" OPFICIAY COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS pEETEE——— RAKO STANDS UPON HIS RECORD FOR ELECTION. County Commissioner A. _E.' Rako of Bemidji township, who is a candidate for reprensentative from Beltrami county in the house of representatives of the state of Minnesota, as the successor to the late Representative Pendergast, is makinig an effective campaign for election. Mr. Rako is a prosperous farmer, one of the prime movers in all that has to do with the advancement of his fellow agricul- turists and their interests, was one of the sponsors of the hand- some Carr Lake school, an ardent supporter of Bemidji, and as a member of the board of commissioners has had the best interests of the county at heart. Mr. Rako has no apologies for his record as a servant of the people as a commissioner. He stresses his claim that if elected he will be the representative of all the people and no faction. He believes he can fill the office of representative in a competent manner and with ‘credit to his constituents and his district. As to his loyalty there is not the slighest question and his many friends are enthusiastic over the outlook on the day of election next month. ——— BEMIDJI HEARS THE CALL OF DISTRESS. Bemidji has heard the call of distress from the widows, orphans and destitute, caused by the terrible forest fire that took an awful toll of life in a most horrifying manner, render- ing thousands homeless, without a particle of their former possessions remaining, and .scarcely clothing to cover their nakedness and preserve them from the coming winter. . “Bhe fire xelief fund, started by the Pioneer, leaped into prominence at the outset. It was a revealation to see wage earners contribute without the slightest hesitancy, while others more fortunate loosed their purse strings in contributing, and many more will do their bit to aid the suffering victims of the holocaust. 1t is this spirit that amlagates the doctrine of humanity in the hour of distress, and all Minnesota is pouring out its store to succor its stricken fellow citizens. . 0 SHOULD RECEIVE THE MOST SEVERE PENALTY ‘When Mayor Vandersluis asked the Pioneer to publish a notice from him warninig those who have been in the prac- tice of emptying cuspidors onto the business district pavement, depending upon the street department to clean up the con- tents, he expressed himself in no uncertain manner of those who have been committing this offense against the common de- cency and sanitation of the community. These human hogs, as a rule, are on a par with such acts and the sooner they are squelched the better. They will be punished if the nuisance is not abated and they should be dealt with in full keeping with their contempatable acts. PEARE Y, Vil WS U BEMIDJI KEEPING WATCH OF FIRE SITUATION. ‘As Bemidji rose to the occasion of the Spanish influenza epidemic and took it at the outset before it gained a footing herg, so, too, are the business men taking every precaution against allowing fire to come near the city or menace anything near its limits. With every alarm, no matter of what importance, the business men, members of the Home Guard and Motor Corps, answer promptly and without regard to their pressing business affairs, and the entire situation hereabouts is in good hands and receiving intelligent direction and attention, O LOYALTY SHOULD VOTE FOR LETHERT. Says the State Democratic central committee: Charles A. Lethert, democratic candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, Mueller’s opponent, is making a great campaign and receiving splendid encourage- ment wherever he goes. He is particularly fitted for the duties of the position and will, if elected, be a credit to the office. We’ll endorse that statement. elected. Mr. Lethert should be ——0 The .Kniser’s earlier declaration that he proposes to fight to “the bitter end” conveyed a pretty correct description of the kind of end his forces will meet. s One subject of discussion will be cut off.
