CURTIS N. JOHNSON
SPOKE LAST NIGHT

The Washington Auditorium was
comfortably filled last evening to listen
to Hon. Curtis M. Johnson make an
address in the interests of Herbert
Hoover for President. The hall was
almost filled before the band arrived
and with the band came a large crowd.
The band entertained the crowd with
selections until the speaker and COM
mittee arrived on the stage when to
the "Star Spangled Banner" the meet
was opened.
E. G. Jones acted as chairman. A
piano solo by Miss Irene Thomas and
vocal solo by Mrs. B. o. Strachan
opened the meeting. Both were re-
ceived with applause. Mr.. H. N Suth-
erland accompanied Mrs Strachan at
the piano. Chairman Jones with brief
remarks introduced Hon. Curtis M.
Johnson, the speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Johnson is speaker of the high
er class and for an hour told of the
accomplishments of Herbert Hoover.
The speaker called attention to the
appeal of the Democratic administra-
ton during the war which Mr.. Hoover
answered No task was to great for
him at that time and since. He told
how the party tried to get Mr.. Hoover
to become the candidate for president
under their banner. He followed
through with the accomplishments of
the Republican candidate since the war
as secretary of the U. S Chamber
of Commerce in which he ironed out
many completing problems to the sat-
iSfaction of all concerned. He stated
that the candidate was prepared for
any emergency and cited the work
done by him in the Mississippi flood
catastrophe. Mr.. Johnson brought out
a dozen or more reasons why Herbert
Hoover would make good president
and should be elected by both the Re-
publican party whose candidate he is
and the Democratic party for whom ne
has done so much. He characterized
Mr.. Hoover as Americas busiest man
and stated that when there was any
thing to do the already busy man
would be selected to do it. Mr. john
son also spoke of the Republican ticket
for congress and senate. and asked his
hearers to vote for their nominees for
these offices to back up the presiden-
tial candidate.
This will be the last speaker on the
list of the Hoover Club The radio

EXPLAINS MOVE FOR
A BORDER RESERVE

Ernest @. Operholtzer, was in the
city Monday and in the afternoon met
with members of the Ely Commercial
Club in The Legion Rooms at the
Community Center and told of the
fight being waged by the Superior
Quitico Council to keep this section
from the deSpoiling hands of the in
UereSts seeking to convert the boundary
waters into a series of dams and reSer-
voirs for power purposes with the gov
ernments paying the cost and with the
benefits to accrue to private interests
The visit of Mr.. Oberholtzer was
sudden and no large number of the
members of the Commercial Club could
be reached. However a fair crowd was
present and listened to his talk on the
subject after which he answered queS-
tions put to him.
He stated that it was not the inten-
ton OF the Council to recommend a
park Of the section but to work on
the lines laid down in the ShipStead-
Newton bill now before Congress to re-
move the lands and boundary waters
from exploitation and close it to fur
ther entry. The bill is aimed at the
Backus dam proposals.
His idea in coming to Ely was to
secure the sentiment of the people on
the move. 1t was the consensus of
opinion that recreation and industry
should go hand in hand and that tim
Der on the area should be farmed and
not mined. Also, that park was not
desired and that the method of ad-
ministration as at present followed un-
der the Department of Agriculture and
the Superior National Forest officials
was satisfactory.
The park idea would remove the vast
territory from industrial pursuits. I'm
der the present plan timber can be
cut on the sustained yield basis at the
same time recreation is fostered The

Statements made by such men as Mr..

will not be necessary to make it here.

The spirited presidential campaign
is drawing to close and before the
next issue of the Miner appears all
will be settled and either Herbert Hoo
yer or AL Smith will be president.
While the campaign has been heated

friends and neighbors, even among
families, has developed, it is to be
hoped that after the affair is settled all
will be satisfied and that the heat en-
gendered by the campaign will be for

A DEMOCRATIC ESTIMATE
OF HOOVER.

During the Wilson administration
Walter H. Page was American Ambas-
sador at the Court of ST. James. 1t
is interesting to know what this
prominent Democrat wrote to PreSi-
dent Wilson regarding Hoover and his
work.
The following will be found in

December 80, 1916. Written not for
the sake Of the gentleman mentioned
but for possible help to the President
and the service:
HOOVER: MIR. Herbert C. Hoover,
Chairman of the Commission for Re-
lief in Belgium, would if opportunity
should offer, make useful officer in
the State Department. He is probably
the only man living, who has privately
without holding office negotiated un-
derstandings with the British, French,
Dutch and Belgian Governments. He
personally knows and has had direct
dealings with these governments and
his transactions with them have in
voIved several hundred millions dol
lars. He is a man of very considerable
fortune-less than when the work be-
gan, for this Relief Work has cost him
much. He was approached on behalf
of the British Government with the
suggestion that if he would become a
British subject the government would
be pleased to give him an important
executive post and with the hint that
If he succeeded title might await
him. His answer was: 81 will do what

