WILL OPPOSE C. B. MILLER,|
The BiWabik Times Mas CONCLUDED That Ne
Is Not 4 Man Of His Word.

The Biwabik Times, which was a
staunch supporter of Clarence B.
Miller two years ago and which
stuck with the young congressman
even after he commenced to redeem
his campaign pledges by utterly
disregarding them, comes out in it's
last Issue in direct opposition to
Mr.. Miller, Bro. Koen fully and con-
cisely explaining his action as fol
lows:
"Following considerable cores
pondence and after due deliberation
this newspaper has concluded that
Congressman Miller is not and new.
er has been the proper man for the
place that he now occupies.
with the letters of the congress-
man before US, with all the facts
duly considered, it is the reasonable
superstition that he is subject to
some one man, and that man is not
tied or subject to the people.
"This expression is based upon
the very latest action of the con-
gresham, who turned down A. E.
Pfremmer for postmaster of Hib-
bling merely because Mr.. Ptremmer
had made few enemies as publish
er of a newspaper at that point. Fol-
lowing this act The Times editor
wrote to Mr.. Miller expressing his
surprise and displeasure at such a
course. The congressman replied
in long letter of explanation, the
main contention of which was that
the common workmen,: common
people about town did not want Mr.
Pfremmer appointed.
Investigation shows that the deal
whereby the postmaster of Hibbing
was named was pulled off in Billy
| West's Office. Billy West is super
intendent for the steel trust. This
proves that Mr.. Miller has been in
dulging in some pollywoggle, i'm
agining that the people cannot see
| through ms aCtlOns.
ut is not the purpose of the Times
to say much about this matter. Il
does not concern this newspaper ex
cept thus fart supported Mr.. Mil
Ter at the last election. 1t >believe6
in him and continued to do 80 unit
he voted for Cannon for speaker. Il
does 80 no more. 1t believes from
Investigation that if the votes were
were polled Mr.. Pfremmer would b<
given a majority.
$50 believing, and further believ
ing that Mr.. Miller is subject to one
man, The Times feels warranted il
so acting and does hereby withdraw
lts support from the man who viii
be the republican nominee for re-
election. In 80 doing the paper
will treat Mr.. Miller fairly. 1t has
no reason to abuse him. But We
do not believe that he is a man Of
his word, and not being such hi
does not belong to modern day pol
itics.
"All this after much investiga
ton, after due deliberation and af
ter Mr.. Miller has fully laid his case
before the editor"
