Friday morning Filipinos snaring eels and other fish in the Pasig near the old captain of the port building by the aid of fish snares caught the largest eel ever seen on the water front. It was fully ten feet in length. Both banks of the Pasig and all the ships and lighters moored in the stream were thronged with hundreds of Filipinos with snares and spears trying to catch the fish that in myriads were swimming near the surface of the stream. Natives when asked in regard to the phenomenon were almost unanimously in their statement to the effect that at this time of the year the bottom of the river gets hot and that the fish have to leave the depths of the stream and flash back and forth on the surface. Another theory that seemed to have a great many adherents was to the effect that at this time every year there was a change in the character of the water, this change acting on the fish as a stimulant. This theory was advanced by an old pilot who has witnessed the phenomenon for many years.—Manila Times. HIS COMEBACK. Mr. Henpeck—I don't want you to put "Requesecat in place" on my wife's tombstone.

The fact is that women had to show that they could meet an emergency before the vote came to them. They have not had many opportunities to take the initiative in the world's history and they have not always responded when the opportunity came, but when a crisis, such as that in 1904, when the strike and the revolutionary outbreak in Russia took place at the same time, occurred, they proved they could make peace by doing it. Not until England and the United States find the women helping them to bear some great trouble will they give them the right to vote. Partly Made Over.

I told her it was no use but finally to humor her I tried a little, and they just struck my taste. It was the first food I had eaten in nearly a year that did not cause any suffering.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT ON OUR NATIONAL EFFICIENCY In Address Before the Conservation Congress at St. Paul He Says New Methods of Developing and Using Natural Resources of Country Are Needed. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 6.—Speaking on "National Efficiency" before the conservation congress today, former President Roosevelt impressed on his hearers the fact that conservation has become a national duty and must be looked at from a new point of view and accomplished by new methods of developing and using the natural resources of the country. His address was the feature of the day's program and was listened to by a throng that tested the capacity of the hall and that frequently applauded the colonel's vigorous language. The address in full was as follows: America's reputation for efficiency stands deservedly high throughout the full-limited that any nation can use the methods hitherto used. There is great reason to be proud of our achievements, and yet no reason to believe that we can achieve them without unrestrained individualism, we have reached a pitch of literary unexamined material prosperity; although the distribution of prosperity leaves much to the discretion of the individual and fair dealing. But we have not only allowed the individual a free hand, which was in the main right; we have also allowed the prosperity to act as though they were individuals, and the rights of individuals, in addition to using the vast combined power of high organization and enormous wealth for their own purposes. It is true, and is doubtless in large part responsible for the gigantic development of our natural resources, but it is not less responsible for waste, destruc- tion and monopoly on an equally gigantic scale. The method of reckless and uncontrolled private use and waste has done for us all the good it ever can, and it is the evil it easily may. We have passed the time when heedless waste and destruction, and arrogant monopoly, are any longer permissible. Henceforth we must take a more careful approach and a better way, by the way of the orderly development and use, coupled with the preservation, of our natural resources by making the most of what we have for us, and by making the sources of material prosperity open to indiscriminate exploitation. These are some of the reasons why it is wise that we should abandon the old point of view, and preservation has become a patriotic duty. Waterwaya Development. Waterways Development. One of the greatest of our conservation problems is the wise and prompt development of the Twin Cities, lynn as they do at the headwater of the Mississippi, are not upon the direct line of the proposed lakes to the Gulf deep waterway, but rather on the coast, where prompt completion, as well as in the deepening and regulation of the Mississippi to the mouth of the Missouri and to the gulf. The project for a great trunk of the Mississippi from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes, should not be abandoned. The lakes to the gulf deep waterway, and the development area which flow into it, should be pushed completion vigorously and without delay. In nearly every river city from St. Paul to the Gulf the water front is controlled by the railways, the United States, artificial rivers, the United States, rectly or indirectly, is under the same control. It goes without saying that (unless the people prevent it in advance) the waterways are protected by our waterways as fast as they are improved and completed; nor would I blame them. If we, the people, are supine in the waterways, the terminals are provided in every city and town on every improved waterway. terminals open under reasonable conditions to the use of every citizen, and rigidly protected by the terminals are provided in the waterways continuously, effectively, and under reasonable conditions. Unless the terminals compel the railways to co-operate with the waterways continuously, effectively, and under reasonable conditions, and the waterways once improved, the people will benefit the people who pay the bill. Adequate terminals properly controlled and open through lines by rail and boat are two absolutely essential conditions to the usefulness of inland waterway development. Inland waterway railways should be prohibited from owning, controlling, or carrying any interest in the boat lines on our rivers, unless under the strictest regulation and control of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, the Railway Clippers' interests may be fully protected. The National Forests. If any proof were needed tilt forest protection is a National duty, the recent destruction of forests in the west be far more than the army added to that of the forest service the loss has been severe. Without either it would have been vastly But the forest service does more than protect the National forests against fire, makes them practically and increasingly accessible for which I have the figures the National forests were used by 22,000 cattlemen with their herds. 