PATRICK E. VAIL.

Patrick r. Vail was born in Shells
burg, Lafayette county, Wisconsin.
in 1859. He lost his parents at the
age Of 6 and was taken to Ontonagon
by an uncle. He received a common
school education but was early obliged
to take care of himself. He started
north and landed at Ishpeming.
Mich, where he turned his hand at
anything that came along. In 1873
he went to the Menominee iron ranges
which at that time reached their
boom period and worked in the mines
and pineries. In 1886 he ran for the
office of county sheriff in Iron county
and although defeated he ran ahead
of his ticket by LIS votes. He held
several local Offices during the eight
years Of his stay on the ranges, be
sides carrying on business Of his own.

Entitled 10 Vote.

As there has been considerable dis
cussion in this city regarding the
/ legality of certain votes, we give the
following advice received from the at
torney general regarding the same.
8 few inquiries had been made Of the
attorney general and that worthy has
answered as follows:
FirsEIf an elector vot Z for more
than nine presidential electors, should
his vote be counted for any?
Seconds an alien naturalized suf-
fciently to become an elector by rea-
son of his father having declared his
intention TO become an American
citizen during the minority of the
first mentioned party?
The attorney general says in his
answer TO these quiries:
Section 216s of the Revised Statutes
Of the United States provides that
where an afien who has declared his
intention to become a citizen of the
United States dies before being fully
naturalized, his wife and children
shall be deemed citizens and shall be
entitled to ali the privileges of citi-
zenship upon taking the prescribed
oath. Except in eases falling under
the above mentioned section. the
father must be fully naturalized to
effect the naturalization of his foreign
born children.
If IA elector places a cross mark
opposite the names of more persons
than he is entitled to vote for. for
any Office his ballot to that extent is
void. as it would be manifestly i'm
possible for the judges of election to
determine what should be counted
and what should not
This opinion from the highest legal
authority of the state settles a great
many points frequently in dispute
about this time.
In regards to voting for the nine
presidential electors, and other offices,
| the top of the ballet shows that Put
an X mark opposite the names OF all
| those whom you wish to vote for in
| the space Indicated by the arrow. .
Some have contended that to put an
x mark at the top of the electoral
names means that yoc vote for the
entire party electoral ticket but &C
cor6ing 10 instructions this Is false
and TO preclude the possibility OF your
vote being lost IA this manner put an
/ Z mark opposite every name for whom,
yon wish 10 vote.

in the real estate and leaning BUSH
ness at Groton, S. d.
He was member of the constitu-
tional convention held at Sioux Falls,
Oak, in 1885, which drafted the con-
stitution, under which, with slight
changes, South Dakota was admitted
into the Union as a state.
He removed TO Duluth in December.
1886. During the ten years that Mr..
Laybourn has resided in Duluth he
has been engaged in the real estate
business continuously. He is a prom
inent member Of number Of frater-
nal orders-Royal Arcanum, INDIE
pendent Order Of Forresters, Modern
Woodmen and others, and has been
connected with Several Of
the commercial organizations of the
city of Duluth and is known as a
hustler
Politically he has always been a
Staunch Republican and an active
worker in every campaign. He has
never held political Office. and the
nomination as representative came to
him unsolicited. He has a wide
acquaintance Throughout the district
and is strong and popular candidate.

p q SCHMIDT

P. c. Schmidt is one Of Minnesota :
leading German-Americans, born in
Ohio. in 1853, and while yet an infant
he emigrated with his parents to
Washington county, Wisconsin. where
his parents still reside. When less
than i years Of age he left home, and
from then until be was p years old,
he worked as a mechanic While at
work he used his spare moments to
acquire an education, and many a
night when others more fortunate
then he were enjoying themselves, be
could be found in some lonely room
bordering over books, frequently
until daylight All he has and all be
is he owes to himself.
When % years of age he commenced
the study of law with the late Judge
L. T. Frisby, of Wisconsin In 1882
he came to Minnesota, locating at
Red Lake Falls, where he remained
but year and a half, when he re-
moved to Crookston, and from there
in 1899. to Duluth In. the Red River
Valley he was, as in Duluth. one of
the leading lawyers. When he first
came to Duluth he became a member
of the then well-known firm of
White. Reynolds & Schmidt, and is
now the senior member Of the firm OF
Schmidt, Reynolds & Mitchell As a
lawyer, Mr.. Schmidt has had remark
able success. OF % cases tried by
himself and appealed TO the supreme
court. he succeeded in reversing Is,
and in nine cases in which he appear
ed for respondents, only three were
reversed Aside from serving as
county commissioner of Polk county.
he has never held any political Office.
Those who know him best love him
most.

again to industry and trade, there are
more evidences that buyers Of iron
and steel appreciate the advantages
of buying on the present basis.
Purchases to forestall advances eX-
pected after the election are chiefly
noticeable in pig iron-in foundry
iron by consumers, who are anticipat-
ing their average requirements for
from four TO nine months; in Bessemer
pig, by middlemen who understand
that 81 at valley furnace is below
cost, based on 81 ore and 81 coke.
Considerable Bessemer iron has been
taken in the past week-some at S10.s5
and other lots at 81 valley furnace,
with the latter figure the minimum
today. The steel market must
change radically, however, before the
stocks of iron held by merchant fur
naces will be worked of. Last months
billet and shetland tin-plate bar
business could have been handled
readily by single steel plant putting
out l.500 tons a day; and steel casting
and malleable works requirements,
added to the consumption by open
hearth plants buying pig metal in the
market. have been at the lowest
point. Eastern buyers who are more
likely to be disturbed by conflicting
accounts Of the political situation in
the Central West, have been slower to
contract ahead for iron than those
nearest the storm center. Chicago
records a large aggregate of pig iron
sales in the past two weeks, chiefly
local irons.
Though grain freights have been
advancing in the past week and q
cents has been paid on corn from
Chicago, and q cents on wheat from
Duluth, with three cents said TO be in
sight. there is no probability that ore
will be offered in any quantity likely
to add to the strength of the market
A few charters at 65 cents from
EScanaba are reported, and the
Marquette rate is IS cents, but from
the head Of the lake nothing is doing.
Season charters cover the bulk of the
ore vet to come from all ports and for
the most part it will be shipped by
the first week in November There
have been a few sales in the week,
confined TO non-BeSsemer ores. The
extent of the paralysis that is upon
Lake Superior mining may be judged
from. the estimate that the entire
working force now employed on I'll
ranges is between 1850 and 1000.

nun Ger would be nearly 30,o00.-lron
