this same candidate for governor
several years ago and do not feel
that it will be policy to place him
in a position to not only slap, but
to poke us in the solar plexus with
a blow that will put us down and
out and take our family and the
other families of the range towns
with us.
We don't want a governor for
the farmer alone. We want a
governor that will play fair with
all the interests of the state. Let
Mr.. Lee come out and give us some
assurances that Our mamoth ore,
steel, numbering, milling, railroad
shipping and others interests will
be recognized as an integral part
of what goes to make this state
the richest and best state in the
Union.
In our honest opinion the boys
of the press of the range towns
have been flimfammed by the
Lee press agent and inveigled into
doing something they know moth
ing of.
Look the matter up. We have.

opinion that Congressman Ham,
mond who was recently named as a
candidate for governor by the
Democrats should have remained
in congress and with his humble
efforts upheld President Wilson
instead of monkeying with the
Minnesota governorship to which
position he stands only remote
chance of being elected. The entire
second district, represented by
Hammond feels about the same.
Up to the last election Hammond
was Democratic congressman in a
Republican congress. Now when
he has chance to do so something
big with his own party pulling all
the strings and with the additional
support of a Democratic president,
he up and quits.

THEY'RE going to have big
time up at Ely in July. Plans are
already being made for big home
coming celebration on July 22-25,
at the same time of the fremen's
tournament. A homecoming"
is a great institution. and one that
should be an annual event in every
village and city in the country.
The holiday season of the year
brings many people home, but
the real, true, sincere homecoming
should occur during the summer
and special effort should be made
to make it an event worth while.
Ely will profit by its homecoming
without a doubt. -Deerwood Times.

NUM- mlNNESOlA.
l hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the nomination at
the forthcoming primary election
on Tuesday, June 16, 1914, for the
position of sheriff. / have been a
resident of the County for the past
forty years. / was one of the
original promoters of the Duluth
Paper & Stationery Co., and am
still connected with it, as its
Treasurer, and as its travelling sales
man on the Mesaba and Vermilion
Iron Ranges. In 1892, / was
elected a member of the Board of
County Commissioners, which pos
sission I held for the full term of
four years. During that period 1
brought up the question of building
wagon road to connect Duluth
with the Iron Range Towns and
there was considerable opposition
to the proposition. 1 took the
stand that there should be
through trunk road, starting at
Duluth and running to the North
ern boundary of the County in as
near a direct Northerly route as
possible and from that branch roads
could be built, as the adjacent
country was settled up, and the
interests of the inhabitants re-
yuired, the idea being that the
trunk road should be built in
sections, and extended from time
to time as the County became set
tied. This proposition was finally
adopted and what is now known as
the Miller Trunk Road is the re-
suit. The succeeding Board of
Commissioners to the one of which
1 was a member having compli-
mented me, by giving the new road
my name.
If nominated and elected, sheriff,
1 shall at all times give my whole
personal attention to the duties of
the Office and shall endeavor to
discharge those duties in a manner
consistent with the law and justice;
and where discretion is given me
will exercise reasonable, con-
sistent and humane policy.

ALL things are intended fol
mans use, nothing for his abuse,
says the Los Angeles Times. In
temperance is an indication OF
folly. Greed is a lack of faith in
LIES suficiency. Men may al
ways take freely of all that they
need, but an attempt to take more
than one can use amounts to self
destruction. Sleep is good and
food and drink are good, but when
sleep begins to tyranize over you
and to keep your eyelids heavy all
the bright day, when food be-
gins to eat you and drink begins
to drown you it is time to pause
and look yourself squarely in the
face. Over-indulgence is not so
wicked as it is foolish. The death
of a glutton may not be the vista
ton of an angry god, but it is GER
tainly the strict economy by which
nature preserves the integrity OF
her varied forms. The very laws
that limit us are the laws that pro-
tect us, even from ourselves, and
the stability of those laws guaran-
tees the reward of those who abide
by them.

A NUMBER of our exchanges on
the Mesaba range last week pub
lished two page, six column to
the page, insert giving the keynote
address made by VIM. E. Lee can
didate for governor. The pages
were headed, The Machine or
the People-Which?"
We took time to carefully read
through the pages and outside of
remarks made by Ole Sageng the
Populist senator and the life of Lee
by the Minneapolis Journal, we
failed to see anything in the docu-
ment that might be recommends
ton to elect the subject to the best
position in the best state in the
union.
In the seven columns of views as
expressed by the candidate not one
word was mentioned in regard to
the iron industry, or the lumber
industry, or the steel plant, or any
thing of the other industries of the
state outside the farming industry.
In looking back several years ago
when the people of the range
towns, their homes and schools
were threatened by the ubiquitous
Tonnage Tax" measure, we find
this same VIM. E. Lee lined up
with that Bjorge fellow in his at
tempt to ruin the range towns and
their residents. This has evident
ly been forgotten by the brothers
of the range press but in the note
book of the Miner we find the fol-
lowing entry:
William E. Lee-Came down
from his home town Long Prairie,
to induce the senator from his dis
trict to vote for the tonnage tax
bill. Through the efforts of Lee
the senator did vote for it,
During that eventful scrap
wherein the range towns were on
the point of being wiped from tine
map, the newspapers spent money
and gave whole issues of their
papers in trying to convince the
legislature that the passage of the
measure meant ruination to our
communities. Some even spent
days at time at their own expense
in St. Paul watching the progress
of the battle and lending their
humble efforts to save themselves
and their families.
Some of the same editors are in
the business here at the present
but have evidently forgotten those
stirring times.
1t would naturally be supposed
that had the candidate experienced
a change of heart on the subject,
he would have embodied his senti-
ments into his keynote speech and
thereby made himself a factor in
the race for governor in the range
towns. not only on the Mesaba and
Vernilion but on the Guyana range
and Duluth as well.
The Miner has not forgotten.
We have everything we own in
vested in Ely and a slap at the
community, the county and the
northern end of the state is a dir
ect slap at us, personally.