5,000 sheepmen with their herds. 30,000 settlers with crews, and 45,000 miners. More than 8,000 persons used them for other special industries. Nearly 34,000 settlers had herds. The population of the National forests is about a quarter of a million, which is larger than the population of certain rural lands. The rural lands are a cultural land have been patented or listed for patent within the forests, and the reports of the forest officers show that the forests have a value of at least $100 million, using the forests for recreation, camping, hunting, fishing, and similar purposes. All this is done, of course, without injury to the timber, and has a value of at least $100 million. The National forests protect the water supply of a thousand cities and towns, about 800 irrigation projects, and more than 100,000 acres used for the use of water for these and other purposes by individual settlers. The investigations of the Country Life Commission have led the farmers of this country to realize that they have not been able to meet all that it brings. Some of our farming communities in the Mississippi valley and the surrounding areas have not progress, yet even the best of them, like The Yawn Cure There is nothing that will rest you so quickly to sit on a straight-back chair and, lifting the feet from the floor, push them out in front of you as far as possible, stretch the arms, put the head back, open the mouth wide, and make yourself yawn—Family Doctor. Not Knocking Her Mrs. Goodsole (at the party)—What a lovely girl! And still in her teens, isn't she? Tartum—Yes; her velvetteens. As a people we have not yet learned to economize. One of the virtues we Americans most need is money, but the luxury and extravagance are not good for a Nation. So far as they affect character, the loss they cause must be beyond computation. The material loss greater than is caused by both extravagance and luxury put together. I mean the loss we are making to our people from premature death and avoidable diseases. Wholly apart from the grief, the suffering, and the wretchedness each year has been calculated at nearly twice what it costs to run the Federal government. In addition to the state and federal taxes, there is currently needed a Federal bureau of health, to act, so far as the National government properly may, to relieve our people from the dreadful burdens. National Conservation Commission. One of the most important meetings in our recent history was that of the governors in the white house in May, 1983, to commemorate the conservation of the river. The meeting was followed by the appointment of a National conservation commission. The meeting of the governors directed the attention of the commission, including also could have done, while the work of the commission gave the movement defenitance and supplied it with a practical program. But at the moment when the commission was formed for putting its program into effect an amendment to the Sundry civil service bill was introduced by a congressman from Minnesota with the purpose of putting the congress passed the amendment. Its object was to put an end to the work of a number of commissions, which had been appointed by the public welfare had been simply incalculable. Among these were the commission for reorganizing the business methods of the government of the country. Life, commission, and the National conservation commission itself. When I signed the Sundry civil service bill containing this amendment, the official act a memorandum declaring that the amendment was void, because it was an unconstitutional interference with the rights of the executive, and that if I were to remain president I would pay to it no compensation. The National conservation commission therefore became dawn. The suspension of its work came at a most unfavorable time, and it proved that the progress already made would be lost. At this critical moment the National conservation association was organized. The organization would have been done, and it exceeded a most useful influence in preventing bad legislation, in securing the introduction of better conservation measures, in promoting the passage of wise laws. It deserves the confidence and support of every citizen interested in the wise development and progress of the country, and in preventing them from passing into the hands of uncontrolled monopolies. It joins with the National conservation congress in holding a joint invitation of both. Pan-American Construction. When the government of the United States awoke to the idea of conservation and saw that it was good, it lost no time in communicating the advantages of the conservation effort to the boro among the nations. A North American conservation conference was held in Washington, and the co-operation of the United States and the boro enabled of developing the resources of the continent for the benefit of its people was asked and promised. The nations upon which they were based wisely realized that their opportunity to conserve the natural resources was better than ours, because with them destruction and monopolization had not gone so far. We are now in the process of republics of Central and South America. Obviously they are on the verge of a period of great material progress. The United States is now in the process of their forests, their mines, their water, and their soils—will create enormous wealth. It is to the mutual interest of the United States and can republics that this development should be wisely done. Our manufacturing industries offer a market for more and more raw materials, while they will increasingly desire to meet that demand in commercial exchange. The more we buy from the United States, the whole world will realize, that normally our prosperity is inseparably involved with our own. Thank heaven, we of this continent are now beginning to realize, that we are now pleased to see our prosperity in Canada, in Mexico, in South America. Unless the governments of all the American republics, including our own, enact in time such laws as will both protect their natural wealth and promote responsible development, our generation will most importantly to us of today.

