RADIO CONCERTS

capacity to be able to receive mes
sages and concerts from every part
of the United States. 1t is said to
be one fthe best equipped receiving
sets in this part of the state.
During the week concerts played al
Atlanta, Ca, points in New York

and other points have been received
At this time of the year there is
much static electricity in the air ano
this causing noise which spoils
much of the concerts, but with win
ter weather coming on this can bt
avoided.

PINNED UNDER
TOURING CAR
ASHLAND FAMILY FIGURE
IN ACCIDENT
Went Over the Bank on Route
112 Near BenOit and Were
Pinned Underneath Their
Car.

A family named Russell, giving
Ashland as their address, figured in
an automobile accident near Benoit
last Sunday night, and it is almost
miracle how the occupants escaped
serious injury and perhaps death.
The Russell car was going in the
direction of Benoit, and after pass
ing the new concrete bridge on that
road an attempt was made to make
the hill on high but in doing so the
engine was "killed' and the car
started backing down the hill. The
brakes refused to hold and as the
car came down it gained speed and
finally rolled over the bank, pinning
the occupants underneath it.
Mr. and Mrs. Russell and another
lady an da number of children were
in the car and they were pinned un-
der the car in such a manner that
they were unable to release them
selves. Seeing a number of boys
walking down the track they shouted
to them and they came over and
rolled the car off the occupants, when
lit was discovered that aside from a
few bruises and cuts the people were
not otherwise injured.
Autoists coming that way soon had
the wreck back on the road again and
! it proceeded on it's way under it's own

GROUSE SEASON

SEASON CLOSED LAST SUN

Hundreds of Hunters Took Ad-
vantage of the Open Season
To Spend a Few Days in the
Woods.

The open season for grouse and
prairie chicken, which opened last
Wednesday morning closed Sunday
evening. During the five days hum
dreds of hunters made journeys to
the woods and fields in Bayfield,
county to try their luck in bringing
home bag of birds and many were
successful.
The birds were said to be fairly
plentiful, especially in the north and
central part of Bayfield, county and
hunters had little difficulty in get
ting the bag limit which was five for
each day.
The only game birds which may
now be hunted is ducks, geese and
brant. The open season for part
ridge and spruce hen opens on

5th WARD VOTE
is QUESTIONED
RETURNS SHOW NO VOTE
FOR LONG
While Many Persons are Willing
to Sign Affidavits to the Eff
feet That They Cast Ballots
For Him.

When the official returns were
made from the 9Th ward of the city
of Washburn on the vote cast fol
office Of Sheriff, James M. Long, can.
didate for the nomination for that
office, was not given a single vote
and when the County Board of Can
vass made their returns like con-
dition was shdwn. The County
Board of Canvass made their returns
from the Statements of the Inspec-
tors of Election, which are now on
file at the office of the County Clerk,
and bear out the unofficial returns
which showed Mr.. Long did not get
a single vote.
Since election there has been more
or less talk over this vote in the 5th
ward, and since then a number of
persons have come forward who are
willing to make affidavit to the
effect that they cast their vote for
Mr.. Long, so that the number now
runs to a dozen or more, and is in
creasing daily, giving rise to the
rumor that Mr.. Long was not given
the votes which were cast for him,
and there is some talk Of the court
being called upon to make recount
of the vote cast in the city Of Wash
burn, as we'll as in other precincts of
the county.
In every other ward in the city of
Washburn, Mr.. Long was given a
number of votes and it did look
strange that he should escape get
ting a single vote in one of the larg-
est wards in the city.
If persons are willing to make
affidavit that they voted for Mr..
Long in this ward, a recount should
be made and he be given the votes
he is entitled to.
Whether the omission was acci-
dental or deliberate could be learned
from a review of the tally sheets as
compared with the ballots.

