some of the very best men in their
respective lines in the state.
The meetings are to be held under

agent, who will speak on 'Immigra-

immigration agent because of his
universal qualification to forward
the interests of the state by recent
act of the legislature. Mr.. WEIGH is
splendid speaker and being a
farmer and business man of long
experience will undoubtedly give

The Bemidji team will line up as
follows:
Roy c, Emerson p, Riddel lib,
Bush 2b, Freeman or L. Carlton 3b'
Beale IS, Petrie #, Baumgartner If.
Emerson is in good condition and
will probably let OUT considerably
during tomorrow's game. Louie
Roy never felt better, and will have
his batting eye with him tomorrow;
and the remainder of the boys will
all give good accounts of themselves.
The close, exciting game of last
Sunday has whetted the appetites of
the local fans for more ball.

P. ]. Russell of Bemidjl was elected
temporary secretary, which temper
airy organization was made perma-
nent.
Chairman johnson appointed w.
R. TAFT, A. P. Richie, Martin Gal
chutt and James Wynne as COM
mittee on credentials.
It was decided to wait until the
arrival of the Red Lake train before
receiving the report of the credential
committee.
l.. G. Pendergast was present from
st. Paul and was called upon for a
few remarks.
Mr.. Pendergast began by assuring
those present that he had not been
sent up to Bemidji by any interests
at the capitol; that he came of his
own free will; and he wanted it dis
tinctly understood that he was a
party to no political deal. No one
disputed his democracy. He be-
lieved IN the principles of the demo-
cratic party.
The speaker said that there were
two or three of the best men in
the United States who were candi-
dates for the presidency, but THAT
Minnesota should endorse Governor
Johnson, although he believed that
Bryan would receive the nomination
at the Denver convention, and all
democrats should vote for the man
nominated at Denver.
He believed that the republicans
were getting the democrats into a
fight. He did not want to see a
fight, but believed as stated before
that the delegates should endorse
Johnson. If Bryan delegation
was sent to St. Paul, the governor
would think that the county was
against him. He believed in giving
Governor Johnson the first vote, and
if the governor could not be elected
to vote for some other candidate
afterwards, Loyalty supporting who
ever was nominated.

Secretary Taft as injunction" Taft,

suited in the selection of delegates
instructed to vote as a unit, the con-
vention also adopting strong reso-
lutions favorable to Governor John
A. Johnson as the democratic candi-
date for president.
The convention was we'll attended,
there being a full quota of delegates
from the city of ~Bemidji together
with several outside precincts being
represented, which, considering the
fact that the convention was also
for the purpose of, selecting dele
gates, was considered an excellent
showing.
P. ]. Russell, secretary of the
democratic county committee, called
the convention to order and read
the official call as had been printed.
Mr.. Russell said that, as it had
been customary to allow any person
protesting democratic principles to
participate in the convention from
the precinct where he resided to
represent his district, in case no
duly-elected delegate was present.
L. F. Johnson of Bemidji was
unanimously chosen as tempory
chairman of the convention, and
