Election in Bemidii.

The election in the Citysof Bemid il
was productive of several spirited
contests and dispite the undercurrent
of feeling, which was displayed by
the supporters of some of the candi-
dates, nothing of a violent nature
occurred, although there were several
warm" discussions.
The hottest fight in the city, and
in fact throughout Beltrami county,
was for the office of county attorney.
In this contest Chester McKusick
of this city, republican nominee and
also candidate on the Tax League
platform, was opposed by P. ].
Russell, also of Bemidji, democratic
candidate. In this city the contest
was an exceedingly close one, Mr..
McKusick winning out by the mar
row majority of two votes.
Bemidji paid a high compliment
to Judge Stanton, candidate for
reelection for judge of the Fifteenth
Judicial district, Mr.. Stanton re-

All of these reports, including
those from local country towns and
the wards of this city were tabu-

lobby of the Markham hotel.
There was large crowd of spec

were recorded on respective candi-
dates. on the national, state and
county ticket during the night.
When the returns first started to
arrive from the east, the vote for
Hughes, republican candidate for
governor of New York, and Chanler,
the democratic candidate, was about
an even break, the same being true
of the New York returns on BRYAN
and Taft. 100
AS the evening wore on, however,
big majorities began to be recorded
for Taft and Hughes, as we'll as
Taft gains elsewhere throughout the
nation, indicating that it was only
question as to the size of Taft's and
Hughes majority.
The early returns from St. Paul
on the governorship were favorable
to Jacobson, the republican nominee,
but after midnight, the reports were
all favorable to Governor Johnson.
When it was announced that the
governor had carried Hennipin and
Ramsey counties by big majorities,
and smaller cities added to his vote,
the reelection of Johnson was con-
coded.

NO PROHIBITION PLANK
IN DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Mr., Bryan Has Expressed The Wish Thai
It Be Left Out.
ASSOCIATED PRESS. J

Milwaukee, June 12.-CIaim-
ing to expect great gains in the
South with a possible victory for
the prohibition party in all Sou
thern prohibition states, State
Chairman Alonzo Wilson, of H.
inois. declared his expectations
to be based on the alleged oppo-
sition on the part Of VIM. J.
Bryan to prohibition. This
declaration was made before the
Wis onsin State Prohibition con-
vention, which convened at Lin
coin hall today.
In 18902 said Wilson, Mr..
Bryan stumped Nebraska against
a prohibition amendment to the
Nebraska constitution, and [
have in my possession a copy of
a letter from Mr.. Bryan to a
Southern man who desired a
plank for prohibition in the
Democratic national platform,
in which Mr.. Bryan declares if
his wishes are followed there
will be no such platform. Mr..
Bryan is in control Of the Demo-
cratic national convention and
therefore no prohibition plank
can be expected from that con-
vention. "
Wilson said this was the ex-I
PLANTATION of the Southern dele
gates who had been looking into
the subject, and he said he was
to leave for the South this even
ing to confer with leading pro
hibItion Democrats there about
their support for the prohibition
party if no prohibition plank
