A prominent Boston physician, in re-

Pursuant to petition from the

the city of Virginia, whose duty it
shall be to prepare and submit to
the voters draft of new home

sidered to the advantage of the city
which at present labors under the
general law of 1898, many parts of
which have since been amended
and become obsolete, and which

Office OF Probate Judge.
The following article, clipped
from the Mesaba Ore, at Hibbing,
is pretty strong recommendation
for A. E. Pfremmer, candidate for
Judge of Probate, inasmuch as c..
N. Atkinson, editor of the Ore, is
Pfremmer's competitor in business:
A. E. Pfremmer, editor of the Hib.
bing Tribune. is a range candidate
for the republican nomination for
Judge of probate of this county, and
there is every reason in the world
why the range electors should
stand up to their man and see that
his majority from the ranges is
sufficient to overcome any posi-
BILE vote given another candidate
in any other part of the county
Mr.. Pfremmer is making a thorough
canvass of the county and is meet
ing with flattering encouragement
from all points. Hibbing's candi-
date for the responsible office of
probate judge has resided twelve
years In Saint Louis county, and
during one half of that time he has
made his home on the Mesaba
range. He purchased the Hibbing
Tribune five years ago, when it was
on it's last legs, and by dint of hard
work and by an application of his
newspaper and business talents has
built up the paper until it is one of
The Ores best exchanges. Mr..
Pfremmer is a student and is we'll
equipped to discharge the duties of
the Office he seeks. For a number
of years he was a Justice of the
peace in the southern part of the
state, and during that time acquired
a knowledge of law that will be of
material assistance to him in the
administration OF the affairs of the
office, and which will be protection
to those who have business in the
probate court. During his residence
in the county Mr.. Pfremmer has de-
monstrated his business ability,
good judgment. integrity and
courtesy, which are essential quail
itications for such a position. Mr..
Ptretnmer is range candidate. and,
being otherwise qualified, should
receive the undivided support of
the ranges, and The Ore believes
the range voter will display his
local pride by giving his vote to
range man who is in every way
worthy of it.
