They include a procession headed by a brass band, speeches by prominent cit- izens at the park, and the usual of the; pared their arguments in the case and it is_ expected that Gov. Johnson will take action shortly after the hearing has been con- cluded. It is the general opinion in Be- midji that the chief executive will be eminently fair in deciding whether or not the evidence 1s sufficient to warrant the removal of the two commissioners, and friends of Messrs. Wright and Sibley are confident that they will be allowed to remain in office. R. A. Stone, who represented the state at the investigation held in Bemidji, will also be allowed to present his arguments before Gov. Johnson at the hearing to. morrow.

During the afternoon the Sol- way band marched through the streets discoursing music at various street corners and the music was fully appreciated. The program proper began at the city hall at 8 o’clock. Long before the speakers began their addresses the hall was well filled and when the first spea.ker, Henry Funkley, appeared, it was crowded. Mr. Funkley spoke in the English langunage and his re- marks were confined toa defini- tion of what the meaning of in- dependence truly was. His ad- dress was short but to the point and received much applause, Judge O. M. Skinvik followed with a speechin the -Norwegian language in which he gave a his- tory of Norway and the trials and tribulations through which the country passed before gain ing her independence from the Swedes. Dr. Christianson of Cass Lake was the next speaker on the bro gram. Mr. Christianson also spoke in Norwegian and gave a very pleasing and delightful ad- dress. Peer O. Stromme of Minne- apolis, a speaker of national re- pute, who had been engaged to speak at the meeling, xled to appear and some werd disap- pointed, but the speeches™of the local men amply made up for his absence. The Solway band rendered a number of delightful selections during the intervals between the speeches, and a vocal quartette made up from the membership af the band sang the national airs of Norway. . The Local Norwegian male quartette, consisting of Messrs. Wilmann, Anderson, Johnson and Moe sang a number of selections in the Norwegian langunage.
