1 BEMIDJI DEMOGRATS WANT GOV. JOHNSON Unanimous in Their Choice of the Candidate of the Party for Governor. P. ). RUSSELL, SECRETARY OF COUNTY COMMITTEE, EMPHATIC. He Asserts that Governor Owes It to Party to Accept the Nomination. The democratic county conven- tion to elect delegates to the state convention will be held at the court house in Bemidji tomorrow after- noon, at 1 o’clock, when eight dele- gates will be chosen to go to the convention to be held at Minne- apolis next Wednesday. The primaries held yesterday were fairly well attended and dele- gates were chosen to the conven- JOHN A. JOHNSON. Whom All Democrats Want as Gubernatorial Candidate. tion tomorrow, but it has been decided to hold a mass convention, [the county subscribing to demo- Pioneer to state that all persons in cratic principles are cordially invited fo attend and participate in the con- vention. It appears to be the undivided sentiment of Beltrami county demo- crats that Governor John A. John- son be -nominated as the party’s candidate for .the governorship, despite his assertion that he does not want the nomination. Local members of the party second the statement made by P. J. Russell, which is as follows: “What do I think about the democratic gubernatorial situation? “I am unqualifiedly in favor of unanimously nominating John A. CONGRESSMAN HAMMOND. Who Is Prominently Mentioned as Democratic Gubernatorial Timber. Johnson. I believe, under such circumstances he would accept. I believe he owes it to the party, even though it was at a financial sacrifice to himself. “His unanimuos nomination, .and his election a third time, would be a triumph of personal worth unequalled by any other democrat in any nomin- ally republican state in the history of the country. It would do more to keep him in the ‘limelight’ for 1912 than any other course he could pursue. “What about the other candi- dates nominated? ~Well, compari- sons are always odious, and while and Secretary Russell desires the one or more of those nominated J the importance of sav- ing yourteeth. - That’s my business. DR. G. M. PALMER ust to remind you of might be elected; we know Johnson will be elected, if he accepts the nomination. 4 “Jacobson’s Duluth ‘keynote’ speech was a personal attack on Governor Johnson, and alone would be sufficient reason (if any was necessary) for reconsidering. his determination not to run again. “Governor Johnson should get: into the fight lzam, fall on Jake and smite him ‘hip and thigh.’ “It would be a battle royal, out of whiech poor Jake would come ‘sadder but wiser.” ” MURDER VICTIM MAY BE SULLIVAN OF BLAGKDUCK Unidentifed Body of ‘Man, Found at Grand Forks, Causes Many Sen- sational Stories. Crookston Journal: There were no new developments in the Bolack murder mystery of Grand Forks yesterday of any great importance. It was suggested that the young man who was slain might be a son of Osmund Osmundson who dis- appeared from Mallory, a year ago last spring. It was ascertained that the Osmundson boy had return- ed to his home after an absence of three'months. It hasbeen suggested that the skeleton may be that of a young man named Sullivan, who dis- appeared from Blackduck and for information concerning whose. dis- appearance his mother had the state of Minnesota offer a reward. Blaze at Hakkerup’s Studio. The fire, which was discovered about 8:30 last evening, destroyed pratically everything = of value in the photograph studio of N. L. Hakkerup, on Third street, entail- ing a loss of about $1,200, on which there was carried insurance amount- ing to about $345. Mr. Hakkerup is at loss to know how the fire started as it was evident that the flames originated in the dark room of the studio. The inflammable nature of the pictures, canvas, etc., in the interior of the studio was almost as powder to the flames and it was with the utmost difficulty that the fire department managed to get the best of the blaze. As it was, everything was destroyed that was of any value. Mr. Hakkerup has leased a tent and is again ready for business with his old patrons.

