St. Paul, Sept. 23.—Charles M. |Staxt, chief justice of the state su- preme court, this morning announced that he would not run for the office {at the general election to be held in November. In commenting Justice Start said, on his decision, “The large - vote in the primaries shows that I am no longer the unanimous choice for the posi- tion. I am geiting along in years and rather than enter an active cam- paign to retain the position, leave the bench January 1. Justice Start has not resigned from the bench but has asked Julius Schmahl, secretary of state, to take {his name from the general election ballot. The withdrawal of Justice Start leaves but Judge Stanton and Alexander Stewart in the race for the | seat. On December 31, Justice Start will have completed eighteen years on the supreme bench. Interviewed on the above dispatch, Judge C. W. Stanton, who is a can- didate for the position, said that he had no comments to make. “I do not understand the move but have no reason to doubt the situation is dif- ferent than that outlined in Justice Start’s statement.” ANDY JOHNSON WINS According to the figures compiled Ly the chnvassing board of the coun- ty. the following is the vote of sher- iff in the recent primaries: Johmson - Hazen Nolan Peterson Johnson was declared the nominee for the Republican party as he re- ceived eleven more than a majority of first choice votes.

Sept. 23.—A summons has been issued for Post- master Fred Johnson to appear before Special Commissioner Huss in the deposition proceedings in the Becker case. Becker, man, is being tried for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, a gambler. Johnson has indicated that he is wil- |ling to repeat under oath what he has {told at other times. Johnson says that Sam Schepps, a start witness for the prosecution, who was arrested here, told him that as soon as he (Schepps) had testified in the Becker trial, Becker would be doomed to the electric chair.

X MOOSE LEADERS SCORED Eberhart Says Naming of Third State Ticket is an Act of Dictatorship by a Small Committee. SAYS PEOPLE NAMED NOMINEE Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 23.— Governor Eberhart of Minnesota who is the guest here of A. P. Johnson, formerly. of -Minneapolis.’ after read- ing dispatches telling of the naming of a third party ticket in Minnesota, issued the following statement: “The naming of a third party can- didate for governmor by a few mem- ber of a committee is not only the most high-handed form of dictator- ship ever exercised in the state, but alsp a direct violation of progressiv- ism, namely, that of permitting the people themselves to determine the nomination of a state officer. “By a substantial plurality in nearly every county of the state the people have settled the question as to who shall be the nominee for gover- nor in that contest. The people of the state, including the third party nominating committee in question, generally participated, and according to every principle of right and jus- tice, should be bound by the results. “That the Progressive votes of the state—and they are nearly all such —determined the nominations at the jast primaries, is conceded by the committee in question indorsing a large majority of the nominations made. “This nomination by a few mem- bers of the committee is merely an attempt to dictate to the people of the state and to nullify the will of the people as expressed at the pri- maries. In a few plain words, the members of the committee acting. in this case have determined that they are willing to let the people rule, provided they rule to suit the selfish purposes of those members, but if the people rule otherwise, then the com- mittee must rule for the people. Such action will be resented by every one who believes in fair play. “I have not the least fear as to the outcome. The progressive character of my administration has already been determined by a verdict of the people and I shall make the same clean and dignified campaign for re- | election upon the record I have made, OVER THE CABLES HALF OF BRAIN REMOVED. Stockholm, Sept. 23.—During the recent maneuvers a soldier named | Bloomquist accidentally received a bullet in the head. Trepanning had to be resorted to. Half the brain was removed and the man was dis- charged as cured. On rejoining his regiment it was found that some of | his faculties were deficient. Among| other things he had forgotten how! to read and write. He was discharged from the army on a pension, and is being paid another $250 per year by a medical society which is keeping| him under observation and trying to re-educate him. NEW LIFE PRESERVER. London, Sept. 23.—Leoline Ed-| wards of Twickenham, claims to have invented a deck chair which is train- ed to save life at sea. It will float and support its occupant in the water | until help arrives. - By turning it up- side down and attaching a canvas| bag to the feet it can be transformed into a washstand, and it can also be{ made into a bed. VEILS BAD FOR NOSES. | London, Sept. 23.—“If you want to| avoid red mnoses, don't wear heavy veils,” is the advice of Dr. William | Ettles, famous London oculist. Veils are also bad for the eyes, in the doe- tor’s opinion, for a closely woven net work hinders the proper ventila- tion of the eyes and skin. MASSACHUSETTS PRIMARIES. Boston, Mass,. Sept. 23.—Closing a rather strenuous campaign in which the chief interest has centered in the contests for the gubernatorial nomin-| ations, Republicans and Democrats | of Massachusetts will go to the polls| tomorrow to express their preferences for state, legislative, congressional | and county officers. Under the law the new third party has no stand- ing in the primaries. All nomina- tions by the Progressive party in| Massachusetts will therefore be made by petition. Governor Foss is a can- didate for re-nomination on the Dem- ocratic ticket and has as an oppon- ent Joseph C. Pelletier, district at- torney of Boston. The contest for the Republican nomination for gov- | ernor is between Joseph Walker, for- | mer speaker of the Massachusettts as- | Thursday, TWO0 WIN DOLLAR EACH Daniel Jones and Nat Given Write Ads for the Pioneer Live Wire Department.

