tee, certain interested parties Of
influence not desiring that the
bill be passed at that time.
P. j. Russell had been in cor
respondence with both Repre-
sentative Opsahl and Senator
Hanson. He believed that, by all
means, the fight should be made
on a bill esta blishing the school
at Bemidji, and for an eleventh.
hour substitute the location be
left to the SELECTION ofthe normal
school board. He was fully con-
vinced that, by the right kind of
work, the school could not only
be established but would be To-
Gated here. We have the best
railroad facilities, there being
practically four lines of railways
centering in zBemidji, and ten.
passenger trains daily run in and
out of the city. Plenty of land,
would be donated. He had sent
la bill to both Senator Hanson and
Representative Opsahl, with the
request that they introduce
them, and he had been given the
assurances of support from sew
eral Of the most prominent mem
bers of both branches of the
legislature. Thief River Falls
was located at the stub-end Of q
branch line Of the G. N. railway,
running from Crookston. True,
that place had the 500 road, but
the trains did not run six months
in the year, and were Of little.

upon for his views in the matter.
When the bill was introduced two

school at Bemidji as being the
most advantageous and desirable
point. There were some who
did not favor the school project,
at all, and a very few were not
particular where the school
would be located, although be-
lieving that a sixth normal was a
necessity. He had found that
Thief River Falls was in the
"game" for the school, and that
village already had a noted lobby
ist doing quiet work for locating
the school there. He believed
that the outlook was very en-.
couraging for Bemidji. Repre-
sentative Opsahl Of this city was
doing much quiet, but effective,
work for Bemidji. He believed
that the only thing necessary to
insure success was for the
'shustlers" of this city to "get
busy" but advised careful pro-
ceedure so as not to unneces.-
sarily antagonize the other aspir-
ants for the plum.
T. i. Miller stated that he was
certain that Bemidji had the
unanimous and hearty support
of at least one state senator
strong democrat whose influence
was felt in all important matters
considered in the legislature
Senator S. D. Works of Man
kato, who had assured several
citizen of his hearty cooperation
and the best efforts Of which he
was capable.
b. j. Swed back, ex-state sena-.
tor was the next speaker. He
suggested that bill locating the
normal school at Bemidjis be
drawn and that Senator Hanson
be requested to introduce the.
measure. He stated that the

If enthusiasm, determination
and unity of purpose count for
anything in an undertaking, the
meeting held last evening at the
Masonic hall for the purpose Of
discussing the proposition for
the establishing of a sixth state
normal school saugurs well for
the location of the institution at
Bemidji, should the bill providing
for the school become a law.
The meeting, which was a very
harmonious one, was attended
by representatives of nearly
every line of business, profession
calling and trade, including the
clergy, of the city.
The meeting was called to or
derby Mayor A. A. Carter, who
was unanimously elected chair
man, and w. B. Stewart was
chosen secretary.
There is a determination on
the part of Bemidji citizens to
use all honorable means in Sc
curing the school for this city,
and no effort will be spared from
this time on to gain that end, and
that sentiment predominated
last night.
Professor Stewart was the
first speaker called upon for
remarks. He had but few
days ago returned from a pri-
vate trip to st. Paul, during
which he had felt the Legislative
pulse" as it we're, relative to the
normal school matter, and the
citizens Assem- bled were anxious
to hear from him. Mr.. Stewart
stated that he had found many
influential people who not only
favored the establishing Of a
sixth normal school, but who
were also in favor Of locating the

NORMAL SCHOOL LOCATION WAS DISCUSSED:
R0USING MASS MEETING HELD LAST MIGHT

cants were from the north half
OF the state-the one.third not
represented by a normal sc hool.
In Beltrami county, there was
but one teacher outside the city
schools who was a normal gradu-
ate. The speaker belieyed that
the ratio would hold good as to
other counties in this part of the
state.
b b. Mcdonald again spoke,
stating that he was informed that
the averags normal school build
ing erected by the state would
cost $175, 900; and it would cost
$35, 900 to maintain the school
after once started. This amount
OF money expended in a COM
munity meant much to the pros
perity Of the place.
Mr.. Gould assured the meet
ing that be would see to. it that
many good men were put to
hnstling for Bemidji in this
matter, and that be would be on
hand when the final struggle
began.
The meeting adjourned sine
die, the members of the newly
appointed com mittee holding an
executive session Immediately
after adjournment of the mass
meeting.

THE MAYORS PETITION
BEING LARGELY SIGNED
J s
Two Hundred Names Secured in First
Two Hours. Mr.. Carriers Admin
istration Commended.

4 4 - 4
A petition has been circulated
during the past two days, for the
candidacy of A. A. Carter to sue
ceed himself as mayor Of the city
of Bemidji, and the document is
being very generously signed.
During the first two hours that
the petition was in circulation,
nearly 200 voters attached their
names thereto, and many others
are signing today, which indi-
Gates a general demand for the
return Of Mayor Carter to the
position Of executive officer of the
city.
While there may be some
slight opposition tothe candidacy
of Mr.. Carter for reelection, it is
not believed that it comes from
those who have the best interests
of the city at heart; those who
pay the taxes and desire to see
Bemidji strive and take her place
among the best cities in the north
half of the state.
Mr.. Carter s administration of
affairs during the past year has,
according to many who have ex-
pressed themselves on the sub.
ject, been conservative and fair
to all, and there appears to be q
desire for the retention of the
old administration of the city's
affairs.
The petition of Mr.. Gould for
alderman-at-large has also been
circulated and is being signed by
all who are shown it. Mr.. Gould
has made an excellent presiding
officer of the council and it would
be great mistake to not con-
tinue him IN q position where he
has done such excellent work for
the city.
