By securing Bemidji as the meeting place for such a large body this city would reap the benefit in publicity and would have several hundred guests, all of whom would return to their homes boosting for ‘“The City of Enterprise.” The matter of securing the location of Hamline University of St. Paul for this’city was also taken up. The present site and buildings have been sold and the directors are considering -a new location. Several cities in the state are making efforts to secure the location and Bemidji is one of them. { This city would-be an excellent loca- “tion for the university.

TODAY| - ‘YANK’ ‘GLOOM FRANCE, CALLS AGAIN ‘Elsie Janis, Famous Stage Fav- orite, Comes for Legion; Repeats Tonight Making her first appearanee .in Bemidji in motion pictures for about two years, Elsie Janis was presented in the photoplay entitled “A Regular Girl,” at the Grand theatre yesterday afternoon and evening and will be presented again this afternoon and evening, under the auspices and for the benefit of the Ralph Gracie post of the American Legion. The story has to do with one of the many girls who acted as enter- .~ |tainersand, gloom-chasers for thej- “tboys “over there” and shows the be- loved Elsie returned to the old life again and not content to live the life of a social butterfly. She manages to break loose from the social ring long enough to meet. some of the “boys” whom she had cheeted in France and finds that many are out of work. At once she takes steps to help them find suitable employment and to aid those who were unable to work, she organizes and puts over a circus for their benefit. The circus proves to be a ‘“real” one and nets Elsie a large sum ‘with which to start : an employment office for the returned g A . . |service men.

The cast is ably supported through- out and Matt Moore as leading man is well liked for the- part he took in helping Elsie put over the circus. Miss Janis proves to be the same old “regular girl” which she was in her work in France and was well received by her audience. ANOTHER WRESTLING MATCH 1S COMING Looks as if ‘Bemidji was going to have another good wrestling match, among two local artists, the contest- ants to be L. C. Curtis and Al Hallett, and the time, at some date this month, as Hallett needs an opportun- ity for training and getting into con- dition. The challenger of the winner of the most recent contest is one of the old-timers here in Bemidji, and many friends would be glad to see him in action again, as he has for ithe past eighteen months had a large| number of bouts, he says, since he left Bemidji. He also says his wife is one of the best female wrestlers in the business and if any opponent cares to try conclusions with her on the mat she would be welcome. TRADE UNIONS WILL MEET SUNDAY TO FORM ASSEMBLY The Bemidji Trade Unions will hold a meeting at the Moose lodge hall Sunday night at 8 o’clock and it is desired that every member of the units membership be present. The object of the session will be the formation of a Trade and Labor Assembly for the purpose of affiliat- ing with the State Trade and Labor assembly. | .‘b , CARLOS AVERY HONORED.

Seattle, Wash.,, March 4. — Hugh M. Caldwell, former army major, was elected mayor of Seattle Tuesday by a majority of 16,781 Votes over James Duncan, secretary of the Seattle Cen- tral Labor council, his opponent, ac- cording to complete unofficial re- turns from ‘all of the 277 precincts. The majority was the largest ever given a candidate for mayor here. Caldwell received 50,840 votes, ac- cording to the returns, while those cast for Duncan totaled 34,059. Total registration for the city was 99,198. The campaign preceding the elec- tion was one of the bitterest in the history of Seattle, both candidates declaring frequently that the issue involved was one of “Americanism.” Frequent charges of radicalism were hurled at Duncan. Caldwell, who was corporation counsel here before he entered the army during the war, was supported in the campaign by three of the city’s four daily newspapers. The fourth, a labor daily, supported. Duncan. Duncan was one of the leaders of S_eattle’s general strike a year ago. Mayor C. B. Fitzgerald, incambent, was eliminated from the race at the- primary election held February 17. .
