HE BEMIDJ1 VOLUME XIV, NO. 137. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1916. 10 INSPECT BOUTES FORJEFFERSONROAD COMMENCINGJUNE 25 J. D. Clarkson, General Manager of Jefferson Association, to Make Tour. BEMIDJI REPRESENTATIVE TO BE NAMED THIS WEEK President of State Automobile Asso- ’ ciation to Accompany Clarkson. The three proposed routes through Minnesota for the Jefferson Highway association will be inspected, com- mencing June 25. J. D. Clarkson, general manager of the Jefferson Highway association, accompanied by H. H. Orme, one of the directors of the association and president of the Minnesota Automo- bile association, possibly directors from other states and representatives from each of the proposed routes will begin a motor trip on that day over the routes.

It is the desire of the directors of the association to select the route which will be of the greatest value WOMEN'S PARTY -OPENS MEETING IN GHIGAGO Chicago, June 5.—The Women's party, meeting in its first conven- tion, struck its initial snag today when it tried to erowd 2,500 dele- gates representing a dozen million women into the Blackstone theater, which has a seating capacity of only 1,800. Before noon, following a half day of, unexpected registration, no one doubhted that the three-day conven- tion which is held to impress the Re- publicans and Progressives with the women voters’ power would call for numerous overflow meetings. ‘Women voters from the eleven ‘“free” states were given the first prominence today and will continue to hold first place in the convention tomorrow and the day following. “Free” women had free access to the main floor of the theater. Other women crowded into the balconies and attended the overflow meetings. Miss Alice Pavl, national chairman, opened the meeting at 2 o’clock this afternoon but did not remain long as presiding officer. The rules of the Woman'’s party say that the permanent chairman must be selected from one of the eleven states in which women are allowed to vote. Up to the time of the bal- loting no one had any idea who the first temporary chairman of the Woman’s party would be. The principal business of the after- noon was the naming of committees and reports from the eleven equal suf- frage states delegates. A reception has been planned for to the state and to the traveling pub- lic, who will use this great North and South international highway. A representative of the Bemidji routes to accompany Mr. Clarkson on his tour will probably be named this ‘week. The three routes are as follows: Three Different Routes. Route No. 1, referred to as the Western route, embracing the fol- lowing towns: Anoka, Elk River, St. Cloud, Melrose, Osakis, Alexan- dria, Henning, Perham, Detroit, Lake Park, Moorhead, Crookston, Warren, Steven, Hallock, boundary line, will be inspected first. Route No. 2, referred to as the Central route, embracing the follow- ing towns, Elk River, St. Cloud, Lit- tle Falls, Staples, Wadena, Park Rap- ids, Itasca Park, Bemidji, Bagley, Red Lake Falls, Thief River Falls, thence to the boundary line will be inspected next and in connection therewith the alternative route from Sauk Center to Wadena will be inspected. Through Cass Lake. Route No. 3, referred to as the Eastern route, embracing the follow- ing towns, Anoka, Elk River, Prince- ton, Mille Lacs lake, Brainerd, Pine River, Walker, Cass Lake, Bemidji, thence the same as the Central route northwesterly to the boundary line will be inspected next. To Be Scored. To assist in reaching a correct con- clusion, each route will be scored upon a number of definite points, among which will be: 1. Wealth and population of the territory traversed by the highway. 2. Hotel and garage accommoda- tions. 3. Present condition of roads, whether improved or unimproved. 4. Total mileage of each route. 5. Soil conditions as affecting road construction; topography of the country as affecting grades and availability of road building material suitable for construction of 365-day roads. 6. Scenic advantages and points of especial interest.

Bailey then brought in two more scores by a two-base smash over the left field fence. There was no more scoring until the sixth inning when Bemidji made five runs on two hits, two bases on balls and two errors.

