Ely Girl Wins First Prize
In Bible Story Contest,

Miss Isabella Nankervis of this city
was the winner of the Bible Story
Telling Contest conducted by the Ep-
worth League in connection with the
Northern Minnesota Conference held
at Deer River last week. Miss Nam
kervis won the first prize of SIS with
her story "Naanan the Leper" in CON-
petition with speakers from Bemidji
Breckenridge and Park Rapids. The
story telling contest took place Sunday
evening, the five judges being unani-
nous in awarding the first prize to
Miss Nankervis.
Rev. J.. T. Dixon and Mrs. Dixon at
tended the conference as did also Mrs
Gust Robertson as lay delegate from
this city. Mr.. and Mrs. j. T. Nankervis
drove down Saturday and were accom-
panied by Miss Berniece Needing, Ed
Farley and Miss Isabella Nankervis
Mr.. Nankervis and party went to at
tend the League anniversary.
The conference returned Rev. Dixon
to the charge in this city, much to the
satisfaction of the congregation which
had unanimously asked for his return.
Rev. Dixon and his eStimable lady have
made host of friends in the city since
their advent among us year ago.

analyze Gov. Olson's keynote speech,
so I hesitate to go into detail. Yet the
thought strikes me that there are
noticeable differences in the attitudes
of the three candidates for governor
that can't be explained by study Of
their respective party platforms.
Mr.. Regain and Gov. Olson agree to
this extent: they both Jump onto the
Republican national administration
with both feet, but are somewhat more
charitable toward the Republican
candidate for governor. This may be
because Earle Brown as man and citi-
zen stands above paltry criticism ex-
cept, as pointed out by both of his OPP
ponents somewhat sarcastically, that he
happens to have some inherited worldly
wealth and therefore assuming that his
sympathies are entirely with "the vested
interests"
Such assumption, however, doesn't
seem to be borne out by Mr.. Browns
own emphatic, sincere and oft repeated
statements to effect that he will take
politics out of state departments" and,
more concretely, that he will approve
an income tax law "only if made as a
replacement tax for existing burden
some real and personal property taxes, .
thus placing the burden on those best
able to bear it.
The further assumption that Earle
Brown will or can wear any mans
collar"-be it individual or interest
would hardly be made basis for political
attack by anybody who claims to know
him personalities does Gov. Olson,
for instance.

or extraordinary. We need but to cast
out the prevailing Republican practice
of using government for the benefit of
the privileged few.
1T is a far cry from the right-wing
Republicanism of Herbert Hoover and
the Republicanism of Abraham Lin
coin
IF any section of the party can claim
Lincoln as its forbear is the maligned
progressives- toilette, Norris, Howell
Norbeck, Frazier, Nye, Cousins, Cut
ting"
And he likewise praised the progressi-
vism of such Democrats as Wheeler
All this is natural and logical, from
the governors standpoint, because ne
knows-as does everybody else-that he
can't be elected only by Farmer Labor
votes. He needs goodly amount of
support from Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, hence his appeal to progressives
of both parties was to be expected.
Now that all three leading candi-
dates for governor have spoken their
pieces" is, delivered their key
note addresses the campaign ought to
get down to brass tacks. But it won't
There WE'LL still be the same amount
as usual of accusations about "evad-
ing" or misrepresenting" the issues
This is natural, for the simple reason
that each party seeks to make its own
issues through its platform-and the
candidates are presumed to stand on
the platform as adopted. And they
usually do.

few shipping mines near Biwabik, Nc
Kinley, Virginia and Eveleth, and the
officials also visited there before re-
turning to st Paul.
An item that nearly escaped us in
that issue called attention to the be-
ginning of the steel industry at Ashta-
bula, Ohio, near where 5000 acres of
land had been purchased by the Rookie
Teller interests and where steel works
were to be erected and mills for the
manufacture of the steel. Open hearth
furnaces were contemplated to produce
1000 tons of steel per day by the Steel
& Iron Improvement Comapny OF
Pittsburgh. The new plant was to be
a rival to the Carnegie interests as
Rockefeller had secured control of sew
eral properties on the Mesaba and the
ore was to be fabricated at Ashtabula
This meant much for Minnesota ore.
The writer of this was engaged on
the Vermilion Iron Journal at Tower
at the time news came down the lake
that the body of a man had been found
near the Crane Lake portage with a
bullet hole in his forehead This item
was also given in the Times. We re-
member the case very well. Coroner
VIM. Shepard went up and conducted
an examination. He found that the
body had lain in the water for about a
month and rope was attached to it
Indications pointed to the rope having
been weighted with a stone. Robbery
was motive for the crime as the
pockets of the dead man were inside
out. The strange part of the whole
affair was that money belt on the
person of the dead man was overlooked
by the robbers and murderers. In the
belt were found SITS in Canadian paper
money and seventeen $40 gold pieces
amounting to $51500 in all. Travel
from Fort Francis was by means OF
the border waters and Lake Vermilion
at that time.
We also noticed in the paper thai
Judge Dickinson of the Supreme Court
had resigned and that Hon. Daniel
Buck was named to fill the place **'
That a sneak thief stole the trousers OF

