Lindbergh for Hughes. 8t. Paul, Minn., Nov. 3.—Any 'bt as to where Congressman Lind- bergh stands on the question of the presidency was removed today by the receipt by Chairman Thornton of the Republican state central committee of the following telegram from Lind- bergh who is now in California at- tending the bedside of a sick daugh- ter: “You ask me to make speeches fa- voring Hughes for president. I am very sorry that I will not be able to get home before the end of the cam- paign as [ am in California trying’ to aid my daughter who is dangerous- sick. No president has had an op- wortunity to do so much for the peo- { ple as Wilson but he failed to do any- thing great in their interest. On the contrary, he not only neglected the opportunity to materially better their social condition but he actually aided the special interests to secure greater power and use the most ad- rdit methods to prevent the people from knowing." S £DERAL CONTROL -~ OF COLD STORAGES (By United Preas) Chicago, ‘Nov. 3.—Congressman ¥ Fred Britton of Illinols is drafting a bill for federal control of cold stor- stored, BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY E ' VENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1016. 'ADJOURN TO DEC. § The board of county commissioners adjourned their regular session on Thursday to Dec. 5 SATURDAY’S GAME IN BEMIDJI MAY DECIDE TITLE OF NORTH MINNESOTA Bemidji Eleven in Crucial Contest With Grand Rapids High Schol Team. PLUMMER AND PHIBBS UNABLE TO PLAY High School Grads and Merchants Urged to Attend Game at New Athletic Park. The football contest between the Bemidji high school and Grand Rapids high school Saturday after- noon at the new athletic park, will, no doubt, be the hardest fought game ever seen on the local gridiron for some seasons. Grand Rapids has lost but game and that being to the heavy Hibbing team. Hibbing in turn held the Virginia team to a 0 to 0 score, the: Virginia team not having lost a game for three seasons. The Bemidji eleven will be weak- ened considerably by the loss of Plummer and Frank Phibbs. These two men have been permitted to play in former contests, but on account of a protest will not be allowed to take part in Saturday’s contest. Saturday’s contest will find Capt. Bailey playing his last game with the local eleven. The other players who will be lost to the team this season are Warfield, White, Palmer, Gainey and Phibbs. There is no doubt but that in the coming contest all these men will put up the hardest game of their football career at Bemidji. Local football fans will have an op- portunity of seeing some high class football in the coming contest. Not only every alumnus but every local football enthusiast should make it a point to do their part toward win- ning tomorrow’s game. A good crowd is expected as con- siderable enthusiasm is being shown over the coming battle. The lineup will probably be as fol- lows: A Left end—Fred Phibbs. Left tackle—Hovey Lord. Left guard—Howard Palmer. Center—Leo Opsahl. Right guard—Daniel Gainey. Right tackle—Pierre Grey. Right end—Carl Tennstrom. Quarterback—Harold White. Right half—Claude Bailey (Capt.) Left half—Floyd Madson. Fullback—Herbert Warfield.

LEAGUE GIVES REASON FOR ACTION Enthusiastic Meeting is Held by the League at the Methodist Church. At a representative and enthusias- tic meeting of the Civic League in the auditorium of the Methodist church fast night, the candidacy of Charles S. Carter for representative to the state legislature from the 62nd district was unanimously endorsed. “Mr. Carter’'s fearless and open method of campaigning; his position upon the ditch question and all other questions looking to the best inter- ests of Beltrami county; his knowl- edge of state-wide interests; his stand upon all moral issues, together with his successful busines career and uprightness of character over against his opponent’s trimming method of campaigning; his failure to declare himself openly upon the important issues before the people; his failure to accomplish anything in the last legislature, although he claims to have gotten an appropriation for a state normal- school in Bemidji which, however, is not sustained by the journal of the house of represen- tatives; his failure to stand at any time for progressive temperance leg- islation and other moral legislation, together with his own statement that he seeks not the office because he was urged to do so, but because he wanted the job, is reason for the ac- tion of the league,” said Rev. B. D. Hanscom, president of the league, this morning. 10 TO 6 AND 10 T0 9 0DDS THAT HUGHES WILL BE ELECTED PRESIDENT New York and Washington Men Of- fering Odds That Republicans Will Win, HUGHES COMPLETES 30,000 MILE TOUR Colonel Roosevelt to Deliver Address at Buffalo, New York, Tonight. i (By United Press) New York, Nov. 3.—Republicans claim odds of 10 to 7 and 10 to 6% on Hughes today.
