ADAMSON TO lead FIGHT
AGAINST TOLL EXEMPTION
Georgia Representative Selected by
Administration to Put
Through Repeal.

Representative Adamson of Georgia,
chairman of the House committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, has been
picked by the administration to lead the
fight for a repeal of the paragraph in
the Panama canal act exempting United
State coastwise ships from tolls through
the Panama canal. The House is full of
stumbling blocks against the repeal of
this paragraph, and it is the duty of
Representative Adamson to turn them
into stepping stones to success.
AS the matter now stands. Represent
ative Adanson has not even his own
committee undivided behind him. How
ever, marvellous changes Of opinion have
occurred, in the democratic party in the
House since March 4. 1913. and there
probably will be more changes before the
Panama canal is opened to the world s
traffic.
Underwood Against Repeal.
When the fight comes. Representative
Adamson will be the central figure on
the House side. Representative Under
wood has told the President he cannot
fall in with this portion of the admin
istration policy, and Representative
Kitchin Of North Carolina, who probably
will be the next democratic leader in the
event Of Representative Underwood
going to the Senate. has also found 1t
impossible to take the Presidents side in
the matter.
The fact that Messrs Underwood and
Kftchin will be negative factors in the
fight will not make Representative
Adamson's task happy one, and 1t is
possible that he will have to rely on

SHERIFF MEINING HELD
mot GUILTY" BY JURY

Sheriff John r. Meining won the
first round in the case, now pending,
wherein he has been charged with
malfeasance in office.
1t took the jury eleven minutes to
arrive at the verdict clearing the
sheriff of the first Of the four charges
brought against him. The charge up
on which he was tried and acquitted
was that he presented a bill for 50 to
the county commissioners for the
board of Phillip st. Marie for the
month of November 1912, when St.
Marie was not at the time an inmate
of the jail.
Meinfng admitted everything that
the prosecution contended except
that there was any fraud or criminal
intent in the collection Of the bill for
st. Marie. He admitted that st.
Marie had been released from the
Jail before his time had expired and
that the bill for board had been pre-
sented to the county board and was
duly paid. The issue for the jury to
decide was whether Meining knowing
ly and fraudently collected this
amount from the board. The jury
rendered the verdict Of not guilty on
the presumption that the transaction
was a mistake.

SCARBOROUGH HAS
REACT|ONARY RECORD
Lined Up With Special Interests.
Against Direct Legislation.
and Other Measures.

Lynn Haines' estimate of Senator T.
M. Pugh, " Reactionary in every
thing is corroborated by that gen.
tleman's record on some of the i'm
portant measures which were up for
consideration by the last legislature.
The Minette-Holmberg bill sought
to complel the telephone companies
to make physical connection, one with
the other, thus permitting subscribers
Of one system to talk with those of
another, by paying reasonable
charge. This would have been of
imme measurable advantage to people liv-
ing in rural districts and where there
is but one telephone system, as well
as to the people in the cities.
This bill passed both houses but the
telephone lobby got busy and the gov
ernor vetoed it. Senator Pugh voted
to sustain the governors veto, and
the grip of the telephone monopoly
cannot be broken until the legisla-
ture meets again.
Pugh voted in favor Of an amend
ment to the Initiative and Referen-
dunn bill providing that petitions
should come from at least one-third
Of the counties of the state. This
amendment was of vital importance
to the union men of the state. It
would make it almost impossible to
initiate labor legislation as the or
ganized workmen are in the TIRES
large cities.
Senator Pugh also voted to sus-
tain the governors" veto Of the Nolan
bill which aimed to give the govern
ing bodies Of cities and villages ths
right to limit the charges, which
public service corporations should re-
ceive for service furnished by them.
These are only few of the in
stances which show that Pugh always
voted with special privilege and
against the peoples interest.
If relief is wanted from the exac-
tons Of the telephone monopoly; If
the cause Of popular government il
to be promoted in the state Of Min
nesota, the voters of the F'ifty-eighth
district should not return T. M. Pugh
to the state senate.

ture stated that E. r., Ribenack
showed himself to be free from any

from the Fifty-eighth legislative
district no mistake will be made in
voting for E. r. Ribenack.

district two of whom are to be elected

Giles having been an official of the
local painters union. and a delegate

firm stand in favor of all measures

c. f. ADAMS AGAINST
WILL OF PEOPLE
Follows the Gang and Votes
With Majority at the CON-
mercial Club.

| Voters in the Fifty seventh legisla-
tive district should be extremely in
| terested to know that Charles e.
| Adams, candidate for state senator
and the opponent Of A. c.. Mcknight,
voted with the majority at the meet
ing of the Commercial club last Mon
day night.
This puts Mr.. Adams squarely on
record against the city owning and
| operating an electric light plant of it's
own, as the vote Of the club was on
| the question as to whether the city
commissioners should accept the con-
tract proposed by the Duluth Edison
company.
Mr.. Mcknight is one Of the leaders
In the fight for public ownership OF
an electric light plant and has fought
consistently for this object ever since
the first shirmish took place mum.
Der of years ago.
The fact that the First ward, gave
such an overwhelming majority for
the bonds in the 1911 election, BODIES
i'll for Mr.. Adams on November 3.
Progressives and believers in NUM-
cipal ownership who reside in the
Fifty-seventh district should have no
trouble in choosing the man they want
to represent them in the state senate
at the coming election.
Mr.. Adams vote at the Commercial
club as we'll as his refusal to take q
positive stand on public questions,
and Mr.. Meningitis unblemished re-
cord in the cause of municipal own
ership and progressivism generally,
clearly indicates that Mcknight is the
man to elect if the people Of that dis
trict want man who will properly
represent their views.

In a clean well played game Sunday
afternoon, the home team took from

champion base ball team of the Milk
river valley the final score being to 1.
The game at the Dodson jubilee be-
tween Glasgow and Chinook was for
the championship of the valley and as
Chinook was the winning team there,
there, there is no question about our
boys now holding the honor. Good
ball was played by both teams and
Pitchers Fox and Navarro were in the
best of condition and the big battle
was mostly between these two men,
Fox succeeding in striking out
eighteen men while Navarro struck
struck out twelve. The receiving end
was ably handled by Callahan and Tol-
lefson. Sensational plays were the
hot liners caught by Gardner and
Tietz, safe hits by Parker and Simon
toms stolen base. The fielding of
both teams was far above the average.
The Malta band under the direction
of l.. ID. Tucker played several selec-
lions that were greatly appreciated
and added new life to the players.
The game was successfully UNI
pired by &. A. Wilmert to the entire
satisfaction OF both teams although a

made arrangements for the building
adjoining the Orpheum and will have
a large doorway cut through and use
it for dancing purposes and for the
large electric piano. The screen will
be placed about two feet back of
where it is now, and by doing this it
will give better picture. The stage
is being enlarged so as to take care of
the added attractions which he expects
to book in this winter, and it is pram-
Used that this will be in readiness for
