Planks From the Platform.

Much has been said regarding the
Socialists attitude toward high IL
cense and the liquor problem. Now
we do not know, or assume to know
what the developments in the near
future may bring in regards to the
sale of liquors in our city and state.
We realize that the abuses coming
from the sale Of intoxicating liquor
in Bemidji are more numerous than
they should be.
1--WE recognize property rights and
the rights of individuals with the
city's duty toward them, but, second
to nothing can be the welfare and
safety of the people and the future
prosperity of our city.

for selling Intoxicating liquor is the
next step to be taken and to that
end we pledge our candidates.

What Their Plan Provides.

Explaining this point the Social
lists say:
The date on this resignation is
left blank and can be filled in any
time after election. If the elected
official proves to be crooked; if he
refuses to work for and try to carry
out the principles and program OF
his party, or for any other reason is
considered a traitor, the party or
ganization having jurisdiction over
him simply votes to present his resig-
nation to the proper officials and he
is recalled from office. A new elec-
ton is held and another man more
worthy takes his place.
The suggestion Of an election, to
fill such a vacancy could be carried
out so far as expressing the voice OF
the Socialists is concerned but the
power of filing a vacancy rests en-
tirely with the council.
The Socialist platform contains the
following:

 Much as a few would have it other wise, il is a fact that the only way the regular nominee of the republican party can be defeated is by his home people turning him down cold. and refusing to vote for him. Telegrams from every portion of the territory state the Nome candidate will win in a walk if he has the support of his home division. If this be true the outcome of the delegate election, can go no other way than as we have inti- mated. or predicted in this article.

: WHAT FASHION DEGREES. s


There seems to be no deviation from
the straight, slender lines in dress.
The necklaces and pendants show
increased length and are lacy in effect.
A new style in the evening slipper is
the extremely high pointed tongue of
kid.
The rage for brilliant oriental color
ing is expressed in the evening dresses.
A touch OF brilliant color, such as
royal purple, one OF the new shades Of
blue, or American beauty red, enlivens
many of the winter combinations of
white and black.
Some of the coats are slightly dou-
bic breasted at the waistline and have
only two buttons to keep them in
place. While they open far down over
the figure, they do not give that ap-
pearance, because they have immense
double revers of sailor collars that lap
over the bust
