VOLUME 11. NUMBER 89 STONE CHARGES FIXED PROGRAM Declares The Republicans Are Creat- ing Distrust In Country On Tariff Issue SITES R. G. DUNN BULLETIN Stone Is From Missouri And Makes Most Serious Accusation Thus Far Bought Out By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner. Washington August 8—The charge “that it is a part of the fixed pro- gram of the Republican side of this (Senate) chamber to create a wide- spread impression and a fear through- out the country of coming disaster, with houe of precipitating industrial and commercial conditions that will rebond to their party and political advantage,” has been made by Sena- tor Stone, of Missouri, constituting the most serious accusation brought out in the tariff debate. Senator Stone was roused by the continuing Republican ‘“arguments’ of hard times to follow the passage of the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill. When he struck, it was straight from the shoulder. ‘' Mr. President,” he began ‘‘this chamber seems to have within its walls a number of prophets of evil, croaking evangels of disaster. The atmosphere we breathe has become impregnated with the malodor of direful prophecy. It seems as if our friends on the other side, or many of them at least are hungering for a panic. They are doing everything in their power to create distrust. “Every senator on that side who rises to speak has a blue tale of woe to tell, made up for the most part of doleful prophecies of certain dis- asters to come. [ submit, Mr. Presi- dent, that it is not the spirit or the tone of that true Americanism that should find expression be but one great underlying purpose behind this eontinuing story of evil prophecy, and that is to Ireate distrust, artifi- cially, and to bring about a state of industrial depression that may re- dound to the advantage of the Repub- lican party, on the theory that if something bad should happen the Democratic party must answer for it and that the Republican party would be benefited in some corresponding degree. All we hear now are tales of woe,” Senators Warren and Gallinger were quick to reply to this charge, but “tone flung back at them:, “if T were disposed to go far enough at this time to express my real convictions I might say that the tirst fluttering of any industrial dis- turbances so far is the result of a deliberate purpose, if not a deliberate cengpiracy, on the part of certain men representing important inter- ests in this country to create a dis- tirbance.” The Senator, however, declared that the conspiracy will not be suc- cessful, and to back up this state- ment he quoted from the last bulle- tin issued R. G. Dunn & Co., the scien- and nonpartisan mercantile agency, as follows: “Fall business is opening with indication of a sustained boom. Merchants who hesitated plac- ing extensive orders because of pend- ing tariff legislation have been furced to make heavy purchases be- cause of mnexpected demands. The impetus foreshadows great and pros- every (Continuea on last page).

Calumet, Mich., Aug. 8.—The efforts of nonunion miners of the Calumect and Hecla Mining company to reach an agreement with that company to return to work have resulted in fail- ure. The committee appointed to interview General Manager McNaugh- ton reported at a mass meeting of the men that he had refused to grant any of the demands made and that they were done with negotiations. The demands of the nonunion com- mittee included practically all of those made by the Western Federa- tion of Miners, with the exception of recognition of the union. The meeting was attended by 700 miners, all of whom gained admission by presenting their pay books. EMERY QUIZZED ON GuuNCIL Representative of Manufacturers Re- pudiates Mulhall. Washington, Aug. 8.—James A. Emery, principal Washington repre- sentative of the National Association of Manufacturers, continued to tell the senate lobby committee of the steps that led to the formation in 1908 of the “council of industrial de- fense.” “A collector” of the organization, Martin M. Mulhall has testified, raised between $500,000 and $700,000 for “legislative work.” Senator Reed tried to get Emery jto testify that the council had its origin at a convention of the manu- facturers in 1907, when James W. Van Cleave appealed for a fund of $500,000 for three years. The witness denied that the $500,- 000 fund was raised. Emery testified his duties in Washington were not | secret. BEMIDII MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8, 1913 LOZIER ANNOUNCES NEW 1914 MODEL To Be Four Cylinder, Seven Passen- ger Car Selling At Twenty One Hundred Dollars DELIVERIES MADE JANUARY 1ST Preliminary Announcement Made To District Managers Throughout United States Probably the most important de- velopment of the week in the auto- mobile industry, was the announce- ment made to dealers on Tuesday by the Lozier Motor Company, of a new four cylinder Lozier for 1914 produc- tion. The car is in the popular-priced field and will sell at $2,100.00. The action of the Lozier Company in again bringing out a four-cylinder car after having built sixes -exclu- sively, for the last two years is caus- ing wide comment in trade circles. “We decided to make our new mo- del a Four immediately after making up our minds to enter the lower-priced field” said President Gilbert in his ad- ATHLETES ORGANIZE AN ATHLETIC CLUB Twenty Five Sign As Charter Mem- . bers—Applications To Be Voted Upon. LYCAN ELECTED PRESIDENT Jacobson, Johnson And Randahl Are Other Officers Elected By Club Crowding the Council Chambers at the City all last night