The Arrowhead team took a close
and exciting game from the revamped
City team Sunday on to 2 count.
The game showed flashes of good base
ball and the spectators were pleased.
The game somewhat materialized into
a pitchers battle between Ballas of
the Arrowheads and Harri of the City
team. A wild throw by Harri in the
fifth inning let in two runs for the
Arrowheads and decided the issue.
Both pitchers did fine work and
handed out few hits. Ballas went the
route allowing six hits and striking out
seven. Harri worked six innings, gave
four hits and struck out five. w. Stark
man replaced Harri for the last three
innings holding the AS hitless and
ScoreleSs.

with two hits. Ballas helped win his
own game by getting two of the four
hits made by the team, driving in two
runs and scoring one himself.

L. NJ. Willcuts, formerly of
Duluth but now the collector of
internal revenue with head
uarters in st. Paul, is being
groomed to head the Republi-
can State Central Committee
to succeed E. L. Mcmillan. Lee
Willcuts always was a power
in state politics and no mis-
take would be made in naming
him as the chairman.
Another name that is being
prominently mentioned for this
position is that of Martin A.
Nelson of Austin. Mr.. Nelson
also has the qualifications to fill
this prominent place in Mime
sofa political affairs. The can
didates in choosing their chair
man would need offer no ex-
cuses for either Mr.. Nelson or
Mr.. Willcuts. It is understood
that A. L. Mcmillan has indi-
Gated his reluctance to serve
longer as state chairman.

Things will change for the November
election when all the nominees will be
on one ballot and the voter will not be
compelled to call for the ticket of his
choice from which to select party adj
herents.
The large vote scored by Earle Brown
was gratifying to the friends of Mr..
Brown. Jerry A. Harri, native son of
Ely, also did a fine stroke of running.
The two were outdistanced by that
veteran in the clerk of courts Office, j.

somewhat of pace setter for those
on the tickets.
The large field of congressional as
pirants in the state brought about by
the adjustment of the district lines was
sorrowful mess for the voter The
Republicans had 80 names on the bal
lot; the Farmer Laborites 35, and the
Democrats 81.
From present indications, our con-
gresham, william A. Pittenger was
nominated along with eight others on
the Republican ballot. The others are
Theodore Christensen, Ray P. Chase,
w. I. Nolan, j. A. A. Burnquist, Harold
Knutson, N. j. Holmberg, August H.
Andersen and c. G. Selvig.
On the Democratic ticket the nine
nominees are in all probability Einar

Bryan, Hugh T. Kennedy, Robert C..
Bell, Donald A. Chapman, James R.

F. Gaarenstroom, A. c. Townley, j. L.
Peterson, F. H Shoemaker and Henry

From this array of statewide known
men, the voter will pick his choice
Of nine men for congress. And that will
not be such an easy matter when the
array of talent from which to make the
choice is considered According to our
way of thinking, the voter will make no

Loose TraiLers
Cause Accidents.

A number of serious accidents oc-
curing recently in this and other
states as result of trailers breaking
loose and running into the paths of
other vehicles prompts the urging by
state highway department bulletin
to motorists to play safe on trailer
couplings"
Notwithstanding the use of safety
towing hooks, by means of which the
connecting bar between two pieces of
equipment is locked into place, high
way department regulations require the
use of chain to supplement the usual
connection whenever trailer or other
piece of highway equipment is being
towed, and this practice, the bulletin
states, is strongly recommended to all
motorists no matter how large or small
the trailer may be if the journey is
to be Of particular length
If a trailer is attached to vehicle
which moves good part of the time
after dark, not only must the trailer
display rear light, but the electrical
connection should be so arranged that
the breaking of of the trailer VIII be
noticeable through the lighting of an
auxiliary lamp in the cab of the towing
vehicle. This arrangement, because of
being more Instantly noticeable, is pre-
ferable, the bulletin points out, to
having the connection so arranged that
the dash lights go out
For small trailer moved only ON
rare occasions after dark, a suggested
safeguard against the trailer breaking
away without being noticed is a cord
attached TO the trailer and to the towing
vehicle in such way that the breaking
of the cord win attract the attention
of the driver