POTATO WAREHOUSE IS NEEDED Byan Produce Company Said Ready To Come in and Furnish Growers With Number 1 Seed. PROMISE EXPERT FOR BEMIDJI Say They Will Send First Class Man To Take Charge of the Business At This Point. The following letter received by the editor of the Pioneer from W. A. Cassler, is self-explanatory. Several times the Ryan people have tried to get into Bemidji but so far have failed. They had a potato buyer here last fall for several weeks and are satisfied that the country can pro- duce the crops. Mr. Cassler recent- ly went to Minneapolis and while there called on and had a talk with Mr. Ryan. Bemidji. Sept. 16, 1912, Harold J. Dane, Editor Pioneer. - Dear Sir:—While in the Twin Ci- ties last week I saw a number of produce buyers, and I find they are anxious to get into Bemidji to do business, especially the Ryan Pro- duce Co. of Minneapolis. They are probably the largest buyers in the state and make a specialty of hand- ling potatoes, onions and cabbage, It seems they are umable to get in Lere. Mr. Ryan has been here two or three times but failed. Now it seems to me that if the business men in Bemidji had any idea of what it meant to Bemidji and the | surrounding country to have a cash market for all the potatoes, onions, cabbage, etc.. that would be raised around Bemidji, they would never leave a stone unturned until they se- cured such a market. The citizens of Bemidji all stand ready to band for some saw mill or other enterprise to come in and rob the country of its timber, get rich and move out. What good have they done, only in a temporary way? A market for our produce is ever lasting. But some will say, “Let the farmers organize and handle their own stuff.” That can't be dome in | this new country to make a success of it. I find by looking up this business that it takes experienced men and money to handle such produce. The man must know the markets and how to handle them. Mr. Ryan has bought ought six farmers' warehouses this season and is doing good business where it has always been a failure. He has houses at Deer River, Park Rapids, Fosston, etc., and they have all got good markets. In Bemidji you can’t give potatoes away. The Rvan people say they will furnish No. 1 pure seed for any good variety that is adapted to this soil, for anywhere from 200 to 1,000 acres, and will give a contract price per bushel or will take potatoes in payment for seed, either way to suit the farmer. They will put up a ware- house and put in an expert potato man to show the farmers how to raise good potatoes. All Mr. Ryan asks is that the far- mer assure him that he will get his pay for the seed. He will only charge the market price for the seed, and he won’t ask the farmer to even sell him the potatoes as long as he pays for the seed. Now what more can a community ask? This means more to Bemidji than all the mills in it. Just figure what one or two thousand acres of pota- toes means at 300 bushels per acre. At the usual price it means from $150,000 to $200,000. The eastern and southern markets are beginning to realize that we can raise the best vegetables in the world, but we must first get pure seed and cut out the mixed stuff. | Now lets get together and make | Bemidji what Minneapolis is in the way of shipping vegetables. We have all the railroads we want. We now ‘want the stuff to ship and when we get that we can get rates and not until then, but this can never be done unless the business men help boost. The farmers will never do it alone. Twenty years ago poor old worth- Continued on last page.)
