1.-THE person who wrote the unsigned let

James X Vardaman for the United

The speaker permitted the letter to be
read but would not allow it to get into

other representatives had received anony-

public.
After several character witnesses had
been introduced on the part of the de-
Tense, Senator Anderson announced that
Gov E. F. Noel desired to be heard.
Governor Noel was asked about any
conversation he had with Representative
Cowart about being offered the bride of
judgeship for his vote in the United
States senatorial caucus.
The governor said he was told by for
mer Governor Longino on the morning
of January 10 that Cowart had said that

The right of Robin Cooper for separate
defense was overruled in the opinion of
Justices Shields and Mel on the ground
that one who enters into a difficulty,
where he is not the aggressor, puts him
self under the same responsibility as
the one whose part he essays to take,
and that there Is no ground for reversal.
On this point, however, Chief Justice
Beard, Justices Bell and McAllister dis
scented, and as result comes the reversal
as to Robin Cooper.

Opinion of ritnhush

Memphis, April fs.--Capt G. T. Fitz-
hugh, associate counsel for the prosecu-
ton in the Cooper care. whose speech at
the famous trial attracted widespread at
tention, characterized the pardon of Dun
can B. Cooper as ansoutrage. He said to-
day: ~
The disgraceful haste displayed by the
governor in pardoning d. b. Cooper be-
fore the Ink was hardly dry on the SUI
preme court opinion convicting him of

The Political Result

AS to the result politically in .Tennes-
see of the state supreme courts decision
today in the Cooper case and the pardon
of Col d. B. Cooper by Governor Pat
terson, opinion seems general that the
old factional lines-Patterson and anti
Patterson, the latter representing the
prohibition or statewide element of the
state democracy-ar unchanged. In fact,
they are more taut II that be possible.
The governors friends claim that his ac-
ton has served to cement more closely
than ever his following; that 1T has given
them rallying cry to battle On the
other hand, 1t has embittered to an even
more intense degree the hostility to him
on the part of his political enemies. Car
mack was the leader and idol of the
statewiders. His friends, charging that
the killing was tho outcome of a political
scheme, made 1t the chief issue In bitter
war that has since been relentlessly
waged against Patterson, and the Cooper
case has colored the entire political at
mosphere of Tennessee.
governor and state judiciary are soon
to be elected. The state democratic COM
mittee, dominated by Patterson men, re-
Gently called a blanket primary for June
4 to make nominations. Enemies of Pat
terson freely charged the inclusion of the
judiciary as an attempt to WELD a club
Cooper case under advisement, and every
member of which was a candidate for re-
election.
Matters were complicated by the refusal
of Chief Justice Beard and Justices
Shields and Neil to enter the primary.
They will run independently, and now
that their attitude on the cause cele-
bre" is known, the question is what will
the alignment be? 1t is most complex If
the attitude Of individual members of the
court is to be taken into the analysis.
Meanwhile Patterson, serving his second
term as governor, has not announced his
candidacy for third term. Many Of
his friends are insstently urging him to-
run while equally strong pressure is be-
ing used to induce him to run for United
| States senator against Senator James B.
| Frazier. incidentally, Mr.. Frazier,
candidate to succeed himself, has refused
Ito enter the June primary.
| The statewide faction Is we'll organized
and prepared to fight Patterson wherever
| he lands. But they have not as yet put
| forward a man in the gubernatorial race.
The campaign, when 1t opens, is expected
| to be heated.

ELECTED
Between 5O,O 600 and 90, 900 Plurality for the
Popular Governor.
County Republican State, Tickets Carried
With Good Round Figures.
The election has come and gone.

The election has come and gone.
The vote in Ely was an excep-
tionally light one this year and
the customary before election
arguments and rag-chewing was
not in evidence.
Everybody seemed decided as to
their vote and the run of ballots
cast Tuesday showed that the
majority knew what they were
doing. In the three wards of the
city there were only a few spoilt
ballots, less than one per cent of
the usual number.
Ely should, normally, cast in the
neighborhood of 500 votes and we
believe with a hustle could show
up 600. AS it was only about half
that number were cast.
The silent vote throughout the
state was the factor in the election.
The voter did considerable think
ing and not so much talking. 1t
was generally conceded hat the
Republican ticket would be victor
ious but many were of the opinion
that the county option talk of Can
didate Gray would cut into the
vote but the contrary seemed to be
the case however, and it is estimat-
ed that Eberhart carried the state
by about $1,000 plurality.
All the Republican state candi-
dates followed the head of the
ticket by about the same figures.
A particularly pleasing vote was
that received by Walter J.. Smith
of Eveleth for state treasurer.
The ranges should feel exception
ally we'll treated Elm having secured

everyone knows that he can go
some when he gets started. By
the election of Mr.. Cheadle the
Minnesota senate gains one
Democratic member.
f. r. Ribenack is another Dem
ocrat victorious in St. Louis county
having defeated Ray 7. Lewis for
representative in the 4oth district.
These arc the only two Victories
for the Democrats in this county.
Interest in the returns was great
throughout the county. Large
crowds were up until late Tuesday
evening to get all the news possible.
Returns were received at the Ex-
change Hotel and the Ely Club
rooms.
The various boards in the three
wards here finished their work
shortly after midnight. Following
is the result of the vote in Ely:

