Minneapolis, Nov. 3—*“Running for office isn’t as hard as it looks.” _Anna Dickey Olesen, first woman nominee for the United States Sen- ate, is convinced there is mo.such thing ag a “killing campaign.” “I will admit is has been strenuous but it has ben invigorating and entirely enjoyable.” In fifteen. weeks, Mrs. Olesen, Democratic choice, has conducted the most strenuous personal campaign on record she believes. She has cov- ered every county 'in’ the state by automobile, speaking as many as 11 times in 2 day and working seldom less than 16 hours out of the 24. “Jt isn’t wearying or tiresome,” she said. “I 2m in better trim phy- sically and mentally, than I have ever bcen. Every musele in my body is supple and strong- I have been living out of doors. It has been strenuoug but it has built me up. Running for office is the finest kind of exercise. TALK BY-J. ADAM BEDE Noted‘ Humbrist is Heard - by Club.at One of Its: Best Meetings Ever Held R “Saints and Sinners” had charge of the regular meeting of the Be- midji Kiwanis club at the Elks club rooms Thursday mnoon. Rev. L. P. Warford, Lee LaBaw, Supt. J. C. West and Rev. William Elliott com- posed the committee in charge, the Jatter acting as chfirman: of the meeting.. The session was unusually well attended and the committee was fortunate in having a program which proved to be above the average. Through proper manipulation, one of the attendance prizes, a book en- titled “What a Young Man Should Know,” was awarded to John Claffy and another book “What a Young Wife Should know” was drawn for Gerie Berman, but since he was not preseiit, it went to Tom Ervin. Judge - Stanton introduced as his guest, a colleague of early politics, J. Adam Bede, who gave a humorous as well as instructive talk which oc- cupied the allotted time for the meeting, and was thoroughly enjoy- ed by every one present. J. Adam Bede has been a national figure for a great many yearls and bas a reputation for wit that néeds no apparent effort for him to main- tain. , i . egate any other o the work of _home,” he declared, taking his hearers from the time when the s the centér of all activities oreSent day when the home considered “just a filling station” 2nd. declaring that our boasted juv- ts _were an _indictment against_parents and . against. our present civilization.

VanSant, and Fred Hadley, publisher of the Winnebago City Enterprise, will be the principal speakers at the second big Republican rally to be held in this city this evening at the new ar- mory at 8 o’clock.” The meeting' will be preceeded by a musical program by the Bemidji Boys band, the speaking program to begin at 8:30. The Hon. VanSant was governor of Minnesota in 1901 and hag been active in Republican politics since that time. At the present time he is devoting his efforts toward con- vincing the voters of the state that the Republican ticket should be sup- ported in its entirety. Both he and Mr. Hadley lare wery able speakers and an interesting discourse on political affairs of the day is assured in each instance. The Bemidji Boys band has been engaged by E. B. Berman, chairman of the Beltrami county Republican Committee, and plans have been made for one of the biggest political rallies ever held in this city. This meéeting is to be free of charge and the public in general is invited. Arrangements have . been made to care for a large attedance. and there is every indication that the armory will be filled to capacity. DIEDRICH TO OFFICIATE TWO GAMES AT DULUTH Dr. J. W.

RIGGS Banquet is Surprise Affair; Silk Banner Given Band by Kiwanis Club A surprise banquet took place Thursday evening at the Civic and Commerce association rooms, well- planned by the members of the:Boys Band and their mothers, compliment- ary to Bandmaster G. O. Riggs. In spite of the fact that business seemed to require Mr. Riggs’ attention at the City hall a ater part of the afternoon, and the committees met with many difficulties in dodging him while making the ‘preparations, noth- ing of the sort was surmised by him until the boys began to gather at about six o’clock and then it was that he got an inkling that some- thing mysterious was going on. Long tables set in the dining room were beautifully decorated in the Halloween scheme, with crysanthe- mum boquets for center pieces, little skeletons attached to water glasses for favors, and at 6:30, 67 members of the band and the leader partook of a well-prepared chicken supper, to which all did justice. Immediately following the supper a committee from the Kiwanis club composed of Messrs. West, Elliot and Whitman appeared. Mr. West act- ing as spokesman, told in an impres- sive manner of the regard of the city for the Boyg band and at a given signal ‘a_beautiful blue silk banner with gold lettering, was unfurled by Mr. Whitman and presented to them. Walter Barker, president of the band, responded in a few words of appTe- ciation and thanks. Eugene Koehn then apeared, carrying ‘a leather traveling bag, nearly as large as him- self, which in behalf of the Boys band; he presented to the bandmaster. Mr. Rigg thanked the boys. In view of the fact that he announced in his talk that the usual band practice would be postponed, the boys were glad to acept the invitation extend- ed by G. S. Harding to be his guests at the Elko theatre for the remain- der of the evening. The remains of Anna Ekstrom of Roosevelt township were brought to Bemidji and prepared for shipment to Minneapolis, her old home, for this year under the tutelage of Coach Franson, a graduate of the Michigan Agricultural college, and Bemidji is sure to have a hard battle if the local boys expect to win. Park Rapids hag defeated Wadena, Crosby-Ironton and several other schools which always boast strong teams. » 5 Bemidji will again be minus th serviceg of Captain Neumann, full- back, who was recently called to Bend, Oregon bepause of the death of his brother-in-law. Otherwise the regular line-up is expected to take the field against Park Rapids. The Hubbard county boys will have “their strongest line-up in the game, it is understood, and will be out for victory if possible. It is ex- pected that a number of Bemidji fans will accompany the team and help pull them through to a victory.

