Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1906-07-11

Yes, Sir! The TRIBUNE is
heartily in favor of the initiative
and referendum as well as the
imperative mandate and right of
recall. We deny that the pres
ent situation in Willmar would
admit of the application of that
principle in opposition to the
stand of the four no-license al
dermen. They have acted entire
ly within their rights and in har-
mony with their avowed princi-
pies. Furthermore, with the
referendum in force the people
of the whole community affected
would have a right to vote, and
that, in the case of Willmar,
would forever put away the ques-
ton of legalized whiskey and rem
der hopeless the plan of maintain.
ing little newspapers for the pur.
pose of creating sentiment for
saloons.

The political pot in Kandiyohi
has not yet begun to simmer,
and it will take some weeks yet
before the pot boils. Aspirants
for county Office are girding up
their loins, however, and setting
out their political lightning rods.
Under the workings of the pres
ent primary law, the larger the
number of aspirants the more
prone each one is to believe that
their following will land for them
the coveted prize. The race is a
grand free-for all, and there will
be entries enough when the hat
drops. Up to this time, no can
didates have appeared to contest
with the present iqcumbents for
the Offices of senator, sheriff,
Judge of probate, county attor-
ney and commissioner in the sec.
ond. district, not to mention the
minor Offices of surveyor or CO.
roner.

BERGEsON IS OUT.

The big five on the council has
been reduced to four. Bergeson
chose to resign and get out rather
than to stay on and attempt to
vindicate his honor which had
been publicly assailed by the
booze gang. BY his vacillating
and undecided actions he had so
thoroly Disguised his colleagues
on the council that they voted
unanimously to accept his resig-
nation when he refused to take
his chair at the council table.
Bergeson. has been the constant
target of the opposition since the
recent special election. If his
own statements may be credited
he has not only been threatened
with dire prosecution but has
also been approached with tempt
ing financial Inducements, :. all
Ringing on his resignation from
the council. It was charged re.
Gently that he had been offered
city work if he would remain on
the council. This charge we be.
lieve to be absolutely false. The
opposition used it however as a
basis for charge of graft. Now
according to the same authority
he was offered the city work if
he would resign. He did resign
and was awarded the city work
in his own name at once. Posi-.
bly, his resignation will be fol.
lowed by full retraction of the
charges made against him in the
saloon press Of the city. If not,
he has made a poor bargain.
The methods used by the sa-
loon element in securing the con
troll of the council tally up pre-
cisely with those used by it in
the spring election. That is the
kind of rule the people will have
if that element prevails.
The granting Of saloon licenses
was again defeated in the council
last night by a vote of four to
three. In the case of the; .appli-
cation Of A: a. Klevjer, Alderman
Tallman voted with the four: to
reject the same. - !.

Council July 9. 1906, at s o'clock D.
m.
Alderman Tallman offered the fol-
lowing Resolutions:
| RESOLUTION.
Whereas, at the regular charter
election Of the Oitv of Willmar this
surine substantial majority of vot-
ers declared in favor of return to
the Dolicv of licensed saloons rather
than continuance of So called "blind
piaQism:' and.
Whereas, at the recent special 6lec-
tion the results of the contests aD.
parentlv indicated in no uncertain
manner that the people believe that
the will of the majority should be re-
sDected: and
Whereas, the Council will in the
near future be called uDon to settle
definitely and decisivelv whether Or
not saloon licenses are to ba issued in
this oitv for the remainder of the fis-
cal, veal;
Therefore, be it resolved bv the
CITY council of the CITY of Willmar,
that a majority of the legal voters
of the oitv having declared in favor
of Ii ;ensed saloons, it should be the
poliov of this council to respect such
decision and act affirmativelv upon it !;
that in the carving out of such pol
lev we should. First, fix the license
fee at $500 90; Second, limit the
number of licenses to not more than
four: Third. act uoon such auplica-
tions as NAV come before US in omen
session, to the end that all persons in
terested NAV have full and free 3D.

Fourth, that in the granting of H.

Quoting an ORDERLY and law abiding

tion.

Tie Willmar Tribune was printed
this week on Tuesday evening.
Among the articles printed was one
telling Of a Fourth of July picnic to-
be held in the First ward, in which
article was the following significant
paragraph:
"Peter Freeberg will be on hand
with his launch Varuna on the lake
adjoining the grounds, ready for those
who wish for boat-ride.' -
It appears from the above that the
Tribune must have been cognizant of
the lawless act that was to be COM
mitted, and the question naturally
arises, why did not the Tribune in
form the Neutrality-suspicious. G
zette.
The Gazette is apparently very
hard up for something to charge
the TRIBUNE with. The church
people who wrote the notice of
the picnic might be easily ex-
cused from any knowledge in
what manner the proprietor of
the launch would bring his boat
to the place where it was adver-
tised to be run. The same matter
was run on poster and distri-
buted all over the city Tuesday
morning, as we'll as published in
the TRIBUNE and circulated Tues
day evening. If there was any
thing in the notice to awaken the
suspicious of the ordinary reader
it would seem that the authorities
should have had ample notice.

Congressman Volstead is receiving
general commentator in the papers
of the district for his refusal to vote
for the buy at home scheme in con-
nection with the Panama canal ma
terials. Four of the Minnesota mem
bers, including Mr.. Volstead, voted
against the measure, on the ground
that it would give certain trusts a
monopoly.-Willmar Gazette.
It is up to Congressman VOL
stead as well as the Republican.
Gazette to explain why it would
not be as good policy for the
government to buy at home at
stand-pat prices as it is supposed
to be for the private individual?
Is it a fair government that would
force it's people to- buy in the
trust protected market, while it
reserved the privilege to itself of
buying where it could get the
best figures? Or: perhaps the
vote may be- taken as indication
that Congressman Volstead will
change his attitude to that of an
active tariff revisionist with the
revision 'F':' headed: downward on
common cessaries Of life? 7 81

Atty. Gen. E. r. Young made
a rousing address at Spicer on
the Fourth. He exhOrted his
hearers to forget the political
chickering's and jealousies of the
past and rise up as one man and
rescue their liberties from the
dangers of predatory wealth. An
old populist present said at the
close "thatsounds alright to me. y
Another prominent citizen said,

said, II confess that 1 am be-

it was called, but he knew it to

All the races were pulled off in the
afternoon and by the time, these were
all over the crowd was eagerly warning
for the train which brought the, wan.
mar team. This game, the great eVent
of the day, the Monteyldeo pan .te en-
against Willmar's did not begin till
about five O'Clock. The Willmar boys
looked fine in their new uniforms and
it was freely predicted that she would
win as she had won several, games
this spring while MonteVideO had
played about ten and lost everyone OF
them. Montevideo however had greatly
strengthened her team for this game
and were fast aggressive bunch OF
ball players. For six innings 1t was
a fast exhibition of base ball and it
looked like it was Willmar's game
but in the fatal sixth the Willmar
pitcher went up in the air and before
he was brought to earth, Monte had
run five men across the plate. The
game ended to in favor Of Monte
video and except for that one inning
was a good exhibition of base ball.
It was played for purse of S75, sixty
per cent going to the winners and
forty per cent to the losers.
