GENERAL INVITATION SENT OUT Poultry keepers of Bemidji and vi- cinity have been invited to attend a school auditorium at which time chickens are to be the subject for discussion.

Bergh, of the High school faculty, has called the meet- |ing and states that 150 individual in- vitations have been sent to those who are poultry raisers. All persons in- terested in chicken culture are asked to attend the meeeting without fur- ther inyitation. It issaid that a poultry club will be organized and that its purpose will be to arrange meetings at which in- formation may be traded and methods of raising poultry discussed.

BIG JUMP TAKEN IN STANTON STOCK Large. Vote From International Falls Gives Him Lead in the Pio- neer Contest. ROOSEVELT AGAIN ON TOP Apparently Has Safe a Margin Over LaFollette in Race For the Presidency. CONTEST CLOSES Final Count of Ballots to be Certi- fied by George Rhea and by H. C. Baer. First Second Roosevelt . 295 22 LaFollette . 260 36 Taft . 257 16 Wilson 235 14 Debs . 235 0 Stanton . 293 8 Gordon . . 252 9 Eberhart . 244 8 Dunn . 242 5 Lee 239 19 Out of sixty ballots received this morning from International Falls, collected at Hotel Koochiching, in the Pioneer straw vote, Judge C. W. Stanton, of Bemidji, received fifty- two, placing him at the head of the {lst of candidates for governor by a wide margin. Of fifty-eight ballots cast on the presidency Theodore Roosevelt received twenty-six, which with ballots from other localities again places him in the lead by a good margin. The majority of the ballots count- meeting:{omorrow night in the Highled by the Pioneer- today- came-from the northern part of the state where it would appear that Roosevelt and Judge Stanton are the popular candi- dates. Recent editorial comment from papers in that section is that the judge will make the run when the time comes. In a poll of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas, and Montana tak- en by the St. Paul Dispatch, Roose- velt has received 8,233; LaFollette, 4,856; Debs, 1,243 and Taft 791. Straw votes in other sections of the country appear to give Roosevelt an overwhelming majority. LaFollette appears on the majority of polls as second choice. Stanton has distanced his near op- ponents in the state race and his friends seem confident that he will hold the place until the end of the contest. BEberhart, Dunn and Lee are having a close race of their own, but five votes separating the first from the last. A peculiar fact noted in today’s ballots is that but a few ex- press any second choice. As the ballots have been coming in heavily during the past three days, the contest has been extended until next Saturday night. It is hoped that every reader will have cast a vote by that time. The final count will be certified to by George Rhea, of the Northern National bank, and Homer Baer of the Security bank. BROTHER KILLED IN ACCIDENT.
