While the_Socialists naturally are optimistic as to their chances of vie- tory, unprejudiced political prophets are not willing to concede many vie- tories. “This is what will happen,” today said a man who ought to know. “Malzahn will make a good run but Bill McCuaig is going to be the next mayor. Three years ago McCuaig got 307 votes; two years ago 312 and a year ago 315. He holds those 300 votes in the palm of his hand and this year he will get a good many more and in a fleld of four, its a einch for him. The Public Ownership (Socialist) party announces the following licke(: 10 be voted on the election to be held | here on February 20: Mayor—Fred M. Malzahn. City clerk—Garfield AKerbers. | Treasurer—Earl Geil. First ward—N. L. Hakkerup. Second ward—Thomas W. Bell. Third ward— . W. Hannah. i Fourth ward—Charles Knopke. | Assessor Evan Carson. What They Want to Do. | | If the Socialists of Bemidji hap- pen to gain control of the city gov-| ernment, here are some of the things they are pledged to do: Increase the liquor license in Be- midji. Secure bids on all public work and to employ home labor. Purchase hook and ladder and oth- er equipment for the fire depart- ment. | Establish weights and measures| department o insure correct weights of coal; measures of wood and other commodities. Establish free employment office. Establish free rest room and lflv»l oratories for women. Establish sanitary drinking foun- tains. Resign Before Being Elected. To all these things, and then some, each of the above candidates has pledged himself and has placed him- self at the mercy of those who may put them into office in the following unique manner, described by the So- cialists as “make shift recall.” Bach candidate has written out his resignation for the office to which he may be elected. If he succeeds in being elected he must, declare the Socialists, live up to their platform and principles; or retire to private life. What Their Plan Provides. Explaining this point the Social- ists say: “The date on this resignation is left blank and can be filled in any time after election. If the elected official proves fo be crooked; it he refuses to work for and try to carry out the principles and program of his party, or for any other reason is considered a traitor, the party or- ganization having jurisdiction over him simply votes to present his resig- nation to the proper officials and he is recalled from office. A mnew elec- tion is held and another man more worthy takes his place.” The suggestion of an election to fill such a vacancy could be carried out so far as expressing the voice of the Socialists ig concerned but the power of filling a vacancy rests en- tirely with the council. The Socialist platform contains the following: Planks From the Platform. “Much has been said regarding the Socialists’ attitude toward high li- cense and the liquor problem. Now we do not know, or assume to know what the developments in the near future may bring in regards to the sale of liquors in our city and state. We realize that the abuses coming from the sale of intoxicating liquor in Bemidji are more numerous than they should be. “We recognize property rights and the rights of individuals with the city’s duty toward them, but, second to nothing can be the welfare and safety of the people and the future prosperity of our city. “We believe that a higher license for selling intoxicating liquor is the next step to be taken and to that end we pledge our candidates.

Bingleton Dlscovers a New Situa- tion With Danger From Street Beggars. “For a long time,” said Mr. Bingle- ton, “I have made it a custom to look carefully in either direction before s4Ipping to look in at a show window, doing this to avold being taken bYJ sarprise by beggars. Now I have dis- covered another street situation in Waich one must take like care. “Walking along the street this morn- fng I became conscious that one of my shoestrings was untied and I looked along for a convenient store step on which I could put my foot up; and there I did pat it up, and I was | busily engaged in tying the string, | working away at it with no other| thought in the world, when— *“Mister,’ I heard a voice at- my ear, ‘can you give me five cents to get & cup of coffee?

He was within my guard, and I gave up, not because I thuught I ought to, but because of my inward appreciation of the work of a man who evidently was always on the jon, ever alert and letting no chance escape him.” Walnuts High In Food Value. The food value of walnuts is very high. They are very rich in fat, con- taining as much as 63 per cent, while tka proteins amount to nearly 16 per cent. It has been calculated that 80 large walnut kernels contain as much fai tas 23 pounds of lean beef, and Yet the walnut 1s used as a supple- ment to a square meal. Added to this the glass of port, say two fluld ounces, contains besides 180 grains of aicohol, 70 grains of grape sugar. In tie combination, therefore, we have ali the elements which make for a cumplete diet—viz.: Fat, protein, car- bohydrate, to which may be added mineral salts. Port and walnuts after ® meal are therefore, from a nutritive point of view, “ridiculous excess,” and may lead to digestive disturbance. Both walnuts and port wine contain tsunin, which is unsuited to some con- &titutions, | | | Broken-Hearted Dog. The Society for the Prevention of | Cruelty to Animals in Monticello, N. Y., will exercise its authority by put- ting an end of the sufferings of a little cocker spaniel named Buttons, which has apparently lost its mind, following the death of his master. The little dog for years has been the steady companion of Louls McGrain of New York, who succumbed to tuberculosis here last summer. Buttons since the death of his master has been griet stricken, and has refused to be petted or to take food from friends of Mr. McGrain.

He had the naivete to laugh at this fancy 'concerning the wolf whose hide now: adorns the floor of his office in the Capitol. The animal was an unusually large one, its pelt measuring @ little more than six feet from the tip of the nose to the last hair on the tail. It was one of the pretty gray and white furred wolves common to the neigh- borhood around the Big Fork river. The rangers of the forestry depart- ment are reporting an unusually large number of wolves in the north- ern woods this winter, attracted it is believed, from Canada by the great numbers of rabbits, also noted as un- usual.

New Haven, “Conn., Jam. 20.— Speaking before the New Haven chamber of commerce last night, President Taft made a pléa for the continuance of his economy and effi- ciency commission declared that the ‘administration has no desire to “per- secute” business, but that it will con- tinue to enforce the law against mon- opoly and unlawful combinations; and urged the business men of the country to get together with him to insure prosperity. Senator Bailey of Texas, an earlier speaker, although he called himself gounded a warning against the increasing danger of so- clalism. To this warning the presi- dent took exception. “Ithink,” the president sald, “we are not as mear that which he fears and I should fear if I thought we were near it, socialism. I have abid- ing faith in the American people. I have abiding faith after a time, for they will come back and discriminate between what is good cloth and what is festian.” “What we need is prosperity. Lack | of prosperity does not make the rich uncomfortable, it is the lack of pros- perity that makes the poor uncom- fortable. What I hope is we’ll all get . together for good team work to bring about prosperity.” The president did not begin speak- ing until late and his address was short, In-its relations to the rail- roads, the trusts, the tariff and the currency, the government vitally touches business, he said. He ex- plained the change that has come in the attitude of the railroads to leg- islation affecting them now on the statute books, and which they op- posed vigorously a few years ago. Recent decisions of . the supreme court in' the two “great cases,” he said, had paved the way for business to live within the anti-trust law. /Miss Hazel Wells went to Cass Lake Friday morning where she will substitute as teacher in the city schools for two weeks.
