ELECTION IS NOW ON Contest Between Candidates Being Decided by Voters Today. VOTE IN BEMIDJI WILL BE LIGHTER THAN EXPECTED. Vigorous Methods Being PurSued by Candidates For Some Offices, The vesult of mnearly two months of strenuous tighting, po- litically, by the candidates for the different offices in Beltrami county is being decided today by the voters and when the morrow dawns the outcome of the elec- tion in most instances will be known. . In the two wards of the vil- lage of Bemidji about 550 votes had been st up to 0 this afternoon, and the indications at that time were that the total vote cast in this city would be about 700. This 1s somewhat lighter than was expected in view of the ideal weather which has been prevalent during the entire day.

The poils will be kept open un til 6 o’clock after which the count- ing of the ballots will commence. Arrangements have been made by some of the enterprising busi- ness men of the city to receive the complete election returns from different parts of the state and conntry of the result of the presidential and gubernatorial fights. BIG SUCCESS Republican Rally at Tenstrike Last Night Attended by Large Crowd. The republican rally held last night at Jacobson’s hall in Ten- strike was the most largely at- tended function ever pulled off in that town and the hall was liter- ally packed with interested, at- tentive people who listened to the speeches made by those who expounded the cause of republi- canism. A short address was made by Edward Crawford, his remarks receiving hearty ap- plause from those in attendance, after which L. H, Bailey and Henry Funkley talked to the peo- ple on republican principles. They both were well received and the liberal applause that greeted them evidenced the hearty ap- preciation with which repubii- canism is met. The Bemidji Glee Club rendered several fav- orite selections and was heartily applanded. A large number of local politicians and candidates for office attended the meeting. PRINCESS Grocery Co.

Test for Damages on Account of Loss of Vessel. Wnsningtou, Nov. 8.—Chief Justice Fuller, in the United States supreme court, announced that the court had refused a writ of certiorari in the case of the Pacific Mail Steamship com- pany vs. Sarah Guyon. The case in- volved thc question of damages on ac- count of the wreck of the :assenger steamer City of Rio de Janeiro, which sank off the Golden Gate at San Fran- cisco in 1901, carrying down 120 per- sons, including Consul General Wild- man. The case was a test one and it was charged that although twenty minutes time elapsed after the signal to lower boats'before the catastrophe occurred only one boat was floated. This the steamship company claimed was due to the fact that, as many members of the crew were Chinese, they could not understand the orders given them, but the court refused to limit liability on this account. The purpose of the petition for a writ of certiorarl was to bring the case to the supreme court for review and the de- nial has the effect of making final the decision of the circuit court of appeals for the Ninth circuit, which was favor- able to the passengers.
