TWENTY YEARS AGO
(From THE ELY MINER of the same
date in 1909

Mrs. T. Wakefield died at her home
in this city Wednesday evening of a
complication of diseases after lin
gering illness of several months. Mrs.
Wakefield has been resident of Ely
only about year, joining her hus-
band here from England, but during
that time has made many friends who
are panied to hear of her death. She
was 60 years of age and leaves a
husband, three sons and a daughter
to mourn the loss of wife and mother,
the husband and three children being
present at the time of death.
The board Of equalization Tuesday
raised the assessments on the mines
of the state, with one or two excep-
tions, IL " per cent. This action on
the part of the board is generally ack-
nowledged to be one of the most i'm
portant taken for years. The assess
ed valuation of the mining real estate
in Minnesota was $7,100,000. The
increase is 1897, 900, and the total
$685. 500. The following are the
valuations of mines on this range as
fixed by the board. Chandler,
1923, 100; Minnesota, $240,547; Pho;
neer, $216,273; Savoy,$125,423.
A Fridays dispatch from Cleveland
says that ore charters were made to-
day at IS and 70 from the head of
Lake Superior, and considerable bust
ness was done. One vessel was plac-
ed at Escanaba for 65. Veselmen
claim the Duluth and Ashland rate is
70, but the shippers say that more
business is being done at IS than the
higher rate.

That United States Senator Frank
B. Kellogg is easily the big man of
Minnesota is without dispute and his
speech at st. Cloud on Constitution
day in which he discusses at length
the League of<Nations and Treaty of
Peace, the budget system, the repeal
of war legislation and other Repub-
lican congressional accomplishments
easily stamps him as such. His talk
was most thorough expose of Dem
ocratic fallacies and it's reproduction
in pamphlet form has caused an unu-
sual demand for copies of the same
Minnesota perhaps is the most ably
represented commonwealth in the
United States Senate of any state
in the Union. Senators Kellogg
and Nelson are easily recognized
leaders and the hope is that they will
be continued at Washington. Senator
Kellogg has rendered his speaking
service to the Republican State Cent
raj Committee without stint and re.
quests for him are swapping those
in charge.

party made it's appearance with 49,
313 votes to its credit. The MEM
orable year in Minnesota political
history was 1896. Like the big
Wind, all things political date from
the spectacular appearance of VIM.
Jennings Bryan, and to quote any old
timer, "the Peerless one sure had. the
Minnesota G. o. P. guessing that year
The fight was a bitterly contested
one and when the smoke of battle had
cleared away the best the unwashed
could find was 130,735 votes for their
favorite. William Mckinley, the
Republican presidential candidate had
prevailed by majority of 40,587.
Bryan was again the candidate in
1900 and also in 1908, but with a
decidedly decreased vote in each. In
the first, McKinley's majority was
nearly $4,000 and in the second,
Theodore Roosevelt prevailed by
nearly 10000. Women will have the
ballot this Fall, which means a de-
cidedly icreased vote and likewise
an increased majority for the nation
al Republican ticket. A Harding
majority of 10000 would not be at
all surprising.

