GEORGE LOOKS GOOD TO HIM.

James L. George, of Bemidji, who is a
candidate for the position of county
auditor. arrived in town today for the
purpose of meeting the residents of the
Border towns. He is meeting with very
cordial reception and will undoubtedly
secure heavy vote here. MIR. George
is one of the most competent accountants
in the state, and if elected there is
not the least doubt about his making
good. ~. 49,. 49,
An excellent feature of Mr.. Georges
campaign is that he is running on his
merits and makes no effort to belittle his
opponents. River Region.

WHAT BERG MEANS TO US.

1t is with the pride. of patriot
rather than from any personal feel
ings, that the Daily Pioneer speaks
in behalf of Albert L. Berg of
Spooner. who is a candidate ter
the Republican nomination CT
state senator from this district.
We feel so keenly the need of Mr..
Berg as protecting spirit for north
ern Minnesota in general and our
own special district in particular
that this paper is doing all it can for
him.
We are facing questions of great
moment; the future prosperity of
Beltrami and adjoining counties de-
pend largely upon whether our
fight for true representation is won,
and at best it is going to be a hard
fight and it is going to take big men
to win it; men who can hit the line
hard; men who have the courage to
always stand up for US; men who are
inspired by real, and not sham
devotion to our interests, our desires
and our aims.
And we believe the man, who for
three terms splendidly xecuted the
duties of the high office of secre-
tary of state, who has creditably
represented his constituents in the
lower house of the legislature, who
has dedicated two decades of his
life to the welfare of the people and
who has ever been a staunch cham
pion for the rights of northern
Minnesota; We believe such a man.
and only such man, is big enough
to assume the burdens that must
fall upon the unshirking shoulders
of the next senator from the sixty
first district, and such a man we
have in Mr.. Berg.
He stands for the right things
and he has a personality and an
established power what will count
when the legislature assemblies next
January. Physically, a giant of
Noway, he is fired with American
enthusiasm and his enemies, if any
be has. must admit, that every inch
of him is man, and fighting man
at that. .... e {.
With such a candidate standing
for:
Better roads;
Equal representation in the legis.
lature and
Government aid for establishing a
thorough drainage system;
With such candidate standing
squarely behind such a platform we
have chance to send a representa-.
tive to st. Paul who can be depended
upon.
And now is the time to act. Work
for Mr.. Berg with all the grit and
determination and enthusiasm which
you would display in any other effort
whereby you would benefit yourself
and the citizens at large.
q Make the air ring with the name
of Albert Berg; take nothing for
granted. Let your motto eternally
be BOOST FOR BERG" Do this
and you will have right to share
that victory which will thrill US ali

Generally speaking there isn't any
thing of a specially lurid character
going on in the county primary
campaign, but that doesn't include
the county county-sberiff contests.
In this line things are popping.
The first crack came in the form
of letters addressed to the vo:ers by
Chester McKusick, who is seeking
to be reelected county attorney is
opposed for the republican nomi.
nation by former county attorney
Henry Funkley and G. w. Campbell.
Mr.. McKusick ginrers things up
by making bold charges against
Sheriff Hazen, whom he accuses of
having clogged the wheels of his
office at all times, citing specific in
stances of such alleged hostility.
|. Mr.. McKusick also goes so far as
to say that the sheriff is entirely too
friendly with Mr.. Funkley.
Chester also touches up the
sheriff's system of drawing jurymen.
He explains his remarks relative
to the sheriff as being necessary be-
cause, he says, the best of work
can not be done in his Office if the
sheriff refuses to cooperate.
Neither Mr.. Funkley nor Sheriff
Hazen has had an opportunity to
reply to these charges, but Mr..
Funkley is preparing a reply which
will be circulated at once, provid-
ing the presses on which it is be.
ing printed don't melt
Sheriff Hazen will also put out
a defense, contending that the
business of the office of Sheriff has
never been carried on in any bet
ter shape than it has been since he
has been in office. s.,.@-... =

Recently an association was formed
in the Long Branch section with a
full list OF subscribers, including
Messrs NJ. A. Sumeral, r. l.. Holland
and other farmers of that prosperous
section Of the county.
However. there are number of
fine localities not yet in touch by

communities of the county. Take for
instance. the Eden section, Shiloh.
Merna, Dials, Rabun, Friendship.
Hickory Tavern, EXON, Brewerton,
Mount Pleasant-all these localities
are made up of prosperous farmers
and enterprising citizens whose bust

rest of the county could be brought
into closer touch by means of the
rural telephone system. The cost
of establishing a local line is small
and the annual dues are moderate.
