midi lawyer doing so today. Charles

Andrews Takes Stand.
In announcing his candidacy, Mr..
Andrews regrets that a compromise
man was not agreed upon, hut says
that If elected he will be first, last
and all the time for the better de-
velupment of Northern Minnesota.
Hoped for Compromise.
In his statement announcing his
candidacy. Attorney Andrews says:
II have delayed making this an
nouncement until the very last mo-
ment before the last day for filing
in the hopes that a compromise could
be reached whereby some person
could be induced to become a candi-
date who would be acceptable to the
majority of the people of Bemidji
and Beltrami county in order to
avoid any fight over this Office.
Has Aided County
81 have done everything in my
power to bring such state of affairs
about, as believe I state the feeling
of the majority of the people in Koo-
chiching county when say that IL
Bemidji had united in such mat
ter, Koochiching county would not
have a candidate, but it seems that
such a situation is impossible for the
reason that Mr.. Wilson insists upon,
being candidate at all hazards, and
has refused at all times to in any
wuy- eos,ap ro1aatoertiao-.i aasttvr:
fore, feel It is my duty to become an
active candidate fof this office. II
nominated and elected will stand
first, last and all the time for the bet
ter development Of Northern Mime
sofa, and I feel that have done as
much toward the practical develop
ment of these two counties as any
man in the district.
Refers to County Option
II will work for, and favor any
Legislation that will be for the bene-
fit of this district. also will work
for and support county option
bill. 1 do this because believe that
the brewery and liquor interests will
bent every effort to gain control of
the Senate at the coming election. 1t
is a notorious fact that the brewery
and liquor interests care nothing
about the development of Northern
Minnesota, such as good roads, drain
fage, etc. Their only aim is to be
able to ply their trade without moles-
tation. They are trying to cover up
the county option issue In the com
ing campaign by claiming there
is more important legislation that
this district is in need of and for
that reason we should say nothing
about county option. <, T. =,
Asks What Logic
"Under what logic they reason
. that it man is for county option,
, he cannot also be for any legisla-
!, tion that will benefit Northern Min
nesota is beyond my comprehension.
respectfully submit that my record
shows that have done everything
| in my power to boost this district
, and my efforts have been along a
practical line. The old saying,
i "talk is cheap, but action is what
counts ana willing to submit the
: real issue to the people Of this dis
