THE CASE or
sen yANDENB0oM


Now we are beginning to get 1
glimpse OF that coon in the woodpils
that Tom Conlin has been talking a
bout We now learn that IL isn't sc
much the fish hatchery location that
Is troubling the boys along Our south
western and western border as II is the
state senator from this district. We
read In the Ironwood Globe that Sen
Vandenbooh had not visited any coun-
ty In his district outside OF his own
Marquette. has shown no interest In
his constituency in those other coun-
ties, and worst OF all, they charge, al
though he has denied IL, that he has
been working for a FISH hatchery TO
be located in Marquette county. And
for this there is talk OF doing things
10 him politically that will have re-
suit something akin TO the French
knife that, after brief and rapid de-
scent on block has separated the
head from the body OF the condemned
one. That sure has savage sound?
And the blood. ugh! The bloody biood
following the opefationl We hesitate
to proceed. Geo. Newett in Iron Ore
Well. George. II that's all you have
learned about the SUI, ,ect you have
been wasting your time In school. II
Is true that Sen. Vandenboom is being
censured in the west end OF his dis
trict but II is not true that the fish
hatchery was trumped up as a basis
upon which 10 impeach him. The
reason that Sen. yandenboom's name
was injected into this fish hatchery
matter is that ID. III. Campbell, the
representative from Iron county upon
the Upper Peninsula Development
Bureau. made the statement at the first
meeting he attended TO promote this
1ish hatchery location, that. after the
u. +. ID. Bureau had secured the pro-
mise OF two more hatcheries for the
upper peninsula, Sen. VandenDoom i'm
mediately got busy with the powers
at Lansing and virtually secured the
promise OF one of these hatcheries for
Marquette county. Mr. Campbell has
pretty positive information 10 back upI
his statement. Notwithstanding the
fact that Sen Vandenboom has since
denied that he put his finger into the
pie. There is no niger in the wood
pile down here. We are the opin
ion that should reputable candidate
oppose Sen. Vandenboom in the com
ing primary, Iron county will not be
found In the Vandenboom column.
Gogebic county has good reason TO
oppose Sen. vandenboom and the op
position is OF Vandenboom's own brew
ing When a delegation OF Gogebic
men. every one OF whom Will measure
up with the senator from the 3lst
visited Lansing to look after the IN
terests of Gogebic county In the Berg
land township matter, Sen. Vanden-
boom snubbed them. refused 10 give
them a hearing and supported the de
mands of county that was outside
of his district That Is the accusa-
tIon against Yandenboom in Gogebic
and IL isn't OF recent origin. either.
All OF the members OF the delega
lion are very good friends OF ours and
we cannot stand for anyone who would
1reat them as Sen. Vandenboom Us ac-
cused OF doing We would feel just
as strong on the subject II our good
friend Newett was treated in that
manner We stick by our friends and
until Sen. vandenboom clears himself
OF the charge we're again him.
Our Brother Newett refers To the
representation OF Dickinson and Go
gebic counties at Lansing. meaning OF
course the type OF representatives In
the lower house We must remind
him that It IL acts OF the, kind Sen
vandenboom Is accused OF. where
special interests and not the people
have been represented. that brings a
bout such condition. Sen. vanden-
boom's attitude wasn't OF his own vol
ition. OF that everyone Is satisfied.
But, he has made his bed and II he
finds few thorns in Il, why. let him
nut up with ~. that's all
