EXPECT TO GAIN BY
TAFT-;F0RAKER FEUD
Democrats Closely Watching
| Events in Ohio.

Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-According
to Democratic leaders who have been
to Fairview and conferred with MI.
Bryan the ability of the Democratic
party to secure the negro vote in Ohio
will depend largely upon the attitude
of Senator Foraker. So long as he re-
mains outside the Republican breast
works, at least as regards Judge Taft,
the Democrats feel assured of large
negro support in that state. Holding,
as they do, the balance of political
power, there being something like
$4,000 of them, the negroes in the
Ohio campaign will be a most impor-
tant factor. Should, however, Sen
ator Foraker become reconciled and
lend his support to Taft it is conceded
that there is little probability of en-
rolling a sufficient number of negro
voters in the cause of Democracy to
materially affect the result. Former
Attorney General Frank S. Monet of
Columbus and E. H. Moore of Youngs-
town, who was chairman of the last
Democratic state convention in Ohio,
are speeding home after conference
with MIR. Bryan with instructions to
size up the situation and take every
advantage of the Foraker-Taft feud.

Madison, Wis, July 21-William F.
Villas, former United States senator
and member of President Cleveland's
cabinet, suffered a hemorrhage of the
brain and his condition is said to be
serious. Mr.. Villas condition was
considered so serious that relatives
in Milwaukee were notified to come at
once. Mr.. Villas was stricken about 5
in the morning, some time before his
usual time for arising. Physicians
were summoned at once and after a
thorough examination of his condition
suggested that the members of his
family and close relatives be sum-
moned to his side.
Mr.. Villas is in the neighborhood of
seventy years old and has lived a re-
tired life for several years past.

EX!LES ENDORSE STORY.
Guatemaian President Contributed to
Republican Campaign Fund.


Mexico City, July 21.-"Emigra.
does" and political exiles from the re-.
publics of Guatemala and Salvador,
who for some time have taken up an
enforced residence in this capital, are
unit in declaring that DR.. Herman
Prove told the truth regarding Pres
ident Estrada Cabrera's (Guatemala)
contribution to the Republican cam
paign fund of 1904. More than a
dozen Of them, have been interviewed
and most of them expressed surprise
when it was said that DR.. Proves
statement was doubted. They declare
that the payment Of the money to the
American minister was more or less
of an open secret and whether the
Republican campaign manager or the
officers of the present administration
know anything of the matter or not
Estrada Cabrera does not forget, for
the promised support from the United
States did not come. This, they
claim, was demonstrated in the past
fortnight by the presence of the Unit
ed States cruiser Albany at the Pa
cific Honduran port of Amapala and
Of the gunboat Marietta at the Allan
tic port of Puerto Cortez. The emf
gradoes, who meet here at frequent
intervals, claim to have received adj
vices from what they characterize as
an authoritative source to the effect
that Cabrera, after inveigling to his
support President Figueroa, started
the revolution in Honduras for the
purpose of drawing President Zelaya
into the conflict and then overthrow
ing both he and Davila.

An Education That Paws.

The young man or young
woman who starts up in life
depending upon luck or good
fortune for the development of
opportunities makes the work of
life mere matter of chance and
does not deserve success. An ideal
business school, such as is now
promised to Bemidji, thoroughly
trains young people to properly and
successfully perform the work re-
quired in business life.
Mr.. A. E. Stossmeister has been a
business educator for twenty years,
and his pupils are in positions of
responsibility in twenty states. If
we have any Micawbers in Bemidji
who are waiting for something to
turn up," they ought to know that a
business education is essential to
whatever vocation they may select
as their life work. We need hewers
of wood and drawers of water in the
world, but it does not follow that
Bemidji should furnish them all.
So likewise do we need private
soldiers in the army as we'll as officers
but we would like to see a fair
sprinkling of shoulder straps rather
than chevoons decorating the future
business men who start from Bemid il.
The phenomenal growth and
standing of the school of business
have not been attained by accident.
Business men and employers have
been quick to appreciate the marked
superiority of the work of young
men and women who have the
technical knowledge of business,
together with adequate appreciation
OF It's requirements and uSageS.
Those who have succeeded in
business without preparation are the
small salvage from a multitude of
wrecks, and these are the very men
who now most strongly advise the
beginner not to hug the unreasonable
hope that he may win without
knowledge.
We want a good business College
here. 1t may develop into the
much-desired business and normal
college if we give it prompt encour-
agement. For your own benefit,
young men and young women, get
your name on the college register
and boost greater Bemidji. DO 1T
NOW. A communication to the
Manager Bemidji Business College,
will bring needed information.

.BRY AN ASKS FOR
CON RIbuTIONS
Wants Democratic Newspa-
pers to Collect Funds.
MASSES SHOULD RESPOND

til They Take Upon Themselves the
Burden Of Supplying the Slnews of
War-Expects to Secure Largest
Fund Democrats Ever Had.
Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-William j.
Bryan again occupied himself with the
subject Of campaign contributions and
issued a statement appealing to the
Democratic newspapers of the country
to begin the collection of fund from
their subscribers. He believes that
this year the Democrats will receive
a larger campaign fund than ever be-
fore and that the money necessary
will come from the masses.
The statement was called forth by
the receipt of kilograms from the
Oklahoman of Oklahoma City and the
News Scimitar of Memphis announc-
ing that they had started dollar sub
scriptions. Mr.. Bryan expressed him.
self as very much gratifed at this
evidence of support. His statement
follows:
81 wish every Democratic paper
would begin the collection of a fund
from it's subscribers. There are very
few Democrats who could not afford
to make small contribution and the
people will never be able to control
the government until they take on
themselves the burden of supplying
campaign funds. AS long as a few
men furnish the money to finance a
campaign these men will exert an un-
due influence upon the government.
ut seems that we have reached the
end of corporate contributions and
this is step in advance, but the in
dividuals who control these favor
seeking corporations may still dom
mate politics by furnishing the sinews
of war. The Democratic party has
struck blow at this system by limit
ing contributions to $4,000 and pro-
viding for publicity before election.
"The Republican party has so far
refused to join with us on this propo-
sition, but public sentiment may yet
compel it to do so. I have no doubt
that the Democratic party will receive
contributions from more individuals
than ever contributed to any cam
paign and there is no reason why the
entire sum necessary should not be
supplied by contributions from the
masses. If every Democratic paper
will take the matter up and lend a
helping hand we will soon have money
enough in the treasury to provide for
legitimate campaign work and that is
all we want" ,,
