SCOO THE CUB REPORTER COUNTY OPTION MEET TOBEHELDATWILTON SULZER ARRIVES TO ATTEMPT TO STAVE OFF HANLY NOMINATION New York Man’s Forces Attempting to Incorporate Anti-Catholic Plank in Platform. 5 — 5 RELIGIOUS FIGHT GREATER THAN PROHIBITION ISSUE Home Folks Present at Convention; William Shaw, Christian En- deavor Leader, Talks, By H. L. Rennick (United Press Staff. Correspondent) St. Paul, Minn., July 20.—Hun- dreds of the same kind of “home town folks” who make up the church boards, the chautaugua crowds and run the distriet schools in thousands of towns and villages, swarmed to St. Paul today for the Prohibition na- tional convention. * Motherly old women of the type that attend the home;and foreign mis- sionary society meetings back home and bake cake and make jellies for the pastor’s aid society picnics were in the crowd, so were bearded, gray haired old men in their black “Sun- day go to meeting” clothes. Some of them with collars and some of them who never wore one, To Down Rum. These delegates who came to St. Paul imbued with ‘the thought of downing the Demon Rum are so dif- ferent from the crowds who attended conventions of other political parties as the frock-coated city merchant is .|from the gnarly-fisted aproned store keeper at Hicks Corners, or any other cross road. The Prohis seem more earnest, and caring less for show. The women brought their tatting, their knitting and their patch work. It was a hot day and coatless, col- larless, suspender-showing shirts— some of them blue and some of them “hoiled”’—dotted the crowd at the auditorium. 3 Wears Diamond Stud. WEDNESDAY EVENING One of the first of a series of county option meetings to be held in Bel- trami county will be held at Wilton next Wednesday evening. A number of speakers will give talks. A meeting will be held at Solway Saturday evening, July 22. BEMIDJI BAND TO GIVE GONGERT FRIDAY The Bemidji band will give a con- cert at the city dock Friday evening beginning at eight o’clock.

BURCHARD TO ORGANIZE BOYS' BAND OF 50 PIEGES L. Burchard, director of the Be- midji band, is making preparations for the organizing of a boys’ band. He desires 50 boys for the band and boys desiring to join should make ap- plication to Director Burchard at once. The band will begin rehearsals about September 1. WORK IS BEGUN ON BELTRAMI PAVING Work was begun this morning on the paving of Beltrami avenue from 13th street to the present cement. ‘Work has been delayed several weeks on account of not being able to get For instance, there was Col. James M. Ingersoll of Poontells, Idaho, a grizzled, gray-mustached ranchman, who sat on the platform. His boiled shirt was collarless, he wore no coat, but his diamond stud illuminated his shirt as no necktie could. His gray socks came down over the tops of his square-toed black shoes, and he twirled his mustache, appearing like a gruff good scout, dressed up in his Sunday clothes and dreading it. Col. Ingersoll, the only Progressive leader attending the convention, was in the limelight continually. Prohibitionist 63 Years. Mrs. Kate M. Hamilton of Los An- geles, Cal., who is 74 years old and has been a Prohibitionist for 63 years, was ‘“grandmother” to many of the women delegates who greeted her. She sat near the platform dress- ed in prim white, with a bit of vanity expressed in ear rings that bobbed as she nodded her gray head. This convention sings for amuse- ment, where other parties shouted, marched and yelled. The Prohis joined in the chorus when .A M. Thatcher, who positively has the deepest voice in captivity, rumbled hymns and songs of the drys to the accompaniment of a piano—played by the same type of a girl who played the organ back at the Hicks Corners church. The delegates seemed religious and comfortable. There was no dressing for style—but a lot of “amens,” de- voutly pronounced, when the minis- ters prayed or the hymns were sung. Shaw Gives Address. “When good men and great par- ties, for political expediency refuse to commit themselves to a great cause vital to the happiness and success of the people, they should be set aside,” declared William Shaw, prohibition candidate for governor of Massa- chusetts in 1915, in-an address this morning at the convention. supplies in Bemidji.

Brabetz Gets Judgment in Case Against Emory Jarvis, ASSERTED LIQUOR CAUSED FATHER TO FREEZE FEET Three Other Cases Still Pending; Nymore Barber Was in Hospital for Long Time, Frances A. Brabetz, the seven- year-old son of Albert Brabetz, who was found lying in the snow near his home Feb. 1 with his hands and feet frozen, has been awarded a judg- ment of $5,000 in a suit brought by his mother, Leora Brabetz, guardian ad litem, against Emory Jarvis, Ny- more hotelkeeper, whom it was as- serted sold liquor to the senior Bra- betz. Judge C. W. Stanton of the dis- trict court, awarded the judgment. Carl L. Heffron was attorney for Brabetz. Formerly a Barber. Albert Brabetz, who was formerly a barber in Nymore, it is asserted ‘was intoxicated when he laid down in: the snow on the night of January 31 and became so badly frozen' that parts of his hands and feet had to be am- putated. It is alleged Jarvis hold him ‘‘squirrel” whisky. The action was brought under the statute which holds that a man who sells liquor is liable for damages that may result to an intoxicated person. No Legal Saloons. Brabetz is the father of two small children. There are no legal saloons in Ny- more, which is in the Indian “lid” district. There are still three other actions in the present case pending against Jarvis. These will probably be taken up at the September term of court. LINDBERG MAY YET FILE FOR GONGRESS IN “SIXTH” ‘Washington, July 20.—Report here has it that C. A. Lindbergh, recently candidate for United States senator, may file as an independent candidate for congress in the Sixth district. The Republican nomination was recently won by Harold Knutson. It is considered there would be nothing surprising in Mr. Lindbergh’s candidacy as an independent as his connection with the Republican party in the past has been tenuous.
