Y'HE SIXTH DISTRICT.
u Is Destined to Become One Of
the Greatest Manufactur.
ing Districts.
It Should Be Represented In Con.
, gress by Capable and Ener.
getic Man.
Judge Searle, Candidate for Congress,
Should Receive the Vote of Every
Man In the District.

The circumstances surrounding the
present campaign in the Sixth district
are peculiar. The northeastern section
of the state has been slower than any
other in its development. For years it
has been and remained practically an
unknown country "a succession of bar
rem hills and morasses interspersed by
pine ridges. Its chief value to the peo-
pie of the Northwest has been its ire
mendous stores of pine and hardwood
timber, most of which has been monopo-
liked by men living in the wealthy cor
ners of the state. With the discovery of
its inexhaustible stores of iron ore.
however, the entire scene is changed.
The future of Northeastern Minnesota
| now looms up as no other section OF the
state. It is destined to become one of
the great manufacturing regions of the
continent, filled with wealthy towns,
cities and villages, and adding millions
annually to the aggregated wealth of the
nation. Railways are being built in
every direction through this vast region.
The national government is annu-
ally expanding hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to improve
the Great Lake chain which
furnishes the readiest and cheapest out
let for the natural wealth of this virgin
empire, which is soon to be given to
CT Utilization and the arts.
1t was wise to separate this region
from the strictly agricultural section Of
the state and incorporate it into con-
gressional district by itself No section
of our common country more strongly
appeals to congress for legislation look
ing to the complete development of its
great natural resources than the Sixth
Minnesota district. Duluth, st. Cloud,
Little Falls, Sank Rapids, Tower, Clo-
quet, La Prairie, Brainerd, and scores
OF other aspiring communities are des-
tined to become greater industrial CEN
ters. No locality in all the Union has
greater stake in maintaining the Repub-
lican protection system intact than the
Sixth district. Iron, lumber, stone,
brick, timber-these are to be taken
from the forest and the mine and con-
verted to the uses Of man. In the
near future WOODEN mills, Touring
mills and wood working machinery
will be added to these industries. If no
other district in the state belongs of
right to the Republican party, the Sixth
Minnesota district certainly does. The
Republican policy is necessary to its
every creation. 1t will be remarkable
and inexplicable if one county in the
district shall give Democratic majority
on the eighth day Of next November.
Judge Searle is peculiarly fitted 70 in
diligently and proftably represent this
great district in congress. In the first
place he is a man Of wide information
and great energy of character. He has
lived in the district more than twenty
one years, and in various ways has aided
in the development of its multifarious
industries. He is an excellent lawyer
| and well trained for legislative duties.
He has large personal interests in differ
ent sections of the district, and is in full
sympathy with its people. Every strug-
Cling industry will have in him an able
and intelligent advocate at the national
capital when he shall have been chosen
to seat in congress.
Judge Searle lived eight years in the
City of Washington and is we'll
acquainted with the people of
the nations capital. He is prob
ably now better known in all of
the executive departments of the gov
eminent than any member of congress
from this state, and that wide knowl-
OuSOASh NC uoCQ Ill t1c llSIcSUo VI LAS
constituents from the commencement of
his congressional career.
Through a combination of untoward
political events, the old Fifth congress
sional district has been practically I'M
represented in the Fifty-second congress.
However good man the Hon. Kittle
Halvorsen may be, even his best and
closest friends will not stultify them
selves by asserting that he is fitted by
either nature, education or association
to represent great and rapidly devel-
oping district in congress. The, district
has lost UNNECESSARILY by the mistake
| Of placing Mr.. Halvorsen in congress.
1t will remain for the coming repre-.
sentatives from the Sixth and Seventh
| districts to correct Mr.. Halvorsen's
errors Of omission and commission. No
| better selection can be made in the
Sixth than Judge D. B. Searle.
