VOLUME 6. NUMBER '166. THE BEMIDJI D {e Historical Society, ¥riiy BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY. EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1908. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH COMPANY K FOOTBALLISTS VS. PARK RAPIDS, SUNDAY Game Scheduled for Next Sunday, at 3 p. m.—May Play Grand Rapids Team for Purse of $100 a Side, at Cass Lake. ‘The Company K football team of this city will play a game against the Park Rapids city team at the down-town park in this city Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. While not much is known of the strength of the visiting team, Park Rapids has a number of old-time football players and all-around athe- letes who are good at any branch of sport, and in any game in which that town has representatives, they always make a good showing. Many of the players there have participated in high school games in the past and have had alot of football experience. In view of the fact that the Com- pany K team will probably play the Grand Rapids team for a big side| bet in the near future, much interest is being manifested in the playing of the locals and no doubt a big crowd will turn out Sunday to see the game with Park Rapids. Grand Rapids Challenge Accepted. There 1s every prospect that the Company K football team of this city and the City football team of Grand Rapids will play a game of football on neutral ground, within the next two weeks, for a purse of from $100 to $200 a side, and a percentage of the gate receipts. The tollowing challenge, ad- dressed to the Bemidji Daily Pio. neer, was KECC\VEd here ‘hlS morn- ing from Grand Rapids: «Grand Rapids, Oct. 29. «Editor, Bemidji Pioneer, Bemidji, «Dear Sir:--The Grand Rapids City football team challenges the Company K team of your city to play for a purse of anything from $100 to $200 a side, game to be played at Grand Rapids, «“Respectfully Yours, «“—Joe O'Day, “Manager.” The challenge was submmitted to John Hillaby, first lieutenant of Company K, and manager of the Company K football team, and every member of the team ex- pressed an eager desire to play the Grand Rapids team for a purse of $100 a side under the following conditions: neutral ground, Cass Lake pre- ferred, on Sunday, Nov, 8. The players of both teams to consist only of those who partici- pated in either of the games recently played between these two teams at Grand Rapids and Bemidji. No substitute to be allowed out- side of the players who actually participated in either of these two games. A referee, mutually agreeable to Iboth teams, to be selected from Grand other any other city except Rapids and Bemidji, the officials also to be neutral men. If the Grand Rapids team accepts this proposition Company K is more than willing to try con- clusions with the ¢Rapids” men, who recently won a game from the locals, purely through a ¢“fluke,” Play at Brainerd Tomorrow. The Brainerd Dispatch says of played at Brainerd tomorrow be- tween the Bemidji and Brainerd high school elevens: «Saturday afternoon the Bemidjt High school football team will play on the McKay grounds.

Miss Mabel Brown, who teaches the fifth grade in the public schools, gave a delightful Hallow- e’en party at her rooms in the George Kirk residei2ce on Lake Boulevard last évening. The house was prettily decorated with jack-a-lanterns and autumn leaves and certainly presented a most pleasing effect. About ten ¢ghostly” friends| were present and a few original games were played as well as the usual Hallowe’en customs. Miss Brown served an excellent lunch to her guests and the party broke up at a late hour, all of the ghosts present declaring their hostess to be a most “entertaining one, & Train Delayed; Bad Engine. The regular west-bound passenger train on the Great Northern, yester- day afternoon, was two hours late, the delay being occasioned by a break to the engine near Deer River. It was necessary for the train men to Cass Lake for an engine to bring the train west to Grand Forks. Noone was injured at the time the engine gave out. Detained in Minneapolis. A letter received from A, A. Andrews today states that his little girl is sick with diphtheria and he will be unable to return to Bemidji to resume his law practice within the next two weeks. He will not be in Bemidji until about Nov. 14. ‘YOTE TIGKET STRAIGHT' USED BY ‘BARREL BUNCH' Men Who Are ‘‘Knifing” Congressman Steenerson, Prime Movers ‘‘Party Loyalty” Exhorttng. The character of the campaign that is being putup in this city against Hon. C. W. Stanton, judge of the district court, and non-partisan candidate for election as judge, on the ground that all should “vote the straight ticket,” is about on par with the campaign for congressman. Hon. Halvor Steenerson is the republican candidate for congress- man from this district; and the hope- less minority who are yelling “vote the straight ticket” for B. F. Wright, republican candidate for judge, are quietly “knifing” Congressman Steenerson. “Vote the straight ticket” doesn’t always fit snugly; and the independ- ent voters will be heard from in large numbers next Tuesday, when Judge Stanton will be retained on the bench, because he has fairly won the position by having more than “made good,” on the bench, as an efficient jurist. gingham, ayard... each tams, each $25 suits $19.50 1lot men’s 50c fleeced shirts, each 86;85c each, & par .

