BATES IN THE LEAD.

Interest in the contest for the Re-
publican nomination for sheriff of
St. Louis county is increasing with
every day, William J. Bates ap-
Peared stronger yesterday than any
other candidate. His friends in Du-
luth and on the range are working
in perfect harmony and there is no
mistaking his very great political
strength. From the day Mr.. Bates
annouced his candidacy for the no.
mination for sheriff. he has been a
leading factor, and there is now We.
ry strong reason to believe that he
will be nominated. There are OBJ
vious reasons why Mr.. Bates nor
his friends would care to make spe.
cific claims, but Bates sentiment is
growing stronger every day, and
for the excellent reason that his
strength is becoming more and
more manifest. He is known as a
hard worker in performing the du-
ties appertaining to the office OF
deputy sheriff, and since he has re-
signed to run for sheriff, he is hust.
ling with an effect that is putting
him in the lead at the present time.
There will have to be some impor.
tant change in the situation if Mr..
Bates does not land the nomination
for sheriff next Tuesday. The poll
tical gossip on the street yesterday
was notably strong for him.-Du-
luth News Tribune.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1902-09-12

Having successfully passed this
gauntlet and having been supplied
with the ballot that he wants to
vote, the citizen goes to the booth
and marks his ballot just as he
would in a general elec-
tlon' expressing his preferences for
each office by marking a cross 3D.
Posite the name af the candidate of
his choice. On the ballot everv
candidate is given an equal show
by the law. No one candidate stavs
at the head of the list all of the
time, for that is decided advan-
tage. The law requires that when
the ballots are printed the names
must be rotated, and each candi.
date must have his chance at the
top of the ballot. There are ten
candidates for sheriff on the repub.
ican ticket, and that means that
the forms will have to be CHANGED
ten times. AS fast as tenth of the
ballots have been printed, the top
candidate will drop to the bottom
and another tenth of the ballots
printed. Not only that, but in

1T TIE KINNEY.

The Wallace Contracting Co. are
pushing the work of stripping the
Kinney mine, near Lucknow, and
the property will be placed in po-
sition to make good shipping rec
ord the coming year. Tracks to the
mine will be in another week, and a
large force are employed in surface
improvements. The Kinney is one
of the Mesaba group of Republic
Iron & Steel company in charge OF
Supt. Parmelee, the fee to the prop.
erty being owned in part by the
company.

blocking the ballots no two can
come together with the same candi-
date at the top.
One<diherence between the pri1na
ry election and the general election
is that the polls are open longer for
the primary. They open at 6 o'clock
a. m. and close at 9 o'clock p. m.,a and
if there are voters waiting at that
hour they must be kept open rea-
sonable time longer to get them in
One marked change from the old
system IS that defeated candidates
cannot run independent, by petit
ton. though others can. Also. no.
body that votes at the primaries
can sign an independents petition.
