HEAVY POLITICAL GUNS
WILL BE PUT INTO ACTION
Governor johnson Delivers Keynote Speech Montvedio
Tonight jacobson, Republican Nominee Spoke To.
day at Clarksfield.-The Fight Is on.

(By Mary D. Mc11adden, in Du-
luth News Tribune.)
General Apathy has command of
the political situation in Minnesota,
now that the primary election is
past.
Governor Johnson's speech to be
delivered tonight at Montevideo has
already been prepared for the press
and his keynote" utterances will
be we'll before the public, morning
paper willing, on Tuesday at break
fast. The governors action meets
with the approval of the Democratic
state central committee and adds to
the convenience of the people who
write for the papers.
Jacob F. Jacobson, republican
candidate for governor, will open the
battle with speech at Clarksfeld,
on Tuesday night. He has pre-
pared no advance copy. He says
he will have lot of things to say
that will not appear in the Clark
field speech. 1t can't be regarded,
therefore, as altogether keynote"
talk. The Republican state central
committee may send stenographer
down, according to the guess of the
county chairman in the St. Paul
Dispatch. That seems to be the
only hope of getting full report of
the candidates first campaign utter
ance.
Meanwhile very little interest is
being manifested.
Mr.. jacobson has been inspiring
the candidates and their friends.
His talk before the candidates
meeting at St. Paul the other day,
was stirring and confident. St.
Paul and Minneapolis committees
heard Mr.. Jacobson on the same
night-Friday-and were enthused.
The coming visit to the state of
the Republican presidential candi-
date is awaited with interest by
active workers in both parties.
The legislature will ensounter sew
eral snags this winter and the next
governor will walk over places that

THE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
GAVE EXCELLENT SUPPER
About $40 Realized From the Supper
'1< for the Use of the Football
Team.

Where would high school foot-
ball team be without the girls to
encourage them and provide the
wherewithal" to pay the expenses
of the games? Nowhere! 1t would
simply be clear out of it.
The girls of the Bemidji High
School Athletic association are loyal
to their football team and do not
intend to let the association run into
debt. For several days the girls
had been soliciting various good
things to eat from the ladies of the
city, and Saturday evening saw the
result of their ]abors, when the pub
lie was served with an excellent
supper for twenty-five cents per
plate.
The association girls served sup
per to 185 people, realizing $46.25.
There was some expense but they
made profit of about $40 for the
benefit of the football team. This
money will be used to pay the expen-
ses of some of the visiting football
teams this fall.
The supper was certainly success
in every way and the girls desire to
extend their heartiest thanks to
those who helped to provide for the
supper or aided them in any way,
especially to w. ]. Markham of this
city, who donated the use of the hall
for the evening.

are strewn with political banana peel
ings. The primary law, for instance,
is due to be discussed pro and con-
mostly con-and an effort will be
made to find out what remedy to
apply for just what's the matter with
it. County option will cut big fig
ure and the personnel of the coming
legislature is warrant for some par
ticularly interesting conjectures.
The legislature, Judging from candi-
dates, however, is likely to be con-
sentative on this proposition. Then
taxes northern Minnesota has done
we'll to select strong men for nomi-
nation in the house, for their efforts
will be needed in a battle for fair
play. Demagogy will be rampant.
And there are other things to be
considered.
House organization has come in
for an amount of discussion since
the primaries.
Cal E. Stone, the well-known rail-
road man and candidate for the
the legislature from St. Paul dis
trict, is being discussed as a candi-
date for speaker. Mr.. Stone has
yet to serve his maiden term in
the house, but his capacity and
dignity are beyond question. His
chances are taken somewhat SER
iously in St. Paul. w. A. Nolan of
Grand Meadow is prominently
mentioned, as is R. ]. Wells of
Breckenridge, A. J. Rockne of Zum-
brota, former Speaker, L. J. Johnson
of Minneapolis, Lewis c. Spooner of
Minneapolis, DR.. ]. A. Gates of
Kenyon and w. D. Washburn, Jr.,
of Minneapolis. The contest for
speakership will be keen and DR..
Gates, who is a1county option man,
may not be as strong, in view of
general results, as it was supposed
he would be.
Archie Vernon, St. Paul news
paper man; and Adolph Johnson of
Minneapolis are candidates for chief
clerk. A geographical outlook on
the candidates will suggest various
| interesting possible combinations.

Fancy Work for Nerves.

There is an epidemic of fancy work
over the land. Women who vowed
they would never embroider or Gro.
Chef are doing both.
Every one does fancy work. You
see women knitting cravats ON the
train, and at informal dinners it is
done between courses or at coffee
time.
The doctors say that fancy work.
quietly done, is an excellent remedy
for nervousness. They claim that the
busy woman who is rushed through
the day hours should learn to pick up
fancy work at night and keep at it
while she is talking.
The slow definite preciseness of it
is soothing. 1t keeps the mind from
thinking and the thoughts from run