Leaders Certain Of Republican Majorities on Entire State Ticket St. Paul, Nov. 3,—One big quest- jon stood out today as the political campaign in Minnesota swung into the home stretch. Will the peope vote the way they shout? The answer will be the number of votes given Anna Dickey Olesen, diminutive woman nominated by the Democratg for the U. S. senate. All political factions agree that she has conducted the most stren- uvous campaign ever conducted by any candidate for senator in this state. They conceded that she has ad- dresed crowdg and ibeen accorded enthusiasftic applause in every sect- ion of the state. But always the question recurs— “Wil the people vote the way they shout?” . If they do, Mrs. Olesen stands a better chance of upSetting normal Republicanism in Minnesota than any oe in recet years, her managers be- lieve. Under normal conditions Senator Frank Kellogg should be returned to Washington by a substantial major- ity. With the vote split three ways —between Republican, Democrat and Farmer-Labor, the division should favor the Republican’candidate, ac- cording to political history. Minnesota hasn’t been upset politi- cally recently, and the only factor that leads toa doubtial perspective of the situation this week is the trad- itionally doubtful element—woman. Not only is woman voting—but woman is voting on a woman versus two men. i ‘If all of the senatorial candidates were men of recognized political faith, the popular conclusion appar- ently would be that women voters would vote largely according to the political beliéfs of their husbands. But the presence of a woman in the campagin ushers in a new and pre- viously unexperienced angle so far as Minnesota is cocerned- Whether womanly pride in the distinction accorded one of the fem- inine sex will affect the vote is a question even wisest politiciang have grown weary over. Republican leaders are fully con- vinced that there is no sentiment either of chivalry on the part of ghe masculine voter or pride on the part of the feminine gender, that will change the political complexion in the state. They are certain of Re- publican majorities. B NEW TURKEY ABOLISHES SULTAN; TO NAME CALIPH (By United Press) Constantinople, Nov. 3—New Tur- key has abolished the sultan. The Nationalist Assembly at Angora pas- sed yesterday a law suppressing the ‘Turkish sultanate and the law of suc- cessor to the throme. The present sultan, decendent of a thousand ab- solute monarchs, is the last of the line. A caliph, who will take over the holy duties heretofore exercised by the sultan as prophet of the Mos- lem, church, is to be elected, his office to be of the church, and not of the state. The Nationalist Assembly will hold all the power in Constantinople and throughout Turkey, according to the new law. A salute of 100 guns roared out in celebration of the law’s passing. Kaisin Kairabekir Pasha was immediately dispatched from Angora to Constantinople to give the sultan an opportunity to resign and take over the city administration in the name of Mustapha Kemal’s Nat- ionalists. PRESIDENT HARDING ISSUES THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION (By United Press) Washington, Nov. 3—Pregident Harding in his annual Thanksgiving proclamation issued today, calls up- on the people of the country to con- tinue “to make our own + fortune & means of helping ani serving; best we can, the cause of humanity.

