I\ SENATOR KNULE NELSON DELIVERED SPEECH Continued from First Page Turning to the question of labor, he showed clearly that the republi- can party had done much for -the advancement of its cause. The safety appliance law, the employers’ liability law, the laws limiting hours of labor, the ashpan law, so-called, compelling railroads to use automa- ticash pans, were among those passed by this party. - Referring to the matter ot injunctions he said that he does not believe that the American working men want permission to break the laws; he is sure that they are too self-respecting to want that. No injunction, he said, issued ina labor dispute that can not for the same reason be issued in any other dispute. Only two things can be enjoined —violence to person and property and the secondary boycott. The courts had wupheld the rights of the workmen to organize and to strike, even to . induce others to strike, but they can not, and he does not believe the mass of the work- ingmen want the right to intimi- date others to destroy property. As to the boycott, the courts have decided that any labor organization has a right to boycott any firm against whom they have a griev- ance, but they have no right to declare a boycott upon any other part of the American people be- cause they choose to do business with those on whom the ban of boycott has been placed. He referred briefly to Bryan’s slogan, “Let the people rule.” The people always did rule and always will rule, through their represen- tatives and through the party that has the confidence and ballots of the majority of the voters of the nation. What Bryan really means is “let the people rule through the democratic party and Bryan rather than through the republican party and Taft.” Senator Nelson paid a splendid tribute to Congressman Steenerson and told of his personal knowledge of the good work done by Mr. Steenerson during his incumbrancy in congress. Senator Nelson has been a close personal friend of the congressman for many years and knows whereof he speaks when he says that for the good of the entire community Steenerson’s candidacy should be given an overwhelming endorsement; that no republican should vote for an independent candidate whose intregrity is at least subject to ques- tion. Senator Nelson then took up state issues and advocated the election of Hon. Jacob Jacobson, republican candidate for governor of this great i “North Star” state. . Referring to Governor Johnson, |, the senator said Johnson had accep- ted the nomination, not because he wanted the office, but in order to help keep the democratie party in shape for 1912. He challenged "the proof .of any legislation or other work of benefit to the people which had actually been brought about by Gov. John- son either before or since his elec- tion. Contrastmz Johnson s records of words rather than deeds with that of Hon.J.F. Jacobson, he showed that the latter had been responsible for and instrumental in securing more legislation for the benefit of the producers and the small business men than any other man in the history of Minnesota legislation. GOMPANY K'S FOOTBALL TEAM PLAYS GASS LAKE Will Line Up Against Coach Dumas’ “‘Bunch,” at Cass Lake, Next Sunday. The Company K football team, members of Bemidji’s national guard company, will play a game against the reorgnized Cass Lake team, at Cass Lake, next Sunday, can be| Senator Nelson was governor dur- ing a part of Mr. Jacobson’s service in the legislature and was in a position to know whereof he speaks. He ennmerated the various bills secured by Mr., Jacobson which, while none of them have damaged the railroads, all have berefitted the people. Senator Nelson closed with a hearty tribute to the industry, ability ‘ and honesty of the republican candi- idate for governor and urged all republicans to vote, not only for him, but for every man on the ticket, declaring that all are worthy of confidence and that all stand for the principals which through the republican party have made America the greatest and most prosperous country in the world.

He has some fine material for a team, and no doubt, the Cass Lake warriors will show a vast improvement. The Company K boys wiil have several new players, since they played here against Grand Rapids, which will give them a much stronger line, and-at least one ad- ditional man in the backfiled who is a consistent ground-gainer, thoroughly understands the game, and is a ‘‘stayer” in all branches of the game. A number of Bemidji people will go to Cass Lake Sunday noon td see the game. Art Hagberg as a Campaigner. Few in this city are aware of the fact, but Art Hagberg, the genial man, is a whirlwind politician, and he makes some telling hits while out among the voters. Art went to Brainerd, with his wife, a few days ago, and he was looking for votes for his favorite candidate. He espied a man read- ing a novel, who was evidently not aware that the fate of the nation hangs on the vote of the people Nov. 3rd, and he opened upon the reader of the novel: “Well' the campaign is warming up,” said Art to the man with the novel. “Yes?"” replied the man with the novel. “You bet. You'll see things doing from now till election. Le’ me tell you, all these scandals and exposures have their effect on both parties, but don’t let it get away from you that Taft is the friend of the people, and he’ll win. Agree with me?” “I must confess I havn’t given .| the matter much thought.” “But it’s a matter for thought, man. You can’t sit idly by and allow others to settle the destiny of the nation, can you?

