Several county districts report that the vote is very light. Other dis- tricts report that the most interest in the election is in the race for com- missioner offices. Up to noon today several hundred votes had been cast in Bemidji. Despite the fact that the day was clear, voters did not turn out. Even the candidates and politicians lacked the “old time’ election feeling. Clapp and Eberhart. In Bemidji the interest appeared to center on thé United States sena- torial fight.

NOTES ON THE GAME. “Big Bill” Berrigan was the hero of Sunday’s battle. He secured four hits, one a two-bagger, driving in four runs and scoring twice himself. Senator D. P.

He is a fast flelder and a good “sticker.” He should make a valuable man for the Bemidji in- field. Erickson, another new man, made his initial appearance in a Bemidji uniform yesterday. He played first base, accepting fourteen chances without making an error, besides se- curing a two-base hit.

However, he got on bases twice, being hit once and securing a base on balls. He scored both times. Tanner made a good catch of Coppess’ low drive in the third inning. There was gloom in the Bemidji camp when Thomas made his circuit drive but Bemidji came back strong in its half and put the game on the “ice.” Kannerberg was a trifle wild yes- terday but had better control of the ball as the game progressed. Bemidji had men on seécond and third in the fifth inning with no one out but could not score. One of the ‘largest crowds of the season attended the game Sunday. The Bemidji band was out Sunday and gave a concert before the game. TELEGRAPHONE, A WONDER OF WORLD, 1S DEMONSTRATED A telegraphone that supercedes a talking machine, widens the sphere of the telegraph, telephone and wire- less records; having for its main prin- ciple the localization of magnetism; a principle contrary to science be- cause this magnetism is controlled ab- solutely with permanent records if desired, or records at will; in short, a machine that records and repro- duces sound energy, is being shown and demonstratéd at Backer’s Drug store by W. F. Crutcher of San Fran- cisco, representing the Western agen- cy of the Telegraphone company. If you want to leave your office, you plug the telegraphone, and if a client wants to call you up, he is informed you are out but still the message can be taken, the machine records it and when you return the indicator shows the record which was reproduced in the very voice of your client. Speeches, opera performan- ces and court proceedings can be re- produced. It is the invention of Valdemar Paulson, the Danish Edison. GEORGE A. 0S600D DIES AT HOME HERE George A.

One hundred thousand citizen sol- diers will be secured. For Guard Duty. President. Wilson today stated that he had mustered the soldiers ‘“‘for such service later assigned to them for the protection of American citi- zens.” The state forces will only be used for guard duty. It was also announced that several more warships had been ordered to the Mexican waters. Officials insist that there has been no specific news from Mexico to pre- cipitate the orders. May Be Fighting. General Funston, himself, reported he supposed that the American and Mexican troops south of San Benito, Tex., were fighting. There an ex- pedition ordered across the border against the ultimatum would be at- tacked.

It is estimated that Funston has 40,000 regulars and 5,000 guardsmen outside of Mexico. General Pershing has 10,000 men in Mexico. Telegraphs Governors. President Wilson called the guard by telegraphing the governors of each state. There is very much excitement here. It is considered certain that the new order means war With Mexico. The Northwest strength is as fol- lows: Minnesota—One brigade of three regiments of infantry and one regi- port to Fort Snelling: North Dakota—One regiment of infantry ordered to report to Fort Lincoln. South Dakota—One regiment of in- fantry to Redfield. Iowa—One brigade of three regi- ments of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, one battalion field artillery, one company of engineers and one|- field hospital corps ordered to report to Des Moines. Wisconsin—One brigade of three regiments of infantry, one troop cav- alry, one battery ordered to report to Fort Douglas. Congressional Action. Secretary Baker today took steps to take the national guard available for immediate duty in Mexico. He sent a resolution to the house mili- tary affairs committee. If it re- ceives favorable action it will permit the using of the state militias inside Mexico. B Chairman Chamberlain today stated that he thinks that it is pos- sible to send national guardsmen across the border without congres- sional action. Consul Silliman of Saltillo is en- route to the border under official or- ders to quit his post. Secretary Daniels today ordered seven additional gunboats and several smaller craft into Mexican waters. He described the movement as merely precautionary. Clashes Reported. Developments in the Mexican sit- uation Saturday were as follows: General Pershing confirmed the re- port that he had received a communi- cation from General Trevino. It was practically admitted, in of- ficial circles, that Trevino threatened to attack the American forces if they moved in any direction except north- ward. A clash occurred between American HREE KKK KKK KKK KK KX NO MILITIA OFFICER RELIEVED FROM DUTY (By United Press) Washington, June 19.— war department issued an or- der this afternoon saying that no militia officer would be re- lieved of service during the life of his present commis- sion.

War May Follow. ‘Washingten, June 19.—America’s “‘mailed fist”” confronts the Carranza government. : A dispateh of U, 8. boats and state militia to the vicinity of Mexico is the administration’s last trump card to quiet the troublesome situation. If this don’t work officials fear that war will follow. Officials frankly feared that the dispatch of 100,000 soldiers to the border may make the Carranzista generals think that the action is war- like and commit acts which will only result in war. There is a realization that the Carranza government is gradually growing weaker. Mobilize Thursday. St. Paul, Minn.,, June 19.—The Minnesota National Guard may be mobilized at Fort Snelling Thursday. The present orders were telegraphed at three o’clock this.morning and ordered all military units at the va- rious company’s armories at nine o’clock this morning.

Buenos Ayres, June 19.—The ma- jority of the people in South’ America are bitterly hostile toward the sud- den U. 8. military activity. They distrust and fear that the U: 8. is planning territorial expansion. The people here think that even if the United States does not intend to extend its boundaries southward, it =urely intends to establish a pro- tectorate cver Latin America. They «laim that its protectorate would be tiz» livet slep toward aggression. ‘The General Public says: “The Am- ficans in Mexico are merely harvest- ing well deserved results on account of their long meddling ir Mexican affairs. It is the inevitable fruit of their political and financial in- trigues. Now these plotters are caught in the net of their own de- struection, calling upon their govern- ment to save them even at the cost of a lzng and terrible war.” It is not believed here that public sentiment is not for war. Note Delivered. Washington, June 19.—The Mexi- can embassy today delivered a note io the state department, the contents of which are confidential. It is stated that it was not an ultimatum.’ Mexicans Ready.
