H.lUkINS FUK Rob DUNN.

ly impressed with the view that Au-
ditor Robert c. Dunn is the logical
man for the Republicans of Mime
sofa to nominate for governor the
coming fall.
II have been in Tarpon. Fla, for
| the past few weeks" said the Biwa-
blk senator. Senator Clapp came
down from Washington for a few
days while 1 was there. O. D. Kin
ney is at Tarpon and is looking and
feeling we'll. He does not expect to
return to Duluth until about Nav
/. E. Z. Griggs of Virginia, Mimi,
is there ALSO"
"What's new up here?" queried
Senator Hawkins, suddenly turning
interrogation. The conversation
turned to politics and Senator Haw-
kins expressed himself freely on
the governorship. He said:
II would not say that Governor
Van SAINT cannot be re- elected, but
do think that Bob Dunn would
prove much stronger candidate
for the Republican party this year.
When l say this do 50 regardless
of any personal choice that I may
have. 1t is an off year and the pro-
liabilities are that the Democrats
will put up their strongest man,
and it behooves US to follow their
example. Dunn, in my opinion, is
our strongest man. He is the logi-
cal candidate Of the party. Govern
or Van SAINT is a good, conscien-
tious Republican. He has exercis-
ed his best Judgment in all matters
for the benefit of the state and the
party, but believe that the Repub-
lican party would be more likely to
be successful with Dunn as it's
standard bearer this fall than any
other man in the state News
Tribune. T.;
| COMMISSIONERS BERDIE, of Hib-
bing, was in the city Wednesday
and in conversation with The En-
terprise scribe expressed himself in
favor of bonding for new county
court house, but opposed to spec
ial election to vote on such propo-
sition, deening it expedient to save
expense by submitting the question
TO the voters at the regular election.
The bond proposition will come be-
fore the board at their meeting to-
day, and in case of it's failure to
| pass substitute resolution will be
introduced Ivy Mr.. Berdie providing
for the levying of a tax of one mill
a year for five years with which to
put up new structure, creating a
fund of the money thus collected
for that purpose. Based on the
levy of last year Il one mill tax will
bring in about $47,0D per year
THE village of Two Harbors is
confronted with condition not a
theory-the saloon men having or
ganized to make of the place strict
prohibition town. The idea is the
result of Il resolution by the com
mon council making the license
$1,000 per annun1, instead of $500, as
! heretofore. The saloon men OBJ
ject to the raise, and propose to quit
business as their respective licenses
expire, and the wholesalers are with
them on guarantee not to sell or
furnish stock to any new conner
who may desire to open. The loss
OF license fees would be serious
one to the village. and the saloon
men figure that they can win out
and obtain reduction of license to
the former price in this way.
ANOTHER candidate for congress
sional hono1s. in the person of J. L.
Jellison, of Cohasset, Itasca county,
will seek the support of republicans
at the primary elections. Mr.. Telli-
son is a timber cruiser and farmer,
and has lived in Itasca county tor
several years, He says that if elect
ed he will work for the construc-
ton of a deep waterway connecting
the great lakes with the seaboard.
Such an improvement would Ger.
tainly mean much to Northern Min
| nesOta.
