Squad That Closed AZ Saloons Now il
Bemidji Without Orders to Sup
press Sales
*tSPIDER" AGAIN IN TROUBLE
Held Under Bail toAwait Grand Jmv
Action on Charge of Shipping IN
Liquor.

With Pussyfoot" Johnson in Den
yer, 7. E. Brents in Kansas City
and the squad of agents who yester-
day and the day before closed forty
two saloons in towns north of here,
in Bemidji without orders except to
proceed to distant points, the alarm
which has put the saloonkeepers on
the anxious seat" is dying down.
None of the agents would venture
a guess as to when Bemidii would be
closed up, but all insisted that the
saloons must 60 soon.
The men who came in after hav-
ing closed all the towns on the Min
nesota & International in the re-
stricted district, were N. J. Sero. N.
A. Way, Davis and c.. C. Brannon.
Mr.. Brannon, who recently came
from Oklahoma, is a Methodist
minister and IS known as the fight
sink zpaTson," which title he gained
by his vigorous work to stop the
sale Of liquor to Indians in the west,
carrying a bible in one hand and
gun in the other. ..:.. T.

None of the agents cared to be
quoted but said that the action Of
the saloon men here in maintaining,
law abiding places. probably had
much to do with the Chiefs
meaning "Pussyfoot" Johnson at
titude in permitting the saloons here
to continue.
-Four more arrests have been
made during the past twenty.four
hours ON charges that dealers have
brought in liquor, three OF them
being from outside points.
The last arrests to be made was
that of Frank (Spider) Gagnon, who
was today arraigned before U. S.
Commissioner H. E. Simons. He
waived examination and was bound
over to await the. action of the
federal grand jury wnen it convenes
at Fergus Falls in May. All the
cases which have come up will be
dealt with by the May grand jury.
The towns closed north Of here
included Blackjack, Big Falls,
Margie, Kelliher, Houpt and all
other towns affected by the treaty
with the exception of Tenstrike
and Turtle River. --.s.a : ...-..
At none of the forty-two places
closed was there any resistance.
No liquor was destroyed. It was
all, including beer, packed for
shipment and is now on its way
to the wholesalers in the cities.
Two freight cars were necessary
to haul the beer.

Delegates to Brainerd Return and Tell
Of Triumphs Assured at Conven-
ton Just Closed.
RADICAL CHANGES IN SIGHT
Resolution Adopted Call for Doing
Away With State Boards-Reap-
portionment Certain.

Secretary Mackenzie of the Nor
thern Minnesota Development asso-
citation and the delegates who at
tended the convention of that asso-
citation in Brainerd, have returned
to Bemidji and are loud in the praise
of their meeting and the benefits to
be derived.
Mr.. Mackenzie, who goes to St.
Paul tomorrow to attend the Lake
States Forestry Conference, was in
clined 10 let the Brainerd gathering
speak for itself. All he would say
was:
THE meeting was an unqualified
success. Everybody went home feel
ing that a new era in the history
of the state had been inaugurated.
The city of Brainerd proved herself
aworthy hostess"
A. G.. Wedge, president of the Be-
midi Commercial club and a men,
Der of the credentials, committee, had
this to say: ] ~ -.
The Brainerd convention brought
together the best representation of
business interests in northern Min
nesota, Never has there been a
time when men from. over 80
counties have united to accomplish
definite results. The subjects dis.
cussed by the different speakers
we're practical and kindled enthu-
siasm and faith in the future of
Northern Minnesota.
Reapportioument, the slogan of
our northern counties was the absorb.
ing topic. The fight is not over but
with the hearty support of our bust
ness men the result should not be in
doubt"
w. L. Brooks, member of the f.
nance committe said:
eve cannot appreciate the:
value OF the Brainerd Convention
to Beltrami County and to Be-
mldji. The earnestness and sim
oerity of the Governor in his re.
marks about reapportionment and
his interest in our part of the state
were very valuable to us. Every
one should read carefully the re-
solutions adopted. Some of them
may seem radical, but they were
adopted only after bright, capable
men and given them careful
study"
Rev. Charles Flesher:
Such get together meetings as
the one at Brainerd can not help
but do good. The purposes were
worthy and Northern Minnesota
will benefit from it. 1 had such
good time that I want to go again.
On to Duluth, and a good word for
Mackenzie. The meeting was good
enough to present at least once from
the pulpit" ..
A. Kaiser of Bagley said:
Time only will reveal all the
benefits resulting from the Brainerd
meeting. 1t assures reapportion-
ment and many other permanent adj
vantages for the north country"
The development convention
adopted the following resolutions
on reapportionment:
whereas, the representation of
the Eorthern half of the state in the
state legislature is conceded to be
wholly inequitable and unjust in:
view of the rapid growth and popu.
lation of that part of the state, as
compared with other portions, and

