ON THE TICKET
WITH JOHN A.
Former kandiyoii Lad, Success.
fuI Business Man at Hibbinq,
Makes The County a Visit.

A promising young man who
claims kandiyohi as his his native
county is the Democratic candidate
for treasurer on the state ticket
this year. P. Fl. Nelson, of Hib-
bing and Duluth, is the second son
of Hans Nelson, formerly section
foreman at Kandiyohl and Atwater,
and was born at Kandiyohi thirty
five years ago. When he was four
years of age the family moved to
Atwater, where they lived ten years.
Henry Nelson, therefore, was the
schoolmate and playmate of nearly
all the young men of Atwater who
have grown up there. His oldest
brother, Victor Nelson, died at
Willmar a few years ago, and the
widow and children still live here,
Mr.. Nelson also has relatives al
New London in this county, Mrs
Peter Ecklund being his aunt. Mr.
Nelson started out in life as tele
grapher and drifted to the new
iron regions Of Minnesota. He To-
Gated at Hibbing before there wa!
a railroad there, about fifteen year:
ago. He studied the mining prop
osition, acquired properties, and i!

LaFollette's People For Bryan.

Chicago. Sept. 30.-The demo-
cratic national committee is max
ing capital Of the attitude of Will
liam T. La Toilette, brother of Sen
ator Robert M. La Toilette of Wis
consin, and the public bureau was
jubilant yesterday when it learned
that Mr.. La Toilette had declared
in favor of Bryan for president.
The following interview from the
senator's brother was made public:
''Bob is simply supporting Mr..
Taft for the sake of party regular
ity, in much the same way that Mr..
Bryan supported Parker four years
ago. His heart, however, is with
Bryan and the principles for which
he stands. Bob ought to be a dem
ocrat. He stands for things demo-
cratic. I know the feelings of the
men who are the supporters Of my
brother in Wisconsin, and l know
they are going to vote for the great
commoner. '-Minneapolis Journal.

now a prosperous and well-to-do in
dependent mine-owner, with bank
ing interests in several of the min
ing towns and interests in mines at
Butte. Mont. His business inter-
ests require frequent trips to the
East, and he has acquired antexten-
sive acquaintance thruout all the
large business centers.
Mr.. Nelson has one trait which
has been considered great failing
among his business associates. He
has for years been democrat. He
is a great admirer of Gov. johnson.
"While the governor has hit the
mine owners hard,'" he said, "in-
creasing the valuation from 40 to
1870 millions, and l expect that there
will still be further increases, yet
l cannot help admiring the man.
He is the young mans candidate.
How famous our great governor
has become can be appreciated by
one who travels in other sections of
the country. When one registers
at a hotel in any city, as coming
from Minnesota, one is beset at
once by reporters and others who
want to learn something about Gov.
johnson.
Mr.. Nelson believes that it will
be impossible for the U. S. steel
corporation to swing their miners
into line against Gov. johnson.
Few people realize the enormous
proportions to which the mining in.
terests of Minnesota have grown.
Minnesota is now the first state ir
the Union in iron production. She
produces half Of the iron of the ma
tion and one-fourth of that of the
world. The miners employed num-
ber into the ten thousands. Thf
first labor crisis came under Gov
Johnson's admin S tration. Tt

cess relief money is being consid-
cred. II is proposed to turn it over
to the state, to be used in the case
OF any future emergency.
When Mr.. Nelson was asked to
60 on to the state ticket. he con-
sented on the score of assisting
Gov. johnson. He hardly expects
to be elected himself, altho it is
natural that he wishes to make as
good a showing as possible. He
made a flying trip thru this county
last Saturday in his new IS h. p.
Thomas flyer. He arrived at New
London Friday night, where he Wis
tied with the Ecklunds. Saturday
morning he made Willmar. A
message requiring him to leave at
once for Butte, Mont, compelled
him to make his visit here very
brief. He made pleasant call at
the Tribune office, and on his invi-
tation Mr.. Branham of the Gazette
and Editor Lawson of the Tribune
accompanied him as far as to Litch-
field, returning on the evening
train. Stops were made at Kandi-
yohi and Atwater, where Mr.. Mel
son renewed old acquaintance of
his family. He expects to return
to this county for more extended
visit within two or three weeks.
He has winning personality which
no doubt accounts largely for his
business success, and we believe
that he is young man who will be
heard from in the future and one
whom Kandiyohi county may vel
be proud of claiming as native
son.

judge from the troubles in other
sections of the country, fearful
struggle seemed imminent and even
inevitable. The steel corporation
appealed to the governor for mill
tia. Instead of sending troops, the
governor went himself. Instead of
going to the Offices OF the Steel
Trust and accepting the officials
version of the troubles, the gover-
nor mingled with the miners per-
sonally. He met the laborers and
their leaders, and he told what they
might lawfully do and what they
must not do. He told them that
they had the right to strike and
maintain their organizations, but
they must not intimidate men VIII,
wanted to work. Having won the
confidence Of the miners, he went
to the mining officials. He told
them that he would be responsible
for the maintenance of order and
that they must not employ armed
thugs to create trouble and intimi-
date the strikers. Several hundred
such gentry had already been picked
up in the slums of Chicago and
were on their way to the scene of
the troubles. The governors win
ming personality, tact and firm
stand won the day. No violence
occurred. Not a drop of blood was
shed, and very quickly the miners
and their emplo, ers came to an un-
derstanding and work was resumed.
In the eyes of the mining officials
and other would-be aristocrats, the
governor had demeaned himself in
getting into personal contact with
the grimy and Woodworking min
ers, but the miners themselves, es-
pecially those with families, and
all the independent business men OF
the ranges, appreciate fully what
the governor did for them, and Mr.
Nelson predicts that the handsome
vote the governor will get in the
iron country and the city Of Duluth
will be an eye-opener to the Stee
Trust officials and others who are
hoping to defeat him on the plea Of
party regularity.
Mr.. Nelson was a considerable
loser in the recent forest fires or
the range. A bank building cost
ing about $40, 900, in which he wa
interested, was entirely destroyed
at Chisholm, Hibbing was onl,
saved by change of the wind
The force of the hurricane of fir
at Chisholm was fierce. The hos'
of the fire company burned like 81
many strings, and all that remain
of the sidewalks is the rows O.
nails. So strong was the wind tina
no ashes remained after the fire
Luckily, the fire occurred in tn
afternoon. There was no apprehen
sion of danger until twenty minute
before the fire struck the town
The nearby mines provided a ref
uge for the people, so that no live
were lost. Had the fire come lat
at night the loss of life would hav
been appalling. The refugees wer
all taken to Hibbing, where tn
homes were thrown open to ther
and all immediate wants supplied
Mr.. Nelson says the relief commit
tee was so overwhelmed with funds
contributed from all over the coun
try, that after relieving ever
needy case of loss, more than $lOO,
loco remains. He says that n
needy persons escaped. so that it
safe to denounce as a fraud an
travelling beggar claiming to hav
lost everything in the fires on tn
ranges. What to do with the ea
