BRYAN TO TAMMANY.
'.Back to the People" He Suggests
As a Motto.

New York, July 4.-Letters from
William j. Bryan and Governor John
son, of Minnesota, were read at Tam
many halls celebration of the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence today. After expressing regret
at their inability to be there each urged
the organization to do all in its power
to continue the fight for equal rights
against special privileges
The letters follow:
Lincoln, Neb., June %, 1908.
Mr.. Daniel F. Cohalan, chairman
Fourth of July committee. Tam
many society, New York:
Ny Dear Sir: I am in receipt of
your committees invitation to partici-
pate in Tammany's annual celebration
of the nations birthday. L regret en-
gagements' that already made to dele
gates en- route to the Denver con-
vention will prevent my acceptance. l
trust your meeting may not only
stimulate those present to renew de-
votion to the fundamental principles
of free government, but to an active
effort to apply these principles to the
problems which confront this genera
ton. Our forefathers secured for the
colonies an opportunity to exercise the
rights of self government and we are
now enjoying the fruits of their
efforts. A monarch no longer menaces
us; no foreign foe threatens our in
dependence. But we have dangers to
meet which call for intelligence, cour-
age and patriotism. Privilege has
usurped the throne and its exactfons
are greater than those formerly re-
quired to support a royal family
favoritism asserts a divine right to
rule and resents any interference with
it's prerogatives. Our task is scarcely
less important than that which con-
fronted our ancestors for the
despotism Of plutocracy may become
as cruel as the despotism of a king.
Back to the people" may well be
the motto of those who believe, with
Lincoln, that a government of the
people, by the people ana for the peo-
pie should not perish from the earth
and with Jefferson that such a govern
ment should be and that such a gov
ernment should be administered ac-
cording to the maximum equal rights
to all and all special privileges to
none. Very truly yours,
w. ]. BRYAN.

Six Year Old Child Is Seriously

Greatest Scenes in Country.
Three cheers for the fighting mayor
were given as Mr.. Johnson appeared
YOU" he said, "are witnessing at
this time one of the greatest scenes
the country has ever gone through.
Here, (turnihg to Mr.. Bryan) is the
man who received the almost unani-
nous nomination of the people. 1t is
men like Guffy who have betrayed the
Democratic party and will betray it
again. We have got to drive them
out. We're not going to gain votes by
trying to placate the men who want
to make the Democratic party so near
like the Republican party that no
matter who wins, you lose. 1 was
glad to hear Mr.. Bryan say what he
did about people of the states control
ling their own politics and settling
their own fights. We can settle our
own fights. But 1 was glad to hear
him refer to Guffy as he did. 1t is the
first time 1 ever heard him depart
from his rule of silence on such a
subject" :"

Mahara' S mastodon MINISTRIES, with
their splendid concert band and fine
bunch Of colored folks, gave an
elegant performance in the opera
house last evening before large
and appreciative audience.
During the day the splendid
Mahara Minstrel band, under the
leadership of Quail Clark, appeared
on the streets and captured every
body with their excellent music.
They have a high grade of music
and there are several solos of merit
in the band.
The minstrel performance in the
opera house was very much better
than the average entertainments
given by the travelling minstrel
troupes who make Bemidji. The en-
se1nble singing was of a very high
order.
There are nine ladies in the bunch

volume and strength and his singing

Special Grand Jury at Grand Rapids.

Grand Rapids, June 19.-( Special
to Pioneer. The first special grand
i jury ever summoned in Itascs
county began its sessions yesterda,
morning. The jurors were all O
them brought in under a specia
order made by Judge McClenaban
in view Of the developments which
occurred yesterday in the case Of
State VS. Boindich.
1t appeared during the examina
ton of jurors and after four men
had been sworn on the case that the
Indictment which had been returned,
charged the commission of the
offence as having taken place on
September, 1908. This presented
so serious a question that County
Attorney Thwing Reluctantly came
to the conclusion that the indictment
was defective, and so this morning
dismissed the case.
Biondich will probably be rein
dicted as soon as the witnesses can
be heard by the grand jury. He
has friends who are assisting him and
the case will Be stubbornly contest
ed.
Peculiar interest has been aroused
over the prosecution, by reason of
the fact that the alleged crime took
place at Nashwauk about the time
of the miners strike last summer.
The defendant was charged with
arson in having set fire to boarding
house occupied by some of the men
working at the La Rue or Hawkins
mine. The witnesses include some
Of the mining company officials
The latter have been anxious, it is
understood, to have the case against
Biondich, pushed as hard as circun-

Taft on First Ballot.

Chicago, June 18.-(Special to
Pioneer. )-William H. Taft of Chi
cago was nominated for president
of the United States on first ballot
by a vote of 7O2.

large vote he received at the conven-
ton assures him of loyal support

stances permitted.

Under the law Biondich is entitled
to five days for preparation of his
defence and in the event that he is
reindicted, will probably claim this
time. It is feared that this will pro-
badly delay the work of the term
somewhat, as at the present time
there is no other criminal case
ready for trial. The witnesses in
the Biondich case will Aprobob'y be
held until the case IS reached on the
calender; if another Indictment is
returned.
