JUDGE HOLLANDS S BOOM SHEET

Voters throughout the district are
receiving a campaign circular which
seeks to exalt Judge Holland by de-
basing his opponent, w. s. McClen
ahan. There are statements in this
work -in-the-d pamphlet which not
paper ia the district Is mean enough
to publish; therefore, the need OF q
handbill. This poor little maverick
would be a case of owner unknown" !"
were it,not that q line says it was spre-
pared by the non-partisan judiciary
committee of the fifteenth judicial dis
trict Of Minnesota, This is a good
joke, as the only such committee is
Judge Holland and his hired advance
agent, Fl. G. Stivers, OF West Supe-
frior. Therefore, the circular must
have Holland for q mother and Sti-
vers for a father. So we cannot blame
the circular for being SO prejudiced in
favor OF its mamma # was printed
and prepared in Wisconsin, thus PROV
ing that Holland is. a good democrat
--he does not believe in patronizing
home industries. Or, may be, there
wasn't a printer in this state mean
enough to get out such circular.
But the honest voters have little time
for these secret messages. Judge Hol-
land has his share Of newspapers in
the district and money enough to run
few more. Then why don't be pub
lish his campaign hot shot openly in
said papers and not resort to circulars
which his opponents would disgrace
themselves BY answering? The reason
is plain. His arguments are too thin
TO stand exposed to the light Of news
paper criticism. The circular seeks
dark places, and the only suggestion
we would make to those who receive
this latter day roorback is to follow
the advice contained in the following
paragraph taken from said circular:
Voters are cautioned to place no re-
lance upon any campaign stories that
are started TOO late to give time for
denial. It will be we'll to bear this in
mind, and disbelieve all last-hour sem
satiOns,

THE CASE OF MR.. HANER.

Although nominated by a Republic
can convention, and receiving the aid
and comfort of that party in his cam
paign for Office, up to the present
time, County Auditor Haner refuses
to acknowledge his allegiance to the
party or to act in harmony with his
associates on the Republican ticket.
If all reports be true, he is in fact
the center of clique, Of which Edi-
tor Martin, the liking Of grafters," is
the real head, and Haner the weak
tool.
Only last week Mr.. Haner showed
his colors in the case of y. w. John
son, republican nominee for commiss-
ioner from the fifth district. Mr.. Han
er and Editor Martin deliberatelycon-
nived to keep Mr.. Johnson's name off
the official ballot. And these two men
attempted to make deal with Mr..
Tweit, independent populist, for the
county printing for the News. Mr..
'Tweit's name was put on the ballot at
the eleventh hour. Mr.. johnson was
| TIE only Scandinavian nominated by
the republican county convention.
Was Mr.. Haner prompted in this matt
ter by his hostility to the Scandina-
Wan republicans? It looks that way.
But Martin and Haner are not the
whole thing in Beltrami politics. Sher-
iff Nygaard is still alive and healthy.
Seeing the injustice aimed at Mr..
johnson, he went and hunted up the
Judge of this district and laid the
matter before him. Judge Holland
Immediately ordered that Johnson's
name be placed on the ballot, or that
Mr.. Haner appear before him last
Saturday at Walker and show cause
why same should not be done. Haner
knew that the bluff would not 60, so
he did not go to Walker. The ballots
were reprinted and Johnson's name
went on. OF course the Taxpayers
will have to pay for the ballots twice.
The PIONEER endorses the whole
republican county ticket, with the ex-
ception of j. II. Haner. We cannot
endorse a so-ealled republican who
has done ali in his power to smash

LOOK OUT FOR RO0RBACKS.

Voters, beware Of lies gotten out the
last week before election. They are
schemes meant to deceive and are made
out Of whole cloth. Look out for them.
Two years ago the voters Of Beltra-
mi county we're deceived into believing
the vilest stories about one OF the re-
publican candidates for county office,
by a special edition of the News, got
ten out the last week before election.
The News now has an ally in that
kind of warfare in the Solway Press.
Look out for polecat editorials. Nc
decent man would write them, and nc
sensible man will believe them.

and he used to see the Duke going to church
every Sunday. with great prayer book or Bible

would sometimes unbend to amuse them. The

him to do such things. He answered. My

Some suggestive statistics relating to the pro-

1.-The Publishers Circular" In fiction there
were eighty-eight more new editions than in
the preceding year which may be taken as con
firming the hypothesis already offered in these
pages that reprints Of classical novels have been
on the Increase. In poetry, on the other hand
there were only tWenty-three more volumes pub
Hshed in 1899 than in 1898. These figures are
surprising. We had supposed that the versifers
had been buster In beIles-lettres. essays. mono

Never prophesy unless you know. 1t is a safe
rule, no doubt. But what becomes of the JOY
OF success? 1t is the fulflment of prophecy
made in the dark that brings the only sensa-
tion worth having. Take, for example, the sur
mise advanced -diffidently, we admit-in this
place only n week ago. The revelations of
authorship in Punch" it was asserted, would
probably fill Fleet Street with unhappy men,
stunned of all their fellows because after years
of secrecy. they had been found OUT in the
worst of all crimes the preparation of bad
jokes and worse puns. We say nothing now
about the condition of Fleet Street. That it has
witnessed the bitter woe of many a regretful
joker goes without saying For in the number
of Punch coming next after that one which
was starred in such sinister fashion with the
initials of the contributors, the staff of the
famous journal makes tacit confession. The
initials have disappeared! Publicity was too
much for the men upon whose shoulders there
has rested through so many years the weighty
burden of making all England laugh once Il
week. They expected. doubtless, unanimous
applause We can imagine what they got One
daring individual, Mr.. f. Anstey, is still un-
flinchng His full name is attached to one of
the productions in the number to which we
refer But the rest have Skurried back to the
shelter of anonymity. Perhaps it is better so.