the splendid school spirit manifested

Ovation in Congress

friends, for the opposition to these
schedules, nevertheless l regard him
as one of the most valuable men in
public life," said Mr.. Fordney. 81
always dread the opposition of Mel
son and l feel secure when l have
his support. He is an independent,
virile, honest legislator who cannot
be sidetracked by any kind of per-
suasion or Influence. The House
paid him tribute such as he de-
serves
Speaker Gillette, floor leader Mon
dell, Chairman Madden of the Com
mittee on Appropriations and many
others expressed strong approval of
the course of Mr.. Nelson in Congress
and keen regret over his defeat for
another nomination.
"Not that Nelson has always been
with me on public questions said Mr..
Mondell. con the contrary he has
often taken stand against what
believed ought to be the policy of this
Government. That, however, does
not lesson my esteem of him. He
has the courage of his convictions and
the manliness to give expression to
what he believes even in the face of
threatened defeat. Another man in
his place would have trimmed or at
tempted to placate the opposition by
making concessions. But / don't
think that Nelson even knows the
of the work 'expediency.' !"
The general opinion of Congress
is that Mr.. Nelson is the biggest man
in the Wisconsin delegation. His
friends declare that he is genuine
ly progressive, but practical. He is
attached to ideas rather than to
leaders and refuses to be tagged,
sealed and delivered. He believes
in a party ticket with an American
label on it and declines to become
the obedient servant of a ticket that
IS the creature of person and not
the products of principle.
HNeason has only been given va
cation of two years. He will come
back. 1t won't take his constitu-
ents long to decover what mistake
they have made" said Congressman

and most constructive friends agri-

of the National Farmers Union. II
am sure somebody must have done
some very successful lying about him
or he would never have been defeat
ed"
Secretary Loomis, of the National
Grange, declared that the retirement
of Nelson from Congress would be a
body blow to real friends of agri-
culture.
81 don't see how man who is
true friend of agriculture can be
labeled an enemy of labor" said
Mr.. Loomis. "The man who is the
enemy of neither is the friend of
neither. 1t is absurd to challenge
mans expressions of friendship
for the toilers on anything Mr.. Mel
son has done since he came to Con-
gress."

THIRTEEN
ARE LUCKY
THAT NUMBER GRANTED
CITIZENSHIP
AT Special Session of the Bay.
field County Circuit Court
Tuesday. Examined by
Gritrney.

There were thirteen lucky persons
to be granted their full citizenship
at a special session of the Circuit
Court held in this city on Tuesday,
Judge Risjord, presiding. The ex-
amining was done by Government
Examiner Griffney of the st. Paul
office.
The following were admitted to
full citizenship:
Erick Albert Gustaf Newman,
Washburn Harry Newman)
Zenon Mackiewicz, Herbster
William Lumsdon, Washburn
John Mocello, Moquah
James Anton Vojacek, Moquah
Matt Margetta, Kelly
Gustav Helmer Bjord, Drummond
Oscar Kanestrom, Washburn
Joseph Moravcik, Keystone
Ignatius Ondrik, Moquah
Frank Dolejs, Eileen
Aune Ellis Anunita, Washburn
John Oscar Merilanen, Bayview
A number of those applying for
citizenship had their applications de-
layed in order to give them time to
post up, while others failed to put
in an appearance. .
Examiner Griffney explained a
new law which went into effect on
September 22nd, this year, to the
effect THAI women must hereafter
file the same kind of petition as
their husbands and must pass the
same kind of an examination. Under
the old ruling the women automa-
tically became citizens and were adj
mitted nthe same petition as their
husband.
Mrs. James Vajacek, who was born
in Chicago, and married to an Alien,
made application for citizenship un-
der the one year plan. She was
said by the Examiner to be the first
women in the United States to make
such an application.
The ruling has been made that
where woman who is an American
citizen, whether born in this country
or not, marries an Alien, she be-
subject Of the country under
which the husband is subject, end
in order to be admitted to citizenship
again, must make application and
await the one year period before be-
ing admitted.
There is some question as to
whether or not this ruling will hold,
for the Constitution of the United
States says any person born in the
United States who remains here un-
til of age and does not swear allegi-
ance to any other country, is q
subject of the u. S.

AUGUST
Defeat at Coronado Keenly Felt
By Swimmer. Feared That
He May Have Come to Some
Harm.

The following news item is taker
from the Los Angeles Evening Ex-

What has become of Tom Blake

Coronado in August, and then disap-
peared?

Blake was member of Fred Cady' s
Los Angeles Athletic Club swimming
team, but since the Coronado meet,
Cady has not seen or heard from
Blake. According Ito his friends, he
appeared deeply chagrined by his
defeat at Coronado, and they fear
that the swimmer may have come to
some harm.
In addition to winning the 10-mile
second to Johnny Weissmuller in a
championship, Blake swan close
number of championship events, and
was regarded as the likely successor
to the worlds swimming champion
ship. After returning from his cas-
term triumphs, however, Blake went
stale" and was badly beaten at the
Coronado races.
Friends Are Worried
His continued absence and silence
has worried his friends in Los An
geles, and any news of his where
abouts will be received with relief.
Blake's parents live in Detroit, Mich,
and the young athelete came to Los
Angeles to live about year ago.
