At anclection eve rally under the auspices of the Minnesota Anti- Saloon league in the Bemidji opera house last evening., Rev. Father Reardon of St. Paul delivered a dramatic excoriation of the liquor ioterests, declared county option a success, said half the United States was already without saloons and predicted an extention of prohibition in Minnesota. C. Walden of Crookston presided and he improved the opportunity to say some bitter things about Abert Berg of Spooner and Iver Krohn of Shevlin, who seek to be- come members of the legislature D.P.O’Neil of Thief River Falls who was publicly endorsed asa candidate for state representative also spoke. It was his first appearance before a Bemidji audience. He deplored the attitude of the Bemidji newspapers and gave his views regarding a new normal school in this part of the state. ‘The following short extract is taken from a stenographic report of Mr. O’Neill’s address. I want to make my position clear as to how I stand in regard to legis- lation in this district. The news- papers have saw fit to set me out and apart from this district. I read from one of your papers, that ‘A, L. Han- son and D. P. O’Neil are a good pair and a good pair for the voters to beat.’ “Gentlemen. I am very sorry that they have saw it to inject sectionalism into this contest. I want to say that the people of northern Minnesota should have one representation inthe legislative body of this state. “I want to say to you that I was confronted here, yesterday, by a man in business who said, ’O’Neill, you'r all right. We know you're all right. We know you’ve had the experience and we know you've got the nerve Lut you’re not right on the normal school question.’ “Now I want to make you right as to where I stand, I do not be- lieve that there is any feeling in this state for the creation of the sixth normal school. I am per- sonally acquainted with every member of the last legislature and with those who will probably be in thz next and I do not believe that, were [ to introduce a normal school bill for my city, that I could stand a shadow of paasing that bill. We cannot get it urless all northern Minnesota goes together to get it. We need re-districting in northern Minnesotaand I am in favor of tie extension of the Put- man agricultural bill.” Father Reardon said in part: "It gives me great pleasure in- deed to have this opportunity of meeting such a large and presumably representative audience of the people of Bemidji, especially because their presence here is an indication of the fact that they are at least inter- ested in the question of the temper- ance reform in the state of Minne- sota. ““Among the important ques- tions before the American people today clamoring for Solution, that of temperance reform is one of the greatest. Some would be inclined to say the greatest. “Whether we are to outlaw the saloon entirely and to have national prohibition or whether we are to legislate for the proper regulating of it is no reason why we should off- €r an apology for bringing the liquor traffic question to their notice. ‘‘Indeed, private citizens of this country as well as men in public life are awaking to the fact that Election Refurns The Daily Pioneer headquart- ers for election returns will be established tonight at the Mark- ham hotel. In connection with the Mark- ham management arrangements have been perfected whereby re- turns will be received from every available precinct in the county. The Pioneer-Markham service also will include telegraphic and telephone reports from outside points. Special provision has been made to give at the earliest' mo- ment returns on the various con- gressional contests, particularly our own ninth district and the first district where James A. Tawney is in danger. As the polls do not close until 9 p.m., both in the city and country, the returns must neces- sarily be late. the question of the proper regula- tion of the lignor traffic in America will have to be met in the very near future, and 1 would fain beheve that when the people of America find a rational and adequate solu- tion of the liquor problem so far as the citizens of this country are concerned, they shall have found areasonable andrational solution for all civilized nations, and I have grave reason to believe that if America does not find it, no one will, “It cannot be denied that a great change has taken place in the senti- ment of this country in regard to the liquor traffic, within the last five years—a chaoge which must be credited in a large measure at least to the zeal of the temperance forces, working togetber against determined opposition. ‘At the present time almost ome half the population of American live in districts and states from which the saloon has been abandoned by a vote of the people. We do not rea- lize the immense change which has taken place during the past ten years. We do not realize that almost 45, 000,000 American citizens live in districts where it is impossible to obtain liquor in accordance with the requirements of law. *“Local option is American in prin- ciple and it is democratic in prin- ciple but even the most enthusiastic do not obtain that it is a panacea for the liquor traffic. But it isa fact that it has been a pronounced success wherever conditions have been favorable for its operation. “The saloon aims at the corney- stone of our rights as citizens by fastening itself upon the body politic and placing its own shackle upon that of the state and nation. It thrives because of political corrupt- ion. It is dependent upon that for its existence. It makes no secret of the fact that it is in politics for the purpose of sending to the halls of legislature candidates pledged to vote as it dictates.” Election returns at the Rex hotel tonight.

