sAA. u. OWENS.
Some facts About q leadioa Caodi-
date for Sheriff.


Some of the new corners in St
Louis County are asking, "Who is
Sam H. Owens?"
Sam H. Owens not only is pi-
oneer citizen of thesbest county in
Minnesota but he is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for
sheriff.
Mr.. Owens has lived in St. Louis
County fer nearly 2e years. He was
born and raised on a farm near
Oshkosh, Wisconsin,. In time he
quit the soil and went into railroad
work. January e. 1883, he came to
Duluth. Four days later he started
tor the iron mines ri Tower. He
walked over the old Hksmilliou trail
and arrived at Eais veEa1illion
January IL. the trip taxing ak days.
That winter he was engineer in the
sawmill there, and later dressed all
the lumber for the first twenty FIVE
houses erected for miners in the
new iron mining camp.
During the l8 years that Mr.. Ow-
ems lived at Tower he; was Chief of
Police and deputy Sherif # nearly
years and Municipal Judge three
years. He has had, therefore, actual
and practical experience in the du-
ties that go with the sheritf's office
and feels unusually well fitted for
that office.
Mr.. Owens came to St. Louis
County newly married man. He
has practically opposed race suicide
by raising six lchi!dren, with the
help of Mrs. Owens-three boys and
three girls. He always has been a
property owner and tax payer in St.
Louis County-in fact his interests
are confined to St. Louis County.
He buys where he votes aud pays
taxes, instead Of patronizing Mime
apolis merchants and Chicago mail
order houses. He believes in home
trade as we'll as home rule-princi.
Piles that every resident of the Iron
Ranges should preach and practice.
Mr.. Ownes cast his first vote for
the Republican party and ever since
he has been loyal, consistent sup
porter of that party and it's princi.
piles. He believes, too, that public
office is a public trust and not a
private snap. If nominated and
elected to the Office of sheriff of ST.
Louis County he guarantees always
to remember and follow that belief
He further promises to give his
time and attention exclusively to
the office and it's duties. His depu
ties will be selected for fitness, and
each and everyone connected with
the office will be considered a ser
want of the public.
! For nearly eight years Mr.. Owens
has been a resident of Eveleth. Al
present he is yard master for the D
4 L. K. at Eveleth. He believes tina,
the great Iron Ranges should have
reasonable repres entation in the
county offices. He most respect
fully solicits the support of the
voters at the primaries September
18th y.