TIIE BAEI.EY GHEAMEHY Local Business .llin Will Be snown Up-to-Date Farming at Clearwater County Seat. In order ‘that they may become more familiar with dairying and the manufacture of dairy products by ‘means of a creamery, a number of business men of Bemidji will visit Bagley Friday afternoon for the purpose of inspecting the dair- ies at that place and look over some farms where dairy stock is being raised. The project of the visit to Bagley was promoted by W. R. Mackenzie, a prominent local land man, and is intended primarily to promote inter- est in the forthcoming third annual fair of the Beltrami_ County Agri- cultural * Association, which will be held in Bemidji September -24, 25 and 26. The citizens of Bagley and the farmers of Clearwater county have been intensely interested in dairy- ing during'the past two years, with the result that there is a splendid’ creamery in operation at Bagley and several .creameries in other parts of Clearwater county are in a flourishing condition. The citizens of Bemidji and the farmers throughout Beltrami county have been somewhat backward in dairy farming and it is hoped that the trip to.Bagley will be beneficial to the business men and farmers of Beltrami. county in general. It is expected that A, J. McGuire of Grand Rapids, superintendent of the Northeast Experimental Station, will accompany the Bemidji people on their trip to Bagley and will assist in showing the good points of dairying. ‘I'he following Bemidji people will go on the trip and will leave this city at 3:42 on the G. N. west-bound passenger train: Mayor J. P. Pogue, J. P. O’Leary, Wes Wright, A. A. Melges, J. J. Opsahl, Charles Nangle, W. G. Schroeder, E. H. Winter, J. A. Lud- ington, K. Mclver, Ben Schneider, Matt Phibbs, W. E.. Neal, G. E. Carson, W.. L. Brooks, A. G. Rutledge, W. Ri' MacKenzie, John Fleming and C. L. Bang. A general' invitation is extended to all residents of Bemidji to partici- pate in this trip, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit and result in much good to the dairy farmers in the county. “‘Bessie” Was Fourth. Word comes from Warren, where the Marshall county fair was held this week, that Bessie Barolite, the pacer owned by Thoma Newby of this city, did not make a very good showing in the 2:17 pace in the races there. Luke Vernon was first, Mixer sec- ond, Lockstep third and Bessie Baro- lite fourth. Bessie beat Mixer and Luke Ver- non at the Thief River Falls fair last week, but the mare evidently did not pace her usual fast race, as from the showing she has made so far this season shé should -be right in the front with the horses who beat her at Warren. It is more than likely that the same horses will race here at the Beltrami county fair, September 24-25-26, and it is a “safe bet” that Mr. Newby will not take much of the dust of any of the other nags that will enter . the race with Bessie Barolite here. JOBS AREN'T PLENTIFUL OVER IN THE DAKOTAS Labor Commissioner Williams Deplores Sending Men to Harvest Fields— Jobs Pleritiful Here. The St. Paul Pioneer Press of yesterday contained the following article concerning - the statements men: ment for fifteen or. men in the harvest fiel one thousand would be lucky if they can find - jobs. This thing of “the railroads asking for thousands upon | thousands of men for the harvest work in North Dakota is downright criminal and a snare and a’ delusion. It floods the state with idle men of a dangeroustype and works great and injustice upon the cum- Labor Commissioner that there were many jobs in the| - Mr. Willlams has just| returned from Dakota where he has|’ held a conference with Gov. Burke, The free employment bureaus will not send any more men until I know there are jobs: for them,’ the commissioner said. “Dakota is following the same policy, he declared, and Gov. Burke only a few days ago wrote the mayor of Philadelphia that the 3,000 men whom he offered to send into the needed. i '‘According to Mr. Williams much of the wheat in the Dakotas is burned to the ground and the crops are damaged to a great extent.” The above is in line with what was recently stated by the Pioneer relative to the situation in the labor fields. Laboring men can get just as good jobs in Bemidji and this vicinity as they can in North Dakota. Both the Bemidji Lumber com- pany and the Crookston Lumber company are paying $2 per day for common laborers, and - this is true of those in charge of the big dam in the Mississippi river and other people hiring common laborers. The is no