News in the paper of the issue cor
responding to the week of October 7th,
in 1893 was not very voluminous but
in carefully scanning the pages of the
Ely Times, then published by George
Wescott, we find the city council met
that week and allowed the payroll for
the previous month. The payroll
amounted to $582 3d. *"*That a special
train was in town having on board
mining officials and that the pay at the
mine was cut to $1.00 per day. "**That

A large force of men were engaged in
clearing land for the sawmill being
built at Fall Lake by Knox, Whiteside,
Winton and others. H. A. Kimball
was the superintendent of construction
and his instructions were to have the
mill in running order by spring. The
crew clearing the land was also con-
Structing roads and this was the be-
ginning of the passable road to Fall

confined to Shagawa Lake and the

Soft food and diseased teeth are
well as for children.
Physicians of the Minnesota State
Medical Association warn adults, especi-
ally, that their teeth need exercise rs
much as the muscles of their arms.
1.-The average health minded man
and woman falls down completely on
this phase of the routine necessary to
good teeth" the doctors say. 'They
play games; they walk, take regular
gymnasium exercise to keep their mus
culature firm. They attend to their
diet in SO far as proper amounts Of
the various food elements go. They 60
to their dentists regularly to keep their
teeth clean and in repair. But they
entirely overlook the necessity for eat
ing hard foods to exercise their teeth
and gums. Hard crusts; raw, hard
vegetables such as celery, carrots, raw
fruits such as apples, gristles and
tough fibres of meats all offer mouth
exercise. Incidentally, such foods cost
less in money and time to prepare
them, than the fancier, more sophisti-
Gated preparations which cause our
dental downfall"
Civilization has contributed very little
to the dental welfare of the race, the
physicians point out. What we have
gained in knowledge of tooth require
ments has not made up for the damage
our refined tastes in food has done
and will do.
There is no good excuse for poor
teeth nowadays" they declare. I'VE

st. Paul, Oct. 4, 1932.-The political
prognosticator is beginning to demand
his place in the sun" relative to the
outcome of the Nov. 8 election in
Minnesota, but he is still a pretty
cautious prophet-that is, unless he
happens to be partisan prophet.
In the last week or so I've asked a
half dozen or more men who ordinarily
are quite reliable when it comes to
predicting election results, out most Of
them say it's too early in the game
yet to hazard final prediction. There
are too many unknown quantities
likely to affect the result, they say,
and the one apparently uppermoSt in
their minds has to do with the size of
the vote that will go to Regain for
Governor.
Besides, there can be many slip
in these last five weeks that may
change the completion of things over
night.
We already have predictions from two
of the three rival camps, both somewhat
informal and subject to subsequent re-
vision, but they are interesting just the
same principally because of their diff
ference.
Mike ONeill, Democratic state chair
man, made the first prediction in the
course of statement replying to the
Olson attack on Republicans legisla-
tive record. On an estimated basis If
900, 1000 votes for governor, Mike claimed
AGO. 900 for Regain, conceding 100000 to
Brown and leaving 100000 for Gov.
Olson. Plainly case of wish being
father to the thought, of course. yet
the Democratic state chairman Is not
the only one who is optimistic as to
Regan's chances.
Then came prediction from the
Republican side of the fence, made in
an address by Ray Cummins, Ramsey
county chairman of the Younger Re-
publican movement. He prophesied
that Brown will receive about 100000
votes out of 100000 to be cast, and
gave 25o000 to Regain, which would
leave about the same number for Gov.
Olson, although Cummins declared that
the governor will be third in the race"
Both predictions, at this time, appear
somewhat out of line with actual con-
ditions, but allowance must be made
on the basis that each reflects rather

the hopes of the prognosticator than
his best judgment.
According to reports coming in from
various parts OF the state, Regain has
been making splendid Roadway in some
sections, but making little or none in
other communities. His fight for Gov.
Roosevelt as well as for himself may
bring him some thousands of votes more
than some observers are willing to con-
cede to him. This merely makes him
just that much more an unknown
quantity" and muddies the water for
the prognosticator.
Regan's rather bitter attacks upon
Commissioner Charles Babcock and the
state highway department generally
add to the difficulties of the guesser.
Regain himself claims he is receiving
unexpected offers of support because
of his anti-Babcock fight, while some
of the political observers assert that it
is more likely to prove boomerang.
It's hard to tell as yet which is right
Looking at the gubernatorial situation
up one side and down the other, the
impression grows on me that the size
of Regan's vote is the key to the situa-
ton. If he gets 10000 or more, the
odds should appear to be slightly in
favor of Browns election.
But, as clearly stated, five weeks is
long time, especially the last five
weeks of hot campaign, and anything
may happen.
TIE reaction throughout the state to
Gov. Olson's keynote speech of Monday
night Is also bound to be determining
factor in the result of the battle of
ballots.
The governor took some hot shots at
Brown, although most of his attack was
aimed at the past record of the Re-
publican party, national and state
And this is not direct issue in this
campaign, according to Browns reply
of last Saturday to the Olson challenge
to debate on a specific series of ques-
tons.
Voters win also disagree on this, it
is to be presumed.
The burden of Gov. Olson's keynote
address-aside from his accounting of
his stewardship might be summed up
in three or four of his paragraphs, as
follows:
ITO make government an instrument
for promoting the happiness of our
people We need seek nothing unique