Only once in sixty years of state
hood has Minnesota repudiated the
regular Republican national conven-
ton presidential nominee and that
was in 1912 when President Taft,
Woodrow Wilson and Theodore
Roosevelt were the principal contend
ers for it's electoral vote. While
Minnesota did not go democratic,
President Taft, the republican nomi-
nee was not to the liking of the voters
and Theodore Roosevelt was the
choice instead with a record vote of
1856 to 64,334 for President Taft.
Woodrow Wilson who prevailed that
year, participated in the general dis
content to the extent of 108,426
Gopher state votes. The nearest
Minnesota ever came to invading the
Democratic column was in 1915 when
President Wilson with his Kept us
out of War" slogan upset all Gopher
state traditions with record vote of
1854 to 1912 for Hughes, his
Republican rival. Minnesota has
been voting her straight ever since
1850 when Abraham Lincoln was its
presidential choice by a vote of 3d.
069 to 1920 for S. A. Douglas, the
Democratic candidate. Four years
later the Immortal "Abe" was again
Republican candidate but his Mime
sofa majority on this occasion was
only 1858. In the following .two
National elections covering the years
1882, Gen. U. S. Grant was the
Republican choice and he prevailed
by majority Of 1926 in 1868 and
by 20,497 in '72. In 1875, the Green
back party, the parent of practically
all the third party infections that
have since followed, made it's appear
ance with Peter Cooper as its offer
ing. The Greenback ticket, however,
had little effect on the general result,
it polling less than $500 votes. Hayes
and Tilden had the popular call, the
former prevailing by majority of
nearly $4,000. James A. Garfield
was Minnesota's choice in 1880 and
James G. Blaine in 1884, the former
finishing with a majority of 4O,587
and the latter by 41,62O. In each
election the Greenback party was
contender. In 1884, the Prohibition
party made its first bid for support
with St. John as it's choice and found
Minnesota agreeable to the extent of
nearly 5000 votes. Four years later
the dry vote in Minnesota reached the
l 5, 900 mark.
While the Gopher State has stood
solidlyN against Democratic encroach-
ment with the prospect of record
breaker in Republican majority way
this year, the onward march ofsthe G.
o. P. was slightly halted in 1888 and
again in 1892. Grover Cleveland was
the stumbling block and he piled up
the unheard of vote of 1O4,385 in
'88 and 1888 in '92. Ben Harri-
son, the Republican candidate pulled
down the Minnesota electoral vote in
each case, but by reduced majority,
the count giving him 142,492 votes
in '88 and less than 125, 900 votes in
'92. In the latter year the Peoples

in her, or any sense of honor would make
i'll health, real or pretended, the means
of getting around her husband.
One likes TO think of womc" achieving
results in a subtler manner, and using
more diplomacy in dealing with their
husbands In its most elementary form
this consists of wlfe's using some dlscre-
ton in choosing the time, and place, and
conditions in which To make "A request, or
TO impart to her husband some OF the
necessarily unpleasant facts OF daily
domestic existence.
Certainly any woman deserves To be IN
an asylum for the feeble minded who
doesn't know that man who Is tired, end
nerve racked, and hungry, Mt the end OF q
hard DAYS work is as dangerous to handle
rs a sore headed bear, while the same man,
two hours later, after he has been fed, and
soothcd, and rested is SO gentle and domes-
ticated that he viii eatYout OF your hand,
and Jump through the hoop, or do pretty
much everything else you want HIM TO.
One of the things that every woman
knows is that men have ruling passion
for being deferred to- to having their adj
vice asked and having official proclamation
made that they are the Heads of the
House. II YOU will grant n man this empty
honor YOU NAV do with him rs you
choose, and why women so seldom take
the trouble To kowtow TO their lords and
masters, when the reward Is so dlspro-
portionatc TO the effort, is n thing that
always fills me with amusement.
If u woman wants - new car; 1t she
wishes to have the living room done over
in brown, or TO send John off To college, she
can announce that she is gong TO have
him do these things and either get them
after bloody fight with her husband. II
he's the sort of a man who will give IN ut
the last, or not get them at all If he IS the
sort that sticks when he gets ms back up.
Or the woman can say to her husband
My dear, believe you are right IN think
ing we needed a new car. Didn I YOU say
that il was a Humpty Dumpty twenty,
with 1nauve lining. you like? You are such
4 wonderful Judge Of motors and know so
much about machinery. Il wonder It
YOU could take an hour off and help me
decide on the living room decoration.
\ our taste Is so artistic, and Id like you
TO see the browns looked at or, i have
been thinking il over and am sure YOU
have selected the right school for John,
etc
And husband will say. Certainly. Do
rs vou please. for the funny thing Is that
men never notice whether YOU take their
advice mot Nor do they care. Allthey
want is TO have their women folk pay them
the compliment Of asking IT,
All Of which and much more, is what
Mr. George meant when he said that any
woman who was not an idiot found out on
her wedding trip whether II was better to
swear or CRY.