the Bemidji athletes and business men who are anxious to develope strong athletics in this’ city met for the second time and adpoted a constitution and elect- ed, officers for the coming year. Carl Mr. Jacebson, as chairman of a com- mittee drew up the constitution which was patterned after the associ- tions in large colleges and cities, The name that has been decided upon for this organization is the Be- midji Athletic Club and will consist of any male citizens of Bemidji who dress to Lozier dealers. “In the rush to produce six-cylinder cars at a low by many makers that there ficient sixes can be marketed. “At $2,100.00 we knew that could build a four cylinder car fully up to the Lozier standard. At the same price, we also realized a six cylinder car should be built, but of an altogether different grad than the Lozier Company has ever manufac- tured. We wished to give the public the benefit of our fifteen years’ ex- perience in building both fours and sixes, and we chose the four-cy{ihder model. “Furthermore, while many auto- mobile manufacturers are straining every effort to produce six-cylinder cars, there is a great and unsatisfied demand for the better type of four cylinder car. We propose to answer this demand with the new Lozier Four.” Like “Six” In Appearance The new Lozier Four resembles in a marked degree the popular Lozier Light Six Model brought out last sea- son, but has many new features which are distinctive on the new car. The stream-line body design first in- troduced on the Light Six is incor- porated in the new Four. In addition the new car will have crowned fen- ders in the style of the latest Europ- ean design. And lighting system, top, built-in-windshield, speedometer, de- mountable rims, extra rim, tire car- riers. While delivery of the new Lozier January first, 1914, dealers are, al- ready being signed up in many sec- tions of the country. For the coming year the Lozier Company will confin its efforts to the manufacture of two models the Light Six selling at $3,- 250. and the Four at $2,100. Production Manager charge of the two Lozier plants a Detroit and Plattsburg, N. Y. has an- nounced that changes will soon be made in factory methods that will facture in greater quantities.

McMahon and Catherine Jackson of Grand Rapids are guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward {will be shown. Our up with and just a little ahead of the times in an advertising respect is again practically demonstrated hy what s perhaps the most elaborate system of advertising ever attempted by an business house in this section, namely: the giving away of the beau- tiful Claxton Parlor Grand Piano which is now on exhibition at their store. This piano retails at $400.00 and is guaranteed for ten years. The prin- cipal points of superiority of this celebrated Claxton piano over any other of this class of instruments lie in the three strings in unison with overstrung bass, the splendidly pitch- ed scale and true sounding board which give the Claxton that rich, deep, even tone so much admired. In an interview with Mr, Schroe- der regarding, this decided innova- tion in advertising, he said. “We have been enjoying the patronage and confidence of the buyers of this community for some time now and by always trying to keep our stocks complete the saying that ‘You can get it at Schroeders’ has become a household expression. In giving a- way this piano we are actuated by a double purpose, to show our ap- preciation of the patronage of our friends during the past, also to em= courage new trade and to bring the many splendid values we are now showing in all lines to the attention of every buyer in this territory. The plan we are using in giving away this piano is equitable and fair to all, simply this, every person buying one dollar’s worth of anything in our store will receive a coupon good for 100 votes. The person returning to us on Feb, 14 1914 the largest num- ber of votes will be given the piano absolutely free of all cost. No favors reputation for ‘square dealing’ assures our customes of that fact.” This four hundred dollar Claxton Parlor Grand Piano is surely a pre- sent worth having and we predict a very “merry race” for votes during the next few months. Pioneer In On Contest Arrangements have been complet- ed whereby the Bemidji Pioneer be- came a part of the contest in as much as the securing of votes is considered. Contestants who enter this race will be given an oportunity to secure ad- ditional votes toward this piano by securing subscriptions for either the Daily or Weekly Pioneer. This will be a most liberal offer and will doubtless be watchéd with keen in- terest by the citizens in this section of the state. There will be no publicity of con- testants during the contest, each contestant being given a number and each endeavoring to secure votes from patrons of the Schroeder store and subscribers of the Pioneer. How Votes Are Secured With every cent purchase at the Schroeder store one vote will be given and the customer will be per- mitted to cast the vote for what- ever contestant he chooses. With every three months subscrip- tion to the Daily Pioneer at the regu- lar rate of $1.00° three thousand votes will be issued and with every years subscription to the Weekly Pioneer at the regular price of $1.650 five thousand votes will be issued. ' During the course of the contest a coupon: will appear from day to day, both in the Daily and Weekly Pio-~ neer, which counts. for five votes each. Contestants should line up their friends to cut out these coupons each (Continued on last pag (R
