Thornton, Republican chairman, today stated that the supposedly Democratic Northern Minnesota is aot turning out very Democratic. He stated that ‘. the couaties would not go as " Democratic as the Democrats claim. 2:15 o’Clock. St. Paul, Minn.,, Nov. 10.— The Republicans refused to con- cede Democratic claims of Min- nesota this afternoon. The Re- publican figures showed that Hughes was leading in Minne- sota by 1,114 votes. It is ex- pected that this will be cut to 1,000. The soldier vote, it is believed, will cut this 200 more, " leaving Minnesota for Hughes by 800. (By United Press) New York, Nov. 10.—The United States has apparently chosen Wood- row Wilson a9 president and Thomas Marshall vice president. There is the barest possibility of recounts and contests upon which unyielding Tepublicans insist. California Decides. California was the deciding state. The total vote In California has not been counted but indications are that the remaining thirteen precincts will not change California’s thirteen votes from Wilson. The electoral college vote is as fol- lows: Wilson 269. Hughes 243. | Doubtful 19. The doubtful states are Minnesota, New Mexico and New Hampshire. The total 19 doubtful votes will not be sufficient to elect Hughes. The following is the electoral vote by states: as Wyoming ... z z 3 & b £ Alabama ......... 12 .

Although Minnesota returns as a pivotal state are not important, in- dications are that tre vote of the national guard on the Mexican border will make definite Minnesota returns impossible before next Tuesday. With Hughes leading this morning by A.- 043 votes, the Democrats admit that Hughes has perhaps carried Minne- sota by 400 votes, based upon the civ- ilian vote. They then point to the soldier vote which Colonel Luce of the Third regiment, Minnesota mili- tia, gives Wilson 1,200 and Hughes 600. This they claim gives Minne- sota to Wilson by 200 votes.

They are up against a serious proposition. Automobiles are being driven care- lessly through the village streets. The automobiles are speeding and cutting all sorts of corners. No ar- rests are being made—the village is without a traffic ordinance, accord- ing to word received in Bemidjl to- day, 5 The village of Fosston has an or- dinance but—it's a sad story. The ordinance was destroyed. A Ford car ran over the ordinance and destroyed it. The following is the tale of woe of Arne Solberg, village marshal: City Clerk, Bemidji, Minn. Dear Sir: Will you kindly send me a copy of your traffic ordinance, or send me the book which contains the ordin- ance, so I could copy the same and return the book to you, as there was a Ford car run over ours the other day and left it in such shape that we find that a new one is re- quired. Hoping to hear from you soon, and thanking you in advance, I am Yours truly, —Arnie Solberg. George Stein, city clerk, has prom- ised to go to the rescue of the vil- lage and will send a copy of Be- midji's traffic ordinance. BIGGEST FOOTBALL CONTEST OF YEAR _ INBEMIDJI SUNDAY One of the biggest athletic contests of the year will take place Sunday af- ternoon at the new athletic park in this city when the Bemidji and Grand Rapids city football elevens will clash. Athletic rivalry between this city and the Itasca county metropolis has always been very keen, both in city and school contests. The Bemidji city foothall eleven has been practicing every night this week and will be in good shape for the game Sunday. The lineup has not been decided upon but among the players will be former high school and college stars. The game should prove to be the best of the season. Grand Rapids has won a majority of its contests this year and is con- fident of the game with Bemidji. Bemidji has won the last two games played by the two city teams, winning here in 1913 and at Grand Rapids last year. A large crowd is expected to at- tend the game Sunday and from re- ports from Grand Rapids that team will be well represented by rooters. Glenn Peck, former “Big Bemidg" football and basketball star, will be in the Grand Rapidd lineup. The game will be called at 3:15 Sunday afternoon. “BIRTH OF A NATION" IN BEMIDJI TONIGHT “The Birth of a Nation,” the won- derful photodrama shown in Bemidji last spring, will open a return en- gagement of two days in Bemidji at the Grand theater tonight.
