A QUIET ELECTION _Indication That Caucus Ticket Wins In Te-Day’s Village Electlon. CONTEST HAS BEEN SPIRITED BUT GOOD NATURED Light Vote Polled and Inter- ‘est Evinced Was Not Up To General Fxpectation. The village election in Bemidji today was far from being the spirited affair which the prelim- inaries which were warm at times presaged. Contrary to general expectations election day was not marked by the enthusiasm which had been generally expected and the indications at present are that the caucus ticket has_been elected throughout by safe ma- Jjorities. The day has been an ideal one and those directly interested in the outcome were abroad early this morning. The saloons of the city were all closed at five o’clock and will not be re-opened _antil eight 6’clock this—evening. Business generally suffered the usual interruption and taken all in all it has been a quict day about the city. The polls were opened at 10 o’clock and there were good crowds at both polling places when the clerks cried the open- ing. The balloting was brisk for a time, but there was a lull about noon which caused the wise ones to predict a light vote. At 12 o’clock 265 votes were cast and it was generally predicted that the vote would be light. At the polls everything was orderly Challengers for a time added diversion to the voting and there were several spirited set tos be- tween the contending factions, but after the excitement that at- tended the opening of the polls had been subsided everything proceeded very quietly. The election did not develope any individual contests with the: WILL STEIN BE IT Cass Lake Village Election Today Will Be Quiet, One Sided Affair. Cass Lake is also haying a vil- lage election today, but itis not attended by the interest that the village election is in Bemidji. Mayor Stein was renominated by the caucus and will no doubt suc- | s ceed himself as chief executive of the village although there was talk at a late hour last night of opposition. Most of the old board of trustees will be re- elected and the election is ex- pected to pass off very quietly. Heap Fake. That $150,009 left to J. H.

CONWAY'S COMMER CIAL COLLEGE exception of the contest for jus- tice of the peace which was made more interesting than the ordi- nary by the candidacy of M. G. Slocum, who brought his person- ality to the fight and rallied friends from both sides. Mr. Pendergast’s friends were firm, however; and the contest while it made lots of fun for Mr. Slocum’s friends and was claimed to be the closest event of the day, was good natured throughout. The voters will celebrate the event tonight. 1 he Independent band has been engaged and there will be music and mirth until a late hour. The outcome of the clection was generally antici- pated. Mr. Stoner’s defeat was conceded by himself and his friends early this morning and is not a disappointment. Mr. Stoner this morning stated that he had believed himself de- feated ever since Mayor Luding- ton announced his candidacy. He eulogized Mr. Ludington’s worth and stated that he appreciated the efforts of his friends and said that the city was sure of a good administration at the hands of the council elected. He had entered the fight in good faith and stayed to th>end. Atthe time his candidacy was an- nounced he had sincerely be- lieved that Mr. Ludington would not be a candidate, but after the efforts of his friends had been en- listed in his behalf he had not felt that ‘he could withdraw in Jjustice to them: The newly elected city officers must qualify within ten days and probably all will formally qualify next Monday night. The elec tion of the caucus ticket insures the retention”in service of the present police force and is con- sidered a great victory by their friends. essoeeeoces SHORT MEMORY Man Named Mulligan Believed to Be in Bemidji Who Beat Board \ Bill at St. Cloud.

Mr. Hannifin’s busi- ness interests in this city are considerable and he does not feel at present that he can afford to enter an active campaign such as would be necessary to land the position. He retives gracefully from the field and states that he fully appreciates the many kind J words given voice by his friends in urging him to become a candi- date and the gratifying encour- agement he reccived in home counties. He will devote his time exclu- sively to his business interests in the future and beleives that he will be sufficiently occupied to prevent him from wishing for the uncertain diversions which come with 1)(|11t1m.l preferrment.

Mrs. Kruger, of Crookston, has a very tender conscience. Yesterday she wrote Frank Bell, the Great Northern station agent, a very interesting letter. Some twelve years ago the Kruger fam- ily needed some wood very badly and found a telephone pole on the Great Northern right of way which had been replaced by a new one. They appropriated the pole, which was useless for any- thing else than wood. The qualms of conscience were too great, and yesterday Mrs.Kruger confessed saying that “the Lord would not lallow her longer to be silent.” She enclosed 25 cents tc pay for the pole and also a few tracts for Agent Bell’s perusal.
