to the end, and tie end will assuredly
see Mr.. Graham Senator for the
Twenty-eighth Legislative District. The
subject of this sketch was born at La
chine, on the beautiful St. Lawrence
River, in the Province Of Quebec, i'll the
year 1874. Ills parents were Highland
Scotch, and indeed it would scarcely be
necessary to record the fact that he was
of Scottish descent for the information
of any person who has ever gazed on his
magnificent physique. Els parents,
while Mr. Graham was yet a boy Of IL
years, removed with tileir family TO
Monroe County, Wisconsin, where
the boy lived until he attained the
estate of manhood. Mr.. Graham, al
though it may not be generally known,
has war record which many would be
proud Of, but, AS in other things, his
modesty prevents him from allowing
any more mention being made than that
he 'sfought from the Wilderness to the
wind-up." He belonged to the 10th
corps. After leaving the arnny-in 1865
he went on to the frontier as scout
and guide, and can narrate the incidents
of many hair breadth escapes he has
had from being scalped by the red man
OF the west. MIR. Graham is now en-
gagged i'll railroad enterprises. He had
large contract on the Union Pacific
while it was in course Of construction,
and later was identified prominently
with the building Of the great Canadian
national highway--the Canadian Pacific
Railway. lie has been successful in
all his railroading enterprises, as he has
been in everything he ever undertook
He does not boast OF any great educa-
tien-that is, 80 far as 'tschool~learning"
isconcerned-having received & common
school education-but he is well-edr
Gated in the ways Of the world. He was
married in Wisconsin in 1870, after
which he removed to Minneapolis,
where he has resided ever since, excepting
when his business called him elsewhere.
He is 81 consistent Democrat, and above
all an honorable, upright man, and the
people OF the Twenty-eighth District can
rest assured that they will be repre-
sented by man who will never miss an
opportunity Of advancing their interests
Individually and collectively if they
elect Mr.. Graham.

There Is considerable discussion
going on in the columns of the
Press in Louisiana, whether Police
Jurors should be appointed by the
Governor and Senate or elected d.,
ballot.
When the present plan Of appoint
ment by the Governor was put in
force, there was hardly a parish in
the State that was not badly in
debt, whose scrip was not selling
at from % to IS cents on the dollar.
now there are very f.w, il any par
Ishes. III debt and scrip will bring,
when there is any on the market,
80 to 80 cents on the dol ar. Could
jurors elected ut the ballot boz have
done any bettrrf Would the,
have done as well
Past history does not show that
they could.
The present law elects Justices Of
the peace by vote.
Does amy MA have tue boldneS>
to say that those officers eau BE-
compared with the jurors appointed
by the Governor, in ability or in
telligencr.
Why there are men elected TO ii |
those important Offices that do not
know the difference between II code
OF laws and saw log, and we're cleo
lions Of Police JuJots to be made