THE STEEL TRUST BARREL IS “TAPPED” BY THE NEWS /Latest Backers of B. F. Wright ‘“Come In”’ to the News Man, and He Prints a Coulmn on “Vote the Ticket Straight” for Mr. Wright. If it was needed to procure tang- ible evidence to prove that the “barrel” of Mr. Thwing aund the gigantic United States Steel Trust bad been opened to the backers of B. F. Wright of Park Rapids in his candidacy for the judgeship, one has but to read the Beltrami County News of yesterday, which reproduces a long screed concerning Judge Stanton of this city, and which was dictated over the telephone to a cer- tain local manager. The long-winded *“‘speiel,” which probably cost Mr. Wright a neat round sum to repeat over the 'phone to the local “boodle” sheet, is fathered by our friend- Chris, with| the same wise smile with which he| “fathered” the attacks in his erst- while Daily News, which died “a- bornin’ ” when a certain local cor-| poration failed to “come in” to the real owner of the plant with a “bunch of the long green.” The aftempts to besmirch the pub- lic and private life of Judge Stanton will be “taken with a grain of salt” by the decent people of this city, all of whom have little use for the News and its boodle-grabbing proclivities. In order that the people Bemidji may know just who was responsible for the article in the ofi News, we can truthfully say that it was dictated to the “big-mit man” of the News, over the telephone, ard at the other end of the ’phone was B.-F. Wright, the man who is con- ducting a “clean campaign” and traveling as a twin brother with the man who controls the steel trust “barrel,” A. L. Thwing. { The republican candidate for | judge of the district court stoops pretty low when he accuses Judge Stanton of dictating to the governor of this state as to whom the latter i shall appoint as officials. As the Pioneer has before men- tioned, “the voice of the people,” to which Mr. Wright refers with a {great gusto, severely rebuked Mr. { Wright on the only two occasions {when he was a candidate for office. The office which Mr. Wright sought |was that of county attorney. If | “Ben” Wright is such an able attor- ney, and so well fitted for the exalted office of judge of the district court, why did his home people decis- ively defeat him for the office of county attorney on the only two occasions ithat he was a candidate for public | office? Mr. Wright writes his own press notices; and when he had his news [Continued on Second Pagel SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT BY FORMER ASSOCIATES Many Prominent Men of International Falls Express High Opinion of Judge C. W. Stanton. There is probably no better way to find out the real character of a| man than to hear what is said of him by his neighbors and those closely associated with him for a period of years. Judge Stanton re- sided ar.d practiced law at Interna- tional Falls for four years just pre- ceeding his appointment as Judge. Without solicitation on'the Judge’s part, the poople of that village, ir- respective of party, have united in giving the subjoined endorsement of his candidacy. The list of signers includes EVERY LAWYER, EVERY PROFESSIONAL MAN, EVERY COUNTY OFFICER, EVERY VILLAGE OFEICER, EVERY MERCHANT, besides every other man to whom the en- dorsement was presented. The following is the endorsement of Judge Stanton, as signed by his former neighbors, fellow townsmen and professional associates. “The undersigned, voters of Koo- chiching county, while affirming our continued allegiance to the princi- ples and candidates of our respec- tive political parties, in all cases where political principles are invol- ved, are nevertheless in favor of a non-partisan judiciary. We believe that a satisfactory judge should not be retired from office from political considerations alone. So believing, we favor the retention in office of Hon. C. W. Stanton, who is a non- partisan candidate to succeed him- self, and who uader our election law cannot be the candidate of both parties. He has fully met the ex- pectations of those who strongly commended his appointment at the time it was made, and has proven himself to bean able, fearless and righteous judge. We deem it fitand proper that we thus publicly urge all voters, irrespective of party, to sup- port him at the ensuing election. (Signed) J.C. Chamberlin Lawyer W.V. Kane o Frank Palmer - F. J.
