FOR MAYOR AND ) GOOD GOVERNMENT | JOTIN F. GIBBONS | X | Candidate of the united business interests of the city for mayor, one of the oldest residents and most substantial citizens of Bomidji, whose material interests are all hound up in the progress and welfare of the city ,a man who has heen straight- forward and upright in all his dealings with his fellow man, a man for whom every man can vote with the conviction that his administration of the city will be suelt as to promote in the highest degree possible the prosperity of every citizen. SLANDERS AND LIES FOR ARGUMENTS Bailey-McDonald Ring Appear to Think the People of Bemidji are all Fools and Can Be Deceived By Any Argument. The campaign of falsehood, trickery and deceit waged against the charter was as noth- ing compared to the avalanche of slander and falsehood with which the Bailey-McDonald-Anti-Char- ter-Carter-All-The - Same - Thing ring is now attempting to bury from sight the real issues of the present municipal campaign. or instance the News, for years the organ of the ring, says that Mr, Gibbons if elected mayor will establtsh a municipal court and appoint his law partner G. M. Torrance the first judge at a salary of $1800. There is no municipal court, the coun- cil must establish it if there is to be one and the tirst judge must be appointed by the governor of the state. Is his cause right who has to resort to such mis- representations? The Bailey-McDonald, ete. ring says that Gibbons should not be made mayor because the Pioneer is supporting him, and the Pioneer charged $25 per thousand for election ballots last fall. When the News, the offi- cial organ of the ring, printed the election ballots the one year that it was the official paper of the county, it charged $27.50 per thousand, Carteris $2.50 worse per thousand than Gibbons | it seems. The News this week printsa slanderous story against W. N. Bowser, one of the ablest and most conseryative councilmen Bemidiji ever had, couched in such terms that were the post office department notified of the fact the publication would be re- fused the use of the mails on the grounds of indecency. Do the people of Bemidji wanta mayor backed by such influences? By forgery and misrepresen- tation the Bailey-McDonald-Car- ter ring secur’d the signatures of election judges to a campaign circular. What respect have the people of Bemidji for men or can- didates who hope to win votes by such methods? A statement is published by the ring to the effect that Village 1 Treasurer Brooks should not be reélected because he has failed to publish a financial statement as required by law. No such statement is required by law at this time: every statement rve- quired by law has been made and flled by Mr. Brooks. What do the people of Bemidji think of such useless lying? CLEARWATER COUNTY CASE Shevlin Citizens Would En- join Commissioners From Repairing Court House. Arguments for and against the | forbid- | issting of an injunction ding the county commissioners of Clearwater county to make certain repairs to the court houvs2 at Bagley were heard before| Judge Spooner this morning and the matter was adjourned to Nov. 25, The county commissioners of Clearwater county acquired a block of land in Bagley for court house purposes and the citizens of Bagley voted to moye th2 city hall from its location at that time to the court house grounds, The city hall was moved to the court house grounds and the county commissioners by resolution pro- vided for certain 1mprovements to the building so as to fit it for court house purposes. The Shev- lin citizens asks that the county commissioners be enjoined from paying for the work, a portion of | which has already been com- pletcd on the grounds that it is wam;t the law. County Attor- \ney Teitsworth of Clearwater ?counh_v appeared for the com- missioners and Ole J. Vaule of Crookstun for the Shevlin citi- zens. Political Reception. W. A. Gould last evening ten- dered a reception to the men of the Crookston Lumber company at his home on Bemidji avenue, which was largely attended. Mr. Gould and Mr, Carter were endorsed. Forced to Jump From Windows. New York, Nov. 4—A number of occupants of a s ory tenement house at 16 Ludlow street were forced to jump from the windows of their rooms when a fire on the fourth floor cut off their escape by the stairways. Mrs. Pearl Weisgart was badly in- Jured. DRIVENTO FORGERY Bailey- McDonald Ring For- ges Names of Judges to Campaign Letter. 1ALSO ADD TO LETTER AFTER JUDGES SIGN. Appear to Be Willing to Commit Any Crime in Order to Secure Votes for Carter. I I refused to sign letter pub- lished in “Daily Times’ Noy. 2 unless the other judges signed. When I signed the names -of all the other judges were on the paper. . H. S. ANNETTE. The names of H. C. Calvert, Adam E. Otto and H. S. Annette were attached to the letter when we signed it. We were the last to sign. L. G. CROTHERS. 