BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, I'S PER WEEK BALL WILL SOON OPEN Pfospects of Something Doing in Gubernatorial Contest Locally. COLLINS AND DUNN MEN ARE GETTING BUSY. Strong Natural Dunn Sentiment But Cnllins Men Are Getting Busy, The contest for the Republican gubernatorial nomination - be- tween — Robert €. Duan, of Princeton, Judge Collins, of St. Cloud and Iix - Congressman, Eddy, of Glenwood, which has been attracting a very great deal of attention around the state at large since the first of the year has sofar attracted little atten- tion in Beltrami county but the developments of the last week show that it will shortly warm up here and the indications are that there will be something do- ing from this time on. R. C. Dunn, of Princeton has a here and elsewhere are down in the yellow hook for defeat as delegates on both sides and it cannot be demnied that the situ- ation is complicated. Congressman Eddy has a few friends in this section,but suffers greatly by stories to the effect that he cannot go to the state convention with solid delegations from his old congressional dis- trict, the Seventh. A better organization of . the Dunn forces is promised for tl.e yery immediate future and there will, from present indications; be plenty of political diversion dur- ing the next few weeks. J. M. Markham returned last night from. Minneapolis® where he has been having the plans pre- pared for the new $50,000 hotcl which he is soon to erection this city. +Myr. Markham brought up the blue prints with him. The design is by Kennedy & Detweilel a well known firm of St. Pau’ architects and is very handsouie. Bids for the construction of th. building are at present being re ived.” Contractors prominent at St. Cloud and Fergus Falls expected to vistt this city nex weelk and look the plans over be fore submitting bids. A number of Minneapolisand St. Paul firms are also bidding for the job. work will probably be begun one cavation some time within the next ten «days. - Back From Minneapolis. personal acquaintance in the county-and there'is a strong nat- ural sentiment for Mr. Dunn that the knowing ones say cannot be overcome. Mr.Dunnispersonally acquainted with farmers and homesteaders in every section of the county and has many friends among those who are influential in Republican county politics. In justice to the situation at present, however, it must be stated that if organization and’ work count for anything the friends of Judge Collins have a trifle the best of the fight. & Mr. Collins friends in the county nnmber such influential} men as Charles Hayden, of Black- duck, M. D. Stoner, and"the wheel horses of the state admin- istration including L. H. Bailey of this city. A majority of the county officers are credited with favoring Mr. Dunn, but the Col- lins crowd apprar to lead in point of extravagant claims. Friends of both parties are busy with-diffexent-stories-and_each claims that the other will suffer by its friends. Mr. Dunn is unquestionably the —logical - candidate for Bel- trami county. During the days of its organization and upon every occasion when the county needed a friend at St. Paul or in the state legislature, Mr. Dunn lent his influence to fight the battles of Beltrami county and his friends are not unmindful of the fact. State patronage and local in- fluences are bemg brought to bear by the Collins managers and the judge is not without personal friends and underlings who are active in his behalf. The fight. for the delegation will no doubt be made along straight lines and it will be either a Collins or a Dunn delegation. Many who have heretofore Matt Mayer and Ted Smith who went to Minneapolis and St. Paul the firstof the weelk to.make final arrangements for the Retail Liquor Dealer’s convention in this city in June returned last night, The settlement of the special trains matter is still pnd- ing, but_a definite decision from the railroad company is expected in a few days. The Western Passenger Association of which poth the Noithern Pacific and Great Northern are members, is bound by an agreement to a rate of one and one third fares for all conventions and this is interfer- ing with the proposed special train at present. It is expected that this difficulty can be over- come, however, and the necess- ary guarantee has been given railroad companys for the train at the rate first asked. Rev. Peterson conducts$ ser- vices at Rosby tomorrow/ morn- ing. Services will be held at the Lutheran church in this city in| the evening.