We owe it to ourselves and to them to give the American republics all the help we can. The cases in which we have failed should be no less instructive than the cases in which we have failed. This provoking action and good will the task of providing the resources for the people is full of hope for us all. State and Federal Control. State and Federal Control. But while we of the United States are aware of the importance of assistance to others, there are problems of our own which we must not overlook. One of the most important conservation questions of the moment relates to the state's interest in the public interest. There is apparent to the judicious observer a distinct tendency on the part of our opponents to seek to limit the state as against federal jurisdiction. We are ready to meet that issue if it is forced upon us. But there is no hope for the plain people in such conflicts of jurisdiction to have any special interests in the state or hair-splitting legal technicalities. It is simply this: Who can best regulate the special interests for the public good? The state has the special interests in the state or have interstate or have interstate affiliations. Therefore they are largely out of reach of effective state control, and fall of necessity in the case of the prime objects of those among them that are grasping and greedy is to avoid any effective control either by state or control, and the specific state control only because they believe it to be the least effective. In the great fight of the people to drive the special interests from the domination of our government, the state is more effective than jurisdiction is more effective than that of any state. The most effective weapon against these great corporations, most of which are financed and owned by the state, is the federal executive. That is why I so strongly oppose the demand to turn these matters over to the states. The state is the most effective interest of the plain people, of the small means, against the interest of our children and our children's children; and it is the interest of the interest of corporations which desire to escape all government control. The Conservation Flight. On of the difficulties in putting into practice the conservation idea is that the field to which it applies is constantly growing in the public mind, that has been made possible a great conception like that of conservation, and convince them that it is right. This much we have accomplished, the much we have cleared up, and many misunderstandings to be removed. These misunderstandings are due in part at least to direct misunderstanding, and many interests it is that conservation should not prosper. For example, we find it constantly said by men who should know that the withdrawals of coal lands, will permanently check development. Yet the fact is that these withdrawals have no purpose except to allow the land to into private ownership until concessions can pass laws to open them to development under conditions just alike to the public and to the men Abuses committed in the name of a junt cause are familiar to all of us. Many unwise things are done in the name of conservation, either through ignorance, or by those whose interest lion not in protecting the move of animals to a stop water power development by needless refusal to issue permits for water power or private irrigation. We are aware that many of the many men, friendly to conservation and believers in its general principles, to assume that its practical application would not be more important. Nothing could be more mistaken. The idea, widely circulated of late, that conservation means lecking up of the natural resources for the purposes of agriculture, could be more mistaken. Our purpose is to make full use of these resources, but to consider our sons and daughters in the same way we use his farm in ways to preserve its future usefulness. Conservation is the road to national efficiency and it stands for ample and wisely managed resources. But in spite of these difficulties, most of which are doubtless inevitable in any movement of this kind, conservation has made marvelous progress. We have delighted on my return from abroad at the progress made while I was away. We have a right to congratulate ourselves on this marvelous progress; but there is no reason for this, because the beginning the special interests, who are our chief opponents in the conservation fight, paid little heed to the movement, because they underestimated the loss. But with the progress of conservation in the minds of our people the fight is getting sharper. The nearer we approach to victory, the bittersweet the greater the need for caution and watchfulness. Open opposition we can overcome, but I warn you especially against the men who come to congresses such as the United Nations, because but actually as the paid agents of the special interests. I heartily approve the attitude of any corporation, interested in the deliberations of a meeting such as the United Nations, but its openly accredited agents, views which it believes the meeting should have in mind. But I condemn with equal readiness the appearance of a corporate agent who does not declare himself frankly as such. This congress is a direct appeal to the patriotism of our whole people. The nation wisely look out for leadership. Let that leadership be sound, definite, practical, and on the side of all the people. It would be no small misfortune if a meeting such as this were a better home for the race, but our duty does not stop there. We must also work for a better nation to live in this better land. The development and conservation of our natural character must hand in hand with the development and conservation of our natural resources, which the governor's conference so well called the foundation, we may make as a nation, whatever wealth we may accumulate, however far we may push mechanical development and production, we may make it so that we can depend in the last analysis on anything but honesty, courage, loyalty, and good citizenship. The homely virtues are the lasting virtues, and the road to genuine and lasting success. What this country needs is what every free country must set before it as the great goal towards which we work in our country for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for every one of its citizens. To achieve this end we must put a stop to the improper political dominion no longer than to the improper economic dominion no longer than to the improper interests. This country, its natural resources, its natural advantages, its opportunities and its institutions, belong to all and are freely under any government in which the special interests as such have a voice. The supreme political task of our day, the indispensable condition of our society, is to drive the special interests out of our public life. One Thing Certain.

