THE BEMIDJI e AILY PIO HISTORICAL “SECIETY, VOLUME 6. NUMBER 175. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1908. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH JULIUS A. SCHMAHL WOULD MAKE STRONG CANDIDATE Popular and Agressive Secretary of State Is a Vote-Getter and’Is Splendid Timber for the Republican Nom- ination for Governor of State. JuLlus A Secretary of State, Whirlwind Vote-Getter as Republican Candidate for Governor ot Minnesota. SCHMAHL, Who Would Prove a e A A A A A A Chairman Brown, of the Republi- can State Central committee, has announced that Jacob F. Jacobson will probably not consent to again become a candidate for governor, and that suggestions for a republi- can gubernatorial candidate forl 1910 are now in order. The Pioneet believes that Julius A. Schmahl, the present secretary ot} state, would make a very acceptable candidate for governor on the repub-{ lican ticket—a man who would be| elected if nominated. Mr. Schmahl’s home is at Red- wood Falls in the southern part of the state, and he is very popular inj| the southern counties. During his term as secretary of state, Mr. Schmahl has become well acquainted in the north half of the‘ state and has done much to better the developn’lent of this part of the country; he has been very active in promoting drainage, and has been a great help to George Welsh, state commissioner of immigration, in the | matter of inducing setilers to locate | in the state. In fact, Mr. Schmahl has done much to assist in peopling | the broad acres of northern Minne- sota with aggressive farmers. Mr. Schmahl is a “hustler” of the thirty-third degree, and as a vote-getter is a peer of any man in the state capitol. The Pioneer has privately dis- cussed the candidacy of Mr. Schmahl with many north-country people and the sentiment is unanimous for Mr. Schmahl as a republican candi- date for governor in 1910. Asked by the Pioneer as to the candidacy of Mr. Schmahl for gov- ernor, Representative J. J. Opsahl of this city says: ““Shall the Minnesota, republicans continue for six more years toen- dorse the democratic candidate for! governor? “If not, the Republican State Central Committee should get busy | harmony that will and every precinct into working spell ‘success’ two years hence. “The republican party has the votes. Can we get them together? Systematic publicity (along Roose- velt plans) will win, “The Democratic Day-O’Connor machine is working 365 days in the year, keeping their candidate before the people. Shall we remain idle onlookers, or shall we get to work at once to hold our own? “There is plenty of good timber in the republican ranks, and the field should be looked over and the best posibilities brought out early (so their strong and weak sides can be fully seen) and from such the people can select a man that can hold the republican vote agaist the democratic candidate. “Sucn a candidate should come the state, and be one proven in pub- lic life, broad enough to recognize the practical ‘needs and wants of all sections of our great state; a true friend of the North as well as. the South, city and country, individual or corporation, when their acts and wants are just and fair to all within the rules of the law. “As such a man I suggest Hon. Julius Schmakhl, secretary of state. He is a tireless worker, a fearless but just executive officer, and a vote- getter. “Can we get him to enter the race? ¢ “Coming from southern Minne- sota, he is a true friend of northern Minnesota, and an ardent advocate of practical, proper development of our great state’s resources. “There are lots of good men in our ranks. But are there any stronger, cleaner and better vote- getters than our secretary of state? If there are, bring them out before the people early. We should not select men from friendship, but look the field over early and select at once to organize the counties| winners.” P R Will Live in Bemidji, The Todd County Argus, pub- lished at Eagle Bend, prints the fol- lowing account of the wedding of a couple who will make their home in Bemidiji: “One of the pleasant events of last Wednesday evening, Oct. 28, was the marriage of Marvin Sarff, of Eagle Bend to Miss Eliza L. Hutton, of Walker. The marriage took place in Fargo, North Dakota. The cermony was. performed at 7 o’clock by Rev. H. G. Leonard of the Methodist church. The bride is formerly of the state of Ohio, and since last May, has resided in Walker. She is a model young lady “The groom is a man of high character, fine intellect, good habits, and cheerful disposition, and will provide and make the home happy. “Life to a great extent is what we make it. do wonders, we can make- the life a grand success or we can leave it a blank. To make the world better by our living in it, should be our earnest aim. True success in life is by the way of the church, the why that can never fail. “We are truly glad to know that this couple is starting out on the leads to life eternal, - May their way be asa dawning light, that shineth beld jn high esteem and is an active member of the Methodist church, more and unto the perfect day.

