Minnesota — Fair BEMIDJI, MINN., MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1922 Primary Election Being flel# to Select Candidates for Fall Elections SIX CANDIDATES FOR SENATE NOMINATION Old Guards Prefer to Keep Race Open Until After State Convention (BY United Press) Des Moines, June' 5—IJIowa voters go to ‘the polls today to select can- didates for the fall elections, In view of the progressive gains, the old-guard Republicans have been making particular_ efforts in. Iowa to hold the regulars in line:for, administration policies. There are now six candidates for| the Republican senatorial nomination for the seat now filed by appointment by Charles ‘A. Rawson, who took Senator Kenyon’s place when' the latter went on the federal bench. They are: * Represéntative Burton Sweet, former representative Charles E. Pic- kett, state senator Leslie Francis, Col. Claude Stanley, Clifford Thorne, former Jowa railroad commissioner and Smith Brockhart, who two. years ago was a candidate against Senator Cummins, Sweet is being touted by his friends as the “administration candidat.e” Pickett and Francis are in.the race, according to progressive leaders here merely to help along the plan of old guard chiefs. Brookhart is an advanced progres- sive. He and Thorne were political friends. v s e e Brookhart entered the race-first.| Thorne got in a few weeks ago, re- signing as counsel for a farmers’ or-| ganization to make the race:’ Under Iowa law, a candidate must/receive 35 per cent-of the vote:cast to be legally ‘nominated. With five can- didates in the field, it is obviously difficult for any one to get a large proportion of the vote unless he has a strong organization. If no candidate gets the 35 per cent, the choice of a nominee is to be made by a state convention. That is what the old-guard -hopes for. By keeping all six in the race and having Thorne divide Brookhart’s support among progressives, they ex- pect to throw the senatorship into convention, where their choice can more easily be selected.

June Bride BAGLEY NINE DEFEATED COUNTRY CLUB STAGES BY BEMIDJI CITY TEAM | ENJOYABLE TEAM MATCH Local Sluggers Prove Ability to Hit Bagley Pitchers; o Score Is 9 to 4 L S A crowd of fair proportions wit- nessed the ball game between Bag- ley and the fast city team Sunday at the fair grounds, Bagley going down to defeat by a score of 9 to 4. Camp, pitching for Bemidji, al- lowed 10 hits, and between Haine 'Tlld Mar?ine, pitching for Bagley, the Bemidjians got 16 hits. Haine is rated as a good pitcher, but his arm went “hay-wire” and could not keep the Bemidji sluggers from land- ing on his curves. The Bagley out- field played ragged ball and did not support their pitchers as they should, as many of the scores made were on account of errors. A triple play was pulled off by Bagley in the fifth with two men on bases. E. Bailey knocked one to the left fielder, who caught Johnson on his way to third and put Camp out on first when he tried for second, _ Pete Johnson won the box of ca:x.dy offered by the Ideal Billin‘d Parlors for the most hits. He se- cured a three-bagger, a two-bagger and a single. E. Bailey, C. Bailey, Fred Phibbs, Bill Berrigan, Jule Ach- enbach and Bill Lappen all made two hits, while Camp got one hit. The opening of the season at Dia- piond Point no doubt kept many of the fans away from the ball game. Manager E. S. Caskey stated that if the attendance is not better, future games will have to be cancelled, as the team will be in financial straits and the management does not care to assume any liabilities. So far, all the boys have been playing f}" “glory,” but they do not feel like (Continued ‘on page 6) NORWEGIAN LUTHERANS "WILL MEET AT SHEVLIN B —— I'he Bemidji circuit of the Nor- wegian Lutheran church of America meets at Shevlin, Minn., June 6 to 8, inclusive.
