FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS

M. c. Palmer of Virginia is a
candidatefor reelection as Register
of Deeds of St. Louis county on the
Republican ticket. AS Mr.. Palm
er is the only candidate that will
appeal to the range vote and as his
administrator of the Office has been
such that it has not entered the
mind of any of his political faith
to oppose him, it is not at all prob
able that opposition will develop at
the coming election unless it may
come from the Democratic side.
There is one feature of Mr.. Pal
mer's incumbency of the Office
that will appeal to both parties and
that is, he has paid strict attention
to the affairs of the duties to which

ago and was defeated by only a
few votes. In that campaign Mr..
Norton, his opponent, sought sup
port on the statement that if he
were given a second term, he
would retire and leave the field to
others. Mr.. Adams and his friends
believe he ought now to be held to
this pledge.
Mr.. Adams thanks the voters for
their loyal support two years ago
and asks their favor in the present
campaign. He promises if elected,
to administer the office with fidelity
and impartiality and for the best
interests of St. Louis counry.

A County Attorney who has
Made Good Should
Be Retained

Mr.. Norton is making this
campaign on the proposition that
he has made good. His opponent
is asking for the votes On the plea
that he came within five votes OF
winning last time. He is careful
to CO mccall the fact that he demand
eda recount, and it was then found
that in one precinct in Duluth, !,
twenty-five Norton votes had been
counted for Adams, and ten Nor
ton votes had not been counted at
all. This made difference OF
sixty votes ia Merton's favor. The
recount was never finished, and
no one knows what Norton's maj
0rity actually was.
Mr. Norton's record of trials is
second to n@ne lip Minnesota. Ac-
cording to his promise, he has been
a prosecutor, and not a prosecutor
Old criminals have been tried Wig.
orously and successfully, but first
offenders have been dealt with
mercifully. Young men who
might have become criminals have
been made into good citizens. Mr..
Norton would rather make a man
than a criminal any day in the
week. He now asks the support
of all voters who believe In q faif
and impartial administration OF
this Office. Remember, you are
taking no chances; the man who
has made good in the past will
make good in the future.

S. w. GILPIN

S. w. Gilpin, range candidate
for Judge of Probate, is now the
leading candidate for that office.
Mr.. Gilpin knows how to campaign
and the people of Ely are making
every effort to extend his acquaint-
anceship in Duluth.
Few people know that Mr.. Gil
pin is a self-1nade man. He earn
ed every dollar spent in his educat-
ion. His father died when he was
less than two years old and his

The longer some men stay IN
public office the larger grows their
list of friends. Such is the case
with Vim. ]. Bates, more familiarly
known as Billy" Bates, who
aspired to succeed himself to the
position of sheriff of this, the best
county in the state. The only
fault so far found with Bates is,
he has been there too long" and
on this lame excuse the voters of
the county are asked to turn down
a capable and obliging aficial.
Men in all walks of business
recognize in this a condition that
appeals to them and employees who
have. been faithful are not let out
simply because they have been
there too long.

u. S. G.. McMAHAN

The Tower News has the follow
ing to say regarding County Com
missioner McMahan who is can
didate for reelection. The senti-
ments expressed are unanimously
concurred in by the entire district
and especially in this city where
Mr.. McMahan makes his home.
The News said:
1t is with pleasure that the
News is able to make the an
nouncement of the candidacy for
reelection of our able and efficient
County Commissioner, Grant Nc
Mahan. There is not particle OF
doubt in Our minds or in the minds
OF any of the residents of the fourth
Commissioner district but what
Mr.. McMahan will receive the al.
most solid vote of the district al
the coming primaries as the Re-
publican candidate and this means
a reelection to this important
position by the solid vote of the
district.
Mr.. McMahan, during the four
years of his incunbency has made
the most of his position for the
benefit of the district. When he
took Office his yearly allowance for
road work was pa1try few dollars
that were frittered away III spots.
Since his advent into the office road
work has been Systematically done

l am a candidate for the office of
probate judge. In this I fully re-
a1ize that 1 am asking much as I
believe this to be the highest local
office in the gift of the people.
Few people appreciate it at its true
value either as on honor or as a re-
sponsibility. It does not have the
vexatious trials of other courts, the
spiteful lawsuits between the living
the trial and sentencing of Grimm
ais and the constant exhibition of
the baser side of human nature.
It's duties are to look after the at
fairs of dead men, and of widows,
orphans and insane, and sometimes
to celebrate a marriage. For this
Office the best lawyer and the best
man in the county is none too good
and you cannot place the require
ments too high nor be too exacting
in your demands for faithful ser
vice. You should investigate and
compare your candidates and vote
for the best man regardless of
friendship, party, place, politics
or pull.
AS a sort of platform let me
say:

Offices is undemocratic and un-
American. HERAUs NIT mi"

ing counties only when absolutely
necessary.
60 If elected, I will give care
careful personal attention to the
examination of alleged insane
persons and endeavor to send none
but insane persons to the insane
asylum.
(4) I believe the Range should
have not only its new court hOnse
but an efficient working force in it,
so far as practicable. 1t should
have a first class deputy clerk of
probate there to look after the
Range business. The County
Superintendent of schools should
have his Office there. His field of
operations is entirely outside of
Duluth. The Court Commissioner
should have his Office thefe. Du-
luth does not need him and the
Range does. The Juvenile Court
should be brought closer to the
Range people in some way. To
do this will undoubtedly require
some new legislation, but I will

mother raised and supported the
family from the profits of farm.
Going to school in winter and
working on the farm in summer
were his regular occupations until
he was sixteen years old when he
taught his first country school.
From the day Mr.. Gilpin began to
teach until the present he has earn
ed his own livelihood and complete
ed full course in a normal school
and four years course in uni
versity.
While in the university Mr.. Gil
pin began the study of law and
completed two years of elective
studies in that course. Since grad
uating he has studied law under
two competent attorneys and will
take the next bar examination in
this state.
This self-training has given him
that broad view of life which is
absolutely necessary for public
office; and that same training has
given him the foresight and Judge
ment to see clearly future condit-
ions and to provide proper remedies
for the welfare of the
people. His entire life has been
given to the teaching profession
and to the study of law. This
combination has been the same for
many public men. Giving instruct
ions to young people develops the
faculties, sharpens the wits, and
mou1ds the mind for logical con-
clusions. Look over the list of
men in life and you will be sur
prised to see how how many start
ed in the teaching profession.
Mr. Gilpin has given the people
of this county six of the best years
of his life in organic ing and de-
veloping the best school system in
the state. He has given the people
schools for the education of their
children. He has secured laws
which especially aided the fnanc-
tally weak schools. He has en-
couraged young people in our
home towns to become teachers un-
til now our entire corps of rural
teachers are residents of this
county. He has impr owed the eff
ficiency of the schools under his
charge to such an extent that near
ly fifteen thousand dollars is an
nually appropriated by the state
to the rural school districts of the
county. This is saving of that
many dollars to the tax payers.
We are supporting Mr.. Gilpin
because he is exceptionally well
qualified for the Office of Judge of
probate and because he has made a
good, honest, Efficient and impart-
ial public servant
The people of the range should
stand as unit for Mr.. Gilpin.
They are entitled to this office and