S, Revenue Law, Report Shows Revisions in Federal taxes, which are effective for the current year, will save the taxpayerg of Miunestoa the enormous sum of $13,760,000 according to a special survey of the changes in tax rates provided by the Revenue Act of 1921, completed re- cently by Internal Revenue Collector L. M. Willcuts. The reduction in taxes for 1922 is approximately as follow: Income tax §1,100,000; Transportation Tax, $10, 860.000; Sales and Luxury tax, $1, 860,000. Transportation, sales and luxury tax repealg became effective January 1Ist of this year, while the income tax reduction covers 1921 as well as 1922 and thereafter. Thq outstanding feature of the report is the fact that during the four years the transportation tax was operative $465,496,197.84 was paid into the United States Treas. ury through the Minnesota dist divided as follows: Freight, $27,78. 461.15; Passenger $17,017,180.40; Express, 5,300.91; Pullman berth, $427,255.: This represents an expenditure in the last four years for transporta- tion charges alone of $1,14¢ . for passenger fare 018.20 for express, and $5. 25 for pullman berths. The $1,100,000.00 income tax re- duction is distriputed among appro imately 50,000 taxpayers with in- comes les than $5,000. The new exemption allowed mar- ried men and heads of families is $2,500,.and in addition $400 for each dependent, which is an increase in exemption of $700 i the casc of a married man with one dependent, or a tax saving of $28.00. The relief afforded by the decreas- ed taxation under the present rev- enue act affects every person in Minnesota who travels, pays freight, sends an express package, buys a pullman berth, takes a drink of soda water, attends a ten cent movie, or who hag a taxable income. In other words the relief afforded reaches all classes. BELIEVES STORY TOLD BY CONFESSED WITNESS Husband of .;Il‘;lr—dered Choir Singer Says He Believes Mrs. Gibson’s Story New Brugswick, N. J., Nov. 3— James Mills, husband of the murd choir singer, walked on the of the Hall-Mills murder today, and declared he believed that the i a “great "deal of truth in Mrs. Jan Gibson’s eye-witness story.” “My wife and Revered Hall werc murdered by someone very close to cne of them,” said Mills, who has thrown aside his me2k, inoffensive demeanor, and is demanding justice in the case. His form straightened and eyes flashed sparks of fire when for the first time he went to the Phillip’s farm and without emection cooly discussed the of the murder. “The murder could never have been committed by a stranger”, he said “The person who killed my w Reverend Hall eveidently w: their bodies to be found and identificd immediately. Otherwise, th2y wouid have thrown them in the thickest of the bushes,” he pointed out. “The murderer in my opinion, was related to one of them.” Mills went over with great care the course Mrs, Gibson, eye-witness, de- seribed when she said she saw two couples angrily facing each other in a dispute over the packet of letters. “I" beliecve her story is true”” he then declared .speaking of Mrs. Gib- son’s tale to the authorities.

Winkjer of Department i of Agriculture and Local Agent Report Progress INTERESTING MEETINGS | HELD THRUOUT COUNTY Further Work in This Line To be Carried Out Next Spring by Winkjer J. G. Winkjer of the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture spent the last two weeks in Beltrami county }vith County Agent D. C. Dvoracck in the interest of co-operative bull associations. As a result of this work one more Guernsey association was organized around Blackduck, which, when completed, will own six pure-bred Guernsey bulls, thug en- suring the use of such sires for a per- iod of twelve years. Thus the breed choice or preference practically is fixed for these communities for a time gufliciently long enough to dem- onstrate the value of, pure-bred sircs so convincingly that a change of breed to them is highly improbable. In short, the movement in their herds will be so marked that the common scrub cow will be in eternal disgrace. These associctions will also be the basis for introduction of pure-bred fe nd the establishment of pure-bred herds. Three more blocks were added to the Hagali Holstein association, mak- ing a total of seven. This makes it rong organization and pracitcally fixes the breed for that community. Interesting meetings were held at Quiring and Shotley, called espee- ially to consider the project. An- other Association i8 in prospect as a result of these meetings in that cor- ner of the county. A ' At Shotley, iive farmers bought a bull together.. .This hull cost them. including transportation charges and incidentals, $140.00. A short time ago they had to sell because the bull had been in the block two years. Not finding any other market for him it went into a car with other stock and The net receipt was $40, a loss of $100. This a well organized bull association would have saved. The members are not over prosperous and the transaction wag rather discouraging and it is doubtful if they will buy unless they can work in on the bull association plan. If they do not buy one some of the members will drift back into the old way of indefinite breeding. Carl Nelson had moved into the Inez School District, from Wiscon- sin, and had brought with him a bull that was from a cow with a 751-Ib. fat record in 365 days. Mr. Nelson had to send this bull in a car with other stock to go to the stock yards and it nctted him $47. Could he have had the exchange on a good bull sociation, Mr. Nelson would have Lbeen provided with another bull for +no cost and the promising bull would not have been sacrificed on the block- At a meeting of the memberg of the Turtle River Bull Association one block reported that they were get- ting new members. A neighbor who did not want to use the breed that was chosen by the association bought a bull of his own of the breed he wanted. Now, said a member of thig block, the bull that was bought by the individual has been sold and those using him were left without any other choice than to come to the bull owned association. This instance en at Shotley ghows how the bull iation and this mecting showed i | keeps the members of a bull associa- tion on a constructive line of brecd- ing at all times; At a meting of the members of the Turtle River Bull Association this week many of the problems of the organization were ironed out and an honest effort was made to get the records of their cows and heifers (Continued on Page 8.)
