NELSON MEETS
ELY PEOPLE
Creates a Very Favorable I'm
preston With His Sensible
Arguments.

Martin A. Nelson, Republican candi-
date for Governor, was in the city
Saturday afternoon and addressed the
voters at the Washington Auditorium
Nearly 400 people were in attendance
Owing to its being Saturday afternoon
when business people usually are very
busy, the attendance demonstrated the
interest manifested in the campaign
and the attendance was favorably COM
mented on.
Mr.. Nelson arrived at about noon.
In his honor dinner was served at the
Forest Hotel where the executive COM
mittee of the Republican Club was
present The candidate was accom-
panied by N. j. Holmberg, Republican
nominee for. u. S. Senator; County
Chairman James Early and Mrs. EARLY;
Mrs. w. G. Smith, chairman of the
Duluth women; Mrs. Frank RoSemeier,
chairman of the range women; Mrs. E.
Gilman and Harry Gillespie of Virginia;
Mrs. Risebrook of Hibbing; Gus Carl
son, Chas. E. Johnson, Martin Gunder-
son and G. A. KoSh of Tower.
After very fine dinner to the music
of the Little German Band who oc-
cupied truck at the hotel entrance, a
parade to the Auditorium was formed
where Chairman A. w. Nelson intro
duced the speakers in very neat adj
dress in which he called attention to
the necessity of making a change in
the state government.
N j. Holmberg was the first speaker
on the program. Mr.. Holmberg has
been heard in Ely on several occasions
but his address on Saturday eclipsed
all former efforts and he talked straight
from the shoulder in his own behalf
and paid tribute to Mr.. Nelson and
other candidates on the ticket with him.
Martin Nelson on being introduced
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-10-19

was rendered an ovation. He did not
waste any time but at once launched
into his address during which he an
alyzed the Republican platform Of
American principles as compared with
the Farmer-Labor platform of Com
munism.
He blamed the FL. party for a
100000 deficit III the states general
fund and stated that the party had
clearly shown its inability to take over
the additional burdens of private bust
ness as advocated in the platform. He
vigorously opposed the cooperative
commonwealth" program and cited
numerous instances in adjoining states
in which the venture resulted in fail
ure. The Dakotas were the shining ex-
amples of the states inefficiency to
manage state owned industries and
gave figures to prove his contention.
Mr.. Nelson is a speaker who arrays
his telling shots in order and places
them most advantageously. He does
not rant, rave and throw his arms about
but clearly enunciates every idea to
back up his statements. His address
was received with applause by the lis
teners and those who heard him were
impressed with his honesty of pur-
pose, manliness aEd character.
After having riddled the proposition
of state ownership he closed his talk
with the following: Public ownership
as is proposed in the FL platform,
would keep out new industries and out
side capital, would destroy home mar
kets which are vitality necessary to the
progress and development of the far
mer. Nothing can be accomplished by
the enactment of laws which would
drive business to surrounding states
A reception followed the addresses
after which the party left for Tower
and the Mesaba range where meetings
were held. The evening meeting in
Virginia filled the auditorium to the
doors. Everywhere Mr.. Nelson speaks,
he is greeted and hailed as the next
governor of Minnesota

ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and ImmateriaI by
the Editor.

The ordinary auto driver is a
gentleman but often you meet
up with a bunch who fiaunt
the road laws and pay no at
tention to rules and regulations
of the road. While the laws
make it mandatory to have
DINNERS on your glazing head
lights besides specifying the
angle at which lights should be
focused, very little attention
is paid to the law or the rules
as was clearly proven early
Sunday evening when the car
in which the writer was riding
passed 126 cars between Vir-
ginia and Tower and about %
more between Tower and Ely.
While the driver of the car on
which we were riding dimmed
his lights for all passing cars,
only three responded in the
first 1875 and four in the last 25
or more.
Glaring headlights are the
cause of manv accidents and
coupled with the impaired WISH
bility on the black top high
ways, night driving becomes a
serious hazard. A white line
in the center of the black top
roads would help out matters
somewhat but a night patrol
to check lights would be the
proper caper.
