Political Pointers to the Voters of the
North District.
| 1t is generally known that the pa
pers of this district are supporting
Mr.. Nolan. What do they say? The
Transcript claims that Mr.. Nolan
has won an enviable record for him
| self in the Minnesot legislature dur
| ing the past two terms. He has won
| glory for himself there can be no
doubt, but has he done much for the
average voter or taxpayer? Have
| his services in the legislature during
the past ten years been such that the
voters can reasonably support him
again?
! The last issue of the Record
stated that Mr. Nolan had supported
the gross earnings law. According
to house file No. POI Mr.. Nolan did
not support it. Another recent item
stated that Mr. Nolan has made sew
eral trips to Elkton and st. Paul to
look after the fixing of the railroad
crossing at Elkton. If the whole
sioners should have the credit in
stead of Mr.. Nolan.
! The Record stated some time ago
that Mr.. Nolan had resigned his di-
| rectorship from the Dan Patch Air
Line. Having received list of
their present directors, we still see
his name among them.
| AS I have claimed before, the road
law is unconstitutional. I now see
by the Record that Attorney Wright
gave notice to that effect I venture
to say that the demurrage law will
be declared unconstitutional also
There is no company that can fill the
demand for cars at all times. The
members of the hay shippers associa-
tion want more time to unload cars.
The railroads do not appear to be
paying any attention to the law at
all. One company has said it did
not consider the law valid and would
not pay claims under it. 1t is a
known fact that none of the roads
have paid any such. The attorney
! general Of the state has been aware
of the fact that the roads did not
consider the law valid for some time,
but he has taken no action. Probably
because no one has brought suit to
compel payment. People generally
do not realize the meaning of some
| of our recent legislation. Think OF
| the unnecessary expense of such a
| law as the dog law, St. Louis Expo
sition road law, and the raising ct
| officials salaries. which cost the tax
payers thousands of dollars. These
laws were supported by our repre-
| sentative.
| Gentlemen, now is the time to en-
ter your complaint. Do not wait un-
til after the primaries. We are all
! aware of the fact that the primaries
come in a busy time of the season
the time when we can hear the hum
ming of the machine. But close the
throttle for half day, go to the polls
and do your duty as every Americ-
an citizen should do. I am farmer
and have no other business to take
my time besides my small farm in
the township of Clayton. If I am
nominated and elected I can devote
my whole time to the work of legis-
lation. I will work for the interests
of the tax payers.
ask you once more, gentlemen. tC
go to the polls on Tuesday, the 18th
day of September and vote for the
man you think will lwork for your in
terest. Do your duty and do not let
one or two men monopolize things
of public interest. Give another
man chance to REALLY serve you
I heartily ask you for your support
| and if nominated and elected I will
serve you to the best of my knowl-
! edge and ability. Yours sincerely,
| VIM. c. GRIMM
