GARTER WOULD ROB G“‘“‘ONS BY PEOPLE OF RIGHTS Between 400 and 600 Men Brought Into Bemidji To Overawe Its Citizens Tomorrow. Men Arrive on Every Train From Sol- way, Wilton, Kelliher and Grand Rapids. Mr. Carter, Bailey-McDonald candidate for mayor, has placed himself in the position of active- ly assisting to rob the pcople of Bemidji of their constitional right to govern themselves. Men from the various logging ) A this the way the city isto be camps in north central Minne- o Y Y L. . |governed? sola are arriving on every train, every man with the same name upon his tongue and that name “Carter.” As many of these men as pos- sible will be voted at Bemidji’s first municipal election tomor- row, but it is not believed that Carter’s managers haveany very serious hope of voting them all. Their purpose, it is plain, is simply to overawe the people of Bemidji and carry the election for Carter tomorrow by casting of illegal votes and by terroriz- ing the citizens of the city. Mr, Carter’s attempt to raise himself to office of mayor by the the means of hundreds of illegal votes and by bringing hundreds of men to Bemidji to overawe the citizens of the city, stamp him as a man utterly unfit to be trusted in any capacity as public' ser- vant, James Dempsey of Dempsey & Doughtery is at the Markham and declares that 150 men are here from Grand Rapids and that he cannot get them to return to work. This is but one instance out of many. . Camps Deserted. Logging camps, for which em- ployers have been clamoring: for men, are practically deserted to- day. Queer things at this time of the year, isn’t it? Breakfast for 50. Breakfast for 50 men tomor- row morning was ordered at one of the restaurants this after- noon. The men are expected in carly in the morning. What for? Why? It is rumored that- Charlie Miles has declared that he will win this election if it costs him every cent he has. It may pay the people of Be- midji to ask themselves:—Why? In Bald Headed Row. Candidate Carter and C. H. Miles Saturday evening appeared atthe OperaHouse armin arm and “*will of the people of this city? took seats for “*His Highness the | Bey” in blxe bald headed row. Spent $5000. It is estimated that close to $5000 was spent “‘buying drinks” by the Carter supporters Satur- day, Sunday and today. Who furnished the money? And why? Distinctive Table Ware % Our showing of fine China and Cut Glass, Silver and Cut Metal wares is as different from the usual cut and dried assortments as possible, 9 lnvmy pattern, every indi- vidual piece was selected for its artistic and ultilitarian qualities from the largest im- orting and mauumctunnu ouses, and yery few of them can be duplicated out side of the large cities. “ Yet the question of cost need cause no anxiety as every thing is priced very mod’rat’ly We would appreciate an_ opportun. ity of showing you these wares if far Wo other reason than that it atlords you plensure to see them. Geo. T. Baker @. Co. See our Windows How They Do It. C. A. Pitkin, County Attorney McDonald’s law partner vas at Kelliher Saturday night, and brought back a fine bunch of men from the camps with him Is By Four Horse Team. The men from the camps at Island Lake were brought to Scl- way yesterday by four horse teams and came on to Bemidji today. They have work to do in Bemidji tomorrow, it seems. “Yote Them If We Haye to—" After the play Saturday night two prominent gamblers sat in a restaurant. One of them swore roundly and declared, **We’ll vote them if we have to—" Here his companion cautioned him to be more discreet, Taxpayers Have no Rights. A man from Kelliher this morning to the Pioneer in argu- ment declared that every lumber- jack in northern Minnesota has a right to vote in Bemidji. “Be- midji's the only home they have,” he declared. As there are some 10,000 to 20,000 of the men in northern Minnesota, it is evident that the people of Bemidji, ac- cording to this argument, have no right to govern themselves. How Does It Happen? That numerous men from Kel- liher, from Beyond Bagley and other outside points, men who do not even claim a residence in Be- midji, are the loudest supporters of Mr. Carter onthe streets? What possible interest have they in the election of a mayor in Be- midji. Can it be possible that they are paid to overthrow the Kind of Company He Keeps. Fvery Gibbons card in the city has been torn down. Not a Car- ter card has been touched. That’s the kind of company Mr. Carter keeps, 0. E. Bailey H. G. Hays Carl Martin E. E. McDonald Andy Danaher C. H. Miles Sherman Bailey are the main supporters of Mr. Caater for mayor. They are yiolently opposed to Mr. Gibbons and fear his election because ‘‘his” friends will have an opportunity to graft the new city of Bemidji. According to the Times, the moutiipiece of these gentlemen, an ‘“‘opportunity to graft’” means “graft.” Election Returns.
