Vote for Frank G. Brooks. Charles NJ

Vote for Frank c. Brooks, Charles M,
Pond, John Day Smith and Frank J.
Geist for judges of the district court.
Mr.. Brooks is the man who compelled
the street railway company to issue
transfers on it's cars, and not in sweat
box. Judge Pond is entitled to the ever
lasting gratitude of every taxpayer and
citizen for his famous charge to the
grand jury on municipal rottenness.
John Day Smith is an able, honest and
conscientious attorney, who will prove
to be fearless champion of right and
justice on the bench. Frank Geist has
had judicial experience, having served
the city for term as justice of the
peace. He is popular with the masses
and will give good account of himself
if elected. There are too many Repub-
lican judges for this county, and the
voters should make change.

JUDGE WILLIS FOR CONGRESS.

1t is almost unnecessary to appeal to
the readers of the Irish Standard in be-
half of Judge John w. Willis, Demo-
cratic candidate for congress from the
Fourth congressional district of this
state. In our last issue appeared
sketch of this fearless and uncompromis-
ing champion Of the peoples rights. No
man in Minnesota deserves the support
of the reform forces more than he. for
he has always been the consistent oppo-
nent of special privileges to tho few at
the expense of the many, and has
brought upon his head the anathemas
of the rings and corporations for advo-
eating the cause of humanity and dealing
out even-hahded justice to rich and poor
alike. :
He is incorruptiblc. and that is his
greatest offense. He cannot be bullied or
intimidate,l by the threats of corpora
lions, nor be q oled nor wheedlea by
their batteries. nd hence it is that he
has always beerl he &rget for abuse and
misrepresentation ffdm their subsidized
organs. and He'd h an anarchist and
repudiationist for preaching the true gos-
pei of Democracy on the money question.
Judge Willis is Il Jeffcrsonian Democrat.
who advocates bimetallism--the money
of the constitution-and who opposes q
protective tariff"for the enrichment of
syndicates and trusts. That is enough
to render him odious with the pln-
tocracy. but favorte with the Democ.
racy of the Fourth congressional district.
and OF the entirel state.
The counties Accomplishing the district
in which Judge Willis is candidate are
Ramsey Washington Chisago. Isanti and
Kanabec. The present Republican in
cumbent was elected by majority of
1924, but in this contest, owing to
Judge Willis popularity, and the wave
of reform which is sweeping over the
state. the same Republican candidate
may be defeated. AS campaign orator
Judge Willis has no superior in the
Northwest. He is born politician, and

In his opening speech of the campaign
In this city. John Lind made pledge to
reform the administration of the laws
so as to secure to the producers of the
state more just proportion of the pro-
duets of their toll; to save to the people
what is left of the public riches of the
state, and to see to 1t that taxation shall
be as just and equal as possible. That is
all the people desire-equality in the adj
ministratiOn Of the laws--and John Lind
if elected, will do his best in that direc-
ton, in accordance with his oath of Of

John Lind is a man of irreproachable
character--upright and honorable in pri-
vate and public life. During his con-
gressional career his voice was always
raised in the interest of the people. He
| is broad gagged and liberal in his views,
and will make an ideal governor. His
plutocratic opponents have been at a loss
during the campaign to SAY aught against
him. The independent Republicans of
the state, who are tired of party dicta-
ton, will vote for him, and the three
parties TO whose summons he responded
from his camp in Chickamauga will
support him to a man. The Irish Ameri-
, can voters who are opposed to an Anglo
American alliance. which Mr.. Lind has
j repudiated, will be true to him to the
end. and the citizens of every nationality
who believe in government of the peo-
pie. by the people, and for the people,
will cast their ballots for the great COM
moner and for every candidate on the
state, legislative and congressional tick
cts. A grand future is in store for Min
nesota if it is rescued this time from
the grasp of the plutocracy If the peo-
pie fail to perform their duty, many
years may elapse before another John
,, Lind arises in the state as the champion
of their cause.

For SHERIFF ALonzo PHILLIPS.

AS fearless champion at all times of
everything that TO it seems right and
honorable, the Irish Standard believes
that it is its duty to take decided
stand before the issues are submitted TO
the voters next Tuesday on The all alb
sorbing topic in local Democratic circles
at this time, the contest for sheriff The
Irish Standard, regretting the circum-
stances that brought about the heated
controversy, has remained silent up to
this time, hoping against hope that some
settlement of the vexat,ous question
would be made, but our hopes have been
in vain and it now remains for us to
place this paper on record in favor Of
the candidate whom we believe is in the
right and that candidate, in our iudg-
ment, is Alonzo Phillips, present sheriff
of Hennepin county. In so doing it is
not our purpose to go into detail in this
matter in an attempt TO review the Diff
ferent phases of the controversy from
the beginning. These matters have been
discussed to such an extent already that
nearly every elector has, no doubt, form
ed an opinion as to how he will vote,
but matters transpiring day by day and
which have come to our notice within
the past few weeks, lead us to believe
that Alonzo Phillips, whose Democracy
has always been unquestioned, was be-
trayed, sold out as it wece by those who
should be his friends and whom he has
many times befriended. The Irish Stand
ard is Democratic newspaper. 1t
steadfastly adheres to Democratic prin-
ciples, but it has no hesitancy in saying
to it's readers that it has good reason to
believe that an Inscriptions coterie of
pretended Democrats have for reasons
best known to themselves opposed Sheriff
Phillips from start to finish and con-
tinue to do so. Therefore the Irish
Standard stands Loyalty by Alonzo Phil
lips in the closing days of the struggle
and earnestly advocates his reelection,
having the fullest confidence in him as
man and Democrat and believing that
at no distant date our course will be
vindicated and that it will receive the
approval of all fair minded men. Alonzo
Phillips is on the ticket as I'll independ-
ent candidate for sheriff. He is still a
Democrat and when the polls close on
next Tuesday and the votes arc counted
there will he a surprise in store for those
who imagine that he is not.

