SIGVERT S. DAHL of this city

SIGVERT S. DAHL of this city,
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for the legislature in the 49th
district, sizes up the political situa
ton to the effect that he will be
the nominee at the primaries next
Tuesday. Mr.. Dahl has made quite
a thorough canvas of the district
and is of the opinion that his OPP
penents will have to go some if ley
defeat him. Mr.. Dahl has quite a
large following in Virginia as we'll
as in other towns of the district.
Healy and Collins of Hibbing are
making a strong effort to win out
and Axel Carlson of this city is also
doing some work to capture the
greatest number of votes. On the
democratic side Ray G.. Sherwood
appears to be in the lead against
Luke Burns. The latter is praoti-
:ally a newcomer on the range,
while Mr.. Sherwood is quite widely
known throughout the district Dy
his long connection with the news
papers of this city and with the
Duluth dailies. But we will know
more about the result after next
Tuesday night, when it is likely thai
there will be some surprises in store
for many of the candidates.

Perverted Taste In Arr.

Nothing is more common than to
hear 1t said OF reputed works of art
that they are very good but difficult
to understand. We are quite used
to such assertions, and yet to say
that q work Of art is good, but in.
comprehensive to the majority Of
men. 10 the same as saying Of some
kind Of food that it is very good. but
that most people cant eat it. The ma
tority OF men may not like rotten
cheese or putrefyfng grouse-dishes
esteemed by people with perverted
tastes: but bread and fruit are only
good when they please the majority
II men. And it is the same with art
Perverted art may not please the ma
;or1ty OF men, but good art always
'leases everyone.-Tolstoi-

Ray G. Sherwood for the democratic
nomination for the legislature, has
covered the district quite thoroughly
in the interests of his candidacy, but
is rather discouraged with the out

most solidly for Sherwood. Of
course it is not to be expected that

heart Of the average man whose
business acumen has precluded him
from ever owning aught of material
value on which to pay taxes always
feels so badly over any proposition

usually feel the worst over these

The Duluth-Edison Electric Company can and
does purchase and manufacture it's electricity fully
80 per cent cheaper than it could be done by the
city operated plant. This is possible because the
Duluth-Edis0n Electric Company has many long

maximum capacity tWo-thirds greater than that of
the plant recommended in their $4,000 report.
Now the cost OF producing electricity, and the con-
