THE BEMIDJI D. . S ILY PIONEE VOLUME 8. NUMBER 15. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVEN!&G, MAY 5, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. GOV, AND KELLER GELEBRATE VIGTORY Eberhart and Mayor-elect Keller Attend St. Paul-Columbus Game at Lex- ington Park Yesterday. REPUBLICANS WON EVERYTHING EXCEPT BOARD OF ALDERMAN Democrats Bewildered.—People De- sired Change, Says Haas, Defeated Democratic Candidate. St. Paul, May 5—Herbert P. Kel- ler, the newly elected mayor of St. Paul, will be inaugurated June 7. The two-year terms of the treasurer, comptroller, justice of the peace, constables and members of the as- sembly and the board of aldermen will be commenced on that date. Mayor-elect Keller will deliver an inaugural address,”in which he has promised to launch several plans for the betterment of this city. As a celebration of Keller’s vic- tory, Governor Eberhart requested the future mayor to accompany him to the baseball game between St. Paul and Columbus, at Lexington Park yesterday. They occupied a box at the game. The republicans won the lead in everything on the ticket except the board of aldermen, in which the democrats retained a majority. All of the executive offices, mayor, comp- ) troller, treasurer, including the right of appointment to a large number of the smaller offices, were captured by the republicans. Considerable speculation was rife in St. Paul yesterday as to the reason for the republican landslide. Henry G. Haas, the defeated candi- date, declared that the people wanted a change. He said, “My record is as good asthat of any man in St. Paul. I have fought consistently for the people’s interets and have done as much as any man. The people wanted a change. They got it. I accept their verdict. T trust that Bert Keller will give a good administration: I am still loyal to St. Paul.” Democratic politicians do not know what hit them. They blame the increase of taxes for their defeat. Republicans also assert that the tax question was responsible for the victory, but give the newspapers credit for informing the voters about the various issues. Herbert P. Keller was elected mayor by a plurality of 4,918, the largest plurality ever given to a mayor ol St. Paul. Mr. Keller’s vote was 17,104 against a vote of 12,186 for Henry G. Haas, his Democratic opponent, of 837 for William McCue, Socialist-Labor. and of 422 for Frederick Miller, Public Ownership. Thus the total vote cast for mayor was 30,549, The vote for Daniel W. Lawler for mayor last year was 17,060, 44 below that of Keller this year. That of Joseph McKibbin last year was 13,098, 912 more than the vote for Haas this year. The names of the winners in the election follow: Mayor—Herbert P. Keller, Republican. Comptroller—William H. Farnham, Re- publican. Treasurer—S. A. Farnsworth, Repub- lican. Municipal Judges—John W.

Dry\ur of Cass Lake Pinned Under Lumber He Was Moving.—At Local Hospital. Cass Lake, May 5.—While moving a heavy load of lumber yesterday, a wheel of the truck broke through the walk and the Jload fell upon Herbert Dryer, injuring his legs and it is feared, hurting him internally. Dryer is an employee in the J. Niels Lumber company’s yards. He is 23 years old and very popular in Cass Lake. The injured man was hurried to the St. Anthony hospital at Bemidji, where he regained consciousness and is resting easily. Dryer’s friends, however, are in doubt whether he will survive the accident. Dr. Gilmore, who is attending Dryer at the local hospital, stated this morning that the man will live. The young man’s skull was fractured, but he was not fatally injured.