The following is a copy of a reso- lution which was adopted by the city council of Bemidji at the meet- ing held Monday evening, on the death of Alderman John Washburn. The resolution was introduced by Alderman Gould and is as follows: Whereas, death has taken from our number our brother, Aldsrman John A. Washburn of the third ward; and Whereas, we desire to record these expressions of our. feelings of regard and respect for him when living, and of sorrow and regret occasioned by his death. John A. Washburn was born in Cleveland, Ohio, thirty-eight years ago. He left surviving him a wife and one child, He had just reached manhood’s summit and while ill-health had sug- gested for some time the possibility of his early death, no one was pre- pared for his going when he died. It is with pleasure that we record that each one of his official acts as a member of this council was the result of his desire to do what was exactly right to serve the best inter- ests of his city and his constituents, His services as an alderman and ‘as a member of the fire department of Bemidji, were such as to suggest, that, had he lived, the future held in store awaiting him political and business positions of responsibility and importance. In our official relations he was always courteous, considerate and just, and in his private life he was indu'strious, honest and kind—a good neighbor, an affectionate hus- band and father, and a citizen whose loss will be felt by our body and the community at large. As aslight token of our regard for him we ask that these memorial resolutions may be a matter of rec- ord. Now, Therefore be it resolved, that these memorial resolutions be spread on the records of the min- utes of the Common Council of the City of Bemidji as part of the pro-| ceedings ot this meeting, and a copy of these 1esolutions be by the clerk transmitted to the widow of our, deceased brother, RAILWAY HIII.

Commencing Work on Dam. Brainerd Dispatch: Supt.

D, the purpose of the meeting being to better the conditions of the railway mail clerks. Several ‘addresses were made, these delivering them being Con- gressman Gronna; Vice President Schardt, of the Tenth Division of the Railway association; L. B. Hanna, republican candidate for congressman from North Dakota; Chief Clerk McBride, of the Grand Forks district of the service; Presi- dent W. J. Murphy, of the Grand Forks lodge of the R. M. C. A; Mayor J. D. Taylor, of the city of Grand Forks and Attorney J. B. Wineman, also of that place. A great deal of interesting infor- mation was brought out by the differ- ent speeches. The salaries of the clerks have been increased only between 7 and 11 per cent during the last two years, thus making their pay from $800 to $1,600 per year, a very small percentage re- ceiving the maximum salary. The clerks occupy the most dangerous places on tbe trains, shut up in the mail car just behind the engine, and certainly deserve better pay than they receive at present. Chief Clerk McBride reported that twelve of his most efficient men had resigned from the service during the last year to accept more lucrative and less dangerous positions. All of those present promised to work for the betterment of the rail- way mail clerks and to use their influence as much as possible to- ward such a cause. It was also shown at the banquet that few peopfe, outside of those employed in the service, know much of the operation of handling the United States mail and of the immense amount of work required to carry on this branch of the gov- ernment work. In connection with the above effort of the Railway Mail Clerks to educate the public in their work, it is interesting to note the follow- ing order which has been sent to all postmasters in the United States and which was recently received by Postmaster Erickson of the local office from the department at Wash- ington: “Washington, D. C., “Sept. 18 1908. “Order No. 1742. “Postmasters are hereby directed to confer with the local school authorities with the view of adopt- ing the most effective method of instructing school children as the organization and operations of the postal service. These instructions should cover such features of the service as the delivery of the mails, the classification of mail matter, the registery and money order systems, and particularly the proper address- ing of letters and the importance of placing return cards on envelopes. Postmasters should arrange, if possi- ble, to deliver personal talks to the pupils on these subjects and should give teachers access to the Postal Guide and the Postal Laws: and . Regulations and render them every assistance in securing the necessary information. “G. V. L. Megyer, “Postmaster General.” Clearwater County Republicans. Bagley, Oct. 22.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—The republicans of Clear- water county have opened the cam- Ppaign here by three big rallies,which have been held the last few days. The first rally was held Tuesday night, when Lieutenant Governor Eberhardt addressed a large crowd of Bagley and Clearwater county citizens.
