MINNESOTA POLITICS
Thy VANCE CHAPMAN

ably strengthened this week by the
announcement that Gov. Burnquist
had been added to the Generals adj
visory staff. The selection was by
General Wood personally and in adj
mitting his connection his excellency
gave out the following statement:
I'm accepting position on Gen
eral Woods committee, ! wish to
say that | am strongly i'll favor of
Gen. Wood for president. Gen.
Wood called me by telephone from
Chicago and asked me to become a
member of his campaign committee
and | accepted his invitation From
reports and conversations with
people from different portions of
Minnesota, / am firmly convinced
that he is the choice of the Republi-
cans of this state Gen. Wood is the
type of man needed for our country
at this particular time. His record
shows him to be sound and practical.
Business efficiency has been one of
his strongest characteristics Nom
mating him would give the service
men of the, country the recognition
| they deserve"
This means that Gov. Burnquist
will likely take the stump for Gen.
Wood and will be assigned a num-
Der of Eastern speaking dates. Gus
| tat ,Lindquist, secretary. to his eX-
cellency and chairman of the Re
publican state central committee an
nounced himself asa Wood support
er some time ago and has been ac-
tive in the Generals interest ever
since. Another ardent Wood boost
or. I Hocxx-nn &c
nesota is unquestionably for the
Wood candidacy and the only danger
that confronts those who are active
wagon stuff that is sure to follow
those who are planning such must
not figure that they are playing with
amateurs. There are some wise
heads on the Wood staff in Minneso-
ia. The state convention for the
selection of delegates to the nation
al convention for the selection, of
delegates to the national convention
will be called by Chairman Lind
quist some time in March. That
presidential candidates other than
Gen. Wood will be offered for con-
sideration is certain, but the Wood
sentiment now displayed would seem
to preclude any possibility of their
getting over. If there is any fight
it will be solely on the question of
delegates. It is known that the OLD
Guard is planning to recoup some of
its lost political fortunes through
the medium of the March convention,
but if they do it will not be without
a hard fight on the part of the Pro-
gressive element who have carried
the Wood boom to its present ap-
parent secure stage.
| While Gen. Wood has the center

of the stage in Minnesota such must
not be taken as meaning that the
friends and admirers of other Re-
publican presidential candidates have
given up hope. Far from it. Gov.
Lowden of Illinois, native Mime
sotan firmly believes that the Gopher
state is his property and has set out
to capture it. This week Rep.
Elias Nordgren of Sunrise, Chisago,
Gov. Lowden's birthplace appeared
in the Cities and announced that
Chisago would send Lowden del
egation to the convention. He IN
sisted that Minnesota was not for mil
itarism. Talk is strong that State
Auditor Preus leans to Lowden and
has been doing some quiet work in
his behalf, but there is nothing to
indicate his activity in that line. 1t
is known that there are parties in
Minneapolis who would help if they
could, but the strength of the Wood
boom has scared them off. Following
appearance of Rep. Nordgren on the
scene, Chicago hackers of the Hill
nois governor showed up and have
been endeavoring to start things, but
how far. they got is not known.
There is a possibility that Gov. Low
den will stump the state in his own
behalf.

By tonight we of Ely and the country as
we'll will be counted. How many are there of
US? No one will know but the enumerators
and their instructions are to keep this under
their hats until such time as Uncle Sam gives it
out officially. 1t is hardly probable that Ely
will have less people than year ago, but it is
probable that there are many more. Our
birthrate in Ely has been of the 100 per cent in
efficiency crowded schools denote. The
good old Stork roosts right here handy in the
heart of the city and sure has been busy bird.
1t will be some time yet before we shall get the
word of how many noses there are in Ely.

If Dempsey did as stated, he is not so great
a Stacker as some we know of. 1t is said that
he fought and then turned the proceeds of the
fight over to good causes 1t is claimed that
he in this manner contributed 500, 900 to the
war work funds. If this be true he surely did
his part and then more. But, it will be hard
for him to square himself with the bows who
fought coolies over there and slept in the mud

they are applying for citizenship papers They
were towards then, why not now? What kind

is very pleasing to note that they are being
turned down as fast as they show up They are
on record and each of them are known Weed
them out. Fire them out of the country. We
want true Americans here not set of slackers.
We may be at war again. What of them then?

In few weeks now, men will begin work
on the Preparations for that cement highway
from Ely to Duluth. This when done will be
the biggest thing that could come to Ely.
Whether we own car or bike neither, it
will in time benefit each of us. Every new dol
lar brought in over it will eventually get into
our possession. And tens of thousands of these
new dollars will come here over this great high
way. The fame of this cement road to the
Playground of Nation" will spread to all
parts of the United States and thousands of mo-
florists will use it, Outside of our mines, it will
be the biggest asset we will ever have-a veri-
table gold mine for Ely. 1t will mean the open
ing up of this country to the tourist and va
cationist. Each of these upon going home will
advertise it to his fellows. 1t will be growing
asset. Work on clearing the way for the COM
ing cement is now being arranged and in a few
days the dirt is going to fly. We have some
thing big on ahead to look forward to.

In another place in this paper wills be
found a statement by City Assessor James show
ing why the taxes are heavier this year than
last without an increase in valuation of prop
erty in the city Since Mr.. James has had
charge of the office the tax list of the city has
been placed in comprehensive state and val
ues have been equalized in manner that leaves
no doubt in the minds of all who have taken the
trouble to go into the matter that he has done
fine work and earned his salary many times
over. To kick at the assessor is common all
ment and is not confined to Ely alone Tax
dodgers have not had smooth shedding since he
took charge of the assessorship. He is able
and willing to explain matters in connection
with the tax rolls. Before going up in the air
over your tax statement call on the assessor
and see where the fault lies
