SheJl the People of Bemidji Rule It?
O NE yery important matter is to be decided at Bemidji's first
municipal election next Tuesday. It is this:Shall the people of
Bemidji rule the cicy or shall the lumberjack who is here today and
gone tomorrow do it?
For years elections have been carried in this city by the voting
of men who have no right to vote here. From 100 to 400 illegal
votes have been cast at a single election. It was partly in the hope
ol remedying this evil that the people of Bemidji voted to incorpor-
ate as a city and divide itself into wards that illegal voting might
be rendered more difficult and confined to a smaller area. It was
because of the knowledge that this would be possible that the
Bailey.McDonald ring so bitterly opposed city organization, and
oyen now plot to overthrow the charter.
In the rirst, second and third wards a careful canvass shows
that Mr. Gibbons for mayor will receive two votes for Mr. Carter's
one, counting every doubtful vote for Mr. Carter.' In the fourth
ward Mr. Gibbons will have close to one half of the legal vote. In
order, therefore for Mr. Carter to be elected he must obtain a very
large illegal vote. A careful examination of the situation will show
how it is proposed to do this.
It is exceedingly doubtful if there are 100 legal votes in the en-
tire fourth ward. Yet 194 persons have been registered, more
than 80 were refused registration and it is estimated that fully as
many more were deterred from offering themselves by reason of
the firm stand taken by the judges on registration day. This gives
us a grand total of about 330 persons whom it is proposed by the
Bailey McDonald ring to vote in the fourth ward next Tuesday, or
an illegal vote of close to 200.
This illegal vote, as repeated experience has proved, can be
voted, if voted at all, solidly for the candidates that the Bailey-Mc-
Donald ring selects. This illegal vote would wipe out the Gibbons
majority of 130 to 175 in the rest of the city and leave a smalf ma-
jority for Mr. Carter.
That a desperate effort is being made to cast this illegal vote
next Tuesday is clear to everyone who has taken an interest in the
present campaign. Men have been boarded at \arious saloon res.
tiurants for this purpose. The proprietors ol several of these
places haye frankly confessed this fact" as has been reported from
time to time in these columns men can not now be hired for the
woods although the cry for men is urgent from the logging com
panies the streets are full of men recently arrived from the Da
kotas on their way to the pineries and at a meeting in the McDon
aid-Carter-Daily Behindtimes-All The-Same-Thing office Tuesday
night a list of 200 of these men was prepared and divided among
the workeis of the ring that the men might be so coached that
their illegal votes can be recorded next Tuesday to defeat the will
of the people of Bemidji.
We do not believe that this plot to wrest from the people of
this city the power of governing themselves will succeed. The
fourth ward has an election board composed of men who are re-
solved to do their duty according to the strict letter of the law.
The illegal voter will register his vote with them with exceeding
difficulty and with great danger to himself. Morever the substan-
tial business men of this city, who aresupporting the candidacy of
Mr. Gibbons for mayor and the election of a business men's ticket
in the fight for good government, are resolved that Illegal voters in
this city shall be put where they belongbehind the bars in state's
prison.
But the plot will not succeed for a still better reason. The
people of Bemidji are beginning to realize the fact that a desperate
attempt is being made to wrest the management of their affairs
from them and they will on Tuesday next rise in their wrath and
cast such an overwhelming vote for Mr. Gibbons and the business
men's ticket that no illesral vote which it is possible for the Bailey-
McDonald ring to cast will avail to save its candidates from defeat.
Shall the people of Bemidji rule it, or shall we tamely allow the
passing lumberjack to do itv
mass meeting held Monday even-
ing October 23 at Masonic Hall
and attended by nearly one hun-
dred of the prominent business
men of the city." ^The interests
of these men are the interests of
the whole cityeverybody's in-
terestlaboring man, storekeep-
er, liquor dealer, clerk, profes-
sional man. Whatever affects
the business of a city, affects
everybody that lives in the city.
Which do you want to govern
our city-its business men or a
few politicians? The way you
vote next Tuesday has to do with
the permanent prosperity of Be-
midji.
The issue is squarely before us.
They Want Their Jobs!
In their extremity the members of the inner circle of the
Bailey-McDonald ring feel reduced to the necessity of the personal
appeal and they are beginning to beg for votes almost with tears in
their eyes. They want their jobs. Of course. That is exactly
why County Attorney McDonald is attempting to force the saloon
men to vote for the Carter- All-Tbe-Same Thing Bailey-McDon
aid ticket that's why he is threatening the business men, why the
county attorney and the chairman of the board of county commis
sioners are using their public offices to club voters into line, why
the board of men who are not yoters is being paid, why they forged
the names ol election judges to a false letter, why men are being
imported from the woods to vote next Tuesday, why a daily school
for 200 illegal voters is being held, why many other outrages are
being perpetrated upon the people of Bemidji.
They want their jobs!

