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

WHITELY'S PLATFORM

TO THE VOTERS OF ST. LOUIS
COUNTY:
I have never done any political
work except for the other fellow,
but am now a candidate for the
office of Probate Judge. In say
ing this I fully realize that I am
as king much, as I believe this to be
the highest local Off in the gift
of: the people. Few people ap-
preciate it at its true value either
sis an honor or as a responsibility.
It does not have the vexatious trials
of other courts, the spiteful law
suits between the living, the trial
and sentencing of criminals, the
granting of divorces and the con-
slant exhibition of the baser side
of human nature. Its duties are
to look after the affairs of dead
men, and of the widows, orphans
and insane, and sometimes to cele-
citrate marriage. For this sacred
Office the best lawyer and the best
man i'll the country is none too
good, and you cannot place the re-
quirem ents too high nor be too ex-
acting jim your demand for faith
full ser vice. You should invest
igate smd compare your candid
ates and vote for the best man re-
CARELESS of friendship, party, place,
politics or pull.
Perso nally, let me say, as mod
estly as I may, that I am a grad
uate of he Law Department of the
Universe ty at Ann Arbor, Mich,
and hav e had Is years of active
practice in all the courts of
this state. and have a clean record
and am a fraid of no man. I have
a large ia mily and a happy home
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1910-08-26
and am proud of it.


AS sort of platform let me say:
ID [ believe in rotation in office
and that life tenure in local offices
is undemocratic and unAmerican.
I'D If elected 1 will stay on the
job and borrow judges from adjoin-
ing counties only when absolutely
necessary.
80 If elected I will give careful
personal attention to the examin-
alton of alleged insane persons and
endeavor to send none but insane
persons to Fergus Falls.
az l believe the Range should
have, not only its new court house
but an efficient working force in it,
so far as practicable. 1t should
have first class deputy clerk of
probate there to look after the
range business. The county Sup
erintendent of School should have
his office there. His field of oper-
atoms is entirely outside of Duluth
The Court Commissioner should
reside there. Duluth does not
need him and the range does. The
Juvenile Court should be brought
closer to the range people in some
way. To do all this will undoubt-
eddy require some new legislation,
but 1 will have no man to out-do me
in good wishes or fairness for the
range people, so far as lies within
my power.
Will you vote for me September
goth: Let me hear from you,

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 conceal the fact that he demand
eda recount, and 1t 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 a difference of
sixty votes in Norton's favor. The
recount was never finished, and
no one knows what Norton's mai
ority actually was.
Mr. Norton's record of trials is
second to none in Minnesota. Ac-
cord1ng 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 man
than criminal any day in the
week, He now asks the support
of all voters who believe In a fair
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.

A Chance
To Furnish the System the Necessary
Fluids to Drive Dyspepsia From

A Trial Package Free.

You should give to your stomach the
chemicals it needs to retOre tone. vigOr
and health to the gastric fluids.
Food contains all these ingredients so
necessary, and when the stomach is in a
normal condition it separates these in
gradients as it should and manufactures
it's own digestive agents, but when it is
sick and sore, filled with acids and al
kalies that irritate everything they
come in contact with. it does not get
at the food as it should and cannot
make its own juices correctly.
Science has proven just what is most
necessary to the stomach to produce
the correct gastric fluids and to make
of digestion a naturally pleasant duty
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are so
made as to give the stomach the high
est chemical properties to aid diges-
tion. These tablets are made up from
pure fruit and vegetable essences, and
this is the formula: HydrastiS. Golden
Seal, LactOse. Nux. Aseptic Pepsin (the
highest digestive known and Jamaica
Ginger. Its preparation peculiarly pre-
serves the full strength of these ingre-
dients. so that they go into the stOm-
ach strong and capable Of digesting
food of any character. Forty thou
sand physicians use and prescribe them.
Ask your doctor his opinion of the
formula above. Every druggist sells
them, price so cents per box, or send
