JAMES GRAY HERE
Notable Democrats Here
This Morning

A special train arrived at

date for secretary of state, T. J.

w. A. HOLGATE, treasurer of St.
Louis county, spent Saturday and
Sunday in this city interviewing
voters in regard to his candidacy.
Mr.. Holgate has opposition on the
Democratic ticket but by those who
are acquainted with the two men
the opposition is conside cred not
very damaging. Since his election
six years ago, Mr.. Holgate has
administered the affairs of the office
i'll such manner as to leave not a
particle of doubt as to his being the
proper man in the proper place.
St. Louis county is the largest and
most important county in the state
and its treasurer should be a man
of ability and honesty, The state
public examiner in his report says
, all of these things of Mr.. Holgate
who not only is a man of in
tegrity and honor but has sur
rounded himself with capable as
s..stants. George Vivian, who is
deputy county treasurer, is by far
the best chief deputy in the court
house and his popularity and
efforts have gone far to make the
Office one of the most successful in
the state. Mr.. Vivian has the
friendship of every patron of the
Office. A combination like Hol-
gate and Vivian is hard to beat.

SOME of the state appointees who
are holding their Office by the grace
of Gov. Eberhart have been parti-
cularly pernicious in their campaign
tactics against the governor. The
most notable instance of the old
saying of biting the hand that
feeds you is that of State Fire
Marshal Edward Peterson who
was about the state making anti
Eberhart campaign speeches while
the governor was up in the Beau
cite country assisting all in his
power the unfortunate victims OF
that disaster. Governor Eberhart
can earn the lasting gratitude OF
many minded citizens by giving
Peterson a good swift kick half
way between his head and feet.
And while he is at it, the same
treatment might be applied to sew
eral others about the state capitol

The following were denied permits
Angela Ballas, Vinca Dargotina,
Jno. Horvat, Eddie Jarvi, Angela
Labernick, Senda Maxi, Frank
Okashich, Emil Saari, Ernest
Seliskar and Frances Zgonz.
On motion duly carried the
action of the committee was ap-
proved and the report ordered filed.
The truant officer reported that
he was unable to get the following
children to attend school, viz Senda
Maxi, Vinca Dargotina and Angela
Labernick.
On motion duly carried the tru-
ant officer was instructed to see the
parents of the above mentioned
children once more and endeavor to
get them to school but
in case of their further refusal to
commence proper legal proceedings
at once to compel their attendance.
Mr.. Thomas offered the following
resolution, Resolved that it is the
| sense OF this board that the pro-
visions of law relating to the duties
of the Truant officer in requiring
truants to attend school, have
proved inadequate to effect the
attendance of Jno. Horvat, at the
public schools of this district and
that said child is disorderly child,
that said truant officer is directed
to make complaint against the child
as is provided by law.
On motion duly carried the re-
solution was adopted.
On motion duly carried meeting
adjourned.

AN experienced teacher says that
pupils who have access to news
papers at home, when compared
with those who do not, are better
readers, better spoilers, better
grammarians, better punctuators,
read more understandingly and
obtain a practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time
it requires others. The newspaper
is decidedly an important factor in
modern life. This will not be dis
puted by anyone who has taken
the trouble to investigate the
matter for himself.-Chisholm
Herald.

SOME are still inclined to believe
that S. w. Gilpin will have hard
time getting elected because he is
no lawyer. Gilpin has studied
law for several years and is prepar-
ed to take the examination and be
admitted to the bar at any time.
Just why the Judge of Probate
should be a lawyer has not as yet
been clearly made apparent.
About 80 per cent of the probate
judgeships in the state are held by
men who are not lawyers and seem to
get along just the same. Common
sense mixed with honor and ability
should qualify man to hold the
place and Gilpin has all of these
and then some. In our opinion
the affairs of Our widows and or
phans will be in for safer hands
with Gilpin than with a whole lot
of lawyers we know of.

TruantS Rounded Up

The school board is making a
specially strong effort to round ND
the truants in the district and this
week caused the arrest of John
Horvat as an incorrigible. It seems
that neither the parents of the boy
or anyone else could keep him
in school. He was taken before
Judge Jury and threatened with a
term at Red Wing. The boy
promised to behave.

A BAD AMENDMENT

OF THE proposed amendments to
the state constitution, the second
on the ballot will save the state
treasury several thousand dollars
without the sacrifice of anything
that is at all essential to the people,
or risking any loss It is not a
measure of great Importance,
simply changing the present
method of publicity of the state
accounts.
The third amendment provides
that the state may go into the hail
and. cyclone insurance business as
to farm crops. Its wisdom is
questionable, though all payments
made under it and all the attendant
expense would come from special
tax on the land insured, those
wishing such insurance listing
their lands with the auditors of the
counties where they are located
We believe the object sought
could be reached more satisfactorily
and more economically by the
farmers themselves, as mutual in
surance is no longer an expert
ment with them, while it might
involve the state in all sorts of
entanglements drought delinquen-
cies, etc.
The fourth should be defeated
overwhelmingly. 1t is of the
woodchuck variety; it looks
nice outside, but is filled with Gus.
sedness. 1t pretends to strengthen
the present reapportionment
provision; instead of this, il
weakens it.
1t changes the obligation and re.
quirement of the legislature tc
make a reapportionment at its
first" session after a census is
taken, and permits it to be made al
any" session. In other words,
it makes an open door of the loop
hole through which the legislature
and more especially the senate,
heretofore has crawled.
Just now, when reapportion-
ment is the issue of paramount
Importance to all Northern Mime
sofa, the voting of this amendment
might well be taken by the legisla-
ture as notice that we do not mean
it; that instead of making the new
apportionment at this first" ses-
sion after the federal census, it
would be just as well to make it at

This amendment should not
have single vote in the northern
two-third of the state. It should
either be marked No." or, what
amounts to the same thing, not
marked at all. Whatever the last
legislature may have meant it to
be, it is bad, and directly opposed
to the long and strenuous campaign
made for reapportionment.

Republican Candidate For
COUNTY TREASURER

In asking the support of the vo-
tiers of St. Louis County for re-

express to you my sincere thanks
for your assistance in tile past, and

bilities of the office have been so
cared for during the time I have
been treasurer, that / may ask your
support at this time.
After thorough examination of
the affairs of this office, Mr.. M. F.
Kahn, Assistant Public Examiner,
in his annual report, just recently
completed, says
The system of accounts in
the county treasurer's Office is
sufficient and complete in every
detail. The books of account
were found posted daily, and
the balance sheet issued prom
pity on the first of each month.
The treasurer gives his con-
slant attention to his duties
and is surrounded by very
efficient Office force
Mr.. Kahn s full report is too large
to publish here in detail but it is
accompanied by letter as follows:
Eve enclose herewith copy
of Mr.. Kain's report of the
accounts of your county for
the period of July 31st 1909 to
June End 1910 which speaks
for itself. We are pleased to
note the excellent condition of
affairs and congratulate you
heartily thereon. -
Signed, A. Schaefer,
State Public Examiner.

careful and faithful attention to the
