Ghe Bemidji Daily Pioneer R. W. HITCHCOCK, Mgr. Shall the People of Bemidji Rule It? ONE yery important matter is to be decided at Bemidji’s first municipal election next Tuesday. 1t is this:—Shall the people of Bemidji rule the cicy or shall the lumberjack who is here today and gone tomorrow do 1t? For years elections have been carried in this city by the voting of men who have no right to vote here. 100 to 400 illegal votes bave been cast at a single election. It was partly in the hope of remedying this evil that the people of Bmidji voted to incorpor- ate as a city and divide itself into wards that illegal voting might be rendered more difficult and contined to a smaller area. It was because of the knowledge that this would be possible that the Bailey-McDonald ring so bitterly opposed city organization, and eyen now plot to overthrow the charter. In the tirst, second and third wards a carcful canvass shows that Mr. Gibbons for mayor will receive two votes for Mr. Carter’s one, counting every doubtful vote for Mr. Carter.” In the fourth ward Mr. Gibbons will have close to one half of. the legal vote. In order, therefore for Mr. Carter to be elected he must obtain a very large illegal vote. A careful examination of the situation will show how it is proposed to do this. It is exceedingly doubtful if there are 160 logal votes in the en- tire fourth ward. Yet 194 persons have been registered, more than 80 were refused registration and it is estimated that fully as many more were deterred from offering themselves by reason of the firm stand taken by the judges on registration day. Thisgives us a grand total of about 350 persons whom it is proposed by the Bailey-McDonald ring to yole in the fourth ward next Tuesday, or an illegal vote of close to 200. This illegal vote, as repeated experience has proved, can be voted, if voted at all, solidly for the candidates that the Bailey-Mec- Donald ring selects. This illegal vote would wipe out the Gibbons majority of 150 to 175 in the rest of the city and leave a small ma- jority for Mr. Carter. That a desperate effort is being made to cast this illegal vote next Tuesday is clear to everyone who has taken an interest in the preseut campaign. Men have been boarded at various saloon res. twurants for this purpose. The proprietors of several of these places haye frankly confessed this fact as has been reported from time to time in these columns; men can not now be hired for the woods although the cry for men is urgent from the logging com- panies; the streets are full of men recently arrived from the Da- kotas on their way to the pineries and at a meeting in the McDon- ald-Carter-Daily Behindtimes-All-The-Same-Thing office Tuesday night a list of 200 of these men was prepared and divided among the workers of the ring that the men might be so coached that their illegal votes can be recorded next Tuesday to defeat the will of the people of Bemidji. We do not believe that this plot to wrest from the people of this city the power of governing themselves will succeed. The fourth ward has an election board composed of men who are re- solved to do their duty according tothe strict letter of the law. The illegal voter will register his vote with them with exceeding difficulty and with great danger to himself. Morever the substan- tial business men of this city, who are supporting the candidacy of Mr. Gibbons for mayor and the election of a business men’s ticket in the fight for good government, are resolved that lllegal voters in this city shall be put where they belong—behind the bars in state’s prison. But the plot will not succeed for a still better reason. The people of Bemidji are beginning to realize the fact that a desperate attempt is being made to wrest the management of their affairs from them and they will on Tuesday next rise in their wrath and cast such an overwhelming vote for Mr. Gibbons and the business men’s ticket that no illeeal vote which it is possible for the Bailey- MecDonald ring to cast will avail to save its candidates from defeat. Shall the people of Bemidji rule it, or shall we tamely allow the passing lumberjack to do it The issue is squarely before us. From They Want Their Jobs! In their extremity the members of the inner circle of the Bailey-McDonald ring feel reduced to the necessity of the personal appeal and they are beginning to beg for votes almost with tears in their eyes. They want their jobs. Of course. That is exactly why County Attorney McDonald is attempting to force the saloon men to vote for the Carter- All-The-Same-Thing Bailey-McDon- ald ticket: that’s why he is threatening the business men, why the county attorney and the chairman of the board of county commis- sioners are using their public offices to club voters into line, why the board of men who are not yoters is being paid, why they forged the names of election judges to a false letter, why men are being imported from vhe woods to vote next Tuesday, why a daily school for 200 illegal voters is being held, why many other outrages are being perpetrated upon the people of Bemidji. They want their jobs! The Business Men's Ticket. HERE 1s a ticket nominated by the business men of Bemidji at a mass meeting held Monday even- “ ing October 23 at Masonic Hall| and attended by nearly one hun»% dred of the prominent business men of the city. -The interests of these men are the interests of the whole city —everybody’s in- terest—laboring mab, store keep- er, liquor dealer; clerk, profes- Whatever affects the business ofa city, affects For Mayor JOHN F.

PIERCE’S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION is nof nor ever was a “patent,medicine,” but it is the carefully wrought out and thoroughly tested real prescription of a real physician in a real practice. . Dr. Pierce’s unparalleled success with this remedy was such that more wanted to use it than any one doctor could attend to in a private practice. * This induced him to manufacture it on a sufficiently liberal scale to meet the demand. By his own special processes, he ex- es and preserves the medi- freely. The nz he ingredients are: Lady’s Slipper root, Black Cohosh root, Unicorn root. Blue Cohosh root and Golden Seal root.

New Dintng Cars of the Great Northern Railway a Feature of the “Oriental Limited.” Tt is, perhaps, best to say that in every respect—china, cuisine and attendants, the dining car service of the *‘Oriensal Limited’’ is in keeping with the luxurious- ness of the remainder of this regal train, and has won, as the dining car service has always helped to win, the title, *‘The Northern Railway. The new al Limited” equals in beauty, de sign and interior furnishings anything which a first class hotel vice is really on the dining car of the “Oriental Limited.” new dining cars were built with a special purpcsein view of af- fording the most comfortable surroundings, as well as giving the traveler a unique and luxu- rious place in which to enjoy his meals. A gentleman who recent- ly made the journey to the coast from St. Paul on the “Oriental Limited”’. n speaking of the din- ing car service, said: “I have traveled on almost every important railroad in the United States, but I have yet to find one which surpasses the “Oriental Limited " in the comfort and convenience afforded the traveler. Your dining car ser- vice is excellent, the equal of any in the country, and the superior of many. I was particularly struck with the beauty of the in- terior furnighings of these din- ing cars: they are really a novelty of car architecture.” STRANGE ADVICE! Koy Dr. G. G. Green gives alert personal attentiom to his great humanitarian contract. QIn our Almanac for many years past we have given unusual adyice to those afffic- ted with coughs, colds, throat cr lun; troubles or consumption. We have tol them if they did not receive any special benefit after the use of one 75-cent size bottle of German Syrup, to consult their doctor. We did not ask them or urge them to use a large number of bettles, as is the case in the advgrtising of many other remedies. Qur cohfidence in Ger- man Syrup makes it ible for us to give such advice. We know by the ex- g:rience of over 35 years that one 75-cent ttle of German Syrup will lily re- lieve or cure the worst coughs, colds, bronchial or lung troubles—and that, evenin bad cases of consumption, one large bottle of German Syrup will work wonders.
