eral Offices to be voted for at the
coming primary election which will
be held or the 18th OF September.
Four are out for the Republican
nomination for representative in the
state legislature from the Forty
ninth district, two of them being
lawyers and two of them Just COM
mon plain business men. John A.
Healy of Hibbing wants to be re-
turned on his record of the past
two years; D. T. Collins, a we'll
known lawyer Of Hibbing, wants to
go to the legislature because he
thinks he can do the country some
good and be of some benefit to the
people Of his district; s. s. Dahl, a
young lawyer of this city, is DESTROYS
of succeeding Mr.. Healy, and if he
Is successful in being chosen will go
to the legislature with a view to do
ing his best for his district and
especially the range country; Axel
E. Carlson of this city, superintend-
ent of the mason construction work
for the Oliver Iron Mining company,
Is also DESTROYS of gaining seat
in the lower house of the legislature.
Mr.. Carlson was candidate for
county commissioner two years age,
and received large number Of
votes, but not enough to elect him
There will be something doing when
these four candidates get busy hust-
ling votes. It is likely that the vote
of Virginia will be divided between
Mr.. Dahl and Mr.. Carlson, while the
fcrmcr will pull heavily from the
territory around Duluth and the Ve:-
Ei4:cn range. Both Mr.. Healy and
Mr.. Collins have a host of friends
III the Hibbing district and it !s pre-
oitted that neith3r will have mu> h
advantage over the other in the
primaries. 1t IS, Of course, b)t OK
pected that either one of these can
didates can win against Virginia
man.
For the county Offices John w.
Murphy of this city seeks the NOM
ination for sheriff on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Murphy is a pio-
neer resident Of Virginia and the
range, and was the first postmaster
Of Hibbing. He has been a lifelong
Democrat and has always taken an
active part in the politics of the
county. Mr.. Murphy will proba bly,
have no opposition at the primaries
and at the final election will un-
doubtedly receive a big endorsement
at the polls. John r. Meining, the
present incumbent of the sheriff's
office, seeks a denomination on his
past record. He will be opposed by
Steve Pierce, who held the Office Of
chief deputy under Former Sheriff
w. j. Bates. Mr.. Pierce is consid
cred strong with the people and will
give Mr.. Meining a merry chase for
the nomination. It us :(aid that
SANDY" Mcdonald, assistant city
editor of the News Tribune, will be-
come candidate for the nomination
of sheriff on the Republican ticket,
but has not as yet filed for the office.
SANDY" has a large acquaintance
on the range. having at one time
held the positions of editor of The
Virginian of this city and associate
editor Of the Hibbing Daily Tribune.
For County treasurer, George H.
Vivian and Otto Calvert seek the
nomination on the Republican
ticket; NJ. C. Palmer seeks renomi-
nation for register OF deeds, and
Charles Calligan of the town of
Stuntz Is after the same Office. For
county attorney, Warren E. Greene,
assistant to County Attorney John
H. Norton, has filed for the nomina-
ton, while it Is said that Joseph
Austin of Chisholm will oppose him.
Odin Haldin, the present county
auditor, may have opposition in the
person of Charles l.. Rakowsky, VINO
opposed him for the nomination two
years ago. D. M. Mouser of Gilbert
is in the field for the nomination for
clerk of the district court against J.
P. '.hnson, the present clerk, and
who has held berth at the court
house in Duluth for many years.
Thus far no candidate has appeared
in opposition to Judge 8. w. Gilpin
Of the probate court, it being evident
that he is giving such good service
that no one cares to enter the field
against him.
1t is anticipated that the Demo-
Gratis will have a full county ticket
in the field, but thus far no filings
have been made for the Offices other
than that of sheriff.
