NO REPEAL IN STATE PRIMARY No repeal or radical amendment of the Minnesota direct primary system will be brought about at the coming session of the Minnesota legislature through the representative in that body of Northern Minnesota. This is assured as the result of a canvass made by the Duluth Herald of the candidates for the legislature in the northern part of the state. Practically no sentiment among legislative candidates ravorable to & return to the convention system was developed by the canvass. Only onc candidate—Representa- tive C. H. Warner of Aitkin, who is also understood to be a candidate for speaker of the house—declared him- self in favor of a return to the con- vention system, and that only on state officers. His opponent, F. B, Megarry, stands for the direct pri- mary. Some sentiment in favor of minor changes and improvements in the primary law was developed, and sev- eral interesting suggestions along that line were received. There was apparently some evasion of the issue, a few candidates failing to reply, though replies were received from candidates in all the senatorial districts canvassed. The following is the result of the Herald poll in this district: Charles 8. Carter, Hines—*"I have had as yet no time to sound this dis- trict on the questions asked in your letter. My principles are opposed to any legislation that would in effect take away from the people any fran- chise or right they may now enjoy with reference to the nomination of public officials.” L. G. Pendergast, reply. Bemidji—No Representative Oscar T. Stenvick of Bagley was a visitor in Bemidji Tues- day. ¢ A French | Home bakery and (By United Press) New London, Conn., Nov. 1.—The |German submarine merchantman Deutschland arrived here yesterday on its gecond trip to this country. It carried a cargo valued at one million dollars. The cargo is com- posed of rare medicines and dyes. Twenty-five happy, jolly Germans compose the crew of the submarine. The crew is the same as last time, with two exceptions. One addition is a 15-year-old boy. Captain Koenig was in command of the craft. He stated that the Deutschland left Bremen on Oct. 10 and made the trip here without spe- cial incident. This is the second trip of the Deutschland to the United States in the attempt of the German empire to successfully evade the blockade of the allies. When it was first reported she was to start for the American coast a few \\'l‘(‘kslago, there was grave doubt in $he minds of many English and Am- erican sailors as to whether she could ever get here. Her sudden ap- pearance at the very edge of the har- bor and her arrival in spite of the big line of British warships, raised great admiration for the captain |among the people of America. Undaunted by the threats of the allied governments that this littde |ship would never cross the Atlantice, | Captein Koenig went out of an Am- erican harbor with the full knowl- | edzge of all the warships of the coast |guard. Even though special watches ad been set to see that the vessel did nou get through the line of cruis- | ers, she submerged within the three- {mile limit and disappeared I\'ie\\'. Nothing more was heard of the little vessel until she was reported safe within the harbor of Bremen. Washington, Nov. 1.—The United States will probably take little official cognizance of the arrival of the Deutschland.
