The Pioneer(Bemidji, MN) Saturday Page 2 March 7, 1908
   We note by the Grand Rapids Independent that
George Riddell has been nominated as a candidate
for president of the village council at that 
place. At the caucus held Wednesday evening, Mr.
Riddell won the nomination by a vote of 252
against 69 for a Mr. Erskine, with 38 votes
scatttering. This is a flattering endorsement of
Mr. Riddell as head of the municipal government
of Grand Rapids and it is well deserved. The
writer has known Mr. Riddell for a number of
years, and we know him to be well worthy of the
honor which is bestowed upon him by people of
the "Rapids." He is broad-minded and conservative
and possesses most excellent judgment--qualities
which should be possessed by the head of any
municipality.
