THE CONSOLIDATED
ELEVATOR COMPANY
Composed of Progressive and
Up-tO.Date Men,

The importance of high class, SUBJ
stantial and reputable financial insti-
tutions in city Is not as widely rec
ognized as it should be. They are
most intimately connected with the
advancement and prosperity of the
community and aid its DEVELOPMENT
and foster legitimate enterprises in
every way.
Our review of the substantial and
progressive concerns Of this city,, we
feel, would be lamentably incomplete
did We not make deserving mention of
the Consolidated Elevator company,
located at 401 Board OF Trade.
This company has grown rapidly
since it's organization and now stands
tegrity and sterling ability Of its
management. They handle millions
of bushels of grain annually and
every order filled with ~promptness
and dispatch. And buyers are always
pleased with the honest and straight
forward principle with which this
company conducts it's business.

ipany are: George Spencer, president:
G. H. Spencer, vice president and
secretary; H. A. Starkey, vice presi-
dent and superintendent; w. H. Will
son, assistant secretary.
These, gentlemen bear most envi-
able regulations for honesty and in
tegrity in the business trade circles Of
this city, and their names rank FORE
most among our most prominent and
public spirited citizens.
The millers and merchants Of the
city of Duluth have good reason to
give this company an even greater
success. A company of this kind adds
materially to success and prosperity
and happiness of our citizens. We
have good reason to consider the Con-
solidated Elevator company a strong
and substantial friend of the wage
earners and we are pleased to place
the name of the concern foremost
among the leading institutions of
our great and growing city.

The record Of William L. Bernard
in the city council commends him to
the thinking citizens of Duluth.
During the three years he has
served as alderman he has consistent
ly been in the front ranks of the pro-
gressives. All forward measures
looking to the advancement of the
city have had his support.
His fight for municipal ownership
established him as man of indie
pendence. He demonstrated that he
could not be bluffed or jockeyed into
siding with selfish. interests. He was
not elected president of the council
when the friends Of municipal own
ership prevailed upon him to become
a candidate for the position, but he
strengthened himself in the estima-
man be his own boss in the face of
opposition. -

the city council is an open book. Look

RIPLEY SEES CRISIS AHEAD
President Of Santa Re Railroad De.
elares That Congress Is Danger
ously Radical.

Chicago.-E. p. Ripley, president or
the Santa Fe railroad, is distrustful of
the country's political future. He has
no downright fear that the United
States is heading for disaster; the
tendency may be checked in time to
prevent catastrophe. There are GER
tain signs which make him hopeful
that the headlong course will be
stopped, but he is far from sure.
The house and the senate. in his
view. are dangerously radical. The
one compromising factor in Washing
ton is that which is relative TO the
railroads. He believes that the Inter
state Railroad Commission is less per-
ilous than it was. say. year ago.
Mr. Ripley returned from California
yesterday and went direct TO his home

Santa Fe is gradually recovering from
an acute attack OF indigestion. which
occurred seven weeks ago in Cali

Il suppose ] have unwittingly &C
quired the reputation OF being a pess-
imist," said Mr.. Ripley. Il am per
fectly conscious OF not agreeing with
the majority Of people who elect leg
islators, but long experience as a rail-
road man and as an observer of poll
teal tendencies impels me to say that
the United States of today. in its gen.
political aspect, that is to say. in its
political trend. is not at all what the
founders of this country intended"
