DAWE, Rditor. _—_ " Special Announcement, The Pioneer has completed ar- rangements whereby it is prepared to glve its subscribers and other cit- izens the most comprehensive elec- tion service that has ever ‘been avail- able in Bemidji. The Tuesday afternoon edition will carry short leads telling of the in- dications of how the presidential election is going in the principal states. From 6 p. m. to 10 p. m. the Pioneer and Markham hotel will combine in a service which will give a fifty word bulletin every half hour telling of the drift of national, state, congressional and Minneapolis mayor elections. Early Wednesday morning, the Pioneer' will have an extra on the street which will be delivered free to the homes of ‘its regular subscribers. This extra will contain the figures of the city vote by wards and such other matter as will come in over the leased wire between 3 a. m. and 6 2. m. During the day Wetnesday up to 6 p. m: it will receive addi- tional bulletins. This service means that the editor and part of the shop force must work steadily from Tuesday morning until Wednesday night, It also means a generous outlay of money for the United Press service, telephone and telegraph tolls, and the cost of set- ting up and printing the extra. No other small town daily in the state is attempting to even approach such a complete service for its readers, Advertisers will please notice that all ads run Tuesday night will be re- peated Wednesday morning without extra charge, Persons not subscribers should or- der the paper at once and have the extra delivered free. Be Sure to Vote, No candidate is satisfied that he will be elected Tuesday. Each one Joins in the request that every voter exercise his right and power of suf- frage. Vote “Yes” on all amend- ments but No, 6. Kill that. Re- member good roads is tied up in No. 1, Good County Officials. Andrew Johnson will fill out the sheriff’s office and make the court house contain one of the most effi- cient groups of county officials in the state.. All of the men are hard work- ers, take an interest in their work, work for the county and not only de- serve re-election but will cause a distinct loss to the county if not elected. - In times past the Pioneer has pointed out in its columns the im- portance of having experienced men in these positions. Tonight it wants to call particular attention to the offices of the county treasurer and superintendent of schools. A des- perate fight is being made to un- seat the present incumbents. George French had had some ex- perience in the line when he went into the office and has proved his worth since he has been there. His duties are technical and to put in an inexperienced man would tend to throw the work into confusion. Mr. Geil is making an efficient chief of police of Bemidji and it would be a distinct loss of the people of this community to have him oust Mr. French and so leave the police de- partment without an efficient head. "Mr. Stewart has brought the coun- ty schools to a point where they are now receiving more state aid than ever before. He has seen to the or- ganization of central districts so the county now leads in consolidated schools. The duties of the superin- tendent are of such a nature that he is compelled to make long trips into er Mr. French or Mr. Ste‘y;(art should be forced out of the offices they have so credibably filled. - Can the county afford to-lose expert services simply to gratify personal desire and am-} bition? James Manahan. James Manahan won the Republi- can nomination for congressman at large- in Minnesota squarely on his record for progressive principles and progressive accomplishment. Coming from Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1905, im- bued with an ideal of a democracy in which the people really rule, a con- test with the House of Hill was in- evitable, and the feeling engendered by his plucky fight before the Minne- sota Railroad and Warehouse Com- mission gave a great impetus-to the Progressive movement in Minnesota. Since then he has as’a private citizen conducted tedious and laborious rate cases before the Interstate Commerce Commission which have saved the people many millions. He stands for all Progressive measures, and what is more, he is a man who when he believes in a thing, works for it until he gets done. We need such men in congress.—La Follette’s Magazine.

B. STEWART. | A new auditor would require as much S time to learn the routine and then probably give way to another in two years. No first class business house would think of doing such a thing. Experience is what they want and are willin to pay for. The auditors’ office is the last place where a change of head is beneficial to the taxpayers. There are ‘too many matters in process at all times, matters that require a week or a month to complete, and if changes are ‘made the system is broken and chaos reigns once more. J. L.

O, Harris Republican Candidate for Register of Deeds To the Voters of Beltrami County: I want 'to say just a fewwords}to the voters of the county today and on the day.of election. my canvass for the office of Register of Deeds to see each and every voter, 1t 1s quite possible that I have missed a number While I have endeavored in tle stir in his position as candidate for re-clection to the office of county of them whom it would have been a pleasure to have met. To those whom I have met and to those whom I have unfortunately auditor, for several reasons. Either I have heen a good auditor or a poor one. If the latter be the case I ey and get back to the “woods.” If the former is the case, as I feel cer- tain it is, others must know it, and it is not necessary for me to blow my own horn. I have worked faithfully for two years in the service of the people and have accomplished much that was needed in the matter of systematizing the office, opening new records, which should have been opened years ago, bringing up the neglected back work, and putting matters generally in geod shape for whomsoever might succeed me in the office. I was under a great handicap when I took the office a year ago last Jan- uary. I know nothing regarding the affairs of the office, and knowing nothing, perhaps promised more than I was able to fulfill. - Had I been lacking in nerve and business sys- tem, I would have feared to go go beyond the limit of clerk hire allow- ed by law, and in so doing would have placed a limit on the work to be done. Expecting, however, to pay out of my own pocket for all extra -clerk hire, I at once put an extra force at ‘work, supposing - all back work could |: be cleaned up in a few months. For- tunately the legislature:of 1911 pass- ed a law giving the commissioners ‘of certain counties of small valuation, the right to'increase the ordinary olerk hire of auditors to an amount! missed in my canvass of the county, I desire to say that I shall appreciate your support at the polls, on November 5th, 1912. My efforts will be to see that the office is placed on as high a standard as possible and to see that each and every taxpayer receives the services in the office that they are entitled to. My can{paign has been conducted along lines which have not been intended to throw discredit upon my opponent, but rather to present the advantages of my own candidacy. I do not approve of any other method of campaigning, and so whatevér be the re— sult, I shall feel that I have not resorted to methods which will invite criticism or which would lower the dignity of the office to which I asplrev. ‘ : ; The records will show that the office has been conducted in firstclass manner. I have handled it as economically as possi-— ble. Every deed, abstract and title is carefully made out. I have given the taxpayers the service they are entitled to and on that record ask for re—election. With one final expression of appreciation for all who have assisted me in my candidacy and with gratefulness for the votes to be registered in my favor, I leave my candidacy in the hands of the voters of the county. 2 Very respectfully yours, J. 0.
