b THE BEMI % GINNESOTA ”. A VOLUME 10. NUMBER 46. ROOSEVELT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED Such Was the Statement Made By Manager McKinley at End of Yes- terday’s Fight. TAFT MEN WELL SATISFIED Followers of Colonel Lose in Efforts to Unseat Ninety-Two Taft Delegates. RIDICULE TALK OF A BOLT But President’s Forces Inwardly Feel Roosevelt Will Lead Indepen- dent Move, Chicago, June 20.—Roosevelt fore- es met their second defeat in the Re- publican national convention vester- day in a session which had for its outstanding feature the remarkable demonstration of nearly an hour’s duration in honor of Governor Had-| ley of Missouri. Al of the Roosevelt delegates join- | ed in this demonstration while some of the Taft states lent a voice. The ovation to the Missouri executive was quickly “interpreted by many of the delegates as possibly a forerunner of a boom for Hadley for president. One enthusiastic Pennsylvanian jumped to the stage and called: “Three cheers for Hadley, next president of the United States.” Governor Hadley led the fight on the convention floor to oust 92 contested Taft delegates and to seat 92 Roosevelt men in their places. The convention finally re- fused to entertain the motion by a vote of 564 to 510. This transferred the fight to the committee on credentials appointed just before the convention adjourne(‘ll until tomorrow noon. Taft Men Satisfied. At Taft headquarters the general atmosphere of satisfaction and relief greeted swarms of delegates who crowded the ante-rooms last night. Director McKinley and his staff pre- sented an its-all-over-but-the-shout- ing attitude and confidently asserted that yesterday’s vote of 564 to 510 against the Roosevelt forces in the convention showed conclusively that Taft would be renominated. They claimed that Roosevelt would lose on the nomination roll call 46 of the 510 votes he had today. They declared that Wisconsin’s 26 votes, North Da- kota’s 10 and 10 Cummins votes from Towa would desert the Roosevelt col- umn on any decisive vote. From this they argued that the real Roosevelt strength in the convention was at the most 464 votes. “President Taft’s renomination is a certainty,” said Di- rector McKinley. “Each succeeding roll call from now on will show steady losses from the Roosevelt col- umn and gains for Taft. Says Roosevelt is Eliminated. “Theodore Roosevelt has been elim- inated as a candidate, before the con- vention. Two test votes, on Tuesday and another forced by his leaders Wednesday, have demonstrated that he cannot be nominated. The dele- gates have repudiated his third term pretention. His managers have re- sorted to every known method of po- litical strategy, but without success. They have attempted combinations with other candidates, they have adroitly presented unfair and revolu- tionary plans of procedure, under the pretence of honesty and they have en- deavored by every means to make Taft delegates break their solemn plgdges and instructions. In the face of these desperate efforts Taft has steadily grown. Taft’s majority yes- terday was larger than it was on Tuesday. “The Roosevelt followers, knowing that their candidate can never get enough votes to give him a majority of the convention are now seeking in hopeless and discouraged fashion for another leader. Their search will be jn vain. President Taft’s demon- strated majority in the convention represents delegates who have come to Chicago determined to renominate him and they will not be swerved from that purpose. They have shown their loyalty and devotion to the president on two test votes and their solidity was not in the least affected BULLET Chicago, June 20.—(2 o’clock, special to Pioneer)—The Republican national convention convenéd at noon but at once adjourned until four o’clock. Convention Bulletins. Chicago, I1l., June 20— (12 o'clock, special to Pioneer)—The police are experiencing troubel in handling the crowd. Every avenue of entrance to the Coliseum is jammed with people since 10:00 o’clock. The hall is al- ready packed. All the sections re- served for delegates are as yet prac- tically vacant. 11:59 a. m. There is a rumor afloat in the hall that immediate upon the meeting of the convention at noon adjournment will be taken. This action is taken on account of delays in reaching agreements among the various committees. The hall is now jammed to the point of suffocation. Miss Flo Jacob- son is singing “On Moonlight Bay”, accompanied by the band, although located in the bandstand at the north end of the building and the extreme left. Chairman Root has just appeared in the hall after being held up for 15 minutes at the door because he did not have a badge as well as a ticket. There was a rumor afloat in the hall when the gathering of the crowd first began that President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt had started to re- linquish_three delegates