The delegates elected at last week
Tuesdays primariesail went to Duluth
Thursday morning and assisted the
Republicans to make a ticket for
themselves. To see how we'll the
RS succeeded can be seen by the fol-
lowing ticket. The Convention was
harmonious and the slated nomina-
tions were made without a hitch.
The Mesaba range was not par
ticulary Struck" with the way Col.
J. R. James, Virginia. was turned
down for treasurer, and lay the blame
to the door Of the Vermlllon delega-
tion. Tho claim is made that at the
meeting held in VlrgIhia on May 20,
an agreement was made to the effect
that Virginia, or the Mesaba was en-
titled to either treasurer or auditor
but no one outside of few Initiated
politicians from the Mesaba knew
anything Of 1t.
The papers on the Mesaba claims
THAT the Vermilion range wanted
the Mesaba to turn down Neil Nc
Innis for clerk but ID view of the
pledge given 1t could not very well be
DONE" Now the question arises, who
made the pledge? The records of the
meeting of May 20, do not show that
pledges were exchanged.
Be it as it may. the Mesaba was not
treated as we'll as expected and the
whole reason seemed to be their
utter scarcity Of knowledge of what
they wanted or wished to get. In le-
CARDS to the commissionership it was
plain to be seen by the number of bal
lots cast for Morcom that the dele
gates from the Mesaba were not as a
unit for their candidate and con-
sequently Morcom run 10 ahead. Now
they-are mad and what is worse have
reasons to be. Had not their promi-
nent politicians worked against
their own candidates the result would
have been otherwise. The Mesaba
politicians are like all others: ''things
must come our way entirely or not
at ALL"
