BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1910; ROOSEVELT “ALL IN” OPINES STEENERSON Crookston Congressman in Bemidji Says Former President no Longer Political Power GLEEFUL OVER RESULT IN STATE Believes Victory Here Was Due to Good Men on Platform Backed By People. “In my opinion we have seen the last of Theodore Roosevelt as a political power of any great import- ance in this country,” said Congress- mau Halvor Steenerson who is in Bemidji today, in commenting on the defeat of Stimson, the republi- can candidate for governor of New York. “The result in New York state,” continued Mr. Steenerson, “indicates that Mr. Roosevelt has become about the same nonentity in politics as has Mr. Bryn. The tremendous popu'arity of Colonel Roosevelt when he returned from the jungles of Africa appears to have been on the wane for several months. He apparently staked his political reputation on the outcome of New York and fought as he has never fouzht before and lost. "I do not believe a man who puts up that kind of a fight can ever again pose as a real leader or the de fender of the people’s rights, much as that may disnearten his euthu- siasts in the west. Of course this indicates his removal from the list of possible republican candidates for president in 1912. “I do not say this 1n a spirit of criticism for 1 admire much that Colonel Roocsevelt has done. I have been told that his greatest mistake in the New York camgaign was his violent condemnation of all persons who favored in any way the ‘old guard’ and maay good men objscred to being called ‘dishonest and in- decent’ merely because they chap- pened to have friendship for the old time leaders.” Of the result Steenerson saic: It was a splendid victory won by men worthy of leadership standing on a platform advocating all issues which are to the best interests of Minresota. Of course the election of Mr. Hammond still gives our Con- gressional delegation a democratic tinge but the victory in the first is encouraging and the second district will wheel into line sooner or later. Governor Eberhart is to be con- gratulated on his great race.” Congressman Steenersen refused to comment on the winning of the lower house by the democrats.

He and Stephens ran for the republican ticket, the county option question | . being the issue of the campaign, A hard fight was put up but Step- bens finally carried the county by a majority of slightly over 150, It then appeared that A.

Shortly after the smoke of battle had cleared away it was announced that Saug- stad would adopt the “sticker” method and run against S:ephens in the general election. Little was thought of this”move at first as a large number figured that he could do practically” nothing with the stickers. The Stephens men, how- ever, lined up immediately and be- 2an a hard fight against Saugstad.

SAUGSTAD'S STICKERS |DEER AND MOOSE SEASON DEFEATA.D. STEPHENS| - OPENS; HAUNTS REVEALED SAFETY HINTS FOR HUNTERS By “Caine” Courtesy St. Paul Dispatch Preparing to Assassinate A Moose. How to confine the slaughier to deer and moose without bagging a bunch of men is a problem quite as easy as solving the perpetual motion. It has been suggested that each hunter before he takes aim at a moose or deer set off a skyrocket, then mcunt a stump and yell this three times at the top of his voice: “Know all men by these remarks that I, John Smith, of Bemidji, am about to shoot the gizzard out of a moose making faces at me from be- hind a certain pine tree four rods to the right.” T By “Caine” Courtesy St. Paul Dispatch, For Protection of ‘“The Other Fellow.” Still another life saving experi- ment for the man in ambush - is sug- gested by “Caine,” the clever artist of the St. Paul Dispatch. “Caine’s” idea is that a man should make as much noise as possible.

Beginning today, and continuing until December 1. it is legal to shoot moose and deer in Minnesota, pro- vided the above rulesare obeyed. During the past few days many bhuntsmen have arrived in Bemidji from southern points and, together with more than a dozen sportsmen from this cityare today in the depths of the forest to get first shots at the big game. Dan Rose of this city, one of the best nifie and shotgun experts in northern Minnesota, and a recog- nized authority on the haunts of big game, says: “The fires in northern Beltrami county have caused the moose which formerly inbabited the country along the Rainy river, north of the Rapid river, to move toward the south IT IS UNLAWFUL— To hunt deer with dogs.

I know of many ‘bunches’ of moose and numberiess deer in these sections. I have watched them and know their ‘stamping grounds.’ Deer are especially plenti- ful. How to Get the Big Ones. *Parties who desire going into the ‘wilderness’ for the ‘big ones’ could not do better than to get into touch with E. A. Feldman or David Rose, Jr., at Northome, or O. L: Brown, at Margie, who know every foot of land in the three counties, and are especi- ally well informed in the matter of big game.” S. C. Bailey of this city, warden for the State Game and Fish com- mison, has done much the past sev- eral mouths for the protection of big game, and has a number of convict- ions lately of ** sooners ”” who have bgen hunting big game. He says: *“The light fall of snow will prove of considerable benefit to the hunters in tending to form a carpet over the leaves on the ground in the timber and somewhat deaden the hunters’ stalking, altEough there has not been sufficient snow to make these condit- ions ideal. Where to Find Deer. “That there are deer and moose in plentiful numbers I am certain, from my personal observations. In addi- tion to the most excellent hunting grounds in the north and northeast n the Red Lake country, there is excellent hunting neater home, rang- ing north from the upper shore of Lake Bemidji to lower Red lake and In Doubt. HAZEN STILL LEADS FOR SHERIFF Opponent, However, Now Creeping Up And Missing Precincts May Mean - His Election. IBERTSON ALSO IN CLOSE CONTEST Election of James George for Auditor Appears Certain With Krantz Run- ning Strong Second. With 20 precincts still missing, Thomas Bailey, independent candi- date for sheriff, is crawling up on his opponent, A. B. Hazen, in the contest for sheriff and has reduced his opponent’s lead which at one time was 231, down to 149. The vote in the missing precincts should favor Bailey and this leaves the fight for this office still a question of doubt. The last precinct to make official returns, this afternoon, to County Auditor Hayner was the town of Buzzle which gave Hazen 5 and* Bailey 27. Kelliner is still missing but Baudette and Spooner have been heard from unofficially and to- gether. .give Hazen of 13. a' majority ' The county auditor has . . € received official returns from 31 precincts, one more than half the total number in the county, and these show the vote for sheriff, — Hazen, 1049; Bailey, 818. This gives Hazen a lead on these figures of 231. i Unofficial figures, given, however, Ly election judges trom 10 other pre- cincts, reduce Hazen’s lead to 149. The contest between Henry Funk- ley, the republican nominee, and Alvin M. Crowell, independent candidate for the office of county attorney is extremely close with the indications in favor of Mr. Crowell’s election. The official returns from 31 preclocts give Funkley 952 and Crowell 883, a lead for Mr. Funkley of 69. As in the case of the race for “sheriff additional unofficial re- turns have been received which re- duce the Funkley lead to less than 30 votes. M. E. Ibertson, the republican nominee, leads for coroner over Dr. C. J. Larson, the public ownership (Socalist)candidate, the official re- turns from 31 precincts giving Ibert- both eastward and westward.

And, by the way, it 13 a tale often told of the hunters who bave pursued big game in this vicinity, that when deer and moose are chased from cover they will invariably make for the state park, seeming to be endowed with the instinct that within the park (where killing of game is prohibited) is their haven of safety.” The ladies of the Methodist church will serve a chicken pie dinner in the Odd Fellows hall Sat.
