MUST HAVE PAPERS TO VOTE.

There seems to be a great deal of
misunderstanding throughout the
city regarding people with first pa
pers voting. Many believe that those
who declare their intention of be-
coming citizens, that is those who
have their first papers, may vote at
the coming election. This is an err
ror and a careful perusal Of the law
will show that only those persons
Of foreign birth who declared their
intentions to become citizens prior
to December l, 1908, will be entitled
to vote without final naturalization
papers until December |, 1912.
Those persons who have taken out
their first papers since December |,
1908, are not allowed to vote this
year at any of the elections, nor at
any of the elections until final papers
are secured. This ruling will pre-
vent many from casting their ballot
this year, who have done so in other
years.

PROPER MOVE BY AN
EVELETH MERCHANT

The Gleason Hardware Co., Eve
leth, have adopted a new system of
doing business, and henceforth will
sell for cash only.
Such system will meet competi-
tion from any mail order house, and
will give every customer a square
deal, as the one who pays is not re-
quired to pay additional prices to
make up for the dead-beat.
The system should be extended: to
every business concern on the iron
ranges and throughout the state of
Minnesota. The high cost of living
to the man who pays his bills will
thereby be reduced, while the man
who does not pay his bills may go
to-Michigan, if he wants to; the
community will be better off without
him.
