Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR 1904 MARCH 1904 PUBLIC OFFICE FOR PRIVATE PROFIT. It is a singular fact that those who are pushing the candidacy of P. J. Russell for mayor s>ldom mention his name. They offer no reasons why Mr. Russell should be elected; they send their entire energies in abtémpt.ing to create prejudices which will force voters to the supportof their ticket. This is invariable the manner ~of campaign waged by men whose sole aim is to benefit themselves by confrolling the administrative offices of the city. Were they earnest for the public weal they would set forth the advantages of their ticket to the public; they would offer reasons why the election of their candidates would be best for the city. But know- ing that the election of their can- didates will be best for no one but their individual selves they resort rather to abuse, misrep- resentation and evasion. They do mnot appeal to reason but to prejudice. Itisa a fact well known to every citizens of this city that the few individuals who are ac- tively supporting the candidacy of Mr. Russell for mayor have sought to pledge to themselves practically every man who has been mentioned for office. The ticket headed by Mr. Russell is to be used for their benefit, and for nought else and they have publicly so announced. On the other hand Mr. Stoner if elected mayor will be absolutely free to act as judgment dictates as best for the city. With the exception of the demand upon him by L. H. Bailey Mr: Stoner has never been so much as solicited to give any assurance whatever as to his course of action in any matter whatever should he be clected mayor. Every man who stands upon the ticket with Mr. Stoner _is equally free from promises or pledges direct or in- direct. One party demands personal pledges of its candidates; the other puts forward men for office who are pledged to nothing but to promote the best business in- terests of the city. Every citizen _ must decide whether he will serve the former or choose the latter to serve him. be elected to office men who are free from promises to any man. Three times they have attempted to force the present administra- tion to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. They failed to force the present administration to stand for re-election upon their plat- form; they failed in their dodge of cloaking their designs under a “third ticket,” a‘‘business man’s ticket” and they will fail in this attempt to force good men to their defense. THE newspapers of Bemidji which advocate the election of Mr. Russell as against Mr, Stoner as mayor of Bemidji for the ensuing year are devoting columns of space to charges of blackmail, villification, etc. Their every issue teems with this sort of argument. Tons on tons of dirt they allege are being cast upon Mr. Russell and his sup- porters and we believe they say the truth. But thsy cannot point to a single speck cast by the Pioneer or by the supporters of Mr. Stoner. They are doing the job themselyes and after the manner of experts. GITY POLITIGS The heelers are being herded and if every thing goes all right it is said the bars will be let down and the cows may stray in the clover. The city election will occur one week from today. The campaign will necessarily be short but the greatest agony is often the short- est duration. W. L. Brooks today authorizes the statement that he will be a candidate to succeed himself to the office of city treasurer: Mr. Brooks has made a-good record during the past year and so far no opposition has been developed to his candidacy. Col, J. P. Tayor, proprietor of the Columbia Saloon, is being prominently mentioned as a can- didate for trustee. In the event the saloon men decide that they will name a man to represent their interests in the council dur- ing the coming year, it is said that Col. Taylor will be their choice. A local paper claims the dis- tinction of bringing out P. J. Russell as a candidate for mayor. The paper’s claim is said to be very distastful to Mr. Russell's friendsand is not enthusiastically received by himself, nor by the Beltrami County News ~which first publicly broached the Rus- sell candidacy. The outcome of the city election it is said will have quite an im- portant bearing on the guberna- torial contest in Beltrami county. The local John Kilrain, of the newspaper bunch is already bearing his brawny shoulders to bear the burden of the glory and is said to have signed, sealed and delivered the Bailey faction for a petty larceny consideration to certain interests in St. Paul. The same faction has a reputation of being balded headed and it 1s said will stand without hitching. There is no mistakiag the fact that the candidacy of M. D. Stoner is growing in public favor. The Stoner campaign has so far VAAAY NEWS{N rrom THE; COUNTR TURTLE RIVER Party of Landseekers From South- ern Part of State Are Looking Qver That Country. S. D. Works, the well known lumberman, has a party of land- seekers in town today who are to spend some time looking over the country up the northline. They will spend some time in the vicin- ity of Turtle River and are ex- pected to make some heavy in- vestments in the lands in that vicinity. Allare wealthy retired farmers and business men from the old sections of southern Min- nesota who are looking for de- sirable investments in cheap farming lands. They will no doubt be induced to acquirehold- ings in the Turtle River country. Picking Up a Good Bunch. The Northern Pacific tie in- spectors who are going over the north line have already placed their o, k. on 120,000 ties between Northome and Bemidji and ex- pect to take up quite a few more. The prospects at present are that the second inspection will be much larger than the first. B plays. Mr. Stoner made an early announcement, without guibbling or touches of the bashful maiden character. The favor with it was generally accepted is best evi- denced by the violent casting about and the early campaign of: misrepresentationwhich hasbeen ! instituted against him. Mr. Russell’s. personal popularity cannot be questioned, but there are many who respect him as a genial gentleman who do not favorably receive his candidacy for mayor with its present affi- liations. Whatever else may have been charged against Mr. Stoner itis yet to be said by any one whois responsible that the halter of any man is about his neck. The sentiment for Mr. Stoner is growing and those violently opposed to him some time ago and who freely pre- dicted for his candidacy a deci- sive defeat have now lowered their sights and conceded that the contest will be close. This is a big adnission for the present season of the year and the pros- pect of an early spring. fimfifififi FROM | COUNTRY Lw&&u.&.& This is no time to urge us nov to lose our grip. Hibbing wants to star it on a route to Koochiching. Norval Baptie is skating through the north country news- papers at a great rate.

Hibbing, Ieb. 29.--George Lammers, brother-in-law of Michael Kline, who died in a log- ging camp the result of having hot coffee poured into his ear, is endeavoring to apprehend the cook and bring him to trial Lammers claims to have four witnesses to prove that the cook knocked Kline down and then poured the hot beverage into his ear. Kline was a carpenter in the camp and had been working there for a number of weeks. After the accident he w brought into Hibbing one day aud placed in the Adams hospital. Cerebral meningitis set in and his death followed a few days later. The cook, it is-said, fled from the camp immediately after the altercation and has not been seen since. He went under the name of Theodore Macshire, which is alleged to be an alias. The des- cription of the fugitive has been sent to police offiicials over the country but there is not much hope of apprehending him as he got a good start before the facts in the case were made knewn. eeeroocrecsoresie that town.

The Pioneer is-an-excellent daily and a credit to the town. P. H. McGarry: Beats allhow you get onto things that are going on up the north line in the Pioneer.

Hannifin: I have not definitely made up my mind as'to whether I will be a candidate for railroad commissioner or not. | My final decision will be made in |a few days. C. W. Baumbach: Everybody outside of Bemidji seems to be interested in the town. Don’t think you have any 1dea here how much attention you attract from the world at large. It’s always a pleasure to tell inauiring people that it is the best town in this section of the country. Thought to be in the Last Stages of Consumption, Mrs. Minerva Burgess, of Byars, 1I1,, says; I have justre- ceived the White Wine of Tar. We think there is no medicine like it. It cured me when I was thought to be in the last stages of consumption. I will always recomend it to those that have any disease of the lungs. PROFESSIONAL ..CARDS.. Jay L.
