DEMOCRATS TO CAUCUS Will Meet in Their Wards Tomorrow Evening to Elect Delegates to County Convention. GOOD STORY ON RUSSELL Precinct caucuses for the Demo- cratic party will be held in Bemidji tomorrow evening from seven to eight p. m. These caucuses are for the purpose of electing delegates to the county convention which will be held here, May 29. The county convention will elect delegates to the state convention to be held in Du- lath June 6, unless a direct primary bill is passed by the legislature in the mean time. Champ Clark buttons, showing a picture of a hound @og and with the words “You Gotta Quit Kickin’ My Dawg Around” on the edges, made their appearance in the city this morning and by the number of wear- ers would indicate that the Demo- cratic party of Bemidji has grown materially in the past four years. Bemidji Democratg are particular- ly interested in the gubernatorial campaign as it is understood that P. J. Russell will be a candidate for the nomination. Commenting on this, one of the twin city papers recently said that whether or not Mr. Rus- sell got the nomination, he would always be remembered by a Frank Day story. It seems that Frank Day was dis- penser of patronage under Governor Johnson ard that Mr. Russell, so the story goes, was dissatisfied with what was given Bemidji. Frank Day drop- ped into Bemidji one evening and thought he would talk with Mr. Rus- sell and endeavor to relieve the situ- ation. So he called Mr, Russell on the phone. “Hello, Mr. Russell. This is Frank Day. Was going through Bemidji, but thought I would drop in and see you for a minu “Frank Day ig 1t?” replied Mr. Russell, “Frank Day? Well, Mr. Day, you just keep right on going.” ' Yale University. -EVERYBODY’S DOIN’ IT RECITAL PROGRAM OUT.
