W. STANTON. Friends of Judge Stanton claim that the proposal to run Justice Brown instead of Justice Start is purely political in its inception and that the Republican politicians are preferring the succession of Brown to leading lawyers and judges in the state as inducement for them to co- operate in advancing the candidacy of Brown. Judge Stanton has been a life-long record will be taken by Wiscon- Democrat but in the recent non-par-|zine. tisan primary obtained a tremendous vote in counties strongly Republican. Judge Stanton’s friends insist that in his five years on the bench in North- ern Minnesota he has tried more cas- es and had smaller percentage of re- versals than any trial judge in the state. he scheme 1o substitute Brown for Start is high handed outrage,” declared Frank A. Day this afternoon. Day and Stanton were brother editors when Stanton ran a weekly newspa- per at Appleton. Minnesota. The esteem in which Judge C. W. Stanton of this city is held by the people of Minnesota. is evidenced by the splendid vote he received at the primaries for chief justice.

Taken by themselves they would persuade the most ardent progressive. At times this side of the man had led me to be hopeful that he might support our movement and with his prestige as a former presi- dent, if he would hold fast, give us greatly added strength.

In order that those who attend the farmers’ picnic in Bemidji tomorrow will not be inconvenienced by chilly weather, A. E. Nelson. who hé?;sI charge of the arrangements, this/ morning had several loads of wood hauled to the school farm for bon | fires during the noon hour tomorrow. Only rain will be able to drive the picnickers indoors, and in case of | rain, the picnic will be held in thei high school. “Hot coffee will taste good to-| morrow noon,” said Mr. Nelson that morning. “The coffee will be prepar- ed by the girls of Miss Eddy’'s cook- ing classes and will be served hot from the kitchen at the school farm. It will be served free to all who bring a basket lunch. If it rains and the picnic is held in the high school, the coffee will be prepared and served from the cooking class room.” Governor Eberhart and Superinten- iplays. long rivals in athletics, will open the football season at the fair grounds at 3:15 tomorrow afternoon. From what can be learned of the two teams they are fairly matched and those im a position to know say that it will he a good game. The Fosston team will arrive in Bemidji at noon. The presence of Governor Eber- hart in Bemidji tomorrow at the farmer’s picnic has led to the suppo- sition that he will attend the foot- ball game also as the picnic will be over before the game starts. With fair weather. the officers of the new High School Athletic association ex- pect an attendance that will put the association on its feet financially. The Bemidji team this year is not composed entirely of veterans but has the material from which a clever {team can be made before the end of the season. Local rooters are not looking for a finished performance tomorrow but expect the game to de- velop weaknesses which must be eradicated before other teams are taken on. Of the two ends, Graham was a member of the high school team last vear while Wright playved on the Grand Forks high school team. Ach~ enbach and Olson at tackles are not green and expect to be able to hold their own. Johnson and Titus at guards have the weight to keep Foss- ton from making holes through their part of the line. Together with Sul- livan. they are expected to be the center of the defense. With the exception of Lycan, the Bemidji back field is light, but is said to be fast and able to get plays off in good shape. Earl Bailey, the captain, will play quarter and call off his own Hayner and Ryan will play dent McGuire are both expected in|the halves with Lycan as fullback. on early trains tomorrow. They will go out to the school farm about 10 a. m. and remain until the picnic is over. In the evening, the Commercial club will have an in- formal smoker for the governor. He The new rule which gives the team with the ball four chances at making ten yards will probably cause more of the mass plays than were seen last year. At the same time, the restric- tion on the length of the forward will probably attend the high school football game in the afternoon. Mr. Nelson has had the following sign put up at the school farm: | Bemidji School Farm Good Auto Road } Drive In | l The sign is seventeen feet long and fourteen inches high. pass has been removed so that the ball will probably be seen in the air at least as often as during the 1911 games. The new rules favor the team with the ball to such an extent that scoreless games will probably be rara this fall. High school athletics finances this year will be in charge of the new association which was formed last Wednesday. Earl Bailey is the prest- (Continued on last page.)
