Well Known Superior Man
Groomed at Milwaukee for
Bull Moose Candidate.

Martin Pattison, the we'll known
Superior mining man who has large
business interests in northern Minne-

name was revealed as the lightly can

attended the state dinner of the Mil
Waukee Progressive club in that city
last Friday. =:
DR.. A.. S. Andrews, Bull Moose
declares that Mr.. Pattison is willing
to make the run. DR.. Andrews showed
his hand in Milwaukee when he de-
clared that Mr.. Pattjson is antagonis-

of Superior.
Rap for Lenroot.
I'VE don't think much of Lenroot
at all up our way" said DR.. Andrews.
His course in Washington hasn't
pleased U.s. He announced that he was
going to support the Democrats. yet
when taken to- task for his declara-
ton he back-tracked and made it ap-
pear that he would support the De-
mocrats only as to progressive leg
islation.' His position on the tariff
Is unsatisfactory. Personally, do
not believe in as much free trade as
is given by the Underwood bill. It
seems to me that some middle ground
can be reached. But we cannot ap-
prove of Lenroots course
Mr.. Pattison, DR.. Andrews said, was
born in Canada. He came to Wiscon-
sin, a young man, In 1879, locating in
Superior. where he engaged in the
lumber business. Having had some
experience in mining, he was struck
by the possibilities in Minnesota, SO
in 1882 he sold out his lumber inter-

ors resulted in his locating two rich
mines, from which he draws large
royalties.

He has invested in property in Su-

LOCAL STAGE HANDS
CLEAN UP SUPERIOR
.
Hot Ball Game Between Twin
Ports Theatrical Mechanics.
Victory for Duluth.

What the Duluth stage hands did
not do to the Superior bunch Of seem
cry pushers at ball game pulled off
in Superior Wednesday morning is
not worth writing about. The Duluth
contingent vertically mopped the
earth with the Superior lads.
The annual ball game between the
Superior and Duluth stage hands had
been scheduled to take place on Fri
day last, but the untimely appearance
of the theater troupe at the Lyceum
theater caused postponement of the
game until Wednesday mornig.
At 10 o'clock on Wednesday the
most enthusiastic bunch of fans that
ever assembled on the velvety green
witnessed the lineup between the Du-
luth and Superior teams of stage
hands. When the game closed the
score was II to IS in favor of Duluth.
The following was the lineup of the
Duluth organizations:
Duluth Lineup.
Max Coburn, pitcher; Willie Jones,
catcher; Curlie Robinson, first base;
It'd Shannon, second base; Algernon
Smith, third base; Spike Kelley, short
stop; John De Girt, right field; Rusty
Moran, left field; slugger Sullivan,
center field. The Duluth boys had in
addition three good men on the
benches to be called in case of acct
dent to the others or their failure to
make good. Fortunately, the substi-
tutes were not called upon in either
case.
Accompanying the Duluth stage
hands team were number of fans
many of whom are members of the
Third Regiment banl. They were led
by Jens Flaaten, director of the Ly-
ceum orchestra; "Baldy' Kretschmar.
who forgot his clarionet, and
"Knockey' Weismeller, the little Ger
man drummer boy who manipulates a
score of instruments before the foot
lights of the Lyceum.
The Duluth rooters lost their voice
while on the booster trip last week to
western Minnesota and North Dako-
ia, and as a substitute they carried
with them to Superior a bunch of
COW bells, which they used to profit
able advantage.
Penalty for Game.
AS a penalty for losing the game,
the Superior stage hands furnished
boxes to the Duluth boys for a per-
Torrance at the Broadway What
! makes the victory worth while to
the Duluth boys is fact that the
Superior bunch practiced for three
| weeks to get in trim for Wednesday,
game, and no later than Tuesday eve
ming were seen practicing on vacant
lot back of the Grand Opera house
The Duluth boys had but one hours
preliminary practice. Had they taken
the same amount Of time for practic.
ing that the Superior boys did, II
would have required an adding ma.
chine to total the score.
| However, the Superior boys were
good losers and as game as men are
made. After the game was over
they royalty entertained the Duluth
contingent and received the assur-
ance that another game would bt
played in a short time, to even up the
score.

INSIDE WIRE men
MAY GET 81 SCALE
Negotiations Between Electrical
Contractors and Union Prom
Use Happy Settlement.

r. c.. Floyd, representing District
Council, No. 6, second district Of the
Reid faction of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, is
in Duluth attempting to negotiate a
clans for the inside wiremen en-
ployed in this city.
Several conferences have been held,
and it is believed that trade agree
ment will be made by and between
electrical contractors and the inside
wiremen of local union, No. 81.
The union asks for wage scale
Of 81 a day, the eight-hour day, a
half holiday on Saturdays during
June, July and August, the union shop
and the regulation Of certain matters
affecting the trade, over which there
have been previous disagreements.
It is understood that the contract
ing electricians are perfectly willing
to enter into a union shop agreement
with the union, provided the union
will not permit it's members to work
for contractors who do not sign the
agreement; that is, they want the
men to work only in union shops. and
none Of them shall work in non-union
shops. .
The contracting electricians are de-
sirous Of killing off a lot of contract
work that is being done by journey
men who have no shops and whose
only profit in a job :, is their daily
wage. This competition has had a
fearful effect upon the . electrical
trade in Duluth: It is believed a
union shop agreement will remedy
the condition considerably.

han at the present time is a delegate
