THE BEMID]I . VOLUME 11. NUMBER 129. BEMIDJI MINNESOTA, THURSDAY E‘VENING SEPTEMBER 26, 1913, TEN GE‘KTB PER WEEK BRING MORE CATTLE INTO MINNESOTA Governor Eberhart Suggests Plan In Session with Business Men At ° St. Paul. SAYS BANKS WILL LOAN MONEY Submits Table Showing Number of Cattle and Swine In Seven Neighboring States. 3t. Paul, Sept. 25.—At a meeting of business men from various sections of the state Governor Eberhart sub- mitted a plan in which he embodies many good suggestions for the re- organization of farms on livestock and crop rotation basis and advo- cates the bringing of more cattle into the state. in addressing the meeting the governor spoke as follows: “The plan which I am placing be- fore you is only a tentative one and is dome for the purpose of giving us a basis of discussion. Tts object is te bring cattle into the State of Minnesota. “We have twenty-three or twenty- four county agents: These twenty- four county agents should be instruc- ted to ascertain how many cattle— either milch cows or feeder—the farmers in any particular locality in their district want to buy. If these farmers have not the cash to put into a pool, he should make arrangements for them at the local oank to. bor- r¢w the money to buy one car, two cars or more cattle in acgordance with what the farmer is able to pay for or arrange. “If the county agent is competent to purchase the cattle he should be the one instructed with this com- mission. It is absolutely essential that in starting this it be inaugrated conservatively and that no mistakes be made. If the county agent can- not leave his work, he should con- fer with the Dean of the Department of Agriculture of the University of Minnesota. . The actual expense of this man’s trip and freight, only, should be charged up to all of the cattle bought. “The farmer would then be gett- ing his cows considerably cheaper than if he went and bought them for himself, and he would aslo be sure of getting the kind of cattle he ought to have. Under this plan there would be absolutely no trouble about advancing the money, as the local bank would loan local farmers the money to make the purchase on their own note, and when the divi- gion of the cattle is made, the farm- er can arrange with the local bank | for the amount he will need for his particular share of the cattle. The prime object of this thing is to get it started and started safely, as the question of financing the movement will take care of itself if it is started right. 1 believe that in pursuing such a plan we would be advocating something that would appeal to the business judgment not only of the farmers but of all the people of the state, and we would have made a tremendous strode in practical co- operation. “I believe that at this meeting we should consider nothing except the simplest form of procedure. It is my judgment that by .this method JAMES F. FIELDER. Wins Democratic Nomination for Governor of New Jersey. Photo by American Prrss Assoclation. BY A MAJORITY OF 20,000 Wilson’s Candidate Nominated for Governor of New Jersey. Newark, N. J., Sept. 25.—Supporters of Woodrow Wilson nominated their candidate for governor at the New Jer- sey primaries, carrying every county in the state with the exception of Mercer and Essex. James F. Field- er’s majority in the state was esti- mated at 20,000. Evergtt Colby, father of the New Idea qfltlvn of the Republican party, Wwhich 'later became the Progressive party in the state, won by 2,500 over Edmund B. Osborne of Montclair in the guberndtorial nomination contest in the Progressive party. The Pro- gressive vote was extremely light. In the Republican” primaries Ed- ward C. Stokes, former governor, was an easy winner over his three oppo- nents. NEBRASKA MEN BUY LAND Purchase Tract Bordering Bass Lake — Erect Hotel E. E. Ferguson, who resembles Bob LaFollette and ‘who is a strong sup- porter of that gentleman, together with William Renica both of Geneva, Nebraska, have purchased a tract of land which has 900 feet of frontage on Bass Lake. These gentlemen plan to build a model home and develope their land into an ideal farm. They also plan to open up the creeks sur- rounding Bass Lake and build a canoe route which will prove an at- traction ‘to summer resorters. Frank Steiner has opened a hotel on the banks of the lake and the farmers in that vicinity are planning to erect a building which will be used for a co- be is to start a thriving village on the banks of this lake which is one of the most attractive of it’s size in Nor- thern Minnesota. FREIGHT RATES REDUCED Decision Forces Railroads To Refund " Overcharges The recent decision by the United States Supereme Court on the Minne- sota Rate Cases reduced the freight rates on intra-state traffic and also forces the railroads to refund over- charges on dintra-state business to shippers who can show freight bills to prove their contention. It is advisi- able to send in the claims as soon as possible as there is only a limited time before they will be outlawed. Further information regarding the farmer, could accomplish what.it is impossible for him to accomplish individually, and no one is ou!la single cent. “Attached to this statement you will find some figures obtained from Dean Woods which are interesting. You will note the number of milch cows in Minnesota as compared with lowa and Wisconsin. It will pro- bably surprise you to find tnat there Work Prog'ressmg Rapidly.

Will Wait’ Until Testimony Is Heard Qnef Filed By Defendant Denies ! Charges Albany, N. Y., Sept. 25.—Final de cislon on the defense's objections te i including the “‘money articles” of im- peachment in the consideration of the Sulzer case will not be given until all testimony has been-taken.. The court voted, 49 to 7, to follow this proced: ure. Those , voting were all Democrats, Governor Sulzer’s answer to the eight court entered a general denial to each and every one of them. The vote to reserve decision fol- lowed an opinion delivered by Presid- ing Judge Cullen advising that the merits- of the objections of counsel for the governor to the articles be not decided at this time. “1'do’not think it is wise,” he said, “to decide this case piecemeal.” Immediately following the roll call the governor's counsel . was called upon to answer to the charges. These were read Tapidly by Clerk McCabe. In them the governor declared that he .had filed his campaign statement in resumed his duties at the Schneider Brothers clothing store. “America for mine,” said John. ‘ “The old country is a fine plaee to| visit, but T would rather live m the god ‘0ld.

A decision on this question would only require a majority vote, while a minority greater than one-third might decide the other way. ‘How, then, will the case be disposed of? I should pre- ; fer to have ample time to reflect on the arguments ‘here presented by counsel and to look up the authorities cited. Therefore, I should desire that this question ‘be left open until the final vote on the guilt or innocence of the respondent.” In accordance with the judge’s rul ing Majority Leader Wagner of the senate moved that the final decision be left open. The motion was then passed. “Governor Sulzer was busier get- ting money than getting votes during the campaign for election,” declared Eugene Lamb Richards, of counsel for the prosecution, in his address open- ing the case against the impeached executive. “All the technicalities and quibbles raised by the respondent have been swept away by this court,” began Mr. Richards, “and he -must now meet this case on its merits.