When King Alfred the Great was reigning over England, a thousand years ago, school children pondered over problems in arithmetic much as our boys and girls do now.

It means independence, often affluence, Dut certainly independence. Calling at a farm house, near one of ‘the numerous thriving towns of Al- bderta, in Western Canada, the writer ‘was given a definition of “indepen: dence” that was accepted as quite original. The broad acres of the farm- ‘er's land had a crop—and a splendid one, too, by the way—ripening for the Teapers’ work. ‘The evenness of the ‘crop, covering field after field, attract- ed attention, as did also the neatness of te surroundings, the well-built sub- stantial story-and-e-half log house, and ‘the well-rounded sides of the cattle. ‘His broken English—he was a French Canadian—was easily understandable and pleasant to listen to.

There is more straw and It has heay- fer heads than ours in Wisconsin. “This is just the kind of land we are looking for. We are all used to mixed farming and the land we have seen is finely adapted to that sort of work. Cattle, hogs, horses and grain will be my products, and for the live stock, prospects could not be better. I have never seen such cattle as are raised here on the wild prairie grasses and the vetch that stands three or four feet high in tho groves and on the open prairle, Sir Wilfred Laurier Talks to Amer ieans.

Now, that the election is drawing near, our people in the Twin Cities are being looked upon. And they know why. The white man wants your vote. Do you know its value? Are you willing to promiscuously present it to him? Consider carefully, and act accordingly! You should know its worth. They have disfranchised negroes in certain parts for this reason,—that his vote was his defense. If properly exercised, this right which you hold, will place in power the men, who can help you, if they keep promises after election. The days of reconstruction are past. The negro is in his "Era o' Political Freedom." Vote for your personal interest, and you will vote for your race's welfare. This does not mean "a small sum of money," but for the men who stand for the principles of right. Assert your individuality, regardless of party. The negro has been the automatic property of the Republicans, without fair compensation, and has not given his support to Democrats, who have individually, helped his race. "Right of suffrage" is your only constitutional right. Be not bound to a party. The party of a few years ago may be different today. The principles of yesterday are changed today. The candidate who stands for right and justice to all men, regardless of color or conditions, who knows the policies of Lincoln and Grant, and lives up to them. Who does not recite history, but promises to give to your people their share of consideration after election, is the man you should vote for. DO YOU KNOW HIM? PRIMARY ELECTION SEPT. 20. Where are all of our Colored Politicians? "There ain't going to be no core." DON'T "cast your cards before Ax Grinders! They'll turn around and Cut you. Advertise in the Twin City Star!" Dan. C. Brown has no opposition for City Controller before the primaries. That's controlling some. Remember Crawford, the candidate for County Attorney. Colored men want to enjoy homes where they are able to buy them. Night-riders don't go here. All roads lead to the Twin Cities this week. Why didn't the President receive more applause? He's a spell-binder. We haven't the report of the delegation of colored new (waters), who waited on Roosevelt at the St. Paul hotels neither from the capital employees—or railroad porters, who were in touch with him. But we know they were well received. They were our race's representatives in these parts. Where were the "Big Leaders?" If it's in the Star, it's right. W. M. N. Crawford, the republican candidate for nomination as County Attorney, is the man, who was one of the "agitators" in the Prospect Park deal. He will be remembered for his actions. He did not want colored residents in that section, and yet he wants their vote. We do not want such men invested with power. They are dangerous enough as citizens. NEW SUBSCRIBERS. We are glad to add to our subscription list, some of the best of our white citizens. This paper was produced for 10 issues without their support. Now, that they see that it is interesting and that the rights of the Negro will be championed, and that they are being shown in their true light they are beginning to Sit up—Take notice and READ. PRIMARY ELECTION SEPT. 20. We are pleased to accept exchange of Topeka Plaindealer, and Denver Independent, the latter a new journal which is full of news and choice editorials. The independent has our best wishes. The colored vote of Minneapolis is "a power" in this election. Sheriff Langum and Registrar Skog have no opposition. This speaks well for them. John Day Smith, W. E. Hale and Jas. A. Kellogg are the Grand Army candidates for the District bench. Mayor Haynes has an opponent in the Democratic ranks. The Democratic Lemon, the candidacy for