Helping the Farmers.

The Northern National Bank oil
Bemidji is helping the farmers OF
this vicinity in two practical ways
In the first place, the bank is dis
tributing free of charge, to any farm
er who will ask for it, the "The Prac-
tical Home Veterinarian" This is a
volume written by David Roberts Of
Waukesha, Wisconsin. In the second
place, the bank is acting as agent for
a travelling library of the, Minnesota
Free Public Library, commission.
The book is illustrated with cuts
of famous thoroughbreds and also
gives drawings of the manner in
which various operations are to be
performed on animals. 1t devotes
much space to the care of farm ami
mails and tells in clear style how a
farmer may improve his herds with
no additional cost. It will pay any
farmer to look this book over.
The travelling library should be in
demand during the long fall and win
ter evenings. It contains the latest
and best works on soils, dairying,
farm crops, farm structures, drain
age, etc. The books will be loaned
out free of charge as they are fur
nished by the state.

Boost the Auto Club.

The present membership of the au-
to club is twenty when it should
be fifty. The size of the membership
list is entirely out of accord with
the number of machines in Bemidji.
1t is doubtful if any club in the state
spends it's money better than does the
Bemidji club. Out of the five dol
lars paid in membership, fully sew
enty-five per cent is spent by the
club in repairing roads leading into
the city and placing signs for the
guidance of travellers. -. Il .
Necessarily the repairs that the
club can make are of temporary ma
ture, but root chopped out of the
road or hole filled in adds material
~ to the pleasure of motoring, and
incidentally makes the road much
better for the farmers. To person
not used to our roads, they are sim
ply paths in the wilderness, and the
signs being put up by the club are
badly needed.
If every auto owner in Bemidji will

Try a Hunger Strike.

Mrs. Mary Leigh and Miss Gladys
Evans, two suffragettes of Dublin,
we're some time ago sentenced to five
years penal servitude for trying to
burn the Theater Royal. It is now
reported that the ladies have declar-
ed hunger strike and are in danger
of starving. Prison officials are try
ing to feed them forcibly. It must
mean lot to those women to get the
ballot if they are willing to so tor
ture themselves.

ports that seem to be in circulat tion,
If 1 have been rightly informed. In
all Of my experience in politics did
not know that I was such a candi-
date fighter until now. It seems that
some one is trying to make it appear
that am against all other candidates.
from governor down. l wish to in
form the public that I am making no
fight on any candidate for any Office.

propose to fight them clean. It seems
that some one has conceived this to
be sharp political scheme to try to
carry all other candidates and their
friends against me.
Now the proposition that I wish to
make to every candidate and his
friends is that when you are ap-
preached by any one, making such
charges against me, that you ask
them to please go with you to me and
substantiate the same. l am on good
terms with all of the candidates and
hope to get their votes. will not

Of single vote. l propose making
my part of the race on a plane of
truthfulness and honesty. 1t is a
very sorry man that will not run on
his own merits and manhood, if he has
any. l regret to have to do this,
but it seems that l am compelled to
do something.

report: He argued that as the two
thirds rue, was true Jeffersonian
democratic doctrine ,and as without
the unit rule the twolthirds rule
would not be pSacticabis, the con-
vention should ma intain the unit rule
despite the populSs primary in con-
gressional districts. -"
Mr.. Covington's %nisument was
greeted by scattered applause.
Representative Henry said that the
minority report would in no way in
terfere with the operatio ion Of the unit
rule as it has obtained heretofore.
The Storm Breaks.
A few moments later Pack referred
to Governor Wilson of New Jersey,
and the name started a aemonstra-
ton.
"This," he said, "is the position
taken by the great progressive gov
ernor of New Jersey" and the storm
broke.
The New Jersey delegation began
the uproar. A dozen pictures of VIII
son appeared and, were scattered
through the hall. Senator John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi, who was on
the platform, swung his hat above his
head as he led cheers for Wilson. A
big white Texas banner, inscribed "4O
for Wilson" with Wilson lithograph
attached, appeared and an attempt
was made to start parade through
the aisles. 1t did not materialize.
From the galleries shower of
Wilson Autographs fell upon the
delegates. Galleries and floor joined
in the cheering, delegates and specta-
tors climbing upon chairs. In the
centre of the hall however, the big
block of New York delegates sat
calm and unmoved.
An enormous orange and black ban
ner over 30 feet long inscribed
"Staunton, Va, Woodrow Wilson'S
Birthplace" was carried through the
galleries.
A black and white banner inscribed
"Give Us Wilson and Well Give You
Pennsylvania" appeared over the
Pennsylvania delegation, and it start
ed another cheer.
"Let the band play" shouted an ex-
cited New Jersey delegate, dashing to
the foot of the platform. The band
did play and the cheering increased
for a time. Finally the band swung
into the "Star Spangled Banner" and
out of the roar emerged murmur
as many of the delegates stopped
cheering to sing. But when the song
was over the shouting was resumed
and the band played Maryland, My

At 1882 Chairman Parker dropped
his gavel, the sergeant-at-arms clear

the Rev. Grouse began the prayer.
Representative Covington, of Mary

The report was read by Mr.. Coving-

president and vice president on the
program of the convention immedi-
ately after the report of the commit
tee on credentials, and before the
adoption of the platform.
Unprecedented Action.
"This is contrary to the usual GUS
tom," said Mr.. Covington, "but while
the committee on rules was in session
today three distinguished members of
the committee on resolutions, Senator
Rayner, Governor Vardaman, and
another distinguished member of the
resolutions committee, came into our
conference. They informed the rules
committee that the resolutions COM
mittee, by vote of Al to IL, ha dde-
termined that the exigencies of the
present Democratic situation made it
wise to have this convention proceed
to the nominations before the adop-
tion of the platform. In recognition
of the distinguished members of the
resolutions committee, the committee
on rules has embodied it in the report
of the rules committee. I now move
the adoption of that report"
Convention Surprised.
The report much to the surprise of
the convention generally, was adopetd
by a viva voce vote, without oppo-
sition.
Mr.. Covington then presented the
majority supplemental report of the
rules committee, making the "unit
rule" rule of the convention. AS
reported, the rule would make unit
instruction by state convention
binding on delegation if major
ity fthe delegation favored any par
ticular candidate. Representative
Henry, of Texas, presented minor
ity report, which would except from
the operation of this rule such dele
cations as are elected under state pri
mary rules by congressional districts.

They distributed Autographs of Un-

DEPICTS TERROR AT SEA
WHEN SHIP HIT ICEBERG
Policeman Peterson on Miner
va When That Vessel Fig
ured in Crash.

Policeman Jacob e. Peterson Of this
city said today he could fully appreciate
the awful extent of the Titanic disaster,
having been aboard the Minerva many
years ago when that steamer struck an
iceberg and was disabled. The Minerva
was on its way to Halifax over the north
ern course. and 1t was about midnight
when the iceberg was encountered.
I was only youngster then" he said,
''but I remember what terrible thing
1t was. I was thrown in an upright po-
sition In my bunk, and 1t was not long
before the order was given for those
aboard to take to the l:feboats."
The bow of the Minerva seemed to be
going down. and 1t appeared that the ship
was sinking The captain quickly got the
crew into the lifeboats and went q safe
distance away, expecting every minute
the freighter would disappear beneath the
surface OF the Water, but at daybreak
the boat was still afoat, and soundings
showed that the water-ught compart-
ments were holding effectively.
After several hours of intense anxiety,
the policeman explained, an examination
OF the ship showed that the engine had
not been submerged. The pumps were
started and soon the boat was moving
toward port.

not understand why there should have
been any loss of life. In the navy, In
