Washington, March 13—It was an- nounced at Roosevelt headquarters here yesterday that Minnesota would be included in the western tour of Colonel Roosevelt and that he would probably visit Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. * Southwest Kansas Methodist Confer. Hutchinson, Mass.,, March 13.— Nearly three hundred Methodist min- isters from the southwestern part of Kansas and the northern portion of Oklahgma are in attendamce at the thirtieth annual session of the South- west Kansas Methodist conference, which opened here today at the First Methodist church. Rishop Robert Mclntyre, of St. Paul, is presiding at the conference, which will remain in session until next Monday. » Bryan in Ohio. Columbus, Ohio, March iam J. Bryan addressed the Ohio constitutional convention here yes- | terday and stated that the recall was evolution and not revolution. The only difference between recall and impeachment is that in the former the people judge and in the latter it is done by a body of officials. » 13—Will- To Organize for Roosevelt. Seattle, Wash., March 13.—Thej | Roosevelt League has completed ar- rangements for the state convention to be held here tomorrow, at which aggressive campaign in Washington in 2 interest of the Roosevelt can- didacy. The league will oppose the “regular” state organization, which has declared for the renomination of President Taft. » Dies After University Party. Duluth, March 13—Miss Marie Erd died in Minneapolis yesterday morn- ing. She had gone to the University two weeks ago to attend a party of the Alpha XI Delta sorority. She caught cold and. it settled into pneu- monia from which she died. She was twenty-three years old and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Erd. Miss Erd graduated from the Duluth Central High school in 1907 and the University of Minnesota in the class of 1911, Miners Want Wages Raised. Des Moines, la., March 13.—Union miners from all the mining sections large numbers to attend the state meeting called to meet in this city It seems practically a foregone conclusion that the men at their meeting will make a demand for a raise in wages of ten cents a ton and of twenty per cent for day work. Should the operators refuse to grant the increase demanded, it is state will stop on April 1, until a new wage scale is agreed upon. . Kansas Lining Up for Clark. Hutchinson, Kas., March 13.— Nearly all of the 617 delegates who will comprise the Democratic state convention to be held here tomorrow have arrived in the city. The Demo- crats regard the outlook for the suc- cess of their party in Kansas this year as unusually bright and the con- vention promises to be an enthusias- mitteeman. The predominance of the Clark sentiment is so marked that it is not believed the Wilson adher- ents will attempt seriously to pre- vent the indorsement of the Missour- ian. The indications are that the name of no other aspirant for the! Democratic presidential nomination will be mentioned. = I Favor Roosevelt in Oklahoma.

COUNTRY IS BEING SETTLED An unusual shipment of farm ma- chinery was received in Bemidji on Monday when the Given Hardware company had a car load of imple- ments spotted in front of their ware- house. The machinery is all of the John Deere line and was consigned by the Deere and Webher people of Min- neapolis. - Machinry by the car load is a good indication of the growth of the farm- ing industry in this vicinity. It was not so long ago that machinery was shipped here in single lots and not much of it at that. The Given Hard- ware company erected its warehouse some time ago and has since been able to handle the implements in larger quantities. Buying in quan- tity also saves the farmer a margin on his goods. The following are a few of the machines and implements that were in the car received: walking plows; sulky plows, disc harrows, harrows, Hentucky seed drills, potato planters, potato sprayers, potato diggers, gar- den planters and diggers, farm and road wagons, and ocvered .buggies. The Given Hardware company car- vies a full line of farm tools and ma- chines. . FIRE PREVENTION MEETING| Minnesota State Association Coming to Bemidji for Session on i " March 21. MAY LEAD TO RATE ADJUSTMENT L Louis L. Law, secretary of the Minnesota State Fire Prevention as- sociation, has written to the Bemid- j1 Commercial club that the associa- tion will hold a meeting here on Thursday, March 21. The visiting men will come here from Crookston where they will hold a meeting on | the 20th, This meeting was previously plan- ned for June but it was learned that a meeting could be held here follow- ing the ome in Crookston and the matter was taken up at once. This vigit of inspetcion will be made with- out any expense to Bemidji or the Commercial club, but the-association | asks that it be given a return of a fuil attendance at the sessioms. The announcement that the state people will visit Bemidjl so soon comes as a surprise and leaves but a week for the clean-up advocated in the Pioneer last night. The associa- tion is powerless to. lower rates but where its inspection shows that the rates are unjust, it recommends to the companies interested that the rates be readjusted. It is believed by local business men that the city can be cleaned up at once and a plea for lower rates made effective. GOULD ELECTED PRESIDENT Succeeds Tom Burke as Head of the Commercial Club for the Com- ing Year. WALKER HERE FRIDAY NIGHT W. A. GOULD, President. W. A. Gould was elected president of the Bemidjj Commercial club at tbe annual meeting held last evening. Mr Gould succeeds Tom Burke, who refused re-election. Other officers are A. P. White and B. W. Lakin, vice-presidents; J. L. George, treas- urer; and Homer Baer, secretary. A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Burke for the good work he had done during the past year. The mem: bers appeared to feel that his had been the guiding spirit and that a large measure of credit was due him (Continued on 1ast page) | Taft.

