THE ELECTION IS QUIET
No Excitement at Polling Booths and
Usual Number of Workers is En-
$780,. tirely Absent.
RETURNS AT THE MARKHAM

Primary elections in Bemidji caus-
ed little excitement today and unless
the vote becomes heavier this after
noon and evening, will be one of the
lightest ever polled. Reports from
the booths at noon indicated that
less than one-third of the registered
OR two women had asked for ballots.
Polls will not close until 9 p. m.
All saloons were closed at o'clock
this morning and thirsty men had to
get UP early or wait until the polls
close tonight Chief Cell had extra
men on his force in order to see that
the letter Of the law was obeyed.
Judges have not been kept busy and
several decks of cards were in evil
dence this morning.
The provisions in the corrupt
practices act which state that cam
paign literature shall not be distrib-
uted on the day Of election of pri-
maries and that no worker shall ap-
proach within 100 feet of the polling
booth has had the effect of making
the primary quiet. Old timers are
also pointing out that candidates are
observing the law which says that
no carriages or other vehicles shall
be used to carry voters to the polls
and all who vote today are coming on
foot or in their own rigs.
Election returns will be received at
the Markham hotel this evening and
tomorrow As fast as the returns
come in to the Pioneer Office, they
will be posted on the bulletin board
and also phoned to the Markham so
that they may be found at either
place. The Pioneer has arranged for

II Not in By September 26, Names
Cannot Go on the General Elec-
ton Ballot.
SMITH HITS THE NEW LAW
Says on-Partisan Candidates Can
Have Party Designations By Us
ing Petitions.

Eight men who are candidates for
nominations in this county, failed to
comply with the corrupt practices act
and file an account of their total pre-
campaign expense before last Satur-
day night. According to the law,
they were SO notified by mail by
County Auditor George yesterday and
have ten days in which to get their
statements to his Office.
If the statements are not on file
at the end Of the ten days, the can
didates not only lose the right to go
on the general election ballots in No.
vember, but are guilty of a misde-
meanor and so subject to a fine or
imprisonment. Some of the men
whose statements have not yet been
received live in far parts of the coun-
ty and it is believed that their state.
ments have been delayed.
Attorney General Smith made a
ruling on Friday which has caused
several to state that the force of the
non-partisan provision has been done
away with. Under his ruling, not
only Socialists, but Democrats or Re-
publicans have the right to go out
and put candidates on the ballot by
petition with the party name appear
ing on the ballot. Anyone who can
get 500 names on a petition can get
on the ballot with the name OF a
party, except that the first one to file
would get the right to the exclusive
use of the party name.
at is unfortunate that the law
reads as it does,' said Attorney Gen
eral Smith, land l hope this provis-
ION will not be taken advantage of,
but there is only one way to rule on
the law as it stands"
Under the section providing for
non-partisan nominations, the new
law says: 'Nothing herein shall pre-
vent the nomination of candidates by
SlOupS, vi SO-Cdl1cu pO.
ftical parties which cannot be recog-
nized as such, by certificate of the
voters
The point was raised by the Social
lists, who are going to name their can
didates by petition. They want to
have the phrase public Ownership,
Nominated by Petition" placed af-
ter their candidates on the general
election ballot. Their request was
referred by City Clerk R. N. Knott
Of Minneapolis, to the attorney gen
eral, who ruled in their favor. He
admitted today that the ruling made
as to the Socialists would apply also
to Republicans or Democrats. The
two nominees for each Office who are
named in the primary under the law,
can have no party designation.

Four Downs For Distance.

Under the latest revision a plung-
ing halfback may smash into the line
four times to gain his distance. This
is the feature of the old game that
the football public wants to see back
again. After all, there was no more
thrilling play on the gridiron than to
see the sturdy, stocky halfback take
the ball and dive through the opening
which his guard or tackle has made
for him.
It means additional work for the
ends, because with four chances at
rushing the old end plays are likely
to come back into favor. One thing
seems to be quite certain. this sea-
sons game will not be punting duel
between a couple of accomplished
kickers, with two lines of we'll drilled
men pushing against each other with
no chance whatever to ever rush the
ball. The football doctors have tried
to make the game as much like the
old game used to be as possible with

Pigskin May Be Thrown Forward As

TOUCHDOWN COUNTS
Has Been Made Worth Two Field
Goals-0nly One Coach Allowed
On Side Lines.

New York, Sept. 17.-Another ex-
detrimental season of football is now
at hand and gridiron coaches are in
2 quandary about how the latest re-
vision of the rules are going to adapt
themselves in actual combat. The
one thing that the new rules aim to
do, most OF all, Is to strengthen the
games attack and encourage more
scoring. In trying to accomplish this
purpose, the rules have been changed
SO that the defense has been opened
up and decided advantage has been
siven to the offensive team
Football men who have tried to an
ticipate the results of the new rules,
believe that this season will see many
high scores. The number of downs
for gaining the required ten yards
has been increased from three to four,
This is sure to promote the rushing
game which spectators have missed
in the new game. With four chances
to gain distance, the season is apt
to see many plunging backfeld men,
like under the old game. Although
the rushing game is being encouraged
by this change, the old push and pull
and Objectionable mass play forma-
tons will not mar this feature of the
sport.
Another change which will pro-
mote scoring, is the elimination of
the 20-yard zone, which has hereto
fore limited the fight of the forward
pass. Within the twenty yards a
team could build up a defense which
made an attempt at the forward pass
a dangerous play. For this reason,
the Possibilities of the forward pass
have never been fully developed by
football coaches because of the slim
chance of getting it through a de-
tense which was concentrated within
twenty yards of the scrimmage line.
No Limit for Passes.
Under the new rules the forward
pass may be thrown for any distance
and it will be interesting to watch
what a tricky and versatile team
like the Carlisle Indians will develop
q nj Of wi
So with the widening out of the de-
tense and additional power given to
the rushing game, it is very likely
that the football crowds during the
season will see enough scoring to
make up for all the no-score ties OF
the last few years.
1t is easy to perceive that the
game should be more attractive I'm
der the system of the big teams of
last season team would try to rush
the ball once and if they failed to
gain, the second play would be a
punt. If team approached the
others goal line and had but one
down left sometimes a forward pass
was attempted as a last resort, but
the attempt was seldom successful
because of the compact defense which
could be built up within the twenty
yard zone.