La Crosse, Wis., Sept. 20—The bitterest fight ever made to defeat James A. Tawney of the Firsl Min- nesota district closed last night with speeches by two Wisconsin insurgents, Thomas Morris and Otto Basshard Preston, and those who are closest to the situation say that Sydney Anderson, pro- gressive, has more - than an even chance to win, ez Tawney’s strength lies largely in Winona county, but Olmstead county is considered the pivotal county. The Wisconsin candidate for insur- ance commissioner, returning today from the campaign in Tawney’s district, says that while Tawney has a magnificent machine, constiucted through 18 years of federal patron- age, he believes he will be defeated by the rural vote in the primary.

Because Bemidji believes in pay- ing moral obligations as well as legal, the council last night voted $100 to Bacon & Snow, propriators of the skating rink, as part of the judgment against them secured by Emma Thorson. The city might not legally be held to account for this debt which represents damages awarded Mrs. Thorson for a fall on the sidewalk last winter but as the offending sidewalk was the result of orders from the city, the council be- lieved it only fair that part of the $240 damages be paid by the munici- pality. - * A poor fund of $100 was voted. It was also agreed that g550 be appropriated to purchase property from J. H. French on Park avenue to pay for property needed in widening that thoroughfare, A new fire ordinance was read which makes it prohibitory to erect any but fireproof buildings in the down town district. e fltqnism. / e Election returns at the Rex hotel MANY AT OTTO FUNERAL Militia Assembles as Escort of Honor For Beloved Woman.

LIGHT VOTE IS CAST; - BERG LOOKS LOSER Tide Appears to Have Turned Against Spooner Man in Favor of Senator Hanson, RED LAKE RUMORS DENIED EarlyReports Were to Effect That There Was Much Disorder at Indian Agency. Although weather conditions are perfect, a comparatively light vote is being cast at today’s primary elec- tion. This is taken as an indication that the men now in office are for the most part being favored. The most startling indications up to late this afternoon was that Sena- tor A. L. Hanson and D. P. O’Neill, candidates respectively for state senator and representative were run- ning strong and friends of Albert Berg and Iver Krohn are much dis- couraged. From Clearwater county comes the same forecast—a landslide for Hanson and O’Neill. In the city of Bemidji at 3 p. m. scarcely half of a full vote had been cast, but as the polls do not close until 9. p. m. it is expected that a fairly large vote will yet be cast. In the first ward the voting is be- ing done at the Mageau store and early this afternoon 75 votes had been cast. The second ward votes are be- ing cast at the city balland here 123 men had voted. The ithird ward ballots are cast at Pogue’s Barn and they numbered 100 at 2 p. m. The tourth ward voters had cast 86 at the same time. Tom Smart’s barn is the voting place. This made a total of 364 but the rush of votes which always comes at the close of the day is expected to swell the grand total to around 80o0. A sensational rumor was spread about noon to the effect that there was fights and much disorder at the Red Lake Indian agency because of alleged frauds at the polls. A telephone message at 3 p. m. from Red Lake said that up to noon only 38 votes had been cast and that there had been no disorder. Light Vote Throughout State. St. Paul, Sept. 20—(Daily Pioneer Special Wire Service)—A light vote is being cast at the primary election here today. This is believed to favor the renominaiion of Congress- man Stevens who is opposed by Hugh T. Halbert. Reports from throughout the state is to the effect that the vote is light, except in the second district where Congressman Hammond is opposed for renomination off the democratic ticket by Oscar Quigley of West- brook. There are two republicans trying for the honor, Ellsworth of St. James and Ward of Fairmont.