Commeréialfi Club Meeting Tonight. Bemidji, Nov. 9, 1908. A regular meeting of the Bemidji Commercial Club will be held in the council chambers Tuesday evening, Nov. 10. All members are urged to be present at that time. F. 8. LYCAN, President. . CLYDE J. Pryor, Secretary, l C. A. Palmer, agent for the Minnessta & International railway company at Hackensack, telegraphed from | that place this morning that the safe in the depot at Hackensack had been blown some time between 9:30 last night and 7 o’clock this morning and that $18.22 of the company’s money, and $85.52 belonging to the North- ern Express company had been taken; and further, that nothing else of importance was gone from the depot. When Palmer was asked over the wires if he had any idea who had committed the theft, who the burglars were, or where they had goune, he answered that no one knew anything furtber than he had telegraphed. * Nothing further could be ascertained as to the robbery and it is presumed that the robbers forced an ertrancg to the depot while the agent was sleeping in another part of the town, and they were not interfered with by anyone before they had taken all the money: that ‘was in the building. That they made their escape is No one came into the depot until the agent arrived there this morning at 7 o’clock to open the place for There is no clue to the robbers and no possible way whatever to apprehend them.

Skating at the Rink Wednesday Eve'ng 'WITH MUSIC AdmisSioh 10 andZSc Fifteenth Judicial | Regular Trains Going North The need of a night train on the Minnesota & International and Northern Pacific railways, to be run between the twin cities and inter- mediate points over the N. P. to Brainerd and from the latter place over the M. & I to International Falls, was never more apparent than at the present time, as people who are bound “northward from Brainerd, after boarding the M. & I. train at Brainerd, are unable to secure seats or hardly can they be crowded together so that standing room in. the coaches is not ata premium. » For some time during the past summer the railway companies jointly put on a so-called “'week-end” special train which was run from St. Paul every Saturday evening to International Falls, returning leav- ing the “Falls” Sunday evening and arriving in St. Paul Monday fore- noon. from the start, and though but little advertised, did much to releive the heavy travel at the end of the week. That train has been taken off—and at a time when there is very heavy NIGHT TRAIN ON THE M. & L NEEDED TO HANDLE CROWD from Brainerd Are Crowded to the Roof.—Night Train to the Cities Would Be Liberally Patronized. business carrying “lumberjacks,” hunters and people ,uaveling from intermediate points along the line. Every train over the M. & I. iwhich passes through Bemidji is crowded with passengers, and the addition of an extra coach at this point has been of practically no benefit in caring for the crowd of travelers, men and women and children being compelled to stand | in the aisles, for want of seats. A concerted effort will again be made to induce the railway com- panies to put on the night train i There is every reason to believe that !such a train would be a paying |investment for the railway compan- ! ies, and would certainly be ‘a great accommodation to the traveling pub- lic living along the line and those from the cities who desire to go north.

WE ARE NOT WAGERING MONEY ON CINGH GAME Grand Rapids Football “‘Sports” Wai t Company K to Go Up Against a ‘‘Sure Thing.” The Grand Rapids and Bemidii football teams are still making faces lat each other and they have not yet come to an agreement as to where they’ll play off the third game. Grand Rapids wants to play the game at Deer River, but the Bemidji team won’t stand for it. Better play the game at Cass Lake, boys— there’s lots of “fans” here who would like to see the game played out— and they won’t all “pull” for the same team either.—€ass Lake Times, The editor of this paper was responsible, in a measure, for the positive refusal of Company K -foot- ball team to play against Grand Rapids at Deer River. We know that Deer River and Grand Rapids are practically one, when it comes toa contest of this kind. Their baseball teams draw from each other for membership, and there is a friend ship between the two places that is akin to brotherly love. What one wants, the other assists it in getting. What the writer wants, in an athletic contest of any kind where there is real money put up, is a fair deal. And when Grand Rapids re- fuses to play anywhere else except at Deer River or Grand Rapids we know what means—a ‘‘cinch” for Grand Rapids. If the “Rapids” will get out of their own county and play some- where between the two places, $100 will be placed in the bank with alacrity—wagered that Ccmpany K will win, - Calling names don’t win games; and the ab’gyz is a fair proposition, in every particnlar. | We never bet on another man’s cinch game. We demand fair play, n!:en we bet our money.

In “The Lieutenant and the Cow- {boy”, Messrs, Pelton & Smutzor have a romantic drama wherein western life is most admirably pre- sented. It hasan interesting plot, which is new, and there is enough comedy in each scene to keep the audience in excellent humor from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Anyone who ever saw life in a fort on the western frontier will readily understand how realistic the scenes “THE LIELTZNANT.” and incidents are. The story has to do with soldiers, cowboys and Indians, but is by no means a cheap, rampart melodrama. On the con- trary, it is an absorbing story of real western life, true to the west, and is presented in a most admirable man- ner by an excepionally clever comp- any. There are no killings, no red fire, no burning of powder, for “The Lieutenant and the Cowboy” depends for its great success upon first-class acting. The company carries a complete scenic equipment for each act, and it may be safely said that this will be one of the real dramatic treats of the year. It comes to the City Opera House, Tuesday night, November 10th. There will be a regular meeting of Bemidji Lodge, K. of P. this evening and all members are requested to be present.