The Indian never liked work but he
wanted his squaw to get well as soou as
possible so that she could do the work
and let him
hunt, therefore
he dug papoose
loot for her, for
that was their
great remedy for

nesses.

DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION
is not nor ever was a "patent medicine,"
but it is the carefully wrought out and
thoroughly tested real prescription of a
real physician in a real practice.
Dr. Pierce's unparalleled success with
this remedy was such that more wanted
to use it than any one doctor could attend
to in a private practice. This induced
him to manufacture it on a sufficiently
liberal scale to meet the demand.
his own special processes, he ex
tracts, combines and preserves the medi
cinal qualities of the several ingredients
without the use of alcohol (using chem
ically pure glycerine instead), thus ren
dering it absolutely safe for any woman
of any age and in any condition to use
freely. The names of the ingredients are:
Lady's Slipper root, Black Cohosh root,
Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh root and
Golden Seal root.

"I had headache, backache, and was very
nervous scaicely able to sleep more than
two hours at a time. I was advised to try
Di Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and was
delighted with the result. Within a week I
was sleeping splendidly. Continued using
the 'Favonte Piescription' for eight weeks,
and then stopped, foi I was perfectly well.
Ever since then youi medicine has been my

A HOTEL ON WHEELS.
New Dintng Cars of the Great
Northern Railway a Feature
of the "Oriental Limited."
Tt is, perhaps, best to say that
in every' espectchina, cuisine
and attendants, the dining car
service of the ''OrientalLimited"
is in keeping with the luxurious
ness of the remainder of this
regal train, and has won, as the
dining car service has always
helped to win, the title, -'The
Comfortable Way," for the Great
Northern Railway. The new
dining car service of the "Orient
al Limited" equals in beauty, de
sign and interior furnishings
anything which a first class hotel
or club affords in the way of ser
vice is really on the dining car
of the'-Oriental Limited." The
new dining cars were built with
a special purpose in view of af
fording the most comfortable
surroundings, as well as giving
the traveler a unique and luxu
rious place in which to enjoy his
meals. A gentleman who recent
ly made the journey to the coast
from St. Paul on the "Oriental
Limited", in speaking of the din
ing car service, said:
I have traveled on almost
every important railroad in the
United States, but I have yet to
find one which surpasses the
"Oriental Limited" in the comfort
and convenience afforded the
traveler. Your dining car ser
vice is excellent, the equal of any
in the country, and the superior
of many. I was particularly
struck with the beauty of the in
terior furnighings of these din
ing cars they are really a novelty
of car architecture."
STRANGE ADVICE!
Dr. O. O. Green gives alert personal attentloa
to his great humanitarian contract.
our Almanac for many years past we
have g[iven unusual advice "to tho se afflic
ted with coughs, colds, throat lung
troubles or consumption. W have told
them if they did not receive any special
benefit after the use of one 75-cent size
bottle of German Syrup, to consult their
doctor. l|We did not ask them or urge
them to use a large number of bottles, as
is the case in the advertising of many
other remedies. Ou confidence in Ger
man Syrup makes it possible for us to
give such advice. TW know by the ex
perience of over 35 years that one 75-cent
bottle of German Syrup will speedily re
lieve or cure the worst coughs, colds,
bronchial or lung troublesand that,
even in bad cases of consumption, one
large bottle of German Syrup will work
wonders. fNe trial bottles, 25c. reg