Governorship, is still untouched. Did the Spanish War Veterans know that Roosevelt was their comrade? It seems not. Al. J. Smith, the present County Attorney has filed for renomination. He won't get it. He didn't want the Fight Pictures to show a "Nigger beating a white man." Roosevelt came, saw, talked, and left, but he said nothing about us. Show your strength, by your vote. Political Candidates Political Candidates NELS OLSON. Candidate for Republican Nomination for the Legislature in 42nd Dist. Nels Olson, of the firm of Johnson and Olson, grain dealers, announces his candidacy to the people of the 42nd Dist. He is respected by all, and is one of the oldest business men of the Eleventh Ward, being a resident there for 32 years. He has arisen from the ranks of labor and always has been a staunch advocate of the working people, but has never before aspired to political office. He asks the consideration of the colored residents of his district. He is one of the oldest business men in the Eleventh ward, and has been a resident there for more than 20 years. He resides at 109 Thirteenth avenue south, while his business is located at 1203 Fourth street south. No man has a larger or more creditable and honorable acquaintance in the ward or district, and to none could the interests there be more safely intrusted for proper and adequate representation in the Minnesota House of Representatives. FRANK L. MORRISON. Republican Candidate for County Attorney. Mr. Frank L. Morrison announces his candidacy for the nomination as County Attorney. He will not knock any other candidate, and places him self before the colored people on his record. He is well known among them and believes he stands we among them and has convinced the that color, race, or religion cuts a figure with him. His belief is that "All men are equal" and that "A laws apply to all alike." CANDIDATE FOR SCHOOL DIRE Mr. E. J. Westlake Mr. Westlake has filed for nomination as school director. The color voters of this city should feel that tha have in Mr. Westlake an old ti friend, and a man who has done mu good for our people. He has alws championed our rights and as this our chance to show our appreciate We feel that every one should take active interest in his candidacy. T question of equal education to without segregation or prejudice, of utmost importance at this time. vote for Mr. Westlake means a protion of our interest. His record in railroad service and the Commercial Club demands the support of every colored citizen.-Ed. JAS. A. KELLOGG. Republican Candidate for Judge of District Court. Jas. A. Kellogg was born December 12, 1849, Huron Co., Ohio, and spent his early days on a farm. Served during the Civil war in 4th Ind. Vet. Vol. Infantry, was educated at Hillsdale, Mich., where he graduated from High school and College. Admitted to prac tice law in Mich., where he spent 15 years, served as Court Commissioner and County Attorney. Practiced law in Minneapolis since 1887. He asks the colored people of this district for their vote, and if elected, will administer justice to all. H. M. OLSON. Republican candidate for nomination for State Senator, Forty-second District, comprising the 7th, 11th and 12th wards and the south part of Hennepin county. Mr. Olson is one of those ambitious young men who owes his advance to pluck and hard work. He spent fifteen years on a Minnesota farm, earning his first hundred dollars as a plowboy at 50 cents a day. He worked his own way through the Academic and Law Colleges of the University and has been admitted to the practice of law in Minnesota. Himself a self-made man, he is a man of the common peo ple, and stands above all for a square deal to labor. He has a host of friends in the district who are giving him loyal support. Mr. Olson resides at 3052 10th Ave. So. His office is at 515 Security Bank Bldg. JUDGE C. L. SMITH. Judge Smith of the Municipal Court is a Candidate for Judge of the District Court. He is well known to the colored people of Minneapolis. He graduated at the University of Illinois in 1882, and at the Albany law school in 1885. He then moved to Minneapolis, where he has since resided. When elected to the municipal court bench, Judge Smith led the entire city ticket, and will undoubtedly be a strong factor in the coming primaries. His education, experience and impartiality are evidences of his fitness or the position and his attitude towards the colored citizens of our city demands their united support. FRANK E. HAYCOCK. County Surveyor, and Republican Candidate for Re-election. Hennepin county is fortunate in having the important office of surveyor filled by one of the most competent in the profession. The office of County Surveyor in Hennepin county requires a civil engineer skilled in road building, bridge building and land surveying. The county contains in area 512 square miles outside of the city of Minneapolis and has 625 miles of county roads and 166 bridges, the care and maintenance of which comes under the supervision of the county or and he is required by law to annually to