CANDIDATE FOR PROBATE JUDGE DANIEL WAITE Daniel Waite, Candidate for Probate Judge of St. Louis County has been a resident and tax payer of this County for over 30 years and, although never before a candidate for public office, is being supported by many voters who feel that a change in this office is desirable. Mr. Waite promises that if elected he will inaugurate much needed reforms that will guarantee greatly reduced expenses in administering small estates and promptness in final settlements. His legal and financial experience have well fitted him for the duties of this office, having practised law in Duluth for many years and at present being employed by the National Banking Department of the U. S. Government as Receiver of the First National Bank of Biwabik.
