THANKSGIVING REMINDS Us
OF MYLES STANDISHS FAME

The coming of Thanksgiving Day,
which all Americans will soon be cele-
brating, reminds us not only of the
Pilgrim Fathers who gave us that holi
day, but also Of the man who was our
first great captain" and whose strong
right arm was the main defense of
these first Massachusetts, settlers.
Myles Standish was his name and his
life story was an interesting one, as
you will see if you read the illustrated
feature article Capt. Myles Standish
Of Plymouth" by Elmo Scott Watson
in this issue of The Miner.

The name Ely" stands out all over
the world as the smallest title for the
biggest little city in the land. This is
not all. Ely" is not only recognized
as the Playground Of the Nation" but
several remarkable people sport the
name of Ely. The latest to pop UP
into the rmelight with this cognomen
is the 30 pound football star on the
Ohio team.

ally a likeable chap and gentleman
worth knowing. We don't admire his
idea of making ocean Of the northern
end of the state but do feel that the
dirt thrown at him at the convention
was not according TO Hoyle and had no
bearing on the case. Politics in itself
is a clean sport but some OF the leaders
make Of it a dirty mess on occasions.
Believe it or not, as Ripley says
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-11-15

Our geographical location is such
that whatever we might surmise means
little to the self-appointed guardians
of the political pot in the Twin Cities.
We however as yet consider ourselves
citizens Of Minnesota and expect to
have our say, and we are going to say
it as occasion demands. Right here,
we are going to remark, that the recent
letter sent out ridiculing Ray Chase
was about as dirty a piece Of work
noticed in years and compared some
what with the "to hell with Backus
banner thrown out at the state con-
vention a year ago. These may be
good politics. but we fail to see it.

Rufus Hitchcock of Hibbing would
make a good governor without doubt.
His entry into the ring would at once
be hearlded as the work Of the Steel
Corporation" and machettes would be
whetted to a fine edge to get his scalp.
It will take a few years more before
the Mason and Dixon" line is removed
by voting strength from state affairs
and until that time it is our opinion
that no northern Minnesota man need
apply for any of the positions to be
filled by state elections. Yea. And
what's the use Of spelling a good legis-
Iator TO furnish southern Minnesota
