". Wisconsin City.
PEOPLE TO VOTE NEXT SPRING

Today petition is being circu-
lated in the city of Superior, Wis
consin among all the citizens of that
city in behalf of the adoption of the
Commission form of government
What Superior does today is of much
interest to the cities and town in
Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota
Bemidji has had the matter under
advisement for sometime, it having
been instigated by alderman Roe of
the third ward. -
Many of the most prominent men
in Superior are DESTROYS of the change
and are out hustling, securing signers
on the petition to endorse the new
movement.
This petition will show what the
voters think of the plan and if
favorable, the agitators will bring
the matter up before a general cleo
ton to be held next spring.
Bemidji still has some who have
been agitating this new movement
and the feeling seems to be growing
toward the desire Of bringing the
matter to vote of the people here.
