Without doubt the ST. Louis
County Fair at Hibbing is one of the
best County Fairs in the state and is
a miniature copy of the State Fair,
recognized as the best exposition in the
United States. The dates for the fair
this year have been advanced in order
not to conflict with the state exposition.
Since the County Fair has been moved
to Hibbing from Duluth where it had
slid into the dumps, the same has i'm
proved steadily until today it holds its
own with any county fair in the state
noted for fine county fairs. Although
the agricultural and live stock ex-
hibits are second to none and the at
fractions are of the best, the attend
ance has been rather discouraging the
past two years. This was accounted
for in the wet weather which has
greeted the exposition in these years.
The people of Ely will make no mis-
take in attending the fair. 1t is their
fair as well as the fair of the entire
county. Remember the dates and plan
to attend. August "a, Is and Is.

as much right to enter home as he

,On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Some OF our exchanges with Farmer
Labor tendencies in their makeup are
calling attention to Ernest Lundeen
for senator with the wish that, as
Senator ShipStead has made good and
better, Lundeen should be elected to
be Senator ShipStead's partner in the
high councils at Washington. They
base their opinion of the desirability
of Lundeen on the assumption that as
he bears the FL. label he must be
a second Shipstead
Boys, it can't be done. There is no
such animal as second Shipstead
Henrik is the only simon-pure, blown
in-the-bottle specimen of that kind
in existence. Lundeen may have
Farmer-Labor label attached to his
title, placed there by Ernie himself
but that does not signify that he could
even carry water for Henrik Shipstead
in matters of vital import to the state
or nation. AS far as we can see, and
we can see back several years, Ernie
Lundeen'S distinction to fame rests on
his ability to get on every ticket at
every election for some kind of an
office and horn in on all debates on
any subject anybody can bring up
And he is always on the losing end of
every election and on the losing end
of every debate. The first fact is ac-
countable for the reason of the voting
constituency having lack of con-
f1dence in Ernie and the latter fact
is accounted for in the fact that he
always takes the opposite side of every
argument he enters.

The Shipstead coat-tails are pulled
all out of shape. During the past pri-
marieS, several candidates attached
themselves to the ShipStead coat-tails
in hopes that the popularity of the
Junior senator from Minnesota would
pull them along with this wave and
land them in the place they coveted.
The voter knew that there was only
one Henrik. The voters also felt that
these candidates were not of official
calibre because if they were only of the
mind of Shipstead, there would be alb
solutely no cause for placing them in
Office. The voter kind of expected that
the candidate would have mind of
his own. This not being the case they
were elected to stay at home, those
casting ballots knowing that Mr.. Ship
stead was abundantIy able to handle
their affairs without the assistance of
a bevy OF Eyes" men which, by their
own statements, they proved to be-
No! All Farmer-Labor diciples are
not ShipsteadS. Some are not even
LundeenS. Some are Republicans and
Democrats who, as we said before, are
hanging to the Shipstead coat-tails in
the hopes of being dragged along in
the wake of his popularity. Ernie
Lundeen will have another "also ran"
distinction added to his collection Of
distinctions after Nov A. He will have
one satisfaction, however, he will not
be alone in his trip up Salt Creek.
The boat will be loaded and party
labels will be of no consequence All
will be "also rams
