What Duluth Thinks of Good
Natured Joel

Duluth Herald.
Joel Heatwole wants to go to Chicago
as delegate at large, and he is now cir
culating around the state endeavoring
to have his name placed on the
delegation. Heatwole used to live
in Duluth, and was few years
ago reporter OH weekly news
paper printed here. He went from here
to Northfeld, where he took charge of a
paper printed there, and by some chance
was made secretary of the Republican
state committee two years ago.
Since then he has been very
conspicuous in Minnesota politics.
His Willingness TO talk freely to
reporters about every subject that
was suggested TO him resulted in
his being thoroughly advertised and as
a consequence his name has been men
toned in connection with every office
i'll the gift of the people. By those who
do not know him he is greatly over
estimated. He will scarcely succeed in
his ambition to go TO Chicago as dele
gate. He does not belong to that class
of politicians.