Pretty Good

The Chisholm Herald in men
tioning the football game between
the Ely City team and the Monroe
team in that city two weeks ago
had the following to say:
If the crowd present Sunday at
the football game between the
Monroe team and Ely team is any
criterion as to the local popularity
of the game, Chisholm should be
favored with other important con-
tests. The final score was Monroe
%, Ely O. Even the oldest foot
ball critics of Chisholm were
agreeably surprised at the good in
depreciation of the new rules as
evidenced by both teams. The Ely
team was probably outweighed ten
pounds to the man, but played a
plucky game and fought every yard.
The Monroe team seem to have a
good line, with a fast back field.
The interference formed quickly
and sometimes got away too fast
for the man carrying the ball. A
number of forward passes were
used by both teams. The local
eleven had no difficulty in inter
cepting the forward passes tried by
the Ely team, while the local eleven
always made substantial gains
where the forward pass was resort
ed to-. French at fullback showed
She best form of any of the players.
He hit the line hard and low and
was responsible for many good
gains. He was injured early in the
game, but resumed play, was hard
to tackle and down.
The score of % to 0 shows the
relative merits of the teams, and
the superior weight and condition
of the local team wore on their
lighter opponents toward the latter
part of the game, and made pos
sible the large score"

honor which has heretofore been
withheld from the northern part
of the state and St. Louis county
in particular.
The Republican county ticket
went through with a sweep and in
neither case was the contest even
close Meining, Holgate, Gilpin
and Norton did much better than
was expected considering the
heavy work done by the opposing
candidates. The I at the
primaries was increased at the
election Tuesday, contrary to the
belief of the Democrats that sore
headism in the Republican ranks
would prevail and rebound to the
credit of their nominees.
From a distance it looks very
much as if the soreness was shown
in Duluth where the Democratic
candidate for governor and Con-
gress received a slight majority
and the Democrats on the county
ticket were almost forgotten. The
ranges stuck by the candidates
most handsomely.
Congressman C.. B. Miller is re-
elected in the district by a good
round majority of 5000 or more.
The voters clearly and decisively
proved that they had more con6d-
in Mr.. Miller than in the untried
candidate of Democracy. The
only fight made on Mr.. Miller was
not on his fitness for office but be-
cause he did not do the "Bosco"
act and eat 'em alive. The
voters evidently thought that as
Mr.. Miller had been elected to
represent the district he used his

well in Congress a. anyo of them and

than a new member. especially a

be out of place to remark that our

in the National body.

MINING MATTERS

The Chicago ermilion, adj
joining the Rice Bay property is
sinking a shaft and will crosscut
with drifts after a suitable depth
has been attained.
The Chandler mine is moving
along in the even tenor of its way
and hosting about 90 tons of ore a
day in the work of opening up.
Several new residences r being
erected at Section 81 by the men
employed there and the location is
getting to be quite a village. Two
teachers are employed in the
school there who preside over 65
pupils.
The shaft on the Vermilion Iron
Development company has attained
a depth of 40 feet and the indicat-
ion are better every foot. The
company expects to put III an
active winter, a large amount of
supplies and coal having been
taken up the lake for this purpose.
This property is located on Pine
Island in Lake Vermilion.
Their new building contracts
have been let for buildings at
Walsh near the North American
mine to Hegstrum Bros. of Mime
apolis. The contracts are for the
hotel building, a bank and a store
building. The buildings are to be
completed by Jan. L. The First
State Bank of Walsh has applied
for and obtained a charter.
Report has it that the work be-
ing done on the property of the
Irona Mining company in section
S, 62-14 is meeting with the best
of results. Some clean ore was
encountered in one of the drill
holes, IL feet, and the drill is now
in mixed of a fair grade
and improving as depth is attained.
The IL feet of clean ore gone
through assays 90 per cent.
The first annual meeting of the
Minnesota Steel & Iron company
was held Tuesday afternoon at the
Offices of the company in the Sell
wood building Duluth. President
T. J. Walsh represented 90 per
cent of the issued stock, proxies
having been sent him to represent
the stockholders at the meeting.
The old board of directors was

A WOMEN'S MEETING

The federated clubs of the women

ing, March %, at o'clock. Three
prominent speakers have been secur
ed for the occasion, all being men

instructive. They are DR.. J. N. Hurry,
secretary of the State Board of
Health: DR.. Henry Barnard, chief of

is possible that other speakers will
also be secured. The matter of the

of Winchester, who acted as special

Judge Engle did not go on record

that this was wha. he intended to do
and gave the attorneys for Mrs. Mar.

action. This the attorneys did. BY
so doing, Mrs. Marshall may be per.
