MISS HETLAND GIVES RECITAL. Boys' Camp to Pitch Tents. Slept In High School Gym Last Night. DAIRY SPECIALIST MAY SPEAK. May Take Place On Program of Mar- keting Poultry Pro- ducts. The first evening session of the University week was held at the high school auditorium last night at which Dr. J. S. Young gave an address on the Commission Form of Government. The auditorium was well filled and Dr. Young proved himself that cali- ber of a speaker who holds an audi- ence from the beginning to the end. He called attention to the cities now having this form of government and pointed out the advantages of these cities over the ward system. He stated further that he did not think the present form now in cpera- tion was by any means an ideal form of government, but believed that it was an improvement and that it could be moulded into an ideal form to suit the needs of the various com- munities. Miss Harriet Hetland recited “Polly of the Circus” and the ova- tion and repeated applause she re- ceived is self-evident of her ability| as a dramatic student. | «The sessions throughout the are being well interest is shown in the work locally. The boys camp at the fair grounds is one of the liveliest scenes e witnessed. The tents did not arrive in time to house the campers last| night so the boys arranged sleeping qguarters in the High school gymna- sium.

Declares He Would Punish White Men Who Bribe Negro Voters. * Chicago, June 18.—On leaving the auditorium Roosevelt south side to address a meeting of negroes. He was introduced by A. H. Robertson who said: “Of all the people in America, the black people are the people who want a president that has not got a spaghetti back- bone.” Colonel Roosevelt advocated policies and gave what could be call- ed a sermon. Its burden was that the black man should receive a square deal. “There are white men,” said he, “of the type so low that I cannot suf- ficiently reprehend it, who endeavor to debauch the colored men by buy- attended and more | yf; went to the| AT THE BIG CONVENTION HARRY S. NEW, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON ARRANGE- ‘MENTS. WILL PLAY AT BAGLEY Game Scheduled For Next Sunday. Bray Thinks Bemidji Team Joke ALL NATION TEAM FOLLOWS. George Rhea received a letter from B. R. Bray, manager of the Bagley base ball team regarding the arrange- ments for a game at Bagley next Sun- day. Tinal arrangements have been- completed and the boys will leave for the metropolis of Clearwater county Sunday afternoon. Accord- ing to Mr. Bray’s letter, the Bagley boys consider it a sort of joke to play the Bemidji team and he asks that Bemidji send the best it can find, as Bagley has “Some Ball Team.” The letter follows: June 17th, 1912, Bagley, Minn. r. George Rhea, Bemidji, Minn. Dear Sir:— Mr. Reff was in my shop this af- jternoon and informed me that you as manager of the Bemidji base ball team had agreed to play a game with our team here next Sunday, June 28rd. Now we want your team to come on the afternoon train, which arrives here at 4:23 p. m. and we will call the game at 5 o’clock sharp. In previous years it has been a cus- tom for Bemidji to send a bunch of kids away from home. Now the citi- zens of Bagley want nothing of this kind for they are in the habit of see- ing good games here and we want you to send the best Bemidji has, as, weak one. The team is greatly strengthened since they played at Bemidji, they having defeated the Fosston team ‘| twice during the past week. Yours for a good game, E. R. Bray, Manager. On Junec 30 the Bemidji team will play a game with the All Nation team, which is considered one of the best in the country. This team has members comprising nine_different nationalities, having as slab artist a Cuban, who is considered National league calibre. The following week Walker will give the boys a return game, which will in all probability be in Bemidji. After these games it is likely that the tie game played here with Thief River Falls will be settled.

(Copyrie "TEN CENTS PER WEEK. LAFOLLETTE MEN STICK They Will Not Bolt with Roosevelt Delegation at Any Event. | NO. DAKOTA OPPOSES GRONNA Chicago, June 18—North Dakota’s La Follette delegation joined willing- ly in the decision mad¢ by La Fol- a candidate for temporary chairman. The question already had threatened trouble among North Dakota dele- gates and most of the delegates were glad to drop it. 5 -When_ the suggestion first was made that Governor McGovern of! Wisconsin be put forward by the La Follette men for chairman, the name of Senator Gronna was put forward also. It was urged that the La Fol- lette candidate might better come from a state other than Wisconsin, and as Gronna had been largely in- strumental in getting La Follette his only outside delegates he was fav- ored by some as the logical selection. But this started trouble in North Dakota’s delegation. Several dele- gates raised objections at once to Gronna on the ground that he is not standing by the progressive organi- zation at home by supporting C. A. Johnson of Minot for governor in- stead of J. A. Buchanan. They pro- posed instead to bring Judge Lauder for temporary chairman. That was the situation when the North Dakotans arrived yesterday, and when the Wisconsin leaders an- nounced their decision not to put up any man to whom the Roosevelt del- egates could rally as against Root, there was no protest from North Da- kota, The most disgruntled man, it is said, was Governor McGovern, who votes to be placed in a position to make the “key note” speech. North Dakota’s ten delegates had their first informal caucus last even- ing and when they adjourned ail wore an air of mystery. It was an- nounced that absolutely no business had been transacted, and the delega- tion would meet again today, but it was evident that momentous ques- tions had been discussed. WOMAN AVIATOR DIES, Plunged to Death When Aeroplane Struck Limb of Tree.

Chicago, Il, June 18.—(Special wire service)—The two convention scare, which seemed a certainty, should the Taft forces have contin- ued the pace set by the “Steam Rol- ler,” has subsided, owing to the fact that the Roosevelt forces, backed by enthusiasm of the highest pitch, have succeeded in capturing the major portion of the uninstructed delegates. A bolt seemed inevitable unless Roos- evelt had a clean walk-away, but the * more conservative leaders have re- stored peace and quiet in the ranks. Bulletirs have been received every thirty minutes and will follow in their order. Bulletin 10:30 A. M. This forenoon conservative Roose- velt men figure that they have 532 delegates to seat at the opening of the convention. It requires 540 to control. TFive delegates each from Mississippi and Alabama and nine from Virginia switched over to Roos- evelt today. -The Minnesota delegation met and shook hands with Roosevelt. At the caucus held by the Minnesota dele- gation Caswell was named National Committee man and the work of Kel- ogg was also endorsed. The convention started at noon on Tuesday. The talk of bolt seems to have subsided. Roosevelt announced that he would fight from the drop of the hat. Senator Clapp of Minneso~ ta i8 very popular with the other del- egations and has been spoken of as future presidential possibility. ‘When Bryan appeared as a report- er he was given a big ovation. At the mass meeting for Roose- velt which was held on Monday night, Harold J. Dane of the Minne- osta delegation, was appointed assist- ant sergeant-at-arms. S .
