If there are any Miller parades
this year, few bankers, corporation
managers, a modicum of pie-counter
freaks and some hired boys will have
to carry the torches.
The Big Proctor Carss.
William L. Carss, of Proctor, has
the right of way and Miller will Oc-
cupy the siding while he goes roll
ing down the main line to Washing
ton. He's big, broad, outstanding
man, around whom the clans are
gathering and to whom both low
lands and highlands are rallying.
Candidate Carss is a locomotive
engineer, popular and influential in
both local and national circles OF the
brotherhood OF EocomUtiTe Ensf-
'neers. AS the marines are the picked
men in Uncle Sans service, so are
the locomotive engineers the picked
men both in the railroad world and
the ranks of organized labor.
The peoples standard bearer is a
red-blooded, 100 per cent American,
possessing sturdy Scotch-English
ancestry, successfully grated on the
body polite of the Land of Liberty.
Born in Iowa, Mr.. Carss went
through the public schools of Des
Moines. He saw something of col
lege halls and studied civil engineer
ing before he settled down at loco
motive engineering. He comes of
professional family, brother being
a civil engineer and his father. 80
years of age, still being active in the
practice Of that profession.
Carss Is Deep Student.
Mr.. Carss has travelled and OBJ
served to advantage. He is deep
and omnivorous reader. His clear,
logical mind is filled with large
fund of useful knowledge.
The Eighth districts next con-
gresham came to the Mesaba range
in 1893. He eventually entered the
service of the D., M. & N. He ranks
just as high among the citizens Of
Dro ~ ho tS, T. U a.
The best guarantee of a man is his
home reputation and standing.
When the sturdy Sons of Toll
came to the conclusion that congress-
man Miller too poorly represented
them, a convention was called. After
calm deliberation, it was decided to
select as a congressional candidate a
man from the people, of the people
and who will stand by the people, all
the people. all the time, so long as
his service endures.
Peoples Unanimous Choice.
William L. Carss was the first, only
and unanimous choice of that con-
vention. The people now are back
ing him with their voices and their
modest means. They will add their
votes on election day.
Candidate Carss is not an expert in
the arts and wiles, of oratory nor
the specious words of lawyer poll
ticians. He is pleasing, convincing
speaker and most interesting con-
versationalist. With bit of expert
ence he will make q convincing
speaker and dangerous opponent In
debate. He has brains and informa-
tion. He is too sincere to use CUFF,
guile and claptrap. In short, he is a
big, two-fisted, outstanding, depend
able specimen of that noblest work
of God-an honest man.
~ Campaign Has Prospered.
The Carss campaign has been pro-
crossing quietly and very effectively
for some weeks. It is accompanied
by confidence and enthusiasm. When
the business men Of Duluth get a
clear understanding OF the capers
that Mr.. Miller has been cutting
down there in congress and across.
seventeen states, they will turn to
Carss and make his election as near
unanimous as is possible in district
with rather widely divergent inter-
ests.
Carss campaign quarters have been
opened St ParIor IL hotel st. Louis.
After strenuous week at relieving
fire sufferers in the territory tribu-
tary to Proctor, the peoples candi-
date will be at headquarters bright
and early next Monday morning.
