The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-10-20

The Republicans are charged
by the campaign orator of the
FL. rostrum with having a
huge campaign fund. The
Saltwater Gazette thinks that
if there ever was a candidate
for governor of Minnesota who
had huge fund back of him,
that man never had such a fund
as Benson has. With all the
assessments that are turned in
to the governors Office from
employees at the states prison,
reformatory, and other state
activities, the governor must
have money to burn, says the
Gazette.
That is not such a great
crime providing the money is
used to educate people and not
make people believe that all
the opposition are nothing but
crooks and thieves and all
newspapers are immoral except
one, known as the Minnesota
Leader. If your job depends
on the election of your boss, it
is your duty to help him in or
der to protect yourself. In
fact, it would be base ingrati-
tude if you did not stand be-
hind your benefactor with both
your support and cash inso-
much as lays in your power.
''To the victor belong the
spoils." This is automatic in
all political parties.

whelming approval by Southern cot
ton and tobacco farmers last spring.
Federal farm officials had said frank
ly, however, they did not wish to
have such a referendum in the MID:

sible to revise the figure by 10000, 900

Secretary Wallace estimated normal
domestic needs at laos, 100000 bushels
annually, compared with 2.345 100000
for the 1928-l937 average, and exports
at 10000 600 bushels, compared with
100000 bushels for the 10-year aver
age. He predicted that exports for the
year ending September 80 would total
100000, 900 bushels.
He said the departments corn
acreage program, under which corn
belt farmers were asked to reduce op-
erations from 18 to 20 per cent, was
the major factor in averting sur
plus, and pointed out that the corn
acreage was 9,768,000 less than in
1887.
THE program helped to bring about
an adjustment of about Is per cent in

The family of Mr.. and Mrs. J. r.

the home near Idlewild Sunday,
which was attended by all fourteen

the happy occasion. An ample lunch,
taken from well-filled baskets, was
spread on tables erected on the
lawn in front of the home. After
a brief word of welcome, spoken by
Ira T. Johnston on behalf of the
family and the invocation by Rev.
F. c. Watts, lunch was served.
After lunch, many songs, old and
new, were sung, some by the John
ston family and others by the
crowd, led by J. E. Cheek of Idle
wild. Though rain dampened the
joy of the occasion, it could not dim
nor destroy the joyous spirit of kin
ship and good fellowship which pre-
vailed.
The fourteen children are as fol-
lows: Ira T. Johnston, Jefferson;
Walter c. Johnston, Marion, Vir-
ginia; Mrs. Rosa Mills Owens, Quar-
ryville, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Pearl

Cornerstone Of
 Bldg. Was Layed
 Here Yesterday

Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m the citizenry of Nome gathered bafore the new federal building to witness the laying of the cor ner-stone Of the fine modern structure. Although Nome had been favored by pleasant wea- th:r for days proceeding the ceremony, it became cloudy and threatening about noon, and the damp. chill wind eff the sea would have cooled the enthusi- asm of less rugged group of people. Heavy coats and wraps were necessary, presenting a far from typical picture of Nome in mid summer
 Those who participated in the program, together with certain formally invited guests of the committee, were seated on a platform which was appropriate lv decorated with red, white and b.ue. The public address system, which was hooked up by Jack Stuart, PAA radio man, enabled the el, ire crowd to hear the speeches.
 The program opened with com munity singing of the national anthem. This was followed by the invocation, impressively given by Father Concannon.
 Mayor Polet greeted the crowd and, in behalf of the people of Nome. thanked Delegate Dimond and the Northwest Alaska Cham ber cf Commerce for their ef- forts, largely through which the building was secured. He urged the citizens to continue the pro- gram of construction of new and better public buildings, and sug- gested as the next civic project the construction of a modern hotel adequate 10 house the con- siderable transient population.
 Dr. Morcom introduced the guests of the committee, includ- ing De'ogc 2 D;mord, Messrs. Rachford, Wilson and Dane, mem bers of the reindeer fact-fnding committee; B. B. Mozee, U. s. Marshal at Nome; H. C. Nutting, U.S.Engineer on the harbor pro- ject: Messrs.
