The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-11-02

O. II. Griggs and Mich. Boylan.
Both men belong to Virginia. MIR.
Griggs is doing Red Cross work IN
France and the senatorship is con-
sidered necessary reward by his
friends for that service.
For the house Of representatives
in the Sixty-frst district, there are
John H. Gill and John 7. Murphy,
opposed by E. j. Larsen and Peter
Schaefer, the latter an Ely editor.
When it comes to county candi-
dates, Treasurer Vivian, Register
of Deeds Calligan, Judge of Pro.
bate Gilpin, County School Su-
perintendent Young, District
Judges Dancer and Freeman have
no opponents, thanks to the Era
of Good Feeling, or some other
condition, in the kindly old
county.
The two real fights are between
Meining and Magic for sheriff,
and Bergen and Halden for audi
tor. For once in his life, Halden
is up against the real things and
is doomed to defeat, as his wor-
ried face plainly proves.
There are five candidates for
county surveyor. Major Thomas
F. McGilvray seems to be the IA
vorite and his friends sincerely
trust that a multiplicity of can
didates will not hazard his hand
when he draws the final cards on
election day.
Andrew Anderson, the present
incumbent, who never has survey
ed anything but his pay-check
while he has been in office, has
the gall and bad taste to stand for
reelection. Charles Krelwitz, a
pioneer and practicing engineer is
another candidate. Edward Nc
Cormick and Roy j. Rich are other
candidates. Who Mccormick real
ly is, the Rip-saw does not know.
Rich is an assistant road engineer
under Acton and his candidacy is
credited with having something to
do to help along Halden's plots
and schemes.
For country commissioner, T. H.
Little is opposed by G. F. Naugh-
ton in the Second district. Up in
the Sixth district, Charles Pen
tilla is opposed by George Harvey.
Old John Barleycorn, also, is a
candidate for Punishment from
the state of Minnesota. A cross
opposite the word eyes" on a
pink ballot will help send him
packing.

Isn't it about time that this
foolishness of forbidding public
gatherings on account of an al
legged "epidemic'' of influenza
was corrected? Isn't it about
time that Duluth became safe and
sane and less given to hysteriaq
Public gatherings are forbidden
and at the same time there are
gatherings of the public in the
street cars, where they are famed
in like sardines, at the Armory
and in a thousand and one other
places. Let's forget it, and try
to be sensible just for once

MISSES MENTAL MEDICINE.

For some years, former state
senator George r.. Laybourn has
resided in San Diego, California.
A few months ago he went to
Carlsbad, Texas, in the welfare of
some clients who are interested in
the oil business. Expecting to be
there but a few weeks, Sen. Lay
bourn, who once upon a time was
decorated with one of Halden's
deadly Double Crosses, has been
detained, therefore hungers for
some northern brain food. He

HAS POWERFUL PULL,

What kind of influence has the
Michigan Street Hog that it is able
to seal the mouths and paralyze
the arms of public officials from
municipal to federal? Evidence
OF Hogiteering would seem to be
awful easy to get. Our mayor
made a terrible roar about the

WORD FROM ALASKA.

Martin Moe is widely known on
the Mesaba range and in Duluth
as a most successful diamond drill

Mr.. Moe took very profitable
position with a Seattle firm. He

STEAMER ON ROCKS
ALL ON BOARD LOST
RED CROSS LINER WITH 140 PER.
SONS ABOARD LOST DUR
ING BLIZZARD,
Supposed That Captain Misjud0ed His
Position After Ail-Nioht Battle
With Storm and Drove Vessel
Hard Upon the Rocks

st. John, N. F.-When the crack
Red Cross liner FlOrizel, bound from
st. Johns for New York, by way of
Halifax, with 14O persons aboard, in
cluding seventy-eight passengers, piled
up on the lodges near Cape Race DUR
ing blizzard on Sunday, it is be-
lieved that all on board were lost.
Included among the passengers were
twelve women and four children.
Among the first cabin passengers were
John Shannon Mum, managing di-
rector of the firm Of Bowring Brothers,
Ltd, owners of the liner, and his B
year-old daughter, Betty. They were
going to New York to meet Mrs. Mum
and Sir Edgar Bowrirg, one of the
owners Of the line, for a visit of two
months in Florida.
The ship was in command of Captain
w. j. Martin, one of the foremost skip
pers In the Newfoundland trade. He
took the Florizel out of st. Johns Sat-
urday night and almost Immediately
ran into terrific blizzard with all
the accomplishments of binding snow
and a heavy gale reaching at times to
hurricane force.
1t Is supposed that the captain mis-
Judged his position after driving the
ship through the night against the
storm and that wind and tides had set
him back more than he calculated, so
that when he swung to the westward,
thinking he had cleared Cape Race, he
was brought up hard on the rocks His
reckoning had been off by approxi-
mately twenty miles, an occurrence by
no means infrequent during blizzards
In these waters.
The Florizel piled up on a ledge two
miles from Broad Cove, north OF Cape
Race at point sparsely populated and
with no life-saving apparatus avail
able, even If 1t had been possible to
use it,
The Florizel sailed from here at s
O'Clock Saturday night with large
number Of passengers and cargo
which included 1O,5OO barrels of dry
