WILLIAM MeCUAIG IS A CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR Suggested that Mr. McCuaig Would Be an Acceptable Candidate for All Factions to Unite on as the City’s Chief Executive. WILLIAM election of city Bemidji The annual officers for the City of will be held on February 15; and there has been some political eigparing” and maneuvers to decide on who would be the best person to proport candidate for mayor. Several good men have been mentioned; but during the past few days an understanding has besn reached whereby it is sug- gested that William McCuaig be unopposed as a candidate for mayor for the City of Bemidji for| the year 1910. This suggestion has met with| the outspoken approval of both factions which have, in former mu- nicipal campaigns, bitterly op- posed each other; and there is every hope that there will be a general rallying to the support of McCUAIG. Mr. McQuaig as the unanimous choice of the citizens of Bemidji as the chief ‘executive. William McQuaig has been a resident of Bemidji during the past ten years. He served as a member of the village council for two terms, prior to the adoption of the city charter, but would not again be a candidate for a member of the council. Mr. McCuaig has always been prominent in matters of public interest in the city, and being a heavy taxpayer and a prominent business man he would, 1f elected, undoubtedly give the city a splendid business adminstration. It is hoped that the agreement to unanimously support Mr, Mc- Cuaig will be adhered to, and that the “‘torrid” municipal fights of previous years will not be re- peated in the coming city election, JOINT INSTALLATION A VERY ENJOYABLE AFFAIR Rebekahs and Odd Fellows Seated New Officers.—Big Crowd Pres- ent.—Enjoyable Time.

ROE BEING URGED, ALDERMAN GANDIDATE Popular Business Manls Wanted to Represent Third Ward on the Council. While possible candidates for the forthcoming city election are being discussed, there is one gen- | tleman who is receiving the unani- mous commendation of the voters K. K. ROE. in his ward for alderman—K. K. Roe, who resides in the Third ward. The friends of Mr. Roe have for the past two weeks been urging upon him to ¢get into the council” and represent his neighbors on the board of city ‘‘dads;” and it is understood that the urging has be- come so insistant that Mr, Roe has announced his candidacy for alder- | man; and the residents of the Third ward could not do better than to unanimously support Mr. Roe for the position, as he would “make good” and serve them well, Mr. Roe came to Bemidji nine years ago, from Hendrum; and since he first set his foot within the city limits, K. K. Roe has been an in- tensely loyal supporter of and booster” for Bemidji. He has always been to the front in any matters that augured well for the advancement of the city as a whole; and no public movemrnt has ever been inaugurated in- which K. K. Roe did not take an active interest; and he has always been ready to re- spond to solicitations for subscrip tions to support any general enter- prise. Mr. Roe is the junior member of the grocery firm of Roe & Markusen; he owns his own hame, in addition to his business interests, and is actively identified with the business circles of the city. If elected alder- man, he would bring to the council experience that would be of much value to that body in its delibera- tions. Verner-Erwin Wedding. At the Remore hotel, this morning, Rev. S. E. P.

Ritchie Furnishes Pioneer With List of Names of Diligent Students.—Parents Should Examine List and Help Make Larger. [The Pioneer gives herewith a re- port, submitted by Prof. Ritchie, superintendent of the Bemidji schools, wherein is given the names of all scholars who have been neither tardy or absent; and the list of scholars who were neither, tardy or absent during the month of Decem- ber; and the list is a good one. There is some incentive to not being tardy or absent, the scholars who are per- fect in attendance being given a quarter-day holiday for their dili- gence. And this should be en- couraged, as the practice of being prompt will follow the pupils all through life and have much to do with their habits. Instil into the minds of your children a desire to be always prompt and steady in their attendance at school.—Editor.] To the Bemidji Pioneer: Gentlemen: — Herewith I hand you a list of the names of all pupils of the Bemidji scho Is who were neither tardy nor absent during the last school month. A similar list, with more detailed information, will be submitted each month for the remainder of the school y’ear. We earnestly hope that all parents will carefully ex- amine this list and help to make it larger. Respectfully yours, —A. P. Ritchie, Supt.