necessity of going to the Dakotas for work. There is plenty of it right here at home, and appli- cants at the mills or at the electric light company will be given jobs at the highest-going wages. Ira James Lappen Dead. Little Ira James Lappen, the 12- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Lappen of this city, died at the St. Anthony’s hospital at 2 o’clock this morning. The boy had had a rupture of the appendix which caused gangrene of the bowels from which he died. He was taken to the hospital and operated upon Sunday morning but this was too late to save his life. Mr. and Mrs. Lappen have the sympathy of many friends in the loss of their bright little boy. "‘GOBBLER" GAME LAW IS VIOLATED BY GULLICKSON Popular “Hamm Brew” Man Wan- tonly Slays in ‘‘Cold Biood,” a Sacred Smolligaster. A. G. Rutledge, the local game warden, has filed the following report with Mike Flynn, the Grand High Jack of the Ancient & Pre- ferred Order of Gobblers of Duluth: “Theo. Gullickson, the Bemidji agent for the Hamm Brewing com- pany, went up the Mississippi river last Sunday in a row boat and while attempting to shoot a hoogag, acci- dently hit and killed a suolligaster which was quietly grazing a hundred yards off. Gullickson was seen in the twilight carrying the bird home through the back alleys.” And Flynn has promulgated the following official order: “The Diamond Degree of the A. & P. O. G. will meet at Cass Lake on the 20th inst, to take action on this flagrant violation of the laws and rules of the order. There is plenty of evidence and Gullickson will, no doubt, be con- victed. Punishment will be meted out accordingly.” Went Canoeing. About fifteen young people from Grand Forks Bay and from Lakeside went up the river in canoes yesterday morning to Lake Plantagnet. They had a very enjoyable time, ate dinner at the popular Jester Farm, and returned to the city in the afternoon. They report that under the guidance of one of their number, Tom Camp- bell, they were nearly lost on Lake Irvin but the sharp sightedness of Miss Williams saved them and they found the shore.

Hitchcock, Chief of Staff Vorys, Secrctary Williams and the Presidential Candidate in Confer ence at Hot Springs—Latter to Make His Entire Campaign in Cin- cinnati, It Is Announced. Hot Springs, Va., Aug. 13.—Repub- Hcan National Chairman Hitcheock arrived here and put Mr. Taft in pos- session of the political information gained through the numerous confer- ences he has been holding in varlous parts of the country. Perhaps the most important business of the con- ference was the discussion of the per- sonnel of the financial advisory com- mittee of nine, the appointment of ‘which, Mr. Hitchcock says, he will announce after he has consulted with leaders of the party representing the West. ‘When the first conference between Mr. Taft, Chairman Hitchcock, Chief of Staff Vorys and Secretary Williams had ended Mr. Hitchcock said he was authorized to announce that Mr. Taft would take no part in the polities of any state, nor interfere in any fac- tlonal fight. He also announced as a final decision that the candidate would make his entire campaign in Cincin- nati. As to the first announcement Mr. Hitchcock made it plain that, ac- cording to long established precedent, the national committee would be free to decide which was and which was not a regular- Republican state ticket. S8TRONGLY OPPOSES TAFT Bishop Walters (Colored) Discusses Political Matters. New York, Aug. 13.—Bishop Alex- ander Walters, president of the Na- tlonal Afro-American council, who re- sides in this city, has come out strongly against Mr. Taft, the Repub- lican nominee for the presidency. In an interview he declared that it is time there be a division of the negro vote in the United States. He does not take any stock in the promises of high Republican officials, he says. Speaking of his present stand as an anti-Taft man Bishop Walters says: “The Republican party has shown itself impotent to enact further legis- lation in our interest. This is evi- denced by the failure to have con- gress pass a bill to have lynchers trled in the federal courts and to en- act legislation reducing Southern Tep- resentation in congress. “The Republican party, through its president, Theodore Roosevelt, and its candidate for the presidency, William H. Taft, and its national convention, recently held in Chicago, has endorsed the lily white movement of the South, wWhich means the elimination of the negro.” A Loud 3. Bob Footlite (actor)—Failure?