[ While ready to admit that they hay i4osi the fight so far as the state con-| snifon is concerned, the Taft peo- \ple believe they will 'be able to cap- | {ture some of the district delegates, | thus preventing a solid Roosevelt | delegation from Oklahoma. “HATS ALL IN” through the windows but she falls P09 0000060060606 4 BEMIDJI BRIEFS. 4 9000000000000 0600 The county commissioners will bold their regular meeting in the court house tomorrow. . Oscar Baker, of Baudette, pleaded guilty yesterday afternoon to a charge of arson in the first degree. He was said to have set fire to a’ building in which was housed a woman and several children.

William Dickenson appeared in police court this morning on a charge of disorderly conduct to which he pleaded not guilty. In the testimony it was brought out that he resisted officers when they entered his hotel to look for a woman. He was found guilty and drew $15 and costs or thirty days.

Oman, clerk; Al J. Hole, treasurer; Frank Ives, justice; George Dederick, con- stable. Election was quiet and or- derly all day, Sheriff DeLury and County Attorney Funck present all day. Dr. Dumas made the following statement regarding the result: “The opposition was too strong. I had to make my fight alone. The victor is a good clean man and I belleve the object because of his poverty: Ham- {lton, disguised as newspaper report- er, calls on his old friend Edwardson, hoping to learn of Mabel’s arrival His identity is revealed by a comical accident but his relation to the Pler- reponts remains unknown. Edward- son who had planned to play a joke on his wife by disguising himself as a reporter and try to commit her to a flirtation is persuaded by Hamilton to let him impersonate the newspa- per man while the husband shall con- ceal himself in an adjoiping room and overhear all. Mrs. Edwardson and Mabel overhear part of this and decide to outwit the men and dis- guise Mrs. E. who shall try to make her husband commit himself when he calls in his assumed role. Hamilton schemes to turn the joke on both the Edwardsons by getting Mabel to act as the disguised wife. Intermission.

Various and unsuccessful efforts were made to draw him into conversation. At length one of them said: “Come, sir; I know you are one of us. Tell us what you are traveling in.” “Young man,” answered the tor- mented one, glaring at his interlo- cutor. “I am traveling in very ob- jectionable and inquisitive company, and the carriage is full of samples.” He wasn't disturbed after this.— Tit-Bits. 7 A Presumptuous Teacher.

Koll who managed the cam- paign for the victor when interview- ed, stated that the result of the elec- tion speaks for itself. “The eyes of the state were on us and we made good.” Bagley, March 13.—(Special to the Bemidji Pioneer).—The license tick- et, headed by Frank Norquist, coun- ty treasurer, won in one of the most bitter and sensational political fights ever pulled off in the village of Bag- ley. While the wets are jubilant, the drys are wondering how the county treasurer, elected by the peo- ple of the county, who are ninety per cent against licensed saloons, is going to explain his position. Know- ing county optionists claim that this is the first move in the secret com- pact recently entered into between three county officers and the.brew- eries to defeat every county option- ist next fall and carry the county for an anti-optionist member of the legislature. A rumor of a compact of this kind has been in circulatior for some time, but very little atten- tion was paid to it, as no one seemed to believe that there was any county officer who had the backbone to enter into a fight of this kind. Be it as it may, there is a tempest in the Clear- water county political tea pot that will only be quieted down after the election next fall. Ticket elected: President—Frank Norquist.
