VOLUME 6. NUMBER 148. NEER. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL | SBCIETY, BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA FRIDAY EVENING, OéTOBER 9, 1908. e FORTY CENTS PER MONTH CASS LAKF. REPUBLICANS HELD A ROUSING MEETING Congressman Lindberg, P. H. MecGarry and B. F. Wright Delivered Addresses.—Mr. Lindberg’s Speech Was Especially Good, and He Made a Big Hit. Cass Lake, Oct. 8.—(Special to Pioneer.)—At the largest-attended enthusiastic political meeting held in Cass Lake for several years, last night, Congress-| man Lindberg, republican candidate to succeed himself as congressman from the Sixth district; B. F. Wright of Park Rapids, republican candiddte for judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district; and P. H. McGarry of Walker, republican candidate for representative in the legislature from the Fifty-second district, ad- dressed the people of Cass Lake on the issues of the present campaign, from a republican standpoint. i The meeting was the initial gathering of local voters, under the auspices of the Cass- Lake republi- can club, which is growing in num- bers and enthusiasm for the repub- lican candidates as each day brings election day closer. M. N. Koll, receiver of the Cass Lake land office, acted as chairman of the meeting, and seated on the stage were the speakers of the evening and a goodly number of local and county republicans. B. F. Wright was the first speaker intrcduced. Mr. Wright spoke for balf an hour, his talk being along the hine of support for the entire republican ticket. -He saw no rea- son why a voter who was a repub- lican should vote for an independent candidate, who was at heart a demo- crat, and who, when campaign time rolled around would give the money he earned from the people to the support of democratic candidates. Mr. Wright asserted that he was a strong party man. He believed in the principles of the republican party and would support the candi- dates of that party from the president down to the most inferior county office. In conclusion Mr. Wright said that his principal object in coming to Cass Lake was that he might see the people, and more especially that the people might see him, and know who he was and what he looked like. P. H. McGarry was called on for some remarks, and when he arose from his chair he was given a splendid ovation, which was evi- dently thoroughly appreciated by the Walker man, who received a and most reasoning would produce the logical conclusion that ‘the candidates put up by the republican party were the right men to fill the offices for which they were candidates. Mr. Lindberg advocated the con- serving of the natural resources of the country and told of the changes which had come with increased population and commercial strife. In the early days there was much elbow room in this north country, when the natural resources were unlimited as against a limited popu- lation. The speaker deplored the fact that a few long-headed com- mercial men were attempting to corner the natural resources of the country and was pleased at the grow- ing healthy sentiment which favored the curtailing of the granting of franchises for use of the natural re- sources. Mr. Lindberg paid a neat compli- ment to William Jennings Bryan, the democratic candidate for president. He believed that Mr. Bryan had done a great deal for the country, in that he propounded questions which had caused the people to think. Mr. Bryan was a great man, but he believed that the time was not ripe for the adopting of many of the principals advocated by Mr. Bryan. As a candidate for the presidency, Mr. Bryan went from free silver to other propositions which he had been forced to drop and concerning which democrats were saying nothing in this campaign. Referring to Mr. Taft, the republi- can candidate for president, Mr. Lindberg spoke of him as a man of great executive ability, one who had had much experience in handling affairs of national import, citing the beneficial results of Mr. Taft’s trip to the Phillipines and other matters in which Mr. Taft had been a very prominent factor. Republicans should support their candidate for president, as he was the better man of the two, by far, and the most efficient and more con- servative man to occupy the presi- dential chair; he would carry out the policies inaugarated by the. Roose- velt administration. Mr. Lindberg referred briefly to the respective candidates for gover- nor—Messrs. Johnson and Jaecobson. “While the State of Minnesota is splendid vote in Cass Lake, at the | | proud of Governor JohnSon and we primaries. Mr. McGarry spoke earnestly for about twenty minutes, and his re- marks were’ very well received. The speaker told of what the different counties wanted of the next legislature, referring to drainage in Aitkin, equitable acts as to ironi ore taxation in Itasca, some taX|girated that he possesses just the | reforms for Koochiching, and last the sixth normal school for Itasca; county. Mr. McGarry paid a tribute to J. F. Jacobson, the republi- can candidate for governor, and recited where the adoption of measures which Jacobson advocated while 2 member of the legislature had saved the state millions of dol- lars. The speaker closed with an appeal | to the voters present to support the republican candidate for governor and repudiate the democratic state executive. Congressman Lindberg followed Mr. McGarry, in a speech that was an eye-opener to the people of Cass Lake. Mr. Lindberg is a splendid talker, and he presented his points in a convincing and eloquent man- ner. His speech last night was by far the best speech which has been heard in Cass Lake during the last two campaigns. Mr. Lindberg started out by stat- ing that he was present at the meeting for the purpose of telling the people a few thlngs concerning the issues of the present campaign that would cause them to do some thinking, and he believed their splendid | DEFEFCTIVE PAQGF admit that he has made a good ex- ecutive, yet he is not a man of in- itiative ability. is a polished man and an eloquent speaker, but he lacks the force of starting things and a stick-to-it- iveness to accomplish great reforms. “Mr. Jacobson has already demon- qualifications which are lacking in Governor Johnson—he is a powerful iman in initiating and carrying out reform politics.” Mr. Lindberg referred to several of the bills which Mr. Jabobson had {fathered and passed at sessions of the legislature and asserted that the Jacobson measures had saved to the people of Minnesota some $20,000,000. ernor Johnson, said that the people had heard but little of the governor when he was in the senate. The speaker also stated that while it might be a custom to retain a man in the gubernatorial chair for two years, it was against the policies of the people to re-elect a state execu- tive for a third term—especially the nomination for the office. Mr. Johnson has made many recommendations “of reforms, but there were twenty men in the legis- lature of whom the people heard nothing, who have done exactly the same thing, N Mr. Lindberg spoke concerning the republican candidate for dis- (Continuedon last page,) Governor Johnson | Mr. Lindberg, in referring to Gov- | |§ against his announced rejection of A coroner’s inquest was. held this afternoon at the court house for the purpose of inquiring into the cause of the death of Mrs. Mike Seberger, who died in this city yesterday after- noon from what is alleged to have been opium poisoning. 2 A jury was subpceenad and several witnesses were examined, Coroner Marcum having charge of the inquest and County ‘Attorney Henry Funkley assisting the coroner in the examination of witnesses.

