Walter r. Dacey who as nominee
Tor the county attorneyship. enjoys
the distinction of being the "kid'
candidate Of the bunch, has allowed
no grass to grow under his feet since
ne filed and has everywhere by his
earnest and convincing appeals to the
voters dlssipated any doubt that
might have lain in the public mind
as to his fitness for the position by
reason of his youth or lack of ex-
perlence In his addresses through
the county Mr.. Dacey has effectually
dlspelled all doubt as to his ability
to hold down the Job and has gained
friends and votes wherever he has
appeared. s.I - .s%
He has at no time underestimate
the strength of his opponent, based
on experience in criminal law and
furthered buttressed by long tenure
In office. The fight between the two
contestants forN the county attorney
ship has throughout been conducted
on: lines of mutual respect one for
the other. Mr.. Norton has in Mr.
Dacey an opponent worthy of his
steel whose claim on the office is
not lightly to be reckoned with.

Candidate Gray has challenged his
Republican opponent to state where
he stands on the initiative and refer
endum. r., =. +
: Yes, by all means, governor, let
us know where you stand on these
vital points. Are you with the
masses in favor of these stepping
stones to government by the people
for the people, or are you with the
big interests in their opposition to
putting these instruments of self SAL
walton in the hands Of the victims
of trustified greed? -
The organized workers of the state
are waiting for your answer.
There is at least one county job
which the Republican managers
have given up. for lost and that is
the county treasurership. The: i'm
mense popularity of E. A.. Lindgren
both with the English speaking and
foreign elements of, St. Louis county's
population has given him lead over
his opponent which no machine poll
tics and pork barrel con overcome. Mr..
Lindgren has just returned from
tour of the county and everywhere
was met with assurances of support
from all sorts and conditions of
voters. 49,. ....
The business men know he is COM
petent and the working classes are
convinced of his truthworthiness for
the position. It is Lindgrens in a
walk. de-,
In his campaign literature Thomas
J. McKeon, Democratic candidate for
Judge Of probate, says: "Mr. Gilpin,
his opponent Is not a lawyer, Mr..
McKeon' has nothing to say against
him as d man and good citizen,
but he does say you'd should elect an
experienced lawyer to. the office of
probate Judge Of this great county"
:. That's fair talk and good logic,
too. . ~ -. 4,.-.-. i"
Here's the tribute which the Vir-
ginian, Republican organ, pays tn
Charles Jesmore: S4%.S>
The sentiment 1sgroWing on the
range that Johnnie Meining, Repub-
lican candidate for sheriff, has the
hardest fight of any Of the candi-
dates for county office at the coming
election. His opponent on the Demo-
cratic ticket is Charles Jesmore of
Eveleth, well known in both business
and political circles throughout the
state and county. The office of
sheriff has been eagerly sought by
the Democrats for years and two
years ago Mr.. Jesmore gave the pres
ent incumbent the run of his life.
Before the primaries it was quietly
noised about that the Democrats
would support Meining in order to
defeat Bates realizing that Bates
would be much the stronger candi-
date at the election. They not only
appear to have been successful but
were successful and are now on the
hunt for votes in every part of the
county. The country districts are I'M
for Jesmore and he will
poll tremendous vote in all the range
towns With the large Democratic
vote in Duluth added Do this it looks
AS If Meining's chances Of being
elected were mighty slim. =.
Governor Eberhart said Saturday
night that he stands squarely on
the Republican state platform But
that platform has seven or eight sides
and eight or ten; corners. On which
does he stand Is he on the cor
ner which endorses STawney. or on
that which commends all other con-
gressmen for voting against the
