Morris Thomas candidate for, the
Democratic nomination for County
Commissioner in the Second district
served as a member"of the City Council
some years ago, where he earned d
reputation as Being a true friend to the
tax payer. During those days there
was considerable extravaganza in num-
icipal AFFAIRS and it required a man Of

pose what: to him seemed the reckless
Of the peoples money. In
those days the Water Company took an
active part in the politics of the city.
Aldermen favorable to this company
were elected, and from the first Mr..
Thomas was its. most bitter opponent
He exposed a bribery scheme, where
an effort was being made to purchase
several members Of the Council. Money
was left with the City Clerk in an en-
velope addressed to- various members

one claimed + the: money. and it: was
turned over to charitable association.
Mr.. Thomas is a large employer of
labor, and has the reputation of: treat.

always pays the best going wages. If

; ANOTHER DECISION.
Concerning Clerk of Court of This
County.

Upon the refusal of his filing as can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for office of clerk Of the district court
on August 25th last, w. B. Moer. whose
filing for such office has since been al
lowed together with that Of j. p John
son, the Republican candidate and
present incumbent of the office, wrote
directing attention Of the Secretary Of
of State to the notice required by law
from such state officer to county audi
tors specifying the county officers
whose term will expire January next
and to be voted for at the general cleo
tion this year. The following is the state
ment of Mr.. Moer's letter concerning
the facts. upon which the decision de-
pends, together with the reply of Secre-
tary Hanson received at the date in
dicated.
''The present incumbent was elected
and qualified under the provisions of
section 10, General Statutes Minnesota,
1894, qualifying and entering upon the
the duties OF his office in December,
1900, and should he hold until January,
1905, his term will have exceeded the
term of four years fixed as the limit by
the constitution of the state. The mat
ter of filling vacancy in such office is
one left by the constitution to the legis-
ature, and apparently there is no room
under the decisions Of the supreme
court of the state for any legal question
whatever concerning the length of term
for which the present incumbent of the
office in question was elected.''
Mr. Moer received the following
answer from the Secretary of State.
Dear SIR
Yours of the 25th nst. received. I
find that at the general election in
1898, George F. Chester was elected
clerk of the District Court for a term
Of four years; his term expiring jan
uary, 1903. find by the returns of the
general election held Nov. 1900, that
J. P. Johnson was declared elected
clerk of court. I judge by this that
there must have been vacancy and
that Mr.. Johnson was elected for the
unexpired term. If the facts are re-
presented by you, Mr.. Johnsons term
expires January, 1908, and his success
sor should be elected at the coming
general election.
Yours truly,
P. e. HANSON.
Secretary of State.

there is no necessity for the coal barons
to arbitrarily raise the price of coal
that did not cost them any more 20
mine, than the coal We bought early
in the season for reasonable price.
The public is with the miners. 1t is con-
tributing handsomely to their support,
and is willing to make any kind of
reasonable sacrifice for them
After the strike is over we win ar.
preciate lesson learned in this dis
pute. 1t will teach US all how much
power the mine owners really possess.
1t should teach US to make an effort to
have the people take a step towards
getting control of this already great

There were many important develop
ments in the situation of the miners
this week. Several unsuccessful at
tempts have been made to force the
mine operators to arbitrate, but they
still fatty refuse. The Governor Of
Pennsylvania was appealed to yester-
day, and possibly he may do something.
The miners are still as firm and Univ
ed as ever. The contribution on Labor
Day have given them much encourage
ment. So long as the union can pay
strike benefits the men can be depended
upon to hold out.
The public are becoming more interes-
ted in the strike each day. While we
in Duluth are wondering what will be-
come of us this winter, we know that
