Candidates.
MISS McTAGGART'S Bid VOTE
IN THE CITY.
All the Bemidji Candidates Must
Have 1,500 Votes By
Monday Night.
Bemidji:
Ethel McTaggart 2166
May Villemau L350
liei'tie Branaoa 1-346
Laura Mayer 1125
Not many votes have been polled
in Bemidji today in the Pioneer
contest with the exception of
about 1500 for Miss McTaggart,
whose friends are evidently de
termined that she shall not be
counted out. She leads today
by a wide margin but there are
several thousand votes out for
the other candidates.
Miss McTaggart's big vote
today is said to have come from a
certain political faction which is
determined that another certain
political faction shall not be
allowed to name the winner. The
one party is said to have sworn
by the great horn spoon and
divers other mighty oaths that
their ancient enemies shall this
time be trampled in the dust.
However that may be the eon
test it is evident will be a spirited
one at the finish. No more en
tries from Bemidji will be allowed
after today.
All candidates in Bemidji who
do not have 1500 votes Monday
night will bo dropped from the
list.

HOLIDAY GIFTS
A GREAT VARIETY FOR ALL
up the north line is at a white
heat and there are several new
entries today.
Blackduck has several candi
dates who promise to overcome
the strong lead which Miss Myra
Mead secured yesterday. Miss
Mead is said to have a host of
admirers who arc working
ardently in her behalf. She is
exceedingly popular at Blackduck
and will set a pa^te for the swift
est. Blackduck however is a
very lively town and it has many
popular ladies. No less than,
four additional candidates are
entered from there today and
each one'gives evidence of ability
to make it interesting for tin
others.
Tenstrike is determined to
haul its favorite and the votes
that arc coming in from there
show that Miss Cyr will give all
competitors plenty to do it" they
'defeat her. Miss Q-nmont of
Tenstrike also shows much
strength and must be reckoned
with. There are rumors, also, of
a mysterious third candidate
with several thousand votes at
Tenstrike.
Kelliher enters Miss Craig to
day. Northome has no candidate
today but there are rumors of
two or more within a few days.
Home Made Money.
A five dollar bill drawn on the
state bank of Nova Scotia was
presented at the Lumbermen's
bank' this morning. It was a
genuine conterfeit and the bank
refused to accept it. Where the
money was made can not be
stated. It was a very poor coun
terfeit, Several bills of the same
denomination have been pre
sented for passage at several
business houses in town and re
fused acceptance.
Contract Awarded.
The contract for the cutting of
anew road between Kelliher and
Battle River has been let and the
worlc will be begun^ at mice. It
will open a resourceful country
tributary to Kelliher. Kelliher
is in the unorganized portion of
the county and a sentiment look
ing toward township organization
is reported as growing. It meets
with strong opposition in some
quarters, however.
