NUMBER 48 BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1912 TAFT MEN GET 605 VOTES ON ROLLCALL President and His Followers Again Victorious in Test of Strength on Convention Floor, SETTLE DOWN TO BUSINESS. For First Time During Convention Delegates Actually Settle Down to Work, CHAIRMAN ROOT IS HISSED. When He Was Apparently About to Runle Against the Presenting Of a Minority Report, Chicago, June 22.—The Roosevelt forces met two more defeats in the Republican national convention yes- terday afternoon. By a vote of yeas 569 to 499 nays, the convention voted | to table a resolution of Governor| Hadley which would have prevenfed ! any ol the contested delegates vot- ing on any of the cases reported by the credentials committee. The first vote on Temporary Chair- man Root's election was 558 to 502. The second on Hadley's original pro- posal to the same effect was 564 to 510. Wisconsin recorded twenty-five votes against the Roosevelt contest- ants in the Alabama case, one man being absent, and the minority re- port was tabled by a vote of 605 to 464. The majority report on the Alabama contest was then adopted without a roll call. 1 Announcement of the big Taft gain (to 605) started a demonstration by the Taft adherents, which the chairman stopped at once. Chairman Root said the convention would “rest arms” for a time, as an- other report from the credentials committee was expected within a few minutes. With no sign of compromise and every indication that the fight would be as bitter as the rival factions could make it, the convention was re- opened at 12:26 in the afternoon to hear the first installment of the re- port of the committee on creden- tials. First business was the report of the committee on credentials on the contest in the Ninth district of Ala- bama. After three days of what has prac- tically amounted to a deadlock, the Republican national convention at 12 p. m. yesterday actually began working. Its first business was the report of the committee on creden- tials on the contest in the Ninth dis- trict of Alabama. The prospect was that arguments and roll call on this one case would consume several hours, and carry the session far into the night. The temper of the gathering was indicated at the start of the session when apparently Chairman Root was about to rule against the presentation of a minority report on the Alabama cases. Instantly a chorus of hisses and groans came up from all parts of the hall. L Then, obtaining order, Mr. Root remarked that if he had been allowed to finish his sentence the demonstra- tion would not have been necessary, and proceeded to finish his ruling which was ‘that the minority report could be informally presented and discussed. The crowds made amends by cheering the chairman. With the knowledge of the commit- tee on credentials had not nearly completed its work, delegates to the Republican national convention were slow to move toward the Coliseum this morning for the session sched- uled to begin at 11 a. m. Up to 10:45 o’clock only a handful of del- egates were in their seats, but from this time on they poured in from ev- ery aisleway. Conflicting reports had gone abroad as to the intention of leaders. Tt was variously rumored that there would be recess until 8 p. m., an ad- journment until tomorrow, and that the convention would proceed to con- sider such contested cases as the com- mittee had decided at the convention hour. It was further reported that it might be Tuesday or Wednesday be- (Continued on last vage.) Celebrate Fourth at Red Lake.

CONFESSES ASSAULT ON WOMAN Attorney Mal D. Clark, of the Be- midji law firm of McDonald & Clark, returned this morning from Bagley where he has spent the past week attending legal matters in . district court. Mr. Clark has been the attorney of Lee Mosley, the negro who it was charged, committed assault and rape on Mrs. Olson of Bagley late last sum- mer, and who has been held in the Beltrami county jail in this city dur- ing the past ten months. Until this morning the negro stoutly maintained his innoncence, claiming that he was not within many miles of Bagley at the time of the crime upon the woman. But when he discovered through his at- torney that the maximum penalty for assault in the second degree would be only five years, he decided that to| plead guilty would be the easiest way out of the difficulty, and accordingly |aid so. He was immediately arraigned be- fore Judge McClenahan who is m‘e~i siding at the Clearwater term, and after a short questioning was sen- tenced to Stillwater. CONVENTION BULLETIN.

EXPERT'S VISIT HAS EFFECT More than $6,300 have been sub- scribed by Bemidji residents for the erection of a three mile street car line to begin at the cemetery and end at the new box factory near Nymore. Following the appearance here last week of Thomas Roycraft, gener- al manager of the Grand Forks street railway system, who at an informal gathering of the Commereial club de- clared that his investigation of con- ditions here lead him to believe that a street car line could be successfully operated in Bemidji. Mr. Roycraft thought the three mile line would be advisable and said the track could be laid at a cost of 1$6,000 a mile and that four cars would be needed at a total cost of not more than $14,000 and that the oth- er expenses would bring the total cost up to about $40,000. Mr. Roy- craft estimated the income of such a line at $21,000 a year and figured the total cost of operation would be $14,5645, leaving a clean cut surplus of $6,455. With these figures in mind, Mayor Malzahn ' sought pledges from eiti- zens as to the amount of stock they would purchase. The mayor head- ed the list for $1,000 and J. P. Omich signed for another $1,000. Charles Nangle went down for $500, as did also M. E. Smith and Fred E. Brink- man. F. G. Troppman signed for $300, the Given Hardware Co. $250; A. H.

Rankin on “How Minnesota Edu- cates Her Children” this evening comes the close of University week in Bemidji.

BEMIDJT VS, ALL:NATIONS At the Fair Grounds baseball park & week from tomorrow the fan who relishes spice and variety with his afternoon pastime will be treated to a conflict that will be served with all of the trimmings and thrills usually attending upon a game with a dark horse game. The All-Nation team will meet the Bemidji Tigers on that day. The impending warfare is out of the line hewn by amusement promot- ers heretofore and unusual interest has attached to the coming exhibi- tion, not only because of the herald- ed ability of the Mixtures, but on ac- count of the collection of creeds and colors. “Motley” is the only word which describes this tribe of varied talent. Here’s what will face the Bemidji players in the week end display: ‘A Chinaman whose physique tallies closely with the size of a Spalding bat, an Indian who acquired his “stick talent” by swinging a tomahawk in the Custer massacre; a Turk Wwho doesn’t smoke cigarettes, a Mexican revolutionist, a Cuban insurgent, a smoke hurler who averages 15 “S.
