RESULT OF The PRIMARIES
Clarence B. Miller of Duluth Defeats j. Adam Bede
for Congressional Nomination in Eighth
District by Heavy Majority.
Nominees for Representatives in the Forty Fifth Leg
slative District are + II. Horton Andrew
Davis and Frank T. White

At this time it is impossible to give
a detailed report of the result of the
primary elections as returns from sew
eral precincts have not yet been re-
ceived, but it is certain that Clarence
B. Miller of Duluth has defeated
J. Adam Bede for the congressional
nomination in the eighth district. Mr..
Miller's plurality over Bede in the city
OF Duluth was 1884, while conserv-
alive estimate gives his majority in
the district at over 5000. Mr..
Miller's nomination was expected, but
not by such a decisive vote. He had
very complete organization and
made a surprisingly strong showing in
places that have been strong Bede
strongholds. Bede evidently lost
ground as result of his personal
attacks on Miller, but his defeat was
certain even before that speech. AS
he covered the district Mr.. Miller
made very favorable impression on
the people and a brilliant congress
sional career is predicted for him.
The only opponent he will have at
the general election is socialist and
of course he will be an easy winner.
Clarence B. Miller is SO years old, is
graduate of the state university and
successful Duluth lawyer. His first
public service was in the legislature
of 1907, where he won a high place,
and was one of the leaders both on the
floor of the house and in committee
work.
Miller's majority in Mile Laos
county is 80. z
James T. McCleary was nominated
in the second district, and now faces
the task of defeating Congressman
Hammond, who retired Mr.. McCleary
from congress two years ago by the
aid of disaffectedz republican votes.
AT the primaries Mr.. McCleary de-
feated Guttersen and the presumptuous

Flowers.

Flowers are among the luxuries o1
life for which steady demand has
been created as civilization has adj
vanced. Our forefathers were content
to cultivate them for a brief season OF
the year to enjoy them while the sum-
mer lasted; but the present generation
demand them the year around. There
is also q growing demand for golden
grain belt beer which is the greatest
home beverage ever known. It is
brewed from the best materials in a
better way than other beers and should
have a place on your home table.

that McCleary's lead over Guttersen
will be $500.
James A. Tawney was renominated
for congress in the first district, G. A.
Davis in the third, Fred G. Stevens in
the fourth, Frank M. Nye in the fifth.
c. A. Lindbergh in the sixth, A. J.
Volstead in the seventh and Halvor
Stevenson IN the ninth. -,
In the forty fifth legislative district
a lively interest was manifested in the
fight for representatives. There were
seven candidates in the field on the re.
publican ticket, and it must be said to
their credit that they all conducted a
clean campaign. From returns so far
received it appears that Mile Laos
county is again left without a repre-.
sentative. Thomas II. Horton OF
Isantl county, and Andrew Davis and
Frank White of Sherburne are without
any doubt renominated. On the pro-
hibltion and public ownership tickets
Rufus P. Morton of Brickton and
Ole E. Tolin of Dalbo had no oppo-
sition.
In Mile Laos county the fight for
the nominations of register of deeds,
clerk of court and judge of probate
was waged necessarily. Frank Gould
ing, Robert King and VIM. Sanford
are declared to be the winners,
while Jos. A. Ross was renominated
for county attorney. Guy Ewing won
easily for superintendent of schools,
his opponent, Lars Ericsson, having
been buried beneath a mountain OF
ballots. Andrew Bryson has carried
the first commissioner district and
T. F. Norton the fifth. Gust j. Ross
had no opposition in the third.

Surprised Their Pastor.

On Wednesday evening the members
OF Emanuel Congregational church
and number of other friends sur
prised Rev. August Lundquist at his
residence. Mr.. Lundquist was at
home reading the paper at the time
and the other members of his family
were absent, when large company OF
ladies entered his presence and greeted
him. They were followed by a num-
Der of men bearing beautiful parlor
rug. E. j. Satterstrom then made a
short address setting forth that the
object of the visit was to present their
pastor with this token of esteem, and
uttered words of encouragement to
both pastor and church members.
Rev. Lundquist responded in a feeling
manner, thanking the people for their
kind remembrance, and Immediately
following refreshments were served to
the company. --

on Saturday noon, when the members
OF the Livonia church, Zimmerman,

Views on Modern Education.