the Board of Commissioners their condition, also plans and specifications for building of new bridges and for id improvements, such as mazing, graveling and grading by the county, also prepare plans specifications for all dredging of and channels, building dams, and ferries on Lake Minnetonso survey and lay out all new and superintend the construc- lake improvement work done by the county, also make all surveys of property registered under the Torrence System of Registration required, which requires great skill as a land surveyor, as the Court decrees in such registration are based on such surveys. Mr. Haycock is 51 years of age and a native of Minnesota, has lived in Minneapolis nearly all his life, he is a civil engineer and surveyor by profession and has practiced his profession in Minneapolis for the past 30 years, during which time he served 6 years as deputy county surveyor and in 1906 was elected county surveyor which experience has made him familiar with every county road and bridge in the county, and also the most up to date road and bridge construction required and most familiar with all the land marks and property lines in the city and whole county, all of which experience especially qualifies him for the position he now holds and his candidacy for re-election is receiving the support of the best people of Hennepin county and we join in expressing the hope that he will be re-elected. JAMES ROBERTSON, Candidate for Republican Nomination for County Attorney. Mr. Robertson, is a member of the legal profession, who has arisen to his present position from the ranks of the tollers. He was born in Hellen, Ont., Oct. 21, 1866 and has resided in Minneapolis since 1886. He acquired his legal education, under most ad- verse circumstances, and only by the exercise of most rigid economy, working on the Minneapolis Tribune in the composing room and attending the University Law School. He was si- persistent and studious that he was admitted to the bar in April 1893. Today it is admitted that there is no better practitioner at the Hennepin County Bar, and he has been very successful in his pleadings in the Sup- reme Court. He has never before aspired to any political office, yet always taken active interest in public affairs. He was president of the Eighth Ward Republican Association from 1904 to 1906, was a member of the Republican County Committee from 1906 to 1910, and has been for the past two years Secretary of that Committee. He is a member of the Masonic Order, the Elks, the K. of P. and several prominent clubs. He owns his home at 2509 Harriet Ave., where he and his interesting family, consisting of a wife and two daughters are most pleasantly domiciled. He is now connected with the grim of Mead and Robertson, 406 Globe Bldg. There is not the slightest doubt of Mr. Robertson's ability to conduct the affairs of the county attorney's office capably and to the best interests of all citizens. In all his business dealings he has always proven faithful, honorable and honest, never swerving one iota from the path of rectitude and at all times giving his best services to his clients. There will be little doubt of his nomination as county attorney the colored voters will bear him in mind and attend the primaries. ERNEST LUNDEEN. Candidate for Republican Nomination for Representative of Forty-second Legislative District—Seventh, Eleventh, Twelfth Wards and County. Mr. Lundeen says: "I believe in progressive Republican policies, direct election of United States sen- ators and state-wide primaries, mak- ing it possible for the people to nomi- nate the highest as well as the hum- bblest office holders." Mr. Lundeen is a lawyer by profession and a Spanish American War veteran. His office is 218 Bank of Commerce Bldg. T. S. Phone 1095. C. A. NIMOCKS Republican Candidate for County Auditor. C. A. Nimocks will install a new system of book-keeping if elected. He is a well known citizen of Minneapolis, and has been employed by the city on several occasions to check their accounts. He has had twenty years' experience as a tax expert. BARNEY ANDERSON. Knowing that I am not able to see you personally, I take this means of telling you that I have decided to become a candidate for the office of County Commissioner for the Second Commissioner District, comprising the 6th, 7th, 11th and 12th Wards. I have lived in the city twenty-five years and in the district twenty years. I have been in the wood and coal business sixteen years; with yards located in the 7th and 11th Wards. At present my main office is at No. 1010 8th Street South. I have made a success in my own business and I feel confident that if I am elected County Commissioner I will be able to bring to the office valuable business experience, and I pledge you and the good people of the district to give my best services to the county and always stand for square business methods. If you approve my candidacy I shall be very glad to have your valuable support. Thanking you for such favors as you may see fit to bestow, I beg to remain. Yours truly, Barney Anderson.