in a com- promise candidate to agree upon. Now a report that Colonel Roosevelt has officially denied this. _— onstration by casting more votes yes- terday than they did Tuesday, they have shown that they purpose to re- main with the president until his re- nomination is an accomplished fact and they will receive accessions to their ranks from those who have been temporarily carried away by noisy, blusterers, braggadocio campaign. The balloon like character of that by decisive vote. Solid Delegates Loyal. “The southern colored delegates in- structed for Taft are carrying out their instructions with courage and fidelity, notwithstanding the tempta- tions offered them in the way of money, patronage and political pref- ment. They have shown a laudible regard for loyalty to party pledges. “Roosevelt not only lost in votes yesterday but his delegates indulged in forty minutes of continuous cheer- ing for Governor Hadley of Missouri, one of his campaign managers, show- ing a decided tendency to desert the Roosevelt standard. H “Roosevelt’s repeated threat to bolt has not materialized and the statements are made by many leaders that should a bolt be attempted it will not be generally participated in. “The solidarity of President Taft’s lines and the wavering Roosevelt lines tell their own story of victory for the president and the bursting of the Roosevelt bubble.” Patten to Visit Far North. New York, June 20.—James A. Patten, who is credited with having operated a successful corner in cotton Some years ago and later displayed his genius as a speculator by pulling down several millions in the Chicago Wheat pit, sailed for Europe today to begin a summer vacation trip that will be confined to the regions of the far north not usually visited by tour- ists. Norway, Spitzbergen, Iceland and Greenland will be included in the itinerary. Mr. Patten is accompanied on the trip by his son, “Jack Patten, and Dr, Abram W.

WILL REQUEST A NEW TRIAL Next Saturday a motion will be made before Judge W. S. McClena- han who is presiding at the Clearwa- ter term of district court, to have a stay of procedure pending the set- tling of the case and the making of a motion for a new trial, If the stay is granted, it appears very likely that he will make appli- cation for a new trial, basing his re- quest on the ground that error was made in the trial of the case. Should Judge McClenahan decide that his rulings in the case were cor- rect, Dumas will in all probability appeal to the supreme court. According to this outline the fate of the convicted doctor will not be definitely known until late this fall, and probably not until the spring term of the supreme court. WILL PUSH NEW RAILROAD Farmers of Red Lake Country to Have Mass Meeting and Decide Course to Pursue. BELIEVEY WOULD BE A SUCCESS Following a conference here this Wweek with J. J. Opsahi, farmers in the Red Lake district decided to hold 2 mass meeting at the Saum consoli- dated school house on Wednesday, June 26, to discuss how best to 8o ahead with a survey for a new rail- road in the district east and north of Red Lake: Delegations will be present from Bemidji, Keltiher, Quiring, Inez, Fir- man, Battle River, Foy, Shotley and other places. During the spring, farmers in this district have made re- Dorts as to what business they would do if a line were to be constructed through their territory and they are S0 confident of the success of such a railroad that they are ready to as- sume the responsibility of complet- ing a‘survey and efforts will be made at the Saum gathering to have Wil- liam Everts, the Bemidji civil engi- neer, go ahead with the survey of 2 line which ultimately will be a di- T0 BE PAVED SOON Contract For Work Awarded to Loit- ved and Goodman—Construction to Start at Once. TO COST $1.10 SQUARE YARD Also Expected that There Will Be Several Additional Blocks Put Down by Property Owners. TALK OF PAVING NYMORE ROAD Mayor Malzahn Informs Aldermen that Road Will Be Improved Under Elwell Law. Bemidji is to have four additional blocks of concrete paving, work to be started at once by Goodman & Loit- ved. — 7 This firm was awarded the contract at the regular meeting of the city council this week at the rate of $1.10 per square yard. % Similar paving last year was ob- tained at the rate of 90c per yard, In addition to the contract award- ed for four blocks, it is expected ad- ditional blocks will be put down, the property owners standing the ex- .| pense. The four blocks assured are on Fourth street from Minnesota to Am- erica; Third from Minnesota to Am- erica; Second from Beltrami to Be- midji and Fifth from Minnesota to Beltrami. Mayor Malzahn called the coun- cil’s attention to the fact that plans to pave the street connecting Bemid- ji with Nymore are premature, be- cause this road is to be improved un- der the Elwell law as the part of a general north and south main high- way.
