the friends of william A. Pittenger will
have real work mapped out for them
to put him on the ballot. Besides, the
district alone will not be sufficient to
put him over. Friends in other parts
of the state should be appealed to.
This not only applies to our congress-
man but to other districts as well.
For the information of the voters we
are publishing the list of the nominees
for all offices to be voted for at the
primaries. We have placed them IN
the several tickets which will be before
the people in order. We are hide
bound enough to feel that the best
ticket to be voted will be the Repup-
lican ticket With the mess staring
us in the face, it is to be hoped that
something will be done to get back to
the old convention system when men
elected by the people will get together
and nominate good material for pubic
office and not make the possession OF
the filing fee an open sesame to get on
the ticket regardless of ability or ht-
ness.
The head of the Republican ticket
is Earle Brown, drafted by the state
wide conference of delegates at St.
Paul last month for governor. That
he is the proper man for this high pos
ltion was established before he was
chosen by reason of the efficiency IN
which he has managed everything with
which he had any connection in an
official way. Look for the name OF
Earle Brown on the ballot and mark
him Then mark every other Repub-
lican on the state ballot OF your choice
and if you feel SO disposed.
The names of those on the several
ballots are as follows:
GOVERNOR

Republican-Earle Brown, Mime
apolis and Franklin F. Ellsworth, Min
neapolis.

and we should all get together and see
that our man gets on the ticket. If
he don't, we will be short a congress-
man. Our man, Pittenger, is now at
Washington and in all probability will
not be able to get back here to cam
paign for the nomination. He is where
he belongs and is not neglecting his
official duties to further his campaign
Should by chance, the nine districts
fall down on nominating a man from
their district, it looks very much as if
nine congressman will be chosen on the
ballot from the vicinity of the Twin
Cities and from the ranks of ex-govern-
ors and other statewide known men, If
this section of the country is to be
represented on the congressional ticket,

WATER PLANT
INSPECTED


Since the beginning of the work on
the Ely water supply changes from
Shagawa Lake to BURNSIDE Lake, the
project has been in the public eye all
over the United States and many
cities of the smaller class are giving the
Ely water supply almost as much study
as has been given it by our city council,
the engineering corps of the Oliver
Mining Company, the Pickands, Mather
Company, City Engineer veranth and
City Chemist Thompson. To the credit
of all those concerned with the water
of Ely, it must be said that they have
evolved a system, which when COM
pleted viii be second to none and at
an expense that attracts the attention
of cities with water project on their
hands.
A group of thirty Junior Engineering
students from the North Dakota Agri-
cultural College of Fargo, North OAK
ota, were in the city Wednesday and
studied the subject, particular attention
being paid the installation of the line
to BURNSIDE Lake and the plant pro-
ject for the treatment and storage of
a guaranteed supply of as 'nearly-pure-
as-can-be" water for the people of Ely.
The students were accompanied by
Prof. Waldo E. Smith and assistant
professor, George F. Yott of the Uni
versity. The inspection by the class
was conducted as a class room pro-
ject and detailed studies of the en-
cheering plans were gone into. Prof.
Smith expressed the opinion that the
project was well planned and con-
stituted considerable fine engineering
study and effort Prof Smith, previous
to coming to the NJ D. college had
been head of the College of Engineer
ing at Constantinople, Turkey.
The visitors were shown through the
Ely works by Engineer veranth and
Chemist Thompson who also explained
the past Of Ely's water problems and
IN detail the future water treatment
upon the completion of the present
work being done. Prof. Smith and his
class were very much pleased with the
treatment accorded them

AN APOLOGY

The Ely Miner editor, typesetter
and proof reader owes an apology
to the American Legion Auxiliary
for the error we made last week fn
announcing the result of the Poppy
Sale conducted under the direction
Of Mrs. Rex Larson and her can
able committee. Since the paper
was printed comments have been
general ON the streets as to the
Flop Of the sale. The Miner had
II that the net results Of the sale
amounted to S11.S7. In some unac-
counfable manner one figure was
missing. The amount should have
been S1ll.s7. We humbIy beg the
pardon of the Auxiliary girls for
this grave error but win reiterate
the statement of a week ago that
the sale was success due to the
untiring efforts of the committee
In charge. When the doctor makes
an error IL ID buried When q news
paper makes an error It Is printed
Tor the wide world to see.

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

The sample ballots of the
three parties for which filings
have been made and the filings
on the non-party basis have
been published. The voter this
month will have some studying
to do in order to nominate the
man of his choice at the pri-
maries. This has been made
easier by the placing of the
party names on the ballots and
in order to pick the man of
your choice you will be COM
PEELED o ask for the party bal
lot on which the name of your
favorite appears.
1t will be easy, just like that.
If all your favorite candidates
are on the same ticket and if
you care to stretch your con-
science by demanding a ticket
not of your political faith, it
will be easy. The filings show
a wide selection and there are
candidates galore for each and
every place on this years
ballot.
The ballot will cause the
printer many sleepless nights
in order to get the thing
straight as per the laws in such
cases made and provided. 1t
will be just Republican, DEM
ocrat, or Farmer-Labor ballot
with a lot of names on it that
the voter will get at the polls
but it will represent more than
four weeks work by state Off
cials and the printing offices.
The task of choosing nine
congressman at large is the
reason for the main difficulty
of the printer. Each party pri-
mary will nominate nine candi-
dates to make the race in
November. The supernatural
ance of candidates makes it
hard. There are plenty for
each. The Republicans have
50; the Farmer-Laborites 35,
and the Democrats 81.
The law says names on the
ballots must be rotated so that
every candidate will have his
name at the head Of the list an
equal number of times. The
rotation must be so arranged
that each name appears at the
bottom of the list the same
number of times and in inter-
mediate positions similarly.
Not only that, but each voting
precinct must be given a share
of ballots with each arrange
ment on it so that each candi-
date will have an even break
in each district as far as pos
sible on the ballots.
With the large number of
names on the ballot for con-
gress, a warning has been is
sued that if any ticket shows
more than nine names marked
for congressman, the entir,e bal
lot will be thrown out. 1t be-

AID OF RESOURCES
BY RITCHIE PRAISED
MARYLAND Conservation Commis'
sioner, in Radio Talk, Mentions
Important Laws.

