Voters of Bemidji are urged to vote for the amendment which is the first one on the pink ballot which will be handed out November 5. Each of the other amendments is ‘worthy of serious consideration but as there exists a difference of opin- ion on their advisability, they are aot inciuded in the recommendation of the first, The Dunn amendment is most im- portant to Northern Minnesota and those behind it have but one fear— that many will fail to vote either for or against. Under the present state law, a vote neither way is a vote -‘against. If you don’t want good roads ‘8ay so; if you do, mark an X after ¥Yes” on the ballot. At any rate, keep off the fence. Good State Officials. ‘With but one exception, that of Sam Y. Gordon, all of the present state officials which ran in the pri- maries were nominated. The rea- son is apparent. They have made good and the voters of the state are too wise to turn out efficient officl- als. A business man who would dis- tharge a good employee simply to make room for an inexperienced man ‘who wanted the job would not last long. So it is with the state. Governor Bberart was nominated by good plu- rality and received thiry-eight per wcent of the total vote in a field of five candidates. He will be re-elect- ed and has promised to continue his administration as one for the entire state and not one section or interest. Right down the ballot line, the voter can find efficient men on the Republican ticket. They have been efficient in their several offices and are not only entitled to re-election, but the state cannot afford to lose their experience. Julius Schmahl has conducted his office of secretary of state in such a manner that those who have had business with him have marveled at the rapidty with which their mat- ters have been handled. The extra session has made much extra work, but the office force has been handled to care for it. His long experience with the corporations and corpora- tion laws makes him a man the state needs in its service. Walter J. Smith is a banker by profession and so well versed in money matters. The business of his office has grown from $286,900 in 1858 to $15,805,300 in the fiscal year just closed. An inexpericnced man cannot handle this amount of! R i i business as it should be and a change ! i at this time is unnecessary. The same may be said to Lyndon: A. Smith, present attorney general, and Judge Mills and Charles Elm- quist, railroad and warehouse com- missioners who are up for re-election. General Smith has been discussed in these columns before. Bemidji has good cause to favor Mills and Elm- quist for had they not insisted, the Nymore paving would have been put off for some time to come. The present state officials received the O. K. of the party at the pri- mary. They have made good and will be returned November 5 by a good plurality.