After being out .ten minutes the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that Mrs. Seberger came to her death from causes ‘unknown to them. Working on New Building. C. 'B. Rowley, builder who secured the contract for the erection of Bemidji’s new whole- the Brainerd sale grocery house, returned home this morning until the latter part of next week when he will come here to remain until the completion of the building. Mr. Rowley stated to the Pioneer | that work will be commenced immed- iately for the construction of the building; and that Bemidji brick will be used, and that, as far asj possible, lccal material and labor} will have the preference. C. C. Woodward Injured. C. C. Woodward has been on the crippled list since last Sunday when he sustained two broken ribs. Mr. Woodward says that he fell from the platform at the M. & I. depot and that the injury he sus- tained is a very severe and painful one. He also says that it is possible that he will sue the M. & I railway company for damages. | JOHN WASHBURN DEAD.--- HAD BEEN SICK A YEAR Had Been Resident of the City for the Past Thirteen Years.—Fun- eral Sunday.

These two teams met for the first time this season at Grand Rapids, two weeks ago last Sunday, when neither gained supremacy, the score being 0 to O at the end of two stren- uous halves of fierce playing.

However, it is said that Roseth, who gained much fame as fullback for the University of Wisconsin team, is coaching the high school team at Grand Rapids and will play with the Grand Rapids city team which will be here Sunday. At any rate the “Rapids” has a very strong eleven, and they are prepared to put up the | game of their lives. Sunday’s game will be played in the down-town park at 4 o’clock, half an hour after the arrival of the Great Northern train from Grand Rapids. conveniently located, and undoubt- edly a large crowd will be out to see the gridiron gladiators battle for The down-town park is supremacy.

BOYER WON SEGOND RAGE AT COLISEUM LAST NIGHT Mitchell and Boyer Are Now Tied.— Deciding Contest Will Be Run Tonight. The second contest of the three races between Harold Mitchell aud Clio Boyer of this city for a purse of $25 was pulled off at the Coliseum skating rink last evening, Boyer winning the event. Boyer gained from the start and at the end of the fourth lap had secured a half-lap lead on Mitchell and holding his position just behind the latter until the sixth round when Mitchell’s skate became loose and he dropped out, claiming that Boyer had fouled him on the turn. The judges decided ‘against Mitchell and declared that Boyer had won the racc. This gives the boys one race each, Mitchell having- won on Tuesday evening, 3 To satisfy the audience, Boyer and Mitchetl gave an exhibition race. Boyer easily took the lead at the start and held it until the tenth lap when Mitchell passed him, the latter finishing the twenty-five laps ten feet to the good. Boyer did not appear to be work- ing his hardest and was evidently saving himself untii tonight when the final will be pulled off.
