F. Zanche, secretary of the Baudette County. Di'vision association, takes exception to a recent statement in the Pioneer to the effect that a Minnesota brewery had.a finger in the pie on the county division and asks that it be corrected. We are pleased to place Mr. Zanche’s statement pet_‘ore the| § public. He says the Beltrami County Division association was : organized in Baudette to further the county-division aqd that persons of standing and reputation were interested, which we are-also pleased to note. g We received our information as given in the Pioneer from a most trustworthy and confidential source and it emanated from one of the highest officials in the state of Minnesota, that a certain brewery was vitally interested in the division of Bel- trami county. We are not in the least inclined to cast any aspersions upon the good people of Baudette nor those interested in county division, but we are inclined not to doubt our authority, nor the assertion, also, it was certain business interests that used its efforts in behalf of blocking such division as proposed aqd on the grounds stated. To lay our cards upon the table in substantiation would be to violate a confidence, which no true l!‘ newspaperman would ever do, and we assure Mr. Zanche that | the statements made were entirely remote in mind to any asso- ciation formed for furthering action toward civic progress. 0- PICTURES ON TIME TABLES TAKEN. IN THE SUMMER Voters of Minnesota are being regaled with about the most roseate word paintings of the wonderful miracles that would be performed if the state administrative offices were only filled with a lot of frowsy disloyalists, treason mongers and malcontents, foes of the government and all that is unholy and sacred to the Liberty Loving American .people. They seek to array themselves in a halo and robes of sancity that is spectacle enough to'make a horse laugh. They put in cold type tirades of abuse upon the government of the United States that would cause the most radical I. W. W. to hide his face in shame, and then get up before an “admiring multitude” and wave the national colors to shreds and spread the Ameri- can eagle until he screams. It is beautiful to behold. But the thing for Minnesota voters to remember is that the pictures on the time tables were taken in the summer. ' 0 BELTRAMI COUNTY CALLS TO PATRIOTS ‘An organization was effected at the Commercial club yes- terday afternoon to be known as the Burnquist Loyalty Club. It is officered by progressive citizens and its membership in- cludes leading citizens, all recognized for their staunch support of the government and the state of Minnesota. All factions were cast aside. It is the loyalists that banded together and they will stick to the finish in retaining loyalty, patriotism and efficiency in the capitol at St. Paul. .

To elect the gang of disloyalists, men who are not respected except by the factions to whom common decency and love of country is a stench, would be a calamity|. and a disgrace not only to the state but to the United States. 0. PRETTY CHEAP GANG OF PIKERS A man who could be persuaded to vote for the candidates who are attempting to climb into office on a record of loyalty, yvhen their same record looks like a seive, would be great pick- ings for a shell game artist. Some of those candidates now parading their virtues before the people of the state would sell their Lord for less than the 30 pieces of silver as historically chronicled in the Holy Bible. 0 .

F HICKERSON, Manager m THEUNIVERSAL CAR When you compare the low prices of Ford cars with the prices of farm produce, farm stock and everything else on the _ market, the great value.of the Ford car can be fairly estimated. The price for the Ford Touring Car is only $450 £. 0. b. Detroit. It is the greatest value, not only among motor cars, but in the whole run of articles grown and manufactured. Think of a . five-passenger motor car ‘with the reputation for service, dur- ability and economy that’'s behind the Ford car, selling for $450. We urge prospective. purchasers to give their orders without delay. B C. W. JEWETT (0., Inc.
