More municipal Mix"

Charles D. Fisk, clerk of the
municipal court of this city, served
a written demand this morning on
City Clerk Maloy for his Signature
on, and delivery of, the city warrants
for the salaries of the clerk and OF
the judge of the municipal court fol-
the month of October, which were
allowed last Monday evening at a
meeting of the city council.
The demand was addressed both
to City Clerk Maloy and to Mayor
Pogue, and stated that Mr.. Maloy
had before refused to sign the
warrants because he had been or
dered by the mayor not to sign OF
deliver them. Mr.. Fisk stated that
a similar demand will be served
upon Mayor ]. P. Pogue as soon as
he returns to the city. Mr.. Pogue
is absent from the city at the pres
ent time.
Mayor Pogue refused a month age
to sign the salary warrants of Judge
Bailey and of Clerk Fisk, of the
municipal court, and the attorney
for the latter two secured writ oil
mandamus compelling the mayor tc
sign the warrants. Mayor Pogue
did so after a hearing on the writ
and deposited the signed warrants
with the clerk of the district court
and then appealed the case to the
Supreme Court, where it is now
awaiting a decision.

Elks Elect New Secretary.

At the regular meeting of the
Bemidji Lodge, B. P. o. Elks, No.
1852, which was held last evening,
M. S. Gillette was elected secretary
to succeed Charles H. Rattinger,
who recently resigned as secretary
of the lodge and removed from this
city to Brainerd to make his home.
Mr.. Gillette, the new secretary,
recently moved to Bemidji from
Deer River, and is a splendid fel.
low, in every sense of the word. He
will undoubtedly make splendid
official for the antlered brethren.
Six members of the lodge were
appointed pallbearers to escort the
body OF Brother P. A. Walch at the
funeral which was held today.
The report of the secretary of the
lodge shows the order to be in a
splendid condition, financially.

JUDGE STANTON LEADS
IN JUDICIARY CONTEST
Continued from First Page

The Pioneer has spent consider
able time and money in an endeavor
to get the very latest returns on the
judgeship and in this we have been
fairly successful; and from these re-
turns, up to 4 o'clock this afternoon,
Judge Stanton leads by a majority
of 81 votes. =
In Beltrami county,52 out of so
precincts, give Judge Stanton the
very handsome majority of 921
votes, and it is believed the remain.
ing eight precincts will swell to an
even 1000.
In Itasca county, the entire vote
of the entire county with but two
ptecincts yet to hear from, gives
Wright a majority of 237.
In Crow Wing county Stanton
has majority of PIG, with three
precincts yet to hear from, which i,
is expected will not materially
change this result.
Aitkin county, with two precincts
yet to hear from, is giving Judge
Strnton 100 majority.
The official vote of Hubbard
county has not changed the result a:
announced yesterday. Mr.. Wright
is given a majority of 847 in hi:
home county.
Koochiching county, with ter
precincts yet to hear from, give:
Stanton majority of 1856. There
is no doubt but the remaining ter
precincts will swell the judges major
ity to at least 200.
The official vote in Clearwatel
county gives Wright 158 majorit,
IN that county.
Cass county, complete with the
exception of two precincts, give:
Wright a majority of 127.
These totals added give Stanton
1926 and Wright 1869, a majority
for 81.
The Pioneer believes that the re
mainder of the returns to be received
will be favorable to Judge Stanton
and swell the majority to at leas
100.

BRYAN HAS SMALL LEAD.
Maryland Now Appears to Have Conc
Democratic.

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-According to un-
official returns received by the Balti-
more News from every county in the
state and from Baltimore city Mary
land is again in the Bryan column by
g. very small plurality. The most
careful revision of the unofficial fig
ures was made, with the aid of re-
ports from every county and the
wards Of Baltimore city, and the re-
suit is to show that Bryan leads in
the vote by 210 votes.
The vote is so close, however, that
it is possible the complexion may
again be changed by the discovery OF
an ordinarily slight inaccuracy of a
ward or district
1t seems certain that the electoral
vote of the state will be divided and
the probabilities are that Bryan, in
the opinion of close political observ-
ers, will get majority Of the cleo
toral vote.

TWO STATES IN
DOUBTFUL LIST
Missouri and Maryland De-
cidedly Close.
TAFT MAY GET 3l9 VOTES

Missouri Seems Inclined Toward Taft
and Maryland. Toward Bryan, but
the Electoral Vote of the Latte,
May Be divided Between the Two
Candidates-West Virginia Firmly
in the Republican Column.
New York, Nov. 6.-With Missouri
and Maryland still wavering between
Taft and Bryan the situation seemed
to be that Maryland was inclining to-
ward Bryan and Missouri toward Taft
though the electoral vote of the for
mer state may be divided between the
two candidates. West Virginia has
been settled as belonging in the Re-
publican column. The trend of the
news makes it seem likely that Taft
will have 319 electoral votes and
Bryan 1854.
Indiana apparently has given the
Democrats a majority of eight on joint
ballot in the legislature, which would
assure the return of Democratic
United States senator in place of
Hemenway, a Republican. There is a
rumor that John w. Kern, the de-
feated candidate for vice president,
will be chosen. The state has elected
Marshall, Democrat, governor by a
plurality of about $4,000, while giving
Taft a margin of about 10000.
Colorado has apparently settled the
question definitely in favor of Bryan.
but the latter's plurality in that state
seems to be less than half of that for
Shafrcth, the Democratic candidate
for governor, ard the state legislature
will be safely Democratic.
West Virginia is evidently assured
to Taft. Dispatches indicate plural
ity of 10000 or better: but Glasscock,
Republican, for governor, will have
apparently less than half of that.
Reduced Majority in Congress.
The Republican majority in the ma
tional house of representatives has
been cut, but that party still will have
substantial control. Speaker Cannon
probably will be reelected. The Re-
publicans elected congressman in
Arkansas and have increased their

was not there. Since then, three
or four flights have been made

who, from all appearances, does
not weigh more than a hundred
pounds, and an army lieutenant,
went number of times around
a half mile area at an average
height of probably fifty feet.

