DOUBT STILL EXISTS AS TO
ELIGIBILITY OF j. j. OPSAHL
TO SERVE IF HE'S ELECTED
Attorney General Young Renders Opinions Which Is Only
PARTIAL Relative to Opsahls Eligibility. Nothing
About Eligibility to Serve.-.-Many Attorneys Do
Not Concur in the Opinion

The CroOkston Journal of Sat
urday contained the following
concerning E. T. Y0ungs opin-
ion that the increasing Of sala?ies
would not make a member
Of the last legislature ineligible
until one year after expiration of
office, and that the statement
would indicate that the attorney
general is alone in that OpiOi0n;
and that attorneys of repute
agree that members Of the legis
lature of two years ago are not
eligible to serve until one year
after January l, 1909: j.
."Local attorneys who have read
e. T. Young's ruling, which is to
the effect that members VI the
last legislature which. increased
the salary ofrepresentativesfrom
$3.50 to $1,000 per term are eli
gible to reelection despite the
state constitution, which says no,
and are of the opinion that should
Holton and Saugstad be nomi-
mated and elected, Polk county
would be without any represent
atiyes.
"They hold that the section
of the constitution quoted by
Young, applies specially to mem
bers 0fthes le9islature TO prexeat
them from reaping the benefit Of
voting themselves big salaries"
At any rate, there is a serious
doubt cast over Mr.. Opsahl's eli,
gibllity, and voters should cast
their ballots for Henry Funkley,
against whose eligibility there is
no doubt.

EXCURSION TO RED LAKE
WAS LARGELY PATRONIZED
About One Hundred People Took Advantage Of the Fine
Weather to Visit Many Points Of Interest on the
Historic Red Lake

The excursion to Redby on Red
Lake and also to Red Lake Agency,
which was given by the NJ. r. L.. &
M. railway company, was very en-
joyable affair, and was participated in
by about 100 people, the majority of
whom were taken on at Bemidji.
The railway company put on a
special train, which left Bemidii at
$50 in the morning. The train con-
sisted of two coaches and an engine,
and all the seats were comfortably
filled before the train left the local
depot. ~ - ~. =
The trip to Redby was made with
out mishap, S. Vincent, local agent
going along with the train which
was in command of Conductor Mike
Dryer, with Paul Garrigan at the
throttle of the locomotive.
Dinner was had at Redby, the
majority of the crowd stopping at
Hotel Cassin, where Pat Cassin looks
after the welfare of the guests in a
most estimable manner.
In the afternoon large number
of the excursionists boarded the
railway company's gasoline boat on
Red Lake and went to the Red Lake
Indian Agency, about six miles up
the shore. A stop of over rwo hours

Built Fine Cottage.

J. Williams of Grand Forks,
N. D., has recently completed the
erection Of a substantial sum mer
residence at Lavinia on the shore of
Lake Bemid il. The house is fine
small structure costing in the neigh
borhood of $780,.
Mr.. Williams left for Grand Forks
Saturday afternoon and will spend
the winter there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Williams will return to this city next
June and spend the beautiful sum-
mer season at Lake Bemidji.

resentative would be little short of
criminal negligenc &c. There are
good roads, drainage and the general
development of this part of the
state-all vital questions which must
be attended to. And Opsahl has
created suck intense feeling by the
methods used in his campaign that
were he elected and there was any
chance to unseat him, it is Ger tain
that he would be the target for liti-
cation, thus destroying any efforts of
which he might be capable in furth-
ering our interests. Let him be
ever SO able a man, his work would
be questioned and his vote in the
legislature doubted as to legality.
A vote for Henry Funkley assures
the people of the Sixty-frst district a
hustling representative, whose seat
will not be contested, in any event,
whose style of campaign has made
friends for this community, instead
of tearing apart friendships of long
standing and arraying every indi-
vidual against his neighbor.
The insulting insinuations made
by Opsahl and his worthy associate
cold Allen''9 against Mr.. Funkley's
moral character will but react
against Opsah1, and that gentleman
will be. given the overwhelming
defeat which he deserves. -
Don't throw away your vote by
casting your ballot Tuesday for a
man whom the constitution of the
State of Minnesota says distinctly
cannot serve for at least one year
from next January-if nominated and
reelected.

,. At the request of J. J.. Opsahl,
made through his representative,
John l.. Brown, we herewith print an
opinion given by attorney General
Young, wherein that gentleman gives
an opinion as follows concerning the
question as to the eligibility of a
member of the last legislature to
serve in the next legislature:
"Bemidji, Sept. 10, 1908.
E. T. Young, Attorney General,
St. Paul, MINI.
Does chapter 229, laws nineteen
seven, disqualify representative who
voted for increase in salary from
serving in next legislature under
constitution, article 4, section 9.
Answer quick.
j. J. Opsahi, Remidji, MIMI"
The following answer was received
from Mr.. Young this afternoon:
st. Paul, MINI.
J. J. Opsahl, Bemidji.
Passage of salary law did not in
my opinion make any member of the
legislature ineligible to reelection.
E. T. Young, Atty. Gen."
1t will be noticed that. in the above
telegram, MIR. Young carefully avoids
stating whether the legislator under
Edieeueeionwould be eligible TO SERVE
if reelected. He simply states thai
IN HIS OPINION, the member Of the
last legislature is not ineligible TO RE.
ELECTION.
The attorney general of this state
has been known to err quite seriously
in his opinions. In fact, he has
already been in contempt of the
supreme court of the United States for
mistakes in his legal conclusions,
to-wit: the railroad rate cases, in
which the state lost out.
As before stated, there is an element
of doubt, and voters should be on the
right side in casting their ballots for a
representative from Bettrami county.
A vote for Henry Funk|ey will be
followed by no entanglements in thi:
direction.

Crookston Daily Journal raised the

HE HTS A ROCK.

Joe Lukin, Tempe's poet laureate, has discontinued the writing of poetry for the time being and is devoting his time to nursing a sore head. With a party of boys Joe was swimming in tAS river Friday afternoon. Joe made a high dive and miscalculating the depth of the water, ran his head against a sharp rock with no little force. The sudden contact split his scalp for a distance of several inches and it required half a dozen stitches to close the wound. Serious results were feared for a time but at present there seems to be every indication of JOes rapid recovery.
