ALUMNI TO ORGANIZE TONIGHT
Twenty Graduates Asked To Gather
In High School Chemistry Room
At 7:3O.

In order to give a more definite
idea of what the University purposes
in bringing a trained body of men
and women to Bemidji for week in
June, a tentative program has been
sent out by the authorities. This
program has not been definitely
adopted, but it's features will prob
ably be found in the one that is.
Local alumni of the University are
to have a meeting at the High
school this evening to organize an
alumni club and it is expected that
they will get behind the June prop
osition and push it. President Vim
cent made lasting impression on
Bemidji people when he was here in
February and the alumni believe that
a week, such as has been planned,
would be a boom both to Bemidji
and the University.
Following is the outline of the
tentative program:

Columbus, Ohio, March 13-Will-
lam J. Bryan addressed the Ohio
constitutional convention here yes

evolution and not revolution. The
only difference between recall and

the people judge and in the latter
it is done by body of officials.

Miners Want Wages Raised.

Des Moines, Ia, March 13.-Union
miners from all the mining sections
of this state are gathering here in
large numbers to attend the state
meeting called to meet in this city
tomorrow. 1t seems practically a
foregone conclusion that the men at
their meeting will make a demand
for a raise in wages of ten cents a
ton and of twenty per cent for day
work. Should the operators refuse to
grant the increase demanded, it is
said, all work in the mines of the
state will stop on April /, until a
new wage scale is agreed upon.

Bagley, March 13.-(Specia1 to the
Bemidji Pioneer).-The license tick
ct, headed by Frank Norquist, coun-
ty treasurer, won in one of the most
bitter and sensational political fights
ever pulled off in the village of Bag
ley. While the vets are jubilant,
the drys are wondering how the
county treasurer, elected by the peo-
pie of the county, who are ninety
per cent against licensed saloons, is
going to explain his position. Know
ing county optionists claim that this
is the first move in the secret COM
pact recently entered into between
three county officers and the brew
cries to defeat every county option
ist next fall and carry the county
for an anti-optionist member Of the
legislature. A rumor of a compact
of this kind has been in circulation
for some time, but very little atten-
tion was paid to it, as no one seemed
to believe that there was any county
officer who had the backbone to enter
into fight of this kind. Be it as it
may, there is tempest in the Clear
water county political tea pot that
will only be Quieted down after the
election next fall. Ticket elected:
President-Frank Norquist.
Members of board-John Stratlien,
George Daniels, Gullick Holly.
Recorder-E. r. Sletten.
Treasurer-Edward Groven
Assessor-W. G. Huff.

Kansas Lining Up for Clark.

Hutchinson, Kas., March 49,
Nearly all Of the 617 delegates who
will comprise the Democratic state
convention to be held here tomorrow
have arrived in the city. The Demo-
Gratis regard the outlook for the Sue
cess of their party in Kansas this
year as unusually bright and the con-
vention promises to be an enthusias-
tic and harmonious gathering. The
work of the convention will be con-
fined to the election of delegates-at-
large to the Baltimore convention
and the selection of a national COM
mitteeman. The predominance of
the Clark sentiment is so marked that
it is not believed the Wilson adher-
ents will attempt seriously to pre-
vent the Endorsement of the Missouri
ian. The indications are that the
name of no other aspirant for the
Democratic presidential nomination
will be mentioned.

TWO MUCH MONEY
IS DETROIT'S EVIL
Players Are Too Wealthy to
Make Good Athletes,
Is Theory.

Detroit, Mich, July 25.-The money
evil has invaded baseball and set about
devastating what was once a cham
pionship ball club. After a series OF
soundings to determine why the Tigers
have fingered in and about the second
in a majority report declaring that
Jennings's team is suffering from the
presence of abundant wealth among
its players and that with automobiles
and the prosperity that came to the
team during its winning days the vital
spark of ambition has been dampened.
The result is that Jennings finds him
self plotting an aggregation of indif-
ferent players.
fans claim, that the Tigers are but the
remnants Of what was once a great
baseball machine. But the fact that
he asked waivers on the veteran
George Mullin and pitcher Summers
and is reaching out for new and young
players indicates that he, too. believes
that the Detroit team is in need Of a
thorough going over.
It is the claim of experts that the
and the Tigers, according to that rule,
have gone close TO the limit TEey
are certainly not putting up the game
today they played three years ago,
and the lineup is, with a very few
exceptions. the same. McGraW found
it necessary after winning a world s
championship in 1905 to practically re-
construct his team, and jennings Will
likely have TO do the same thing.
For two years it has been the claim
of many that the Tigers were a three
man team-CObb, Crawford and Null
lin being the trio that put the club in
the running.
