CAUCUSES AND
CONVENTIONS
REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES AND
COUNTY CONVENTION
MARCH 3 AND S.

The Republican County Commit
tee met in Duluth Tuesday evening
and arranged for the caucuses to be
held in the several voting precincts
of the county for the purpose OF
electing delegates to the county
convention to be held in Duluth at
the Shrine Auditorium on March D,
At this convention delegates to
the Republican State Convention at
St. Paul will be chosen and also
delegates to the Eighth District
Congressional Convention to be
held in Duluth on March z. The
state convention date is set for
March 8. A county chairman to re-
place VIM. C. Sargent who has pos
itively announced his retirement
from the office will be named at the
county convention and a platform,
adopted and candidates endorsed
for several Offices.
The retirement of Mr.. Sargent
from the head of the county COM
mittee will be a distinct loss to the
organization. He has served faith
fully and his committee selections
have been fair. He served as chair
man several years ago and at the
convention in 1922 was again draft.
ed by the party to lead the battle
in his county through the state and
congressional campaigns.
The hours between 7 and on
March have been selected for the
caucuses at which the delegates are
to be chosen. Ely will be entitled
to two delegates from each precinct
as near as we can figure, making
eight an all So far no one has
made public announcement of their
candidacy. Those chosen at the
caucuses are expected to attend the
county convention in Duluth on the
5th.
For the good of the party it will
be well to get busy and decide on
representative to the county con-
vention. The emoluments are COM
posed of political honors and the
knowledge of a duty done for your
party. The expenses of attendance
at the county convention are borne
by the delegates which in a large
part accounts for the scarcity of
delegate timber.

all around the Ely squad, Poor
refereeing is said to have lost the
game for the locals. The locals
played in game last year in which
this same official presided and he
did even worse this year.
Seventeen fouls were called on
Chisholm while only three were
called on the Ely outfit. Never has
the local team been in basketball
game where there was so much hold
ing, pushing and general fouling
than was experienced when they
played last Monday at Ely. Two
baskets were allowed by the referee
which the Ely team should never
have had. In the first case an Ely
player off the field ran in and made
basket. Another time the refere,
made a toss up right under tn,
Ely goal when the rules call TO
the toss up from the free throw
! line"

CHISHOLM SPORT WRITER
PEEVED OVER ELY GAME

The sport writer on the Chisholm
Miner evidently felt bad because his
high school team lost the game in
this city last week. We saw this
game and must in all fairness state
hat fouls were called because the
team had them coming There was
one however that seemed to get by
just simply because it was not de-
sired to create a scene. This was
the ''fouP antics of the Chisholm
coach on the side lines who seemed
to think that bluffing would win the
game. Referee Cross of Aurora
does what he thinks is fair but his
ideas fail to meet the approval of
the Chisholm team. Listen to their
wall:
1.-THE Ely game was farce from
beginning to end. There was no
question but that the locals played

REMAINS OF LATE
 POPE TOBE MOVED
Will Be Taken to Tomb at St.
 John Lateran
-----

Rome, Oct. 11.-Since the death of Leo XIII, in 1903, reports have periodically appeared that his body would be transported from St. Peters, where it was left temporar- fly, to the tomb provided for it in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. The Messaggero now states that the body will be moved during the night between Oct. 13 and S1.
 The delay in carrying out the will of Pope Leo was due to the grave incidents which occurred on July 13, 1881 upon the occasion of the nov ing of the boy of Plus TX from St. Peters 10 St. Lawrence. At that time an anti-clerical mob had planned to seize the body and throw it into the Tiber. No such incident is anticipated at this time as the feeling of the people and the gov ernment toward the Vatican has en- tirely changed.
 Despite the present attitude to- ward the Vatican, the Messaggcro says that the moving ot Leo's body will occur without solemnity and will he virtually private. The pres ent Pontiff wishes the remains of .Lco to be in the tomb at St. John I.ateran for the occasion of the cele- bration of the sixteenth centenary dedication of the Great Basilica next November.

GOVERNOR ISSUES TRANSFORMATION Calling for November fl as
 ArmiStiCe Day

Hartford, Oct. Ex-Governor Tenn pleton today issued the following Armistice Day proclamation:
 November II, 1918, was day of rejoicing throughout the world. The slaughter and misery of four years of war had come to an end. For three years our allies had fought alone. But at last we awoke to our duty, and American armies began to play decisive part. The arrnis- tice brought us joy, because we had done our duty; because our sacri- fees had not been in vain.
 "1n thankfulness for those who returned, in grateful remembrance of those who did not, I designate Tuesday, November the eleventh next as Armistice Day.
 Let the day be one of rejoicing; that peace came with victory; that our country chose the way of sacri- flee and right rather than the soft paths of safety and dishonor. Let it perpetuate the memory of those brave men who died and of their comrades who were willing to die. Let 1t be dedicated to the relief or the many who lost health and youth and substance in the common cause. Let it be a day of resolve that the nation through the years to come shall continue faithful to their mem ory and to their example.
 Given under my hand and seal or the state at the capitol in Hartford, this eleventh day of October in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine | Hundred and twenty-four and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-ninth."

SCIENTISTS FIND NEW PARASITES
Also Discover New Insects in
 South America

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 11.--sev- as one might expects Is characterized are probably new and several animal parasites which have hitherto been undescribed were encountered by the Hamilton Rice expedition to South America during the present year. &C., cording to a statement by Dr. Richard P. Strong, professor Of tropical medicine at Harvard medi- cal school. made public today at the university.
 Dr. Strong, who arrived in Amer tea week ago, was in charge of the medical activities of the expedi- tion with special reference 10 the diseases which prevail in man and animals in the regions traversed. Dr.. Hamilton Rice IS still in Brazil con- tinuing the geographical phase of the expedition which he organized { for geogra phical and medical re- search.
 ''The medical studies and investi- gations which have been carried out relate particularly to that portion of the Amazon valley extending along each side of and parallel 10 the equa- tor from near the mouth of the Amazon on the east to the River Branoo on the west. region obvi- ously comprising the greater portion of the most tropical parts of Brazil" Dr. Strong said. K the climate, as onemight expect, is characterized particularly by great heat and mois- ture and there are an extraordinari- ly large number of biting insects, many of which transmit disease. The great humidity and continuous high temperature throughout the year render the climate especially debill- iating and enervating to those who reside in it and the population in large areas has been at different times decimated by the infectious diseases which have prevailed. xx'
 Special studies were conducted with respect to the cause and nature of the chronic ulcerative processes of the skin to the tropical spleno- megaly which is so very prevalent, and to the biting insects which pre- vail, as we'll as to the infections which occur in the mammals of the forest, some of whom serve as the intermediate hosts of the parasites
