From Cass Lake comes news
to the effect that the citizens, Of
thatscity are preparing to cele-
5brate the Fourth of July in the
good old fashioned way a
meeting Of business men will
pro badly be held some time next
week to decide upon a program.
Bemidji will entertain the Liquor
Dealers convention this. month.
and will probably not celebrate
this year and if Cass Lake de
cides to do the honors most Of
the people from this city will no
doubt go down for the occasion.

The most conservative author
'ity on the situation is that the
natural sentiment in the county
is for Dunn, but the supporters
of Judge Collins are long headed
and have been making a heap Of
noise and a lott of claims which it
remains to be seen whether they
will substantiate or not. The
predicament of the party in Cass
county as a result is somewhat
amusing and demonstrates very
conclusively how bitter contests
may become under the right
leadership.

Dunn and Collins Forces in
Cass County Start a
Very Hot Fight.
PROSPECT OF TWO FULL DEL.
El,ATIONS. TO ST. PAUL.
Conventions Called For Pine River
and Walker and Fur Be-
gins to Fly.

There have been some sensa-
tional developments in the fight
for the Cass county delegation to
the Republican state convention
during the past week and the
prospects at the present time for
twodelegations to the state con
yention, each one claiming the
right to represe ntation are said
to be excellent.
While the other counties in this
vicinity have been paying com
paratively speaking little atten-
ton to the gubernatorial cam
paign, Cass county has been a
battle ground ever since the state
convention, when the Collins men
we're in the saddle, controlled the
county convention and senta Col
Inns representation to st. Paul.
The action Of the convention
caused quite general surprire,
butts said to have been the out
come Of shreWd manipulation and
not a spontaneous and reliable re.

the county on the gubernatorial
unpleasantness. Ithad the effect.
however, of arousing interest and
ever since that time there has
been something doing in Cass
county. The Collins forces, head
ed by George Lydick Of Cass
Lake, "A. A. Oliver, editor Of the
Oass County Pioneer, published
at Walker, and John King, who
aspires to be railroad and ware
house commissioner, together
with other Republican leaders
have long since announced that
they would carry the county for
Collins and the Dunn men have
stated that they would give them
Walker, Section Sixteen at Cass
Lake and great gobs Of the out
lying jackpine country and still
control the county convention.
The fight has Waxed quite bitter
and is attracting considerable at
tention in this section.
A meeting of the Republican
county committee to issue the
call for the comfy convention te
elect delegates to the state con
vention was on tap this week tc
be held at Walker bntthe county
committee had also entered into
the spirit Of the times and as q
result there are two county con.
ventions called, one TO be held at
Pine River and one to be held at
Walker. The bulk of the county
committee is said to have met at
Pine River and Nj. Oliver, WHO'S
secretary of the committee and
other mem bers who bided their
time at Walker were not notified
until it was too late for them to
attend the committee meeting, it
is alleged However, they went
ahead and promulgated the Off
cial call and the Pine River con
tingent did likewise.