The aid OF Gov. Albert C. Ritchie Of
Maryland toward saving waning natural
resources Of that State was lauded by
Commissioner OF Conservation Swepson
Earle In a radio address yesterday dur
ing the Rod and Stream program ar
ranged by The Washington Star.
Gov. Ritehies aid, Earle said, has
made possible the passage OF progressive
laws and Inauguration Of conservation
projects of the utmost importance. He
continued:
Through Gov Ritchie's interest and
active aid 1t was possible in 1926 to
persuade the Virginia Legislature to
pass, after a bitter fight, bill to pro-
tect the sponge crab in her waters. 1t
was also through Gov. Ritchie's aid
that the Maryland Legislature Of 1927
passed an act which was designed to
restore depleted natural oyster bars Of
the State.
Maryland conservationists, aided by
the Governor, were also able to secure
the passage in 1927 of an anglers
license law, which. for the first time in
the history of the State fish hatchery
operations, provided sufficient funds for
the rearing of fish particularly trout)
to the legal size before stocking public
streams.
Another achievement of the first i'm
portance attained under the Ritchie
administration is the establishment of
the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory,
which opened its doors this month at
Solomons Island, Md"

DEATH AND LASH
PENALTIES URGED
DR.. Vaughn Tells Cosmopolitan
Club How Major Crimes
Should Be Checked.

Capital punishment for such major
crimes as murder, kidnapping, burglary
and criminal assault, and the establish
ment Of the whipping post. with a
graduated number of lashes to fit the
crime, we're advocated by DR.. George
Tully Vaughn, Washington surgeon
and head of the surgical department
at Georgetown University, in an ad-
dress before the Cosmopolitan Club
at the Carlton Hotel yesterday. He
also advocated sterilization for the in
sane and habitually criminal.
DR.. Vaughn said there are more
alcoholic drinks being used today than
ever before. He urged repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment, which, he said,
can never be enforced, even if the
United States were to draft a huge
army and turn over to it the task of
enforcing prohibition. He predicted
that the eighteenth amendment will be
repealed or forced into the status of
the old New England blue" laws be-
fore many years.
The club voted to hold night meet
ing on the third Thursday of each
month during the Summer. Attendance
prizes we're won By William Mccarthy
and Emory Galliher.

MECHANIC STRIKE
DENIED BY SHAPIRO
Builder Explains Use of Food
Vouchers as Part Pay
ment of Wages.

Published reports that there had
been a strike of mechanics employed
by him were denied today by J. B.
Shapiro, president of the Shapiro Con-
struction Co. The reports were to the
effect there had been a general strike
Of mechanics employed by him on the
erection of a group Of row houses in
protest against being paid of, in part,
with food vouchers instead Of all cash.
Mr. Shapiro said he placed in effect
about month ago q plan whereby
the mechanics received as part payment
for their work food vouchers, to be
cashed at a grocery store. He said the
store was operated by brother-in-law.
The scarcity Of construction loans at
the present time, which has caused the
majority of local builders to stop con-
struction and throw hundreds of men
out Of work" his statement continued,
made 1t necessary for Shapiro to
build these 80 homes with his own
funds on this one building operation
which Is the only one where the food
vouchers have been used.
'tAH workmen were paid at least
half cash and were given food checks
which could be caShed at local store
of the District Grocers' Association"
Shapiro said the food voucher plan
was agreed to by the subcontractors
engaged In the erection of the houses,
and that virtually all the mechanics
appeared satisfied. Those who asked
for cash payments instead of food
vouchers. he said, had been paid cash.
The plan, he added, enabled his
company to give employment to about
800 workmen, many OF whom had been
unemployed for months. The voucher
system ives used at the operation at
twentieth and Park road, he said, but
not at the project at Seventh and
Quackenbos streets.

800 GIVEN NOTICE
AT CENSUS BUREAU
Dismissal to Follow Leaves
of Temporary Clerks.
Others to Follow.

Five hundred temporary employees OF
the Census Bureau have been notified
to take all vacation leave due them SC
they may be dismissed from the Fed
eral service on July 8, it was announced
today
After that date a total of 800 tenn
porary employees will be released from
service in weekly detachments, it was
said.
BY January /, 1888, all 10000 tenn
porary clerks who came here from var
ious sections two years ago to aid in
tabulating the 1880 Federal census will
be dismissed, according to william M
Steuart, census director.
In the meantime, Director Steuart is
planning to vacate the old temporary
building at Sixth and B streets, which
has been the home Of the bureau foI
several years. Many of the permanent
employees staff Of TAO have already beer
moved to the bureaus section in the
new Commerce Department.
During the last two weeks many o.
the bureaus tabulating machines have
been set up in the new building The
director said he expected to have prac-
tically all his regular and part of the
temporary forces in the new quarters
during July.
1t was said that many of the tempo
rary employees slated for dismissal on
July have already started on their
leave. Director Steuart said today all
will be given what is due them under
Government leave regulations before
they are dismissed
Only few major details of the tre-
mendous task confronting the bureau
two years ago remained incomplete and
their tabulations are expected to be
expedited so that the complete census
statistics can be compiled in book form
by the end of this year.