After yesterday’s formal opening it seems evident that George A. Hanson needs no further introduc- tion to the men, women and child- ren of Bemidji. His formal soda fountain opening was held yesterday afternoon and evening and was cer- tainly a rare treat to the lovers of the choice cold goods. 1If there was anyone in the city who did not at- .| tend it might be well to so inform Mr. Hanson. During most of the evening, standing room was at a premium. Though fifty or more could be served at one time, it was not enough to accomodate all, at times. Masten’s complete orchestra was there with music that did credit to the occasion. It was the kind of .| music that makes you say, ‘‘the more you hear the more you want to hear,” and it harmonized well with the dainty dishes served, for they were the kind, “the more you eat the more you want,” too. Six good looking waiters of the first rank were ever prompt and pleasant, and the service could not have been improved. 0 Twelve tables and four at a table filled from two-thirty in the after- noon until after ten in the evening will give some idea of how many people were served at thls popular opening. In less than two. hours’ time five hundred boxes of fancy candy was givenaway, It is safe tosay that over a thousand people attended this annual event ‘and ‘that that many dishes ‘of ice cream and soda were served, Mr. Hanson stated that the Masten band would play” at his store every Wednesday evening dur- ing the summer months. Itis this kind of service that counts in any kind of a store and it is this kind of service that has made this store what it is today. There i l; Pprobably not another store in N&them Minnesota better known for faticy cold dishes than is Hanson’s popular resort. Vaudeville *‘Stunt” at Armory Good.

Phon. 33 REGULARS ORGANIZE, AFTER INSURGENTS Aldrich Wants to Know What Policy of Senate Will Be, Conservative Or Radical. BREACH BETWEEN' REGULARS AND INSURGENTS WIDENING Tatt Favors Organization.—Aldrich Dis- cusses Possibilities of Defeat By Insurgents. Washington, D. C., May5— Through the formation yesterday of an organization which its leaders claim represents a clear majority of the senate, and to be made up wholly of republicans of the ‘“‘regu- lar” wing, a movement was started with intent to settle the question whether the senate shall remain conservative, become radical, or be thrown into political chaos so far as concerns any coherent policy in re- gard to the administration’s legis- lative program. Senator Aldrich called the “regu. lar” republicans together and con. fronted them with a grim description of the possible political effect of their apparent defeat the hands of the republicans and democrats in the fight over the traffic agreement section of the administra- tion railroad bill. He asked: his associates whether they were ready to submit to domination by such a combination. Any such surrender, he warned them, meant the failure of the TFaft policies and the downfall of conservative- control, not only in congress but in the republican party generally. Some one reminded Senator Aldrich that senators then and there gathered together were not in agreement on ail points, where- upon he replied that they must get together and let the details be secondary, Otherwise he said, congress would adjourn without a single item of the Taft program accompli;hed. The entire tone of this conference was belligerent to- ward the ‘“‘insurgents.” This was the dominant note: “insurgent” “‘Let us get together and stand as a unit ‘against every insurgent proposition. If ‘the insurgents propose anything good, we’ll take it over bodily and put it through as our own; but if they propose any thing bad, we’ll stamp it out.’ It was stated without reservation that President Taft had been kept fully advised of the situation and was_ entirely in sympathy with. the plan and virtually pledged to it. It was said in behalf of the conferees that while the measures which would be resorted to were heroic they were necessary in defense of the adminis- tration and the integrity of the republican party. To Senator Aldrich was given the leadership of the new movement. Heleft yesterday for Rhode Island and will ‘not return before Tues- day. The plan is meanwhile to“mark time” and endeavor to “hold the fort” while there will be many con- ferenees, at the White House and eleswhere and the details of the militant plan will be perfected. The intention is to avoid test votes on any subject of importance until next 'week, Every hour brings additional evidence of the widening breach be- tween the regulars and the insur- gents in both houses. Conservative republican ‘leaders with hardly an exception confess that in neither is there at present a coherent majority. Even those unfamiliar as 'yet with the plans of the new senate organi- zation seem to be awaiting the re- turn of President Taft to Washing- ton, to see'that, if anything, .he can and will do to induce or to compel action sufficiently harmonious to ‘get | at least some remnants of his pro- gram through congress. As matters stand now, the prospect from ‘the republican point of view is lnythmz . but’ lllnnnu. " WINNESOTA STORICAL SOCIETY. i 1 A