trary both to the letter and spirit Of

under the protection of Thomas
Kneeland Of Minneapolis. Mr..
Kneeland is ostensibly Burnquist
man, but there IS reason to be-
lleve that Mr.. Spooner is receiving
encouragement at his hands. 1t is
thought, here, and was also so
stated at Brainerd, that Mr.. Spooner
cannot get a majority support from
Hennepin county. It is stated posi-,
lively. that w. D. Washburn Jr.
will not agree to an endorsement of
Spooner. AS Mr.. Washburn is the
leader of the Hennepln county dele
cation, his attitude on this matter
will be practically final. p.
The same thing is true of the
Eighth district so far as Mr.. Spooner
is concerned. He is decidedly
anxious to secure the support..!of C..
A. Congdon, whom he has branded
as the one man in the house best
fitted to be speaker. In spite of the
subtlety of this compliment Mr..
Congdon is 'agin' Mr.. Spooner and
will not consent to an endorsement
p =
for him. Mr.. Congdon is, the big
noise among the Eighth : district
people and as a fresult Spooner
stands very little show of getting
the solid support Of any district
aside from the Seventh and Ninth.
: It was said here, this morning,
that Mr.. Spooner would make no
announcement of his candidacy un-
til he has something more to show
than the two endorsements already
given him. In that case, say those
not particularly friendly to Mr..
Spooner, his announcement will
never be made. .-...z y
d ''Thatawill leave the Seventh free
TO endorse It's second choice, Mr..
Burnquist IF St. Paul and the Ninth
will either endorse Mr.. Burnqnist or
put the name Of Mr.. o'Neil in the

received the endorsement in the
Seventh, that he contemplated get
ting, be would today be recognized
IS the next speaker of the house. In
that case the Ninth would have en-
dorced him last Wednesday, and the
Sixth and Eighth would have come
out for him at Brainerd. " This, with
the Hennipenlcounty support, would
have cinched the matter. Mr.. Burn
quist evidently missed the chance
when his supporters failed to appear
at the Seventh district meeting.

ent importance in this conflict, H. H.

The Republican Platform

The platform adopted bv the re-
publicans at Sioux Falls is fairly
satisfactory to most of the parties of
this state. In view of the six dis
tinct factions in the party with
varying shades of opinion. from
ultra conservative to extreme ,iadi-
calls, it is a matter of surprise and
congratulation that anything could
be framed on which the party can
unite.
There were three chief points of
conflict-the Taft endorsement, Can

The domination of congress by
Cannon and Aldrich was condemned,
though their names were not men,
toned in the resolution. This was
not wholly satisfactory to the pro-
g~ressives. and an amendment was of
fered making strong specific con
demnation. This was defeated by
vote of 1886 to 248, because some of
the progressives thought the plat
resolution explicit and strong
enough without mentioning Cannon
and Aldrlch.

ly progressive tone and is fairly ac-
ceptable to all except the extreme
lists, as a party platform under the

platform committee rejected sever
al of them, he was unable to
get much consideration from the
convention.
The Taft endorsement was quaIif-
ed. 1t practically endorses his
administration for the legislation

cans. The tariff bill was second and
some of the Legislation questioned