The following views by educators Of
note are worthy of perusa1 and con-
sideration:
Woodrow Wilson, president of the
Princeton university-"The children
OF the last few decades have not been
educated. With all our educating we
have instructed nobody, and with all
our instructing we have educated no.

of reckless experiments upon the
youths and maidens of this country,
instead of educating Them"

of education of the state of New York

tary course in country where educa-
tion is a passion, something is the

Elmer E. Brown, United States COM
missioner of education-"The present
trend of educational discussion is
clearly in the direction OF vocational
training. This is remarkable when
one recalls the reticence of school
men as regards such training, down to
very recent years, and even the in.

W. W. Erwin Dead.

". ". Erwin, the famous Minnesota
criminal lawyer, died at Mama,
Florida, on September Is. This
ends the career of one of the most
picturesque professional and political
figures that ever moved in the lime
light of st. Paul or Minnesota.
"Bill'' Erwin-nobody ever thought
of calling him anything else-was,
primarily, the greatest criminal law
yer. the northwest ever knew. Second
ly he was an orator equaled in Mime
sofa by none, perhaps, except Ignatius
Donnelly. Thirdly, he was a poll

of hue as the garment of Joseph.

backbone of the party who would
at once desert its ranks should
such an alliance be made. The
Journal evidently judges the
country at large by the situation
in the cities where the saloon is a
dictatorial political element, but
the great strength of the party
is in the rural communities and
they are almost universally OPP
posed to the liquor traffic and its
attendant evils. Contrary to
the theory of the Journal, there
is little doubt but that the first
one of the great political parties
that has the moral courage TO
array itself squarely against the
open saloon and the liquor traffic
in general, be it Republican or
Democrat, will place itself in a
position to win substantial vic
tories.

A Village Power.

A Columbus firm had an account
against a man in a small country town
in Ohio, and after Intellectual attempts
to collect determined to do something
radical. So they wrote a letter to
the postmaster of the town and asked
information concerning the merchant;
what his reputation was, whether he
paid his bills and what kind of man
he was generally, and said If he was
no good to give the bill, which they
inclosed, to the justice Of the peace
for collection. The answer they got
from the postmaster took their breath
away. It read something like this:
Gentlemen: | am the John Smith
about whom you are seeking informa-
ton. | am also John Smith, post
master, and | am John Smith, justice
Of the peace. Yours very truly,

Erroneous Argument

Speaking Of the result of the
Maine election, the Detroit Jour
nal says;
"Involuntarily. unconsciously,
the Republican party has become
affiliated, if not allied, with re
form factions and individuals
who are held to be responsible
for laws that are construed to be
narrow, intolerant and offensive.
However unmerited, the Repub
lican party has been weakened
by this influence, to what extent
Maine has demonstrated.
On the other hand, the Demo.
cratic party is taking full advan
tase Of this situation in many
states. While not openly ally
ing itself with the liquor inter-
ests, the Democratic party is en-.
couraging the disaffection and
striving to focus it and organize
it against the Republican party
at the polls. The result is that
it is dissipating the strength and
scattering the vote Of the Repub
lican party, while Republican
voters are unaware to what eX-
tent they are imperiling their
national party and their presi.
Dental candidate.
The vote in Maine should de-
monstrate to the Republican par
ty the need of closing up its
ranks and taking cognizance Of
huge and most formidable body
of public sentiment demanding
that which the American citizen
has been demanding constantly
since 1776, large measure of
personal liberty. .
Translated into plain English
the meaning Of the above extract
is that in order to maintain it's
supremacy the Republican party,
under the deceptive claim of
"personal liberty" should openly
ally itself with the saloon ele-
ment. The Journal is "away
off, in this matter. Should the
party adopt the Journals advice
the day of its supremacy and
usefulness would speedily come
to an inglorious end. There are

Telephone Full of Germs.

There is a movement among health
authorities TO do something to arouse
the public to the danger from the tele-
phone, the disk being a collector of
germs to some extent. Telephones
should be washed with soap and water
and kept as clean as possible. good
disinfectant also being necessary The
telephone companies should keep pub
lie instruments and the booths in a
clean condition. 1t is suggested that
the telephone be not held to the mouth,
but against the breast when talking
and another precaution is to place
paper or linen over the transmitter.
