men, including the governors Of states.

presidents of universities or colleges

explaining especially in the later let

mand for eight hours, and to the gen.
eral demand for it in mechanical and
transportation lines and other union
trades where an eight-hour day is rea-

Il might easily dispose of your ques-
tons by simply saying yes to both,
but it is a matter that feel very
strongly on. believe with Franklin,
as general proposition, that eight
hours is long enough for any man to
labor. I believe that man should
not be required to labor, either men
tally or physically to the verge Of ex-
haustton. If eight hours is long enough
for a man at light labor. it is entirely
too much for a man who makes a hum
an derrick Of himself in heavier labor.
There are entirely too many able:
bodied, vigorous men who are living
by their wits and entirely too many de-
cerepit men carrying their load, and
millions of children working under un-
healthy circumstances who should be
compelled to go to school. I am in en-
tire sympathy with your cause -

been a. resident for the past nineteen
years and has always taken an active
interest in the welfare of all matters
pertaining to the ward and city. He
has never been a candidate for a pub

Candidate for Municipal Judge.

The voters will be called upon to
elect municipal judge at the city
election next Tuesday, Mr.. Brigham
one of the can didates, and whose
photograph appears above was born
in the state Of Vermont where his
parents are still living. He worked
his way through the schools of : that
state and graduated in the literary
course from Vermont Academy. After
his graduation he taught school win
ters and worked on the farm in the
summer and after. thereby acquiring
the necessary funds he entered the
University Of Michigan, graduating
from the law department of that in
stftution in the same class with Judge
Cant and Judge Cutting of this city.
Twenty years ago he located in Du-
luth and has continually practiced law
in this city since. For the first four
years of his residence he was a part
ner of Judge Cant under the firm name
of Cant & Brigham. Since the dis
solution. Of this partnership he has
maintained Offices by himself, most
Of the, time in the Torrey Building,
where he is now located.
During his entire residence here he
has at all times taken a. keen interest
in all public questions, being In the
forefront Of the fight for municipal
ownership and the gas and water
plant, the installation of the new tele-
phone system and other kindred mat
tiers.
In other ways Mr.. Brigham has done
his part towards the development OF
our city, having built ten or twelve
houses in different parts of the city,
always employing union labor in the
construction thereof.
He has suffered the reverses COM
mon to the most of us who have strug-
gled through the late panicky period
He NOW asks for the votes Of the
people, among whom he has so long
in every way thoroughly equipped and
qualified.
Opposed to him in this contest is
Judge William Lincoln Window. Judge
Window is nice, affable gentleman
and no unkind word should be said
about him. He first came here in 1897
Or 1898, and soon announced himself
as a candidate for congress against
Judge Morris. Afterwards he received
the appointment to his present pos
itton by the governor, at the time
Judge Edison resigned. Following this
he was elected to another term with
out opposition. Certainly he cannot be
heard to complain that he has not
Jared literally at the hands of the
people he SO recently came among.
In view Of these facts we feel that
the votes should be cast for Mr.. Brig
ham without regard to party affilia-
ton. His fitness for the place is be-
yond question, and his long residence
here, his consistent stand for mum =
cipal ownership of public utilities, and
his we'll known sympathy with organ
lied labor, entitle: him to the SURFACES
of the people we ;bespeak for him a
hearty SUPPORT, - *''x b.. -:
