Question Resolved, That Women
Should Be Allowed to Vote" Won
By Negative.
POINTS WERE HOTLY ARGUED
Interesting Program Rendered By
Members of Literary Society At
Meeting Last Night.

Last evening in the high school
assembly room, the Literary Society
of the Bemidji High School met and
engaged in most interesting debate,
the question was, "Resolved, Women
should be allowed to vote.
The president, Fred Chamberlain,
called the meeting to order and the
society at once proceeded to the
transaction of the regular business.
Several candidates received member
ship and all outstanding bills were
allowed. Then the following pro-
gram was rendered.:
Piano Duet,-Gertrude Malone and
Maude McCawley.
Recitation. Walter Jones
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Fleishman and
Anna Hedman.
Solo,. ........ Fred Chamberlain
The debate, the principal event of
the evening, was then announced.
The debaters for the affirmative side
were: Minnie Huntosh, Marie Ca
hill and Edith Ryan. For the mega
tive were: Alfred Neuman, Maur-
ice Ryan and David Abbott. The
judges were Miss Reca Grazing, H.
M. Stanton and Ralph Oracle. -.
+ The principal points brought out
by the Affirmative were as follows:
Woman is fully as we'll educated as
voting. Woman suffrage will not
divide a house against itself. Since
taxation without representation is
tyranny, women who pay taxes
should have the right to vote in re-
gard how they shall be used Wo-
man, if she is allowed to vote will
clense politics. Women will not
mix in politics as much as men.
Abraham Lincoln, Clara Barton and
other prominent thinkers advocate
woman suffrage.
The negative side produced the
following arguments: The majority
of women, especially those of the bet
ter and more educated class, decline
to vote in those states where the
privilege is already theirs. In the
states where the suffrage has been
given to woman no laws of any bene-
fit or Importance have been passed
by the influence of woman. Woman
is more susceptible than man and is
therefore, not able to cleanse poll
tics. General Thompson, the Demo-
cratic manager of several campaigns
in Wyoming has said that wo-

.BEMIDJI TO HAVE
CRACKERJACk FACTORY
Girls of Methodist Church Will Sell
Popcorn and Proceeds Will Be
Used for New Building.
HOLD SALE EVERY SATURDAY
Sunday School Glass Of Seventeen
Members Will Act as Sales Com
o.. mittee. ..

Next Saturday, February H.,
seventeen of Bemidji's brightest
young ladies' who comprise Sun
day school class of the Methodist
church, under the instruction of Mrs.
J. w. Naugle, will cover the city of
Bemidji, carrying with them what is
known as the famous Methodist
crackerjack.
This crackerjack is delicious
wholesome popped popcorn, prepared
from a special recipe belonging to
Mrs. Naugle and for which the old
saying, "The more you eat the more
you want, holds doubly good. It
is put up in number one bags and
sold for five cents each.
The money taken in from the sale
of this crackerjack is to be placed
in a fund which will go toward the
building of the new Methodist
church, already under way. This
sale feature by the young ladies is
to take place each coming Saturday
and if the demand for this popular
| Methodist crackerjack proves as
great in Bemidji as it has in another
city where it was successfully work
ed out, the demand will far exceed
the possible output.
| Mrs. Naugle.s Sunday school class
is one of the largest IN the church
and consists of the following young
ladies: Olive Clark, Grace Cleve-
land, Edith Schmidt, Esther Funk
ley, Nellie Bowers, Lillian Erickson,
Louise Erickson, Margaret Brant,
Helen Horlocker, Mabel Gaines,
Gladys Loitved, Pearl Jackson, Cecil
Olson, Florence Bagley, Grace Kill
sela, Doris Helmer and Lilias Peter
son.
The present factory where this de-
licious CONNECTION is made is 609 Be-
midi. avenue. The superintendent
of this manufacturing plant is Mrs
J. W. Naugle and the sales depart
ment will be comprised of the above
mentioned ladies. They are genuine
credentialed salesladies and when
they call upon you Saturday show
them every kindness and courtesy
you would ask for yourself. Re-
member that they are not book
agents or peddlers and that they
should have at least a fair hearing
Have your nickle ready when they
call. It's a treat that is we'll worth
the price and the case is a worthy
one.

! Henry Rines of Mora, author of
the defeated County Option bill,
gives out the following prepared
statement:
"The friends of County Option are
we'll pleased with the outcome of the
contest upon the County Option bill
in the house yesterday. The debate
was conducted in gentlemenly and
orderly manner, and no personal
feelings were injected into the pro-
ceedings. Speaker Dunn's insist
ance that both sides be given a
square deal is to be commended The
j full County Option vote was recorded
! for the bill except Mr.. Fisher, who is
! ill., There were a few doubtful
i ones, some of whom we hope to win
over, but they were in no way
pledged to County Option. The vote
| shows gratifying gain over the
vote in the house two years ago,
when the bill polled fourty-four
votes.
An analysis of the vote discloses
that fofrty-six Republicans voted
for County Option and fourty-one
against, with one County Option Re
publican absent Every Democrat,
twenty-eight in number voted
against the bill. The vote en-
phasizes the fact that County Option
sentiment is confined largely to Re-
publican districts, and that the
future hope of County Optionists is
from the Republican party The
fight for County Option will be
carried on with renewed energy.
THE fact that a majority of the
Republicans of the present Legis-
| lature are committed to county
Option, indicate that a majority of
the Republican Party of this State

ton will adopt the County Option