WGARRY PLEASED OVER STAND TAKEN BY C. B, BUCKMAN (Juittle Falls Transeript), Little Falls, Minn., June 2.—P. H. Mec- Garry of Walker, state senator from the 52d district, was in the city this morning, coming here expressly for the purpose of taking up a few mat- ters with C. B. Buckman regarding the development and reclamation of lands in Beltrami, Cass and Aitkin counties if the local man is again returned to congress. In speaking of his interview with Mr. Buckman the Walker man said: % “I have been a supporter of Buck- man for some time, but since visiting him this morning I am more enthu- siastic than ever to have him re- turned to congress. His election will mean much to the people of the northern counties. If you will re- member, I introduced a resolution in the state legislature at the last ses- sion which asked for federal aid in regulating the waters of the upper Mississippi and Leech lake. This resolution was passed, but the na- tional body has taken no active steps to aid the people of my territory. ‘With Mr. Buckman in congress we will be assured of active and not passive aid. He has given me his personal pledge to work for federal aid for the betterment of the roads in the district and especially will this be felt in Cass, Beltrami and Ait- kin counties. He has also pledged himself to work for the better regu- lation and lowering of the waters in the Mississippi and Leech lake, thus reclaiming some 300,000 acres of valuable lands on the tax rolls of the coupties mentioned above and enab- ling settlers to secure homes at a small cost. Mr. Buckman’s stand means more than the average person realizes to the residents of my dis- trict and I feel very elated I can as- sure you to go back home and tell me. . i X ) REPUBLIGANS MAY UNITE ON HUGHES 0ld Guard Makes First Definite Offer to the Third Party. CHICAGO PREPARED FOR WEEK OF NOISE Hughes Refuses to Issue Statement; Roosevelt’s Power is Inoreased. Chicago, ‘June 5.—The Old Guard today made the first definite offer to the Progressives. The Republicans want Hughes and believe that he can be a winner next falk Want Hughes, They would be willing to put Hughes at the head of a amalgama- tion ticket. Some of the Old Guard doubt if Roosevelt could be elected even on an amalgamated ticket against Wilson. The Old Guard’s plan is to let the Progressives nomin- ate Hughes early Wednesday. Then the Republicans will nominate Hughes Thursday. Thus the Pro- gressives would brag that they forced the Republicans to accept the same leader. LaFollette in Again. Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin will be a third-time candidate. He will be placed in nomination as Wis- consin’s favorite son. Four years ago he had a spectacular pre-convention fight, broke with Roosevelt and steam rollered out for Taft. The Progressive convention sud- denly loomed up big today when it was learned that Roosevelt was given the power to veto any Old Guard candidate. ° 33 Women Progressives. Thirty-three women delegates will be here for the Progressive conven- tion. Twelve come from the state of ‘Washington. A Roosevelt drive on Hughes was seen today at Oyster Bay in a state- ment by Lucian Bonheur, Progressive leader, calling upon Hughes for a statement and asking Hughes to tell how he stands on various questions. The statement said that he . must state how he stands or admit that le is the'German-American candidate. Hughes’ secretary at Washington today announced that no statement was forthcoming. John McGrath, Roosevelt’s secre- tary, today stated that Roosevelt would be absent from Chicago dur- ing the convention. Noisiest Spot. Chicago started today to make good on the prediction that for the next week it will be the noisiest spot in the world—unless it be Verdun. Cer- tainly it will be the spot where more words are spilled thary anywhere else. All of which is by way of preface to the fact that the convention crowds began arriving today. They came chaperoned by bands, mega- phoned assistants, singers and just plain noise-makers. By Wednesday, Chicago will be swollen with people to nearly twice its normal size. There are 985 delegates to the Re- publican national convention, to ar- rive, 985 alternates to the same; nearly 1,000 delegates and alternates to the Progressive national conven- tion; 20,000 women workers for the ballot, mostly out-of-town boosters; to say nothing of just plain specta- tors to the various affairs. Lobbies Choked. Already the lobbies of Chicago's loop hotels seem as choked with hu- EASTERN STAR TO HOLD MEET TUESDAY The Bemidji lodge of the Eastern Star will hold a regular meeting in the Masonic Temple Tuesday evening, June 6. There will be work. Re- freshments will served after which there will be dancing. The officers urge a large attendance and request that all “Stars” be present during the evening's program.

No flower pots, vases or chairs will clutter up space where enthusiasts may gossip, nor be near at hand for weapons in case arguments wax too hot. One well known hotel, which sports a fountain in the middle of one of its dining rooms, began today to en- close this spot of water.