be damned If I give up my American
citizenship. Not on your life!" Within

WHY MINERS HEAD IS FOR
HOOVER.
Communicated

(COmmunlcaleQ.)
Minneapolis, Oct. rs, 1928.
To the Editor:
One hears many attempts to depre-
ciate the reasons assigned by Presi-
dent John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers of An erica for supporting
Herbert Hoover, by attacking the III
tegrity Of MIR. Lewis.
As one who has always been a trade
union man let me say that American
labor has no more able and loyal lead
er than Mr.. Lewis. He IS not a new
arrival in labor circles. He has more
than 20 years of prominent service to
miners behind him. And it seems
strange to me that members OF allied
organizations will pass on this char
acter assault without more than here
say evidence. There is no real eVi-
dence.
And I think I can put my finger
on the vicious source. 1t originates In
the fertile brains Of that Communist
group which has been trying for years
while great emergency faced the
American minerS) to capture control
OF the United Mine Workers and by so
doing get American industry by the
throat as was attempted in England
in 1926,-With larger results for them
there than here because American
miners have had more able leader.
The United States Mine Workers has
expelled some $4,000 members in the
last three years for Communist affili-
alton.
Naturally the Reds call Lewis any
thing and everything reactionary, cor
rupt, tool Of the bosses, faker, etc.,
because he is not Communist But
why should workmen in the Twin
Cities retail this stuff for them? Par
ticularly when Lewis gives strong rea-
sons why he is for Hoover?
Mr.. Lewis says he thinks rigid re-
striction of immigration important.
Why not take this as a serious rea-
son since new immigrants tend to crowd
into the already oVercrowded mining
industry? I can see no reason why
Lewis should think Smiths stand for
more immigrants from southern Eur
ope would be better for our miners.
Again Lewis is impressed by the need
of adequate protection in which Hoo
yer also is thorough believer. Lewis
knows the differences in mine wages
here and abroad and he knows that
coal makes good ballast for ships re-
LuIIuIlS largely SAlpCy. WOu1o lac VIC
a more loyal leader if he diSregarded
the possibilities of coal Importation
and checks to other industries by DEM
ocratic competitive tarifs?"
Again LeWis'S men work in a depreSs-
ed industry and he says we need a
new industrial craftsmanship, presi-
dent who thoroughly understands gen.
eral industrial problems. He wants to
see clinched certain new ideas such
as that of good wages being good for
business, higher wages for higher pro-
ductivity. Is Smiths business exper-
fence so much greater than Hoover'S
that Lewis could not honestly see Hoo
yer as the better man for this adj
vance work?
Lewis may possibly be wrong in his
choice, but an able conscientious lead
er of his type has a way Of being
right more often than those so quick
to assign unworthy motives.
Very sincerely yours,
E. j. BAXTER.
President, Republican Union Labor
League.

RECALLING THAT THRILLING
CRY LA GUERRE EST FINI!'

Nearly everybody remembers that
November night ten years ago when
the thrilling cry la Guerre est Fin1!'
was raised in France, to spread
throughout the world with its glad
message 1.-THE war is over! The war is
over!"
But how many of us remember now
the act which brought about the mad
scenes of rejoicing which followed
the signing of the Armistice. That act,
which took place at an obscure town in
France, ranks with the most historic
events in the memory of mankind.
In this weeks issue of The Miner Is
an illustrated feature article which
tells about the signing of the ARMS
tice. It's called "La Guerre est Fini!'
and it's written by Elmo Scott Watson.

BY WALTER R. HrcCALLUM.

Carrying out the promise made to the
annual meeting of the District Golf AS
ISOLATION last March, a special commit
tee, which already has done some work
on the matter, will meet tonight at the
call of Chairman Albert e. Steinem to
revise and bring up to date the consti-
tuition and bylaws of the association.
The meeting is expected to bring to a
head the most important piece of work,
in legislative way, to be accomplished
by the association this year.
The present effort, to be conferred in
the meeting tonight, is literally to put
teeth" in the constitution of the local
golf association and to transform it
from loosely knit and loosely organ
lied body into closely knit organiza-
ton whose rulings will be mandatory
upon all the member clubs. The entire
matter is more or less an outgrowth of
the Voigt affair of 1927, when at least
one of the clubs of the association
threatened secession from the main
body unless the ruling declaring Voigt
not eligible for the District amateur
championship was withdrawn.
But behind the scenes are other mat
ters which press for solution. Here
tofore the constitution of the District
GOH ASSOCldIlOn mas not permltted the
organization to arbitrarily enforce it's
rulings. nor has there been clearing
house within the organization where
such matters as eligibility, amateur
status and other considerations could
be taken up. The feeling is that, al
though the association ruled Voigt in
eligible for play in the 1927 amateur
championship, the ruling could not be
enforced because there was no proviso
in the constitution enforcing the ruling
on the member clubs. The situation
