Frank A. Day, the Governors pri-
vate secretary, came to Duluth the
other day, and attempted to mould
more favorable opinion among the dis
contented Duluth Democrats with a
'Hoch the Kaiser" interview in the
Herald, in which he spoke most highly
Of the popularity Of the local appoint
ees to state position. Mr.. Day claims
that Governor Johnson will not be
candidate for reelection, and that he
has no idea of becoming candidate
for further honors within the gift of
the people.
Labor Commissioner Williams gave
former factory inspector Allen fitting
rebuke this week for neglect Of duty,
but local labor men can see no reason
why an additional inspector should be
sent here to help out Mr.. Hagberg.
unless an experienced man for ma
chinery is desired. If the administra-
ton thought more of labor and less Of
politics, factory inspector would have
been appointed who had some practi-
cal knowledge of danger places in ma
chinery.
The United States Congress has killed
the anti-injunction bill. After the
homicide a resolution was passed pre-
venting it's re-introduction in this con-
gress. That is killing labor measure
with vengeance. Well, when a nasty
Job is to be done we believe in doing it
right, and the better it is done the
quicker labor will learn where to find
it's friends.
Andrew Miller has introduced a. bill
in the State Legislature which is de-
signed to get after 'shyster" lawyers.
This is carrying grudge with a ven-
geance. A certain prominent lawyer in
this city il said to have flim-fiammed
Mr.. Miller out Of large sum Of mon
ey. Mr. Miller attempted to have him
indicted by the last grand jury, but
that august body took no action be-
cause of the absence of a law cover
ing the case. Now Mr.. Miller intends
to fix the law SO that he will be pro-
tected when entrusting a lawyer with
his money in the future.
The daily press is taking the wife
knows Representative Nolan of Mime
apolis appreciates that measure as one
of that gentleman's practical jokes.
Mr.. Nolan never made a serious move
in his life. II he SHOULD for moment
suppress a joke, there would immedi-
ately follow an internal explosion in
that solon's anatomy.
Most of the members of the Duluth
delegation are pledged to the support
Of the several labor measures now
pending before the state legislature.
This is the last week in city politics.
Interest seems to center more in the
proposed bond issue and the charter
amendments than it does in the candi-
dates for office.
The hottest fight is in the Fourth
cratic nominee, and A. J. Lyle are con-
testing for honors for Alderman. Both
sides have their forces pretty we'll lined
up, and election day will find mighty
struggle in progress. The fight will be
bitter until the polls close in the even
ing.
Frank Schaeffer is taking the last
week of the campaign quietly in the
Sixth ward. A visitor in the ward
would never know that a contest was
on. In fact, one-half of the people in
the ward do not know who the Repub-
lican candidate is.
Moses F'iliatrault claims the election
In the Seventh ward. While Alderman
Barnes is making a strong fight, he
recognizes that the contest is the most
interesting he has been in during his
political career.
Every friend of fair play is asked to
vote for Frank Cutting for Special
Judge of the Municipal court A care
full study of both candidates will con-
vince any fair-minded man that Mr..
Cutting Is the most logical candidate
for the position. For this reason he
should be elected