1. S. BOYER, 11 I refused to sign the letter so long as it contained the state- ment, “We deem the statements of the Pioneer unfair and mis- leading,” and these words were scratched out before I signed. H. S. ANNETTE. The paper which I signed dealt only with the names pre- sented to the judges by O. E. Bailey. I never gave my signa- tyre to any statement that the names offered by Mr. Gould “would no doubt be permitted to vote on election day’’ nor to any statement censuring the Pioneer, 1. S. BOYER. Such are the campaign methods of Mr. Carter’s sup- porters:—[forging the names of judges to a letter, to which ad- ditions are made after signatures are obtained, additions of which the signers knew nothing. A man whose election must be accomplished by such means is not a safe man to have at the head of Bemidji’s public affairs. MILL HAS SHUT DOWN NIGHTS Crookston Lumber Com- pany’s Plant Will Be 0p- erated Days Only. The mill of the Crookston Lumber company in this city will until the end of the present sea- son be operated days only. The plant has been closed down nights and the night crew has been discharged. The day crew will be kept for some time yet and the mill will be operatad days until cold weather interferes. The shutdown of the mill nights is because of the inability of the company to secure logs. LATER—It was learned by the Pioneer at a late hour this atter- noon that a large supply of logs had been secured by the com- operated night and day, as here- tofore, for some tnne to come. BLOODY RIOTING AT KIEFF JEWS AND ARE FIRED ON BY COSSACKS. Kieff, Russia, Nov, 4.—The retire- ment of General Kleigels, the governor general of Kieff, who was removed ‘Wednesday and who has been suc- ceeded by General Soukhomlinoff, has not served to restore order. The whole city is in a ferment. A report that the Jews had destroyed a Christian mon- astery was circulated among the mob and served to provoke a renewal of the attack on the Jews. The massacre continued. General Karass, the mili- tary commander, called out the Cos- sacks, who were met with bombs, whereupon the Cossacks fired into the crowd, killing twelve persens and wounding forty-four, All the ‘stores in the Jewish market have been plundered and destroyed. Demand Release of Prisoners. Tifiis, Caucasia, Nov. 4—An im- mense meeting of workmen, students and professional men here demanded the reiease of the political prisoners and the abolition of the state of siege, to which the viceroy promised to ac- cede if the strike ceased. (today. C.H. Miles’ ISTRAW SHOW THE WIND Lumberjacks Boldly An- nounce they Have Been * Imported to Vote. “DON'T CARE AD———M HOW THE ELECTION GOES.” Begging Lumberjack, Referred to Those Who Keep Him Here Demands,‘‘Where Is Carter?”” Straws show which way the wind blows. Here are just a few out of many found on the streets. Two woodsmen entered Wm. McCuaig’s store last evening. ““Where are you from, boys” said Mr. McCuaig. “Oh, ve bin from Kelliher” “Going back tonight?”’ “Oh, ve stay till after ’lection, Ay guess”, “But you don’t live here, do you?” asked Mr, McCuaig. “Oh no, ve live at, Kelliher, but ve vote here!” “But you can’t vote here, you don’t live here,” declared Mr. McCuaig. “Oh yes, ve vote here. A lot more come down from Kelliher Monday, too. Ve don’t care d—m who’s ’lected, but ve vote here” frankly declared one of the men. A drunken woodsman, we had failed to get his name recorded registration day, applied to one of the judges on the street last night for money “for a dish of soup”. ‘Why don’t you get money from those wha are keeping you here,” asked the judge. “] can’t find them”, hiccough. ed the man, “whereis Carter, anyhow?”’ Booze and Cash. Men who are seldom seen with money were spending ten dollar bills right aud left at the saloons place was crowded all the afternoon with lumberjacks and sume men from the mill. Cheers and drinks for Carter were numerous. Mrs. Marcum's Sister Dead. . E. D. Collins, a sister of Mrs. Dr. Marcum of this ciiy, is dead at Echo, Ore.

SURVEY WAS INVALUABLE Full Information Will Be Secured as to Drainage Ditches the State Needs. George H. Ralph, state drain- age engineer, was at the Mark- ham today. He says they have been making excellent progress in the drainage survey. Cass county, with 225,000 acres of state land needing drainage, has been: the scene of their opera- tions lately, and the work there is about finished, Speaking of the survey, Mr. Ralph said: “The way the work s being done, our report will be of great ramount of land it will value in future drainage Warl(.l We are not only getticg the levels and the slope af each watershed, but much other in- formation. Our map will show just where ditches are needed and the report character of the soil, the esti- mated cost of each ditch and the reclaim. “In getting the levels we take the work of the government’s ‘positiye level’survey as a basis. That survey was made up the! Mississippi to Brainerd and over to Ttasca lake. to Duluth, great care, and may be taken as accurate. We also use the rail- road surveys. Their basis isa little different, but when their levels are reduced to the same| basis as the government work, will give the! Another line was | run through Brainerd and Aitkin | That was made with! they are just as valuabie for our purposes, we get the clevation of every lake, and take the levels of swamp tracts in different places soas to get their slope and find in which direction it must be drained.” Men Floukma In. The number of woodsmen in town has been doubled during {the day. Every train brought them in. ~The men are even abandoning the camps north of Bemidjiand flocking to town. What for? Hoodlums Help Carter. { The large cards containing the i picture of John I?, Gibbons, busi- ness men’s candidate for mayor, were torn down in the down town district last night.
