence petween the straight Sociatist vote as represented by that cast for Morgan, and the showing made by Pet- erson. The second thing illustrated, and that which is most significant, | is thefact that the average citizen ts no donger afraid to vote for a Socialist. pee OE SR eae AN ABSURD VOTE. Now that election is all over and Neate cooled off, let’s take a peek at the situation as it relates to he vote for county attorney. One thous- and one hundred sixteen votes were cast in Itasca county for Tom Ward for the office of county attorney. Tom Ward did notand does not claim to have any qualifications whatever for the office. He is not an attorney, Warner vote. The Anti-Saloon League/ tind he been elected he would have sent out thousands of letters over the district urging county optionists and others opposed to the liquor traf- fic to vote for Warner and Peterson. The press of the district had made Kiley’s campaign conspicuous and both McGarry and Warner became alarm- ed. As a result, each Republican can- didate urged his followers to vote for “me only’ or “me and Peterson.” Peterson was not considered a dan- gerous factor, being on the Socialist ticket. Yet he came within 692 votes of tieing McGarry, out of a total of of 15,235; or, if 347 votes had been transferred from the McGarry vote to that of Peterson, this district would have had a Socialist member in the house. The result must be very Socialist party of these Peterson, was not known to but very few of Whether gratifying to the northern counities.
