1t is still contended by some that
w. C. Sargent is still in the race for
sheriff. Can tell better after the
primaries, but we'll take the field
and stake whole litter of "yaller"
pups on our opinion.

J. B. Middlecoff was caller Sat-
urday, looking after his political
fences for the Republican nominal
ton for judge of probate. He had
been spending several days at adj
jacent points, and reports flattering
prospects.
J. T. Armstead, who is one of the
seekers after the Republican nomi-
nation for sheriff, was in the city
Saturday, just feelin' around. Mr..
Armstead is the first aspirant for
honors and emoluments of the po-
sition to show up in Virginia.

Metcalfe's X-Ray, of West Duluth,
says it looks "as though the fight
for sheriff would be between Archie
Phillips, of the range, and J. T.
Armstead, the Duluth laundryman
who operated non-union estab-
lishment until he wanted to run
for sheriff." A cold thrust, that.

With an evident idea of livenine
up matters bit, w. A. Holgate has
filed with the county auditor his
affidavit for the Republican nomi-
nation for county treasurer. J. r.
Randall would also like your sup
port for the vacancy on the Repub-
lican slate for the Office of sheriff.
At least, he has signified his inten
tioD by making the necessary de-
post with the county auditor.

Politics are all right; good to be
in if you win, and good to be out Of
if you lose. But The Enterprise Of
fers to the offce-seeker sure-thing
proposition fifty-two issues of the
paper for $500. If you are already
subscriber and happen to be in
arrears-remit. The doctor tells us
we are physically able to carry the
coin. If you are not subscriber
get into the game. Roll couple OF
cart-wheels this way and you'll no,
be disappointed in results.

DR.. D. Graham, of West Duluth
has filed his certificate and seeks
recognition by the voters of the
10th district as Republican candi
date for the house. With Geo. J
Mallory and P. f. Bowling in the
field, and other possibilities in
sight, it becomes evident that one
or more disappointments are in
store. But in consideration of the
taxable valuation and voting capac
ity of the northern end of the dis
trict as compared with the slice Of
| West Duluth which constitutes the
southern extremity of the shoe
string, the Mesaba is certainly en-
titled to one representative as wei
as the state senator from the dis
trict.

Yes, guess the job of county sher
iff must be all right-else there are
certainly several delusionists in St
Louis county. At any rate the vote
splitters continue to come, and the
Republican who cannot find good
qualities enough in some of those
| who seek suffrage for the position
must be near-sighted or possessed
of disposition so mean as to emit
tie him to lock horns with his Sa.
tanic peer for the mastery of the re.
gions Internal. In addition to the
candidates who had Heretofore fiji.
ed for the position-and they are all
honorable 1nen-John r. Meining
formally deposited his ten spot and
entered the race for the king row
on Saturday. Mr.. Meining is an old
timer in St. Louis county, has ever
been known as working Republi-
can, and would certainly make a
good official if elected. During the
first year of Sheriff Sargent's regime
Mr.. Meining was chief deputy in
his office.
