SOME POLITICAL HISTORY
Roosevelt's Triumph and Parker's De-
feat in Campaign of 1904.
HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED
Convention PreIiminaries and Actual
WOrk-SIx Tickets In the Field
The Campaign and
" the Result.

As an example of the political game well
played by party managers, the republican
national convention held at Chicago, June
21-2S, 1904 is unequaed. There was a nota-
BILE lack of enthusiasm The program had
been arranged weeks before and was car
ried out just as arranged. The con-
ventlon lasted three days holding its
decorous, harmonious and therefore I'M
thrilling meetings in the coliseum building
on Wabash avenue. The business might
have been finished in twelve hours, but
the local committee was under contract
TO keep the 1874 delegates spending money
Or half week at least and the national
committee, remembering the large sum of
money that had been subscribed by Chi
cago business men, helped the game along
80 that the hotels and restaurants could
! profit by the assembling of the convention.
From start to finish. the convention was
dominated by the personality and wishes
OF Theodore Roosevelt, its unopposed can
ddate for the presidency. That he would
be the unanimous choice Of the convention
was recognized weeks before 1t met. There
were, to be sure, Inducements of strife
and controversy among the political leaders
of his party, many of whom had no great
love for the masterful, dominating man
whom fate had placed in the presidential
chair as successor to Mckinley. 1t was
not unmixed admiration for his prowess
that had led the two bosses" Plat and
Quay, to inject the rough rider into ma
ANonal prominence by forcing upon him
Me vice-presidential nomination in 1850,
Plat had wished TO rid the New York
machine Of a too strenuous reformor. An
assassin's bullet lifted the man whom the
presidential nomination was designer
to obscure into the highest office In the
land. His administration of that office
did not change the opinion Of those who
had disapproved OF him as governor of
New York,
Professional politicians, long regarded as
leaders in the party, had well considered
schemes by which they hoped to rid them
selves Of Roosevelt's leadership. This
element OF the party did not exert itself
10 quiet the fear OF the president as a
dlstufrer OF the business confidence OF the
country. 1t rather hoped that appre-
heasion as to his personal rashness and
attitude toward the corporations would
wHsNen his chances for the presidential
nonRlnation which he desired.
But the rank and file of the party were
30 evidently in sympathy with him that
the element which would gladly have vel
coined different candidate had to Yield.
The organization managed by adopts in
party politics could not but realize the
pptility OF any resistance and the con-
. Vention offered an unsurpassed example
OF smooth, frietionless response to the
orders OF the machine.

The N-RnY Eve.

An amateur magician in a Beacon street
house, Boston, was going through his
tricks while maid passed in and out with
refreshments.
The magician was reading letters placed
under rug as the maid brought in a tray
OF lemon ices.
What letter Is ths?" a spectator asked.
That is b." the magician answered
and, sure enough, his answer was correct.
The maid looked with astonishment al
the letter, which had ben hidden under
the thick rug. She turned her gaze on the
handsome young magician who had read IT,
Then, setting down her tray OF ices, she
hid her rosy face in her hands and ran
out OF the room
What's the good o. me clothes?" she
cried.-Boston Herald.

BENEFIT TAG DAY FOR THE
ST. ANTHONY'S HOSPITAL
Tomorrow Every Man. Woman, and Child Can Help Along
Worthy, Charitable Cause by Wearing A st. Anthony
49, Hospital Tag...Pay What You Want.

