The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-08-24
On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor on things
Material and Immaterial.

Along with DR.. Parker, Mayor Muir
ply, A. j. Thomas and daughter, Miss
Vida Thomas, we attended the organi-
cation dinner of the ST. Louis County
Republican committee at Hotel Duluth
on Monday evening and will say this
is the first time that we can remember
of attending a gathering at which was
displayed the unalloyed Republican
sentiment which prevailed the more
than $50 guests. The get-to-gether of
the county committee named by Chair
man j. Carver Richards also marked
an innovation in the political history
of st. Louis County inaSmuch as it
brought the county committee together
for meeting in its entirety and offer
ed the members an opportunity to get
acquainted with one another. Warren
Greene acted as POSTMASTER and in his
accustomed efficient manner introduc-
ed the speakers of the evening, inter
mittently punctuating his introduc-
tions with his fund of excellent humor.
Lieutenant Governor w. I. Nolan, in
Christianson, was the principal speak
er of the evening f1anked by those ex-
cellent takers, Art E. Nelson, w. A.
Pittinger, Ludwig I. Roe, Mrs. Manley
Foseen, Attorney General Youngquist
and Claude H. Mackenzie, not forget
ting the Eighth District President Elec-
tor DR.. Lennott of Virginia. The SEN
l,x,t no nc
literally applauded and the mention Of
Herbert Hoover on each occasion tend
ed toward an ovation. Governor Nolan
was particularly eulogistic in his adj
dress of Candidate Hoover and the
next president when he described Her.
bert Hoover as 1.-The most capable man
in the United States and even the
which confront the United States to-
day"
Particularly pleasing to us was the
address made by Claude H MacKen-
zie, national committeeman, elected TO
replace VIM. F. Brooks, deceased. Be-
fore the convention which nominated
convention in st. Paul, Claude was an
out-and-out supporter of Frank o..
Lowden for president. He put up an
excellent fight for Mr. Lowden and it
was through his efforts that Mime
sofa was placed IN the Lowden column
and an instructed delegation sent to
Kansas City. While Claude was hard
G<xk.& f@,. hi he
a strong Republican and no sooner was
Hoover nominated, his valuable efforts
were turned towards the task of elect
ing the nominee Immediately follow
ing the nomination Claude issued a
statement to the press affirming his
support of Herbert Hoover. In some
manner this statement was not print
ed In the Duluth papers and was not
broadcast in the Associated Press dis
patches. Many in this county were in
doubt as to whom he was backing for
president His talk Monday night set
at rest any misgivings as to this point.
We have known Claude for a matter
of twenty-three years and during that
time he has been hard worker for
anything he undertook. His legislative
record has been open and on the side
of what he thought was right. His
legislative battles, his fight for Lowden
before the convention and the fact that
he was chosen as national committee
man speaks in glowing terms of his fit
ness to wage successful campaign for
the election of Herbert Hoover in Nov
ember He will make good on his state
ment that his energy and the energy Of
the Republicans of the state will be
united towards the election of the
nominee Claude knows what he is
talking about.
The solution of the oft discussed
"cow question" in Ely bids to material
ize within very short time. The ten
dency among the citizens is to remove
their fences and this will be about the
best thing that ever happened. This
summer, Ely people have made many
