THE BEMIDJI VOLUME 11. 151 SULZER READY FOR CAMPAIGN Will Invade Opponents’ District In New York City—Canadidate For The Assembly S0ME CONCEDE HIS ELECTION Former Governors Worst Political Foes Believe He Will Be Sent To Legislature Albany, N. Y, Oct. 22.—What will] be the outcome of Willlam bulzer" race for the legislature? This was the question foremost in the minds ot politicians around the capital. It was generally agreed that he will make a great deal of trouble for the organization in New York. His fire will be directed especially against Aaron J. Levy, who is a candidate for municipal judge, and Alfred B. Smith, the speaker of the assembly, who Beeks to succeed himself. Sulzer Intends to invade their dis- tricts-and attempt to square accounts with them for their active part taken in his impeachment. And, of course, in that fight he will oppose the Demo c;atlc organization candidates gener- ally. Even Sulzer's worst . political foes practically concede him victory in his own assembly district. They were inclined to regard the withdrawal of the Republican candidate as a trick intended to damage the Democratic party a great deal at the cost of a small concession, There was no doubt expressed that the Republicans will work for Sulzer in the hope that he Wwill repay them amply by his attacks on Tammany Hall in case he reaches the assembly. Will Seen Speakership. The question which caused the greatest speculation, however, was how many votes Sulzer would be able to swing for his speakership candidacy in case of his election. The concensus of opinion was that the next assem- bly probably will be distributed among the three parties and if this predic- Cast these votes for This coupon when neatly Who's Y ning the $400 Piano in the Cut It and Keep Look at This!

It For Someone NEW TAX TO AFEECT 2,500 Revenue Collectors Say Minnesota Is One Of Leading Earning States In Union FIFTH IN CORPORATION TAXES Minnesota will be one of the lead- ing “income tax” states according to the estimate of St. Paul internal revenue collectors who placed 25,- 000 as the number of incomes which tlon is true and Sulzer is able to mus- . ter the undivided support of one fac. tion and a few Insurgents from other quarters he would prove a big factor in the race. A majority of the as: sembly is required to elect a speaker, and only a landslide for one party can prevent a long deadlock if Sulzer wins, Sulzer himself does not admit that he hag deserted the Democratic party by accepting the Progressive nomina- tion and the Republican endorsement. “I am a nonpartisan candidate,” he declared, “and 1 am fighting for a principle instead of a party.” The impeached governor conflded to a friend that the opposition of Theodore Douglas Robinson to his candldacy did not surprise him, but he thought if Colonel Roosevelt wern in this country he would have his sup- oort. RESIGN OR GET T0O WORK Absentees Scored By Membera Of The Senate Democratic Leader Kern And Others Offer Suggestions HE URGES DRASTIC MEASURES Washington, Oct. 22—Demands that senators either “resign or go fo work,” that absent members be brought back to Washington by the use of “any force that may be nee- essary,” that the “miserable pre- will be subject to assessment this year it the Income tax l:w pnssés congress In its present form. The fact that the Minnesota ranks seventh In corporation tax collec- tions, which last year amounted to over $1,200,000 is said to have had an important bearing on the estimat- ed number of taxable incomes. Over 1,500 corporations paid the government tax last year in this state and this year it 1s estimated 7,000 corporations will be subject to the income tax. This tax will - crease the amount paid by corpora- tions to the government about $260,- 000, The income tax is now before the conference committee of the house and senate in. Washington. In its present form it places. the minimum exemption at $3,000. In addition the law provides that a married man whose wife has not an indenpendent income will be entitled to an exemp- tion of $1,000 and an additional ex- emption of $500 each for two minor children, making the total exemp- tion for such a man, $5,000.

About thirty girls of the sixth grade have formed a glee club and will sing in public and at school entertainments tense” of trying to do business with- out a quorum be ended, marked the opening of the session of the senate. Leaders of both sldes joined in the demand that the “farce” of recent senate proceedings be ended. Senator La Follette, leading the fight for the enactment of the Sim- mons bill, began the attack on sen- ate absentees, but it was taken up and vigorously endorsed by Senator Kern, Democratic leader, and by Sen- ators Borah and Cummins, Repub- lcans, and others. Senator Cummins said the body had allowed itself to get into a “humiliat- ing position,” and Senator Borah add- ed that members should be kept in Washington and -compelled to take up many important subjects put off. “I am in favor of the exercise of all the powers at our command to bring a quorum here,” declared Sena- tor Kern, the Democratic leader. “It would be most unfortunate for us to surrender to the absentees and give| up work., It would be a confession to the world that the senate was un- able to carry on the business en- trusted to it.” His figures showed thirty-one Dem: ocrats in Washington and seventeen absent and nineteen Republicans in Washington and twenty-eight absent.

ROLLER TOWELLASTT0 GO President Wilson Banishes Time Honored Equipment From United States Buildings ORDER RECEIVED IN BEMIDII wil According to an order which has been received at the Bemidjl post- office the good old roller towel is the United States. It seems that President Wilson wanted to wash his face before making one of his prece- dent-breaking speches in the halls of Congress a few weeks ago, and le the senate chamber. A ‘bunch of senators who wanted to hear the speech hurried over to the capital, and as senator’s don’t like to listen to the president when ‘begrimed with dust—most of them had been out automobile riding— they washed their faces and hands, beating Mr. Wilson to it by about two minutes. The president, who isn’t atriad of water, hung up his coat, rolled up his sleeves and heartily entered into the process. He sputered —and splashed »nd got himself very wet. He also got a little soap in one eye, and, dripping -enthustically he grop- ed for the roller towel. There wasn't a dry spot it. 0 Dresideng i8"a self-contained man.

After due thought and deliberation the following executive order was made from the White House.