In the fall of 1899, Rev. Mother
Scholestica of the St. Benedict
Sisters of Duluth, with two other
venerable sisters, came to Bemidji,:
and with the assistance of Mrs.
Mary Gadloise, founded the st.
Anthony's Hospital. This hap
pened in the youthful years of Be-
midi, when only one store, a very
small postofice and six little
homes graced our now booming
city. AS Bemidji grew, so did ST..
Anthony's Hospital. e.s.. :
The hospital was first located on
the second floor of the now Charles
Nangle grocery store, where the
first winter was spent. In the
following spring the Sisters moved
to the present location, on Dewey
avenue and L AXE Boulevard, where
they spent their first summer in a
little cottage. .~. :s
During the first year of the St.
Anthony's existence, seventy pa
tients were accommodated. Among
these were twenty-one charity
patients and one death.
In the fall of 1904 Ven. ST..
Benedict came to Bemidji to take
charge of St. Anthony's hospital.
Everybody learned to know this
venerable sister only to love and
venerate her. In her charge and
management the hospital has grown
too5small to accommodate its patients
and many who have seeked medical
care and nursing have been turned
away for want of room. These
past winters the hospital has always
been overcrowded, not only all the
private rooms and wards, but also
the halls were filled and crowded
with sick and wounded.
The orders of Sisters of St..
Benedict has been a God send to
northern Minnesota. We all know
how much good they have done
and still do; how often it is for one near
and dear to US that these yelled
messengers of God are lending a
helping hand, or are even staying
the cold hand of death, or are giving
to- the poor, wounded or sick miner
and lumberman, every care and at
tention to ease their suffering.
During the past year there were
1446 patients accommodated at St.
Anthony's hospital. Of these

Two weeks ago and a week ago
special offers were announced which
were received with so much en-
thusiasm and favor by the con-
testants that it was decided by
the management of the Pioneer to
make another offer on an entirely
different plan than any before made.
The best that has or will be made
during the Pioneers Mammoth Con-
test.Till Saturday night, April 10th, at
1880 Double Votes will be issued
on all new subscriptions to the
Daily and Weekly Pioneer. This
is the Gaping climax of all the
offers that have BEEN made or will
be made.
Nothing Better Coming.
Candidates in this contest should
not hold back any subscriptions
excepting something better in the
vote line, or in any way or other
additional prizes, as nothing better
will be offered. Now is the best
time to turn in every available sub.
scription. Don't wait, for you may
wait too long.
This offer will also afford an
opportunity to the present leaders to
accumulate a larger reserve. The
plan is fair aad square to one and all.
and will undoubtedly evoke added
interest to the already much talked
of contest. Start out after subscrip-
tions the first thing Monday morn
ing. You should have very little
difficulty in interesting your friends
in this proposition Tell them what
you want and ask them to help you
with their subscriptions. Make it
plain to them that if they are going
to help you, now is the time to do it.
Explain that you will get double the
amount of votes this week that you
otherwise would.
The Best of All.

thirty.one were charity patients,
which would amount to $3.50 in cash;
545 operative cases, Of which five
died; 901 medical cases, Of which
sixteen died, to the amount of
1868, which still remains unpaid.
; From these figures we can all
readily see that there is still much
wanting. Now, after many urgent
solicitations on the part Of the good
people of Bemidji, the Sisters have
decided to erect an addition to their
hospital, in order to be able to carry
on more efficiently the hospital work
which the city of Bemidji requires.
Work on the new addition has
already been commenced and before
the snow of next winter nantes the
roof-tops of our homes the new St.
Anthony's, Hospital will be com,
plete aud stand as a monument of
true Christian charity.
As already stated in the Pioneer,
we have proposed to make next
Tuesday, April II, Tag-Day in
Bemidji and surrounding towns for
the benefit of St. Anthony's Hos
.pital, and we therefore appeal to
the generosity and good will Of
the citizens of Benidji and neigh
boring towns and beg Of them to
give US a helping hand in our
undertaking. Seven popular wo-
men of this city and their helpers
will assist in the sale of tags on
Tuesday, April II, from 8 O'Clock
a. m. to 8 p. m. ... T.. j. -.
The tags will be sold as low as
1oc each and the .denator may
give as much as he chooses, up
wards to a$1oo,@ or more. Let
every man, woman and child wear

next Tuesday. ~%.~.