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

The Minnesota primary law
in its application last Monday
clearly and concisely bore out
the statement that it is not so
good for the politics of the
state nor the offices for which
the nominations were made.
While the old convention sys-
tenn had some abuses, it never
theless remains a fact that no
such a muddle as confronted
the voter on Monday could
have existed under the con-
vention system of making nom
nations.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1932-06-24

nations.
The case in point was proven
in the conference nomination of
Earle Brown for governor.
Mr.. Brown received the support
of the convention that placed
his name before the people and
his election will follow by the
same method of a united sup
port for the candidate having
this support in the convention
and hence the election. He
was satisfactory to the large
body of men and women that
placed his name on the ballot.
The vote of Monday showed
that the conference made no
mistake.
Under the present primary
system it is possible for any,
one with money enough to pay
his filing fee to get on the ball
lot regardless of fitness or
character. Many get on as an
advertising medium and others
to impress their friends and
relatives IN the old country of |
their Importance. Others also |
use it as cloak to some shady |
manipulation with the implied
impression that a man who can
get on a state ballot in a great
state like Minnesota, can do no
wrong. Besides ironing out the
deplorable congressional situa-
ton, the legislature next winter
should pay some attention to
ironing out the kinks in the
primary system. This will be
a hard matter as many of those
who get into the law-making
body get there by the very
reason of this primary system
and would be out of luck pro-
viding they had to go before
a convention.
The return to the convention
system would cure many abuses
now manifest on every election
date. The selection of friends
and neighbors as delegates to
conventions to place men, tried
and true, in nomination for
public Office, in our opinion,
would be preferable to the
present method of seeking a |!
place on the ballot simply be-
cause they have the money to

CAPONE TAKES
PLEA TO HIGH
FEDERAL COURT
Review of His Conviction by
Supreme Tribunal Is
Asked.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Attor-
i1eys for AL Capone today fled an
appeal with the United States SUI
preme court asking that body to re-
view his recent conviction on in
come tax frauds.
The appeal was filed by Michael
j Ahern and Albert Fink, as coun-
sci for Capone The brief submitted
on behalf Of Capone challenges the
felony counts on which he was sem
fenced TO terms Of imprisonment
aggregating eleven years and fines
totaling $4,000.
The only question here involved, -
the brief states, is whether the
felony counts on their face are so
defective thai they can not support
the judgments pronounced upon
them"
The brief maintains that the in
dictments under which Capone was
sentenced are fatally defective" in
that they merely follow the general
language Of the statute on which
they are based and fail to give facts
which would enable Capone to plead
former jeopardy" should he be sub
sequently prosecuted for the same
offense.
II also argues that the indictment
did not inform the convicted Chi
cago racketeer Of the nature and
cause Of the accusations against
him" and thus deprived him Of
constitutional rights.
It also is maintained on behalf
of Capone that the section Of in
come tax laws under which he was
convicted was not intended to apply
to cases similar to his.

THIEVES STAGE
VARIETY NIGHT
KEGS IN BOOTY
Crooks Carted Away From
Malt Store; Crystal
Globes From Yards.

Variety is the spice of life-even
to burglars.
Chester Bryant, operator. Of the
Hoosler Malt Company, 902 Viz
ginia avenue, is one victim to adj
NIT the burglars desire for a
change of loot.
He told police that thieves who
entered the shop early today left
with six ten-gallon oak kegs, four
ten-gallon crooks and fifteen boxes
of half-pint TASKS. The total value
is S46.
But that's not all. Bryant said
they ripped five tires, tubes and
rims from the car of his brother
Herschel Bryant, which was parked
in the place. A rear vision mirror
with clock, and a horn also went
to the 'victors." The value of these
articles is SOS.
Crystal gazing globes that orna-
ment northSide yards found theil
way into thieves hands, too.

SIC was taken from his yard dur
ing the night. He had one stoler
last year, too, he said.
And Mrs. j. H Erbrich, 537l
Washington boulevard, said she
was awaked early today by some
one stumbling in her yard.
Investigation proved part Of the
noise came from the slip of the
looter's foot, the rest from the crash
of globe against the sidewalk. Sht
said broken globe represented ar
original investment of $25.

Letters May Be Registered With
Carrier, Clancy Points Out.
Postmaster Leslie D. Clancy today
called attention to an old postal
provision whereby letters may be
registered with any mail carrier,
without the trouble Of going to the
postofice or a postal substation.
He also reminded the public Of
another service. that of tracing adj
dresses Of families who have moved.
This may be done, he said, by send
ing a registered letter to the last
known address, at the time request
ing return receipt with a nota-
ton Of the place of delivery. A
small fee is charged for this, in
addition to the regular registration
fee.