there is apparently no scientific
or mechanical reason why his

endurance of the operator and
the quantity of fuel it could car.

not perfect, nor was the locomo-
tive perfect in a year or two af-
ter the first experiments with it.
The aeroplane has not yet been
tested for rough winds and rain.

ing launched from a kind of to-
boggan ihclined-plane to give it

ther be started nor stopped with
the nice precision that has been

the locomotive. Its commercial
value will, of course, depend
largely on improvements yet to
be made, but it is a long way
past the experimental stage and
it is not improbable that in five
or ten years men will be able to
travel in the air with speed and
no doubt companies will be form
ed to insure their lives.

BRYAN'S HOPES.

When Louis Bennett was nominated
by the state Democratic convention
of West Virginia, he endorsed a plat
form which:
"FaVOrs amending the constitution
so as to preserve the purity of the
ballot from evils resulting from con
ferring such powers and privileges
upon those who are unfit to appre-
ciate its Importance"
A Jim Crow" resolution was also
adopted and then con gratulatory
telegram from W. j. Bryan was read:
Il greatly appreciate the cordial in
dorsement given by your convention,
and share with you in the hope that
the hearty cooperation promised may
insure a Democratic victory in West
Virginia and the nation"

pect to obtain from the Democratic
party is the mercy the turkey gets in

An Argument For Farmers.

No matter how broad his acres, how
large his herds, how full his granaries,
how fat his bank account, no farmer
of sense would, singly or as an assoc
late, guarantee to an indefinite and
any possible amount the notes of all
other farmers in his county. For pros
perity, money and credit grow too
slowly and hard to even remotely JUS
tify the assumption of any such liza
bility. Friend Farmer, apply this to

history" some things will be ci-
ted here which are not ancient. |
There are sixty-six agricultural |
colleges in the country. These
originated in an act passed by
the Republican Congress in Lin
coins day, but the principal gain
in the number was made in the
past few years. There are agri-
cultural experiment stations in
many of the states, which are an
outgrowth of this Republican leg
islation. In 1902 President Roo
sevelt signed the national irriga-
tion act, which had been passed
by a Republican Congress, which
is effective throughout the whole
arid region of the country, and
which has already created homes
for thousands of persons.
Did Mr.. Bryan ever hear of
the rural free delivery of mail?
If not, somebody ought to tell
him about this at once. His own
State of Nebraska has a good
many miles of these free deliv-
cry routes, which have brought
the farmer into close communi.
cation with the world. This is
also Republican work, and every
intelligent farmer in the country
knows about it, even if Bryan is
ignorant of it. Through the De-
partment of Agriculture the gov
ernment spends great sums of
money every year for the benefit
of the farmers. Largely as a
consequence of the improvements
in methods of cultivation which
have originated in experiments
by the government the farmer is
less dependent than formerly on
the uncertainties of the weather,
and the average dimensions of
the crops have increased. AS a
result of all these Republican
aids to agriculture the aggregate
value of the farm products of the
United States for 1908 is SO, OOO,-
600, 600, as compared with ST.
600, 600, 900 in 1860, just before
the Republicans entered office.
While the country's population
has increased two and three
quarters times since 1860, the
country's farm products have
multiplied eight times. Here
are a few points which some far
mer ought to bring to Bryan's
attention. st. Louis Globe-Dem-

PUTS HIM IN BAD LIGHT
Harmon's straddling Statement Gives
Voters Bad Impression of
Candidate.

Candidate.
JudSOn HarmOn's attempt to side
Sep the liquor issue has not made
a decided hit. even among his own
party organs. The press of the state
has commented on his public letter to
the extent of columns of editorials,
and there is an almost unanimous
opinion that it put him in a worse
position with the thinking vo,crs Of
the state than before it was issued.
The impression is general that he at
tempted to "bunco" the voters. The
that the Democratic candidate was
not the candidate of the brewers, the
saloon keepers, the Personal Liberty
league or any other similar Organiza-
ton
In discussing this statement, the
Piqua Call says: Judge harmon may
be great man, but there never was
anything more disingenuous and COW
ardly than his proposition to ignore
the liquor question. Here we have
had Schwab and his Personal Liberty
league at work all summer fighting
Governor Harris and prOClaiming for
Harmon. Here we have had the
brewers and distillers doing the same
thing, yet Harmon says the question
isn't up. 1t has been burning issue
for % years and scarcely ever has
been at rest. 1t will likely continue to
be before the people for the next 20
years and most OF the time the issue
will be as hot as blaZes. A man is
LLo"n in politics by the kind of COM
pany he keeps. by the class of men
who support him and by the class Of
men who oppose him. The liberal
crowd has been supporting Harmon
ever since he was nominated and if he
would not stand up for their interests
now he would deceive them. Harmon
is cutting the shabbiest figure of any
body in this campaign. He Is the only
man who doesn't know what is hap
pening and where he Is at. We would
think more of him If he would draw
his sword and lead his red-nosed pa.
triots to battle"
