Says, That Party in Power Per
mitted Timber to Be Taken
Unjustly.
GOOD YEAR FOR DEMOCRATS
Says, Political Lines are Shattered
and Republican Fences Are
=
Torn Down."

Charles M. Andrist, candidate for
the nomination of governor on the
Democratic ticket, was guest at the
commercial club rooms last evening"
having been escorted there by Attor-
ney T: j. Russell for the purpose of
meeting with the business men of
this city. AS it was not known that
Mr.. Andrist was coming until shortly
before his arrival, the business men
were not sufficiently notified to war
rant large turnout. He discussed
politics freely. r..
when l stood on the iron range
and saw steam shovel taking out
i've tons of Minnesota ore at dip,
it made my blood boil to think that
the state of Minnesota does not re-
ceiVe on cent for that ore beyond the
wages that go to the laborers, while
the rich capitalists of the east take
the profit. What will be left to the
state in few years? The timber is
already out of reach. If am elected
governor, will have the titles to the
Minnesota ore lands Investigated by
the state legal department. We must
save some of that, great natural as
set.' ..--.
Said Charles M. Andrist in an in
terview last evening. Mr.. Andrist,
who is a professor of French in the
state university, is Democrat, and
is after the nomination for the gov
ernorship in opposition to P. M. Ring
dal of Crookston, Mr.. Andrist came
to Bemidji Friday afternoon after
having spent several days on the
range and left last night for Crook
ston to carry the fight into the en-
emy's country.
Mr.. .Andrist proved not only to be
a, good Democrat but a good cam
paigner. He scored the Republicans
for having been in control of state
affairs for so many years and yet al
lowing the timber to be taken un-
justly and often illegally and then
to allow the ore deposits (which are
the richest in the entire world to go
the same way-and all that some pea
nut politicians might make few dol
lars for themselves. I'd hate to have
to go where those men will some
day."
Commenting on the Republican sit
uation, Mr.. Andrist said, "It is
queer year. No one knows what is
going to happen and no candidate
knows where he is at. Political lines
are shattered and fences are down.
I believe that order will eventually
come out of. the chaos but at present,
all is 4 guess. I believe that the
Democrats have a good year before
them"

New Car Service Rules.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 31.-New rules
anpounced to be put into effect to-
morrow by the roads affiliated with
the American Railway Car associa-
tion are expected to remedy griev-
ance of long-standing in the railroad
world. Up to the present time all
railroads have been in the habit of
using foreign equipment to any part
of the country, providing it was re-
turned to the company within rea-
sonable length of time. Under this
method the smaller lines have had
the use of more cars than they actual
ly owned, while the larger roads
which owned the equipment have ex-
perienced car shortage, their ap-
peals for the return of their property
often going unheeded. The new rules
provide that all the foreign equip
ment must be returned to, the own
ers from the point of destination, and
not used by the railroad in whose
territory the equipment happens to be
to haul freight to points farther
away. Severe penalties are to be inn
posed on the companies violating the
agreement.

Service on Fargo-Surrey Cutoff.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 31.-The new
line of the Great Northern railway

Steel, Griggs, Foster, Eddy, Well,
Pierce, McHenry and Ward counties,
which contain about seven million
acres of agricultural land, about 80
per cent of which is under cultiva-
tion this year. The new line brings
tremendous area, which was form
erly from ten to twenty miles from
a railroad, within close hauling dis
tance of first class transportation ia
cilities.

ANOTHER ELECToR QUITS.
D. P. Barnes and H. H. Aaker Resign
as Taft Delegates.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 31.-An-
other Republican elector has resigned
from the ticket, making three out of
the five nominated in the March pri-
maries to quit the race because of
their opposition to William Howard
Taft as the Republican presidential
nominee. D. P. Barnes of Glen Ul-
len is the latest elector to quit the
electoral ticket. He will support
Roosevelt. -
The fifth elector from whom no de-
finite statement had been received up
to yesterday, stated that he very
probably would resign as an electoral
candidate. He is opposed to Presi-
dent Taft, he says, but he does not
believe that in resigning as an elec-
tor, he will affiliate with the new par
ty. .-.
~ Another important political devel-
opment of yesterday was the issuing
of statement by. II. R. Aaker Of
Fargo, who quit as a Republican lee
tor, to the effect that he is not can
didate for governor on the third state
ticket, even should such ticket be
decided upon.y a.. .... -: .:

St. Paul, Aug. 31.-(SpeciaD- i'm
"The Isle O. Dreams" which Chaun-
cey Olcott will present at the St. Paul
Metropolitan Opera House fair week,
Mrs. Rida Johnson Young has writ
ten romantic drama which stands
on it's own artistic merits, and she
has we'll fitted her dramatic garment
to the manly form of Mr.. Olcott. In
the new play Olcott seems to have
come into his own as an actor, and
he makes the most of every dramatic
possibility the playwright has given
him.
AS usual, Mr.. Olcott's play is SUI
perbly staged. AS young fisherman
of the west coast Of Ireland, who was
cast on the shore by the sea when
an infant, the hero, Ivor Kelway
(Mr. Olcott), has opportunity to wear
the picturesque apparel of the period,
and needless to say he looks a ro-
mantle picture. ~
With exceptional beauty, Miss
Edith Browning combines dramatic
talent of high order, and so adds
to the charm and interest of Mr.. Oh
colts play. Many persons who have
gone to their local playhouses year
after year to see Chauncey Olcott
and hear him sing, say his new songs
are the best he has ever written, and
the scenic environment is conceded
to be the most beautiful yet seen in
any of the Olcott plays.
A widely varied and attractive pro-
gram Of vaudeville novelties has been
selected for state fair visitors at the
Empress. The play house, which is
located on Wabasha street, near
Ninth, was built last year for the
Sullivan e Considine vaudeville cir
cult, and is the acme of the theater
builders art, absolutely fire proof and
perfect in every detail The Empress
has a large seating capacity, with
modern smoking and retiring rooms,
promenade and reception quarters
richly furnished, and puts on better
bills at less than half the price charg-
ed by the older house. The feature
of the bill fair week will be a pam
tomine and dancing pageant entitled
"La Dance Au Violins,' with an i'm
ported ballet, special scenic effects
and elaborate costumes. This is one
of the most expensive acts in vaude-
vile. Among other features will be
a new photo-play from the Empress
scope by the daylight method. The
balance of the bill will be of the
laughing quality.
