Al Kaiser, the Bagley banker, who returned home yesterday after a trip to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has inaugu- rated a plan waich will materially augment the plan of exhibits in out- side state undertaken by the North- ern Minnesota Development associa- tion. Mr. Kaiser decided to place an agent at Cedar Rapids and securing a room in the offices of the Sixteenth Avenue Realty company of “that place assembled an exhibit, following the close of the Clearwater county fair, laying special stress on alfala, timothy and clover, and twenty na- tive grasses, corn, vegetables, and a specially - fine exhibit of potatoes. The exhibit weighted 1,800 pounds. This was arranged in the land office referred to, with a good window dis- play and placed in charge of C. R. Kriz, formerly of Bagley, :who “will devote his entire time to interesting Jowans and others passing through there, in Clearkater county lands. The fact that the exhibit is there, however, will - advertise not only Clearwater county, but all of North- ern Minnesota, and the idea is.one that can pe employed by other land dealers who have agencies in other states farther sounth. Many of those who saw the Clear- water-display at Cedar Rapids would not have believed all the things were raised in, Clearwater county, had not Mr. Kriz been personally on «the ground: SHLEWAN-WEINQART Blackduck Business Men Celebrate In Honor of Marriage of One of Their Number. - WEDDING IN IOWA WEDNESDAY -=de-Co=cSullivan,-jeweler: and. .auto dealer of Blackduck, was the guest of onor at a mg Z | M.

York :Sun Give Him Majority On‘ Con- servative Estimates: MINNESOTA NOT INCLUDED Easterners Place Gophers On Taft Taft List But Local Men Say Democrats Will Win, (By United Press). Princeton, N. J., Nov. 4.—On" the very eve of the general election; Gov- ernor: Wilson, Democratic candidate for_ the presidency, had an escape from death as narrow as that of Roosevelt at Milwaukee. The gov- ernor is today wearing a bald spot and several inches of surgical plaster over a scalp wound which might eas- ily have been a fractured skull. He was injured while driving-in his automobile Sunday. The car hit a mound in the road and he was bounc- ed against the iron bar which sup- ports the top. As Roosevelt ‘was sav- ed by a bundle of manuscript; so Wilson was saved by a heavy icap which broke the force of the, blow. Today, however, he is back on the firing line telling New Jerseyites how to make their ballots tomorrow. Election Facts In Bemidji. ~ Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p. m.

On the eve of the 1912 general election, predictions from all over tae country point to the election of Woodrow Wilson as the nexi presi- dent of the United States. Many be- lieve that the election will go to the house but point cut that the house is Democratic now and probably will remain so. Two tables were issued by the New York Sun today. The first is based on a conservative estimate of the Wilson strength and gives the New Jersey governor 303, Taft 146, and Roosevelt 82. Minnesota’s twelve are put in the Taft column in this table. The second table is based on the most optimistic forecasts of the Democrats and gives Wilson 355, Taft 136 and Roosevelt 40. 'Minne- sota is also placed in the Taft col- umn in this table. Men who have returned from the twin cities within past day or two say that it is a mistake to put Min- nesota in the Taft column.* They say that it will go for Wilson by"“a ‘big At the theatres in Minneapo- lis. the people have been showing their political drift by applauding for their candidate as the pictures are thrown on the screen. It is said that Wilson is the popular candidate. Straw -votes taken ‘in Beltrami county, especially the city of -Bemid- ji, Blackduck; and several: outlying towns give Wilson a treble plurality over either Roosevelt or Taft, and a clean majority of all votes cast. ‘It is ' said ' that Wilson is especially strong with the farmers who have not forgotten the reciprocity agree- ment, Ballinger incident and other errors of the Republican party and who believe a third party is unnec- essary.