the council, and never disturbed his
equanimity. BY all means vote for
James Gray and rebuke the Republican
PARTY by defeating it's candidate by an
overwhelming majority on Tuesday next.
Every self-respecting Democratic voter
will not cast his ballot for Doc Ames,
who Is merely decoy to take votes from
Gray, as he did two years ago from John
Lind. Vote for the regular candidate,
James Gray. by placing a large cross
after his name, and then you will have
performed your duty as becomes good
citizen of the municipality.

1t is significant that no persuasions
could influence knutc Nelson to speak

Leighton as an Adiuster.

Fl. N. Leighton, Republican nominee
for alderman of the Third ward, Is said
to be the agent and adjuster of tho in
surance combine and as such aids the
insurance companies in scaling down fire
losses far below the actual damage sus-
tanned. The schemes pursued by him
are various. One plan is to fix upon a
sum for a loss so ridiculously low that
the other appraiser can not consent to 1t.
An attempt is then made to divide the
difference and if this succeeds 1t leaves
the owner short considerable part Of
the loss, all for the benefit of the corpor-
alton. Being an expert in this line and
familiar with all the devious methods,
Mr.. Leighton is too often successful. r.
1t becomes necessary to select third ap-
praiser or referee, Mr.. Leighton makes
1t his business to select person who
will concur in his estimate and again in
this way save money for the company at
the expense of the owner. Sometimes
the scheme is to SO arrange matters that
Mr.. leighton is selected as referee. in
which event he can always be relied upon
to decide in favor OF the company.
Other instances have been reported to
us of similar transactions, where prop
erty owners VINO have for years and
years paid their insurance rates and have
subsequently suffered losses have been
deprived through Mr.. Ieighton's effory
of large part of their just dues. These
facts evidence the attitude and sympathy
which the Republican candidate for
alderman has for corporations and other
rich clients against the common people
and proves that he would be an unsafe
member of our city council, which Is
constantly subjected to The strongest
kind of influences to serve ccrpartions
and to forget the interests If the people.
Corporate influence is the one thing to
be dreaded in our legislative councils,
and If Mr.. Leighton is already the paid
servant and agent of one Of the strong
est corporate combines in this city, what
else can we expect him to do il he be
elected except to serve and obey the
commands Of the corporations at the ex-
pense of the people of this city.

Curblng and Parking.

One feature of the grading of Idaho
avenue is attracting considerable at
tention among property owners and
if the example is followed it may do
much to improve the appearance of
our village streets. G. r. O, johnson
has caused the gutter in front of his
residence to be dug in such way
that curbing of elm planks could
be put in, and better still he has put
in curbing of this kind. This leaves
from four to six feet between the
sidewalk and the curb, which, as it
contains the trees and is protected
from travel by the curb can easily be
made pretty strip of turf. Other
property owners along Idaho avenue
have signified their intention of put
ting in a similar curb, and when once
it is introduced on this one street, it
is easy to see how the curbing and
parking will pecome popular among
all the property owners.

Back From KlOndike.

John w. Anderson, who started fol
Klondike in Otto Olsen's party, re.
turned last Friday night and walking
out home, surprised his family. He
has had enough. He sold out to his
comrades forty-five miles up the
mountains from Port Valde, started
back, leaving them pressing onward
in good health, and fair spirits and
with provisions for nearly year and
half. They sent their regards to all
their friends. Anderson said he saw
no gold. no one who had seen any
and but few who had seen any who
had seen any who had seen it. He
admits there is some gold in the Daw-
son district, but thinks the amount
there has been magnifed many thou
sand times. His trip cost him a lit
tie over $500. but he is that much wiser
and so glad to be at home once more
that he does not care. He will now
pillow and plant his farm in peace,
comfort and content, believing that
he has a better thing than any Klon-
Times.

"Bummor."

When people are trying to be very
polite in their language, they avoid
the use Of the word hummer, "
yet it is a most respectable word
and is not slang by any means. It
is not even an "Americanism," but
has come to us from our English rel
atives and is found in the English
market bylaws of two centuries ago.
In the form "bummaree' it APP

Originally it meant fish peddler.
You are likely to get your head bro

the word until the early fifties, when
it appeared in California
