PREUS REGARDED AS WINNER Has Lead of More Than Two Thous- | and Over Rines—Alsop Appar- ently Downs Tagley. Late returns of the county and state primary election have.changed | the positions of .various candidates but little and at 3 o’clock this after- noon Lee was leading Eberhart for the Republican nomination for gov- ernor by thé following, 80,247 'to 69, 908, the claim that his ma- jority 15,000 and 20,000, One ot the closest fights of state race is between with will be between the Lawler and Hammond for the Democratic nomin- ation for governor and while the re- turns now in give Lawler 19,055 and Hammond 17,828, the country districts are running strong in Ham mond’s favor and the prediction is made by the American Press asso- ciation that he will win by 1,000. “Jake" Preus Sure Winner. J. A. O. Preus is certain of the nomination for state auditor and re- turns now in give the vote as fol- lows: Rines, 51,025; Block 35,- 054; Preus 53,578, Nord Leading Wilson. F. A. Wilson of Bemidji, with 53 out of 74 precincts counted in this county, is given a vote of 721, lead- ing his nearest opponent, Nord cf International Falls by 262 votes. The Koochiching county man overcomes this lead by the vote of his home county, 36 out of 49 precincts giv- ing him 684 votes to 255 for Wilson. This gives Nord a lead of 429 votes in Koochiching county over Wilson, or a lead of 167 votes in the senator ial district. ApRoberts. the Social- ist candidate, is running second to Nord, leading Wilson by 54 votes. The Koochiching county vote s announced by Charles Sheeran, de- puty county auditor, from the 36 precincts, is as follows: The Koochiching Vote. ApRoberts Wilson Hayden Andrews Pendelgast and lehams. L. G. Pendergast and J. U. Wil- liams are sure of tne representative nomination, the former having a lead of 200. Pendergast ran strong in the southern part of the county while Williams secured his best vote in ihe northern part. Erickson is believed to have no chance to overcome the lead of Williams. The vote is given in another column. Alsop Wins From Tagley. Late returns are giving Alsop and Tagley about the same vote, the for- mer gradually crieping ahead, which means that the-deputy auditor will fight it out with Geil at the gen- eral election polls. Harris and Moon. Moor, of course, is conceded to he nominated, and his opponent will he J. 0. Harris, who is running way ahead of McCuaig. While the returns at the auditor’s office give Tegner and Morrison the nomination in the third commission- er district, Red Lake, the largest predinet is not included. This will make Morrison one of those on the general election ballot. With all returns from the first commissioner district in, Rako and Lahr are nominated. The canvassing board is at work today, and is made up of the follow- ing: fGeorge Stein, T. H. Pender- gast, E. L. Oberg and Henry Wilson. F. S. Arnold, the other member, was not present.

This | is said to be due to the settled pur-| pose of the dominant members if thei committee, mainly senators from the south and southwest, to secure leg- islation in- this way because it has not been possible to_get general Dbills through congress providing the leg- islation that is desired, particularly as to the Indian reservations in the Southwest. With reference to Indian legisla- tion for Minnesota, several of the items incorporated by the senate) while not objectionable, are develop- ments of the new policy for legis- lating in connection with the appro- priations. This is true with refer- ence to an item carried in the bill providing an appropriation of $1,500 from the Indian fund to pay members of the Chippewa band of Indians who have visited Washington in the interests of legislation. Another feature relates to the authorization of the secretary of the interior to approve of asséssments for drainage of lands upon the different Indian reservations in tht state, this drain- age having been carried out under state laws. Another new feature of of the bill is a provision authorizing the commissioner of Indian affairs to advance to Chippewa Indians in the Governor. Adolph O. Eberhart William E. Lee Elwood L.

The 1913 leg- islature boosted the total by $10,000. The board has specialized in ad- vertising the resources of the state by the following methods: Advertising in various publica- tions - which reach the farm homes of other states.

Those who have subscribed may pay now at their earliest convenience as the work on the road has already ‘begun. The farmers residing in the north end of Hubbard county | and who come to Bemidji to trade are pleased with the co-operation of both Cass Lake and Bemidji in this matter. That they are deserving of a better road is a certainty. This new stretch of road as laid out will help them considerably. Another road which they should have, and soon, is along the north border of Hubbard county running east and west. Bemidji merchants are all in favor of giving something for the construction of this road so that it will connect with the road running north and south.

The display of Minnesota corn on the exhibit car during the winter was a revelation to the farmers in Illi. nois, Towa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. 3 They had not beheved it possible that such a quality could be grown in such large quantities on the com- paratively cheap land. Sherman has been quick to take advantage of this situation and has flooded these states with literature bearing on the advantages of comin gto Minnesota to raise ecorn: Settlers on State Land. One of the most important phases of the work of the board has been the hastening of the settlement of lands belonging to the state. The department has lost no opportunity of bringing the advantages of this land to the notice of the people of other states.

Bosworth, executive secretary of the advistory committee of the state sapatorium board, at a meeting held at the court house this’ afternoon. Dr. Bosworth came to Bemidji at the:request of J. L. George, county auditor, in .order that he might fully explain the workings of the sana- torium plan to the officers of the counties who are considering the ad- visability of the establishment of a -tuberculosis hospital here. The 1ast legislature provided an appropriation of half a million dol- lars ‘with which to aid the counties, either single or group, in establish- \ing-sanatoriums, the state pay half and the county half. The state pays five dollars a week for each free pa- tient cared for and one-half of the unpaid balance where a patient is unable to pay a portion of his hos- pital expense, Where there are several counties interested in one sanatorium, a sana- torium commission of two members is appointed by the board of county commissioners to have charge of the management. The county in which the hospital is located is entitled to an additional board member. Dr. Bosworth advises that as large a hospital as possible be built here.

Another petition, calling for the prompt enforcement of the treaty laws, is also being circulated in Be- midji. Delay Till October Possible. The United States”supreme court is expected to have its final sitting {of this term Monday. Shbuld the lipuor men decide to file an. applica- tion for review of the Bemidji cases there is a possibility that the mat- ter remain unacted upon by the court until the morning of the next term in October. The mandate of the court has not been sent down to the circuit court of appeals, and the ap- plication for review would act as a stay on the issue of the supreme court’s order. Court May Act Promptly. On the other hand it is possible that court may take a recess from Monday until Tuesday or some later day next week to clean up just such matters as may be presented in the ‘Minnesota liquor case. Those who know of the method of procedure in the supreme court say there is no doubt that the court will deny the application. It is pointed out that the case was under advisement for at least two months and that the de-. cision in- favor of the: government was by a vote of 7 to 2 of the judges.
