Trenton, n. j., Nov. 9-The lone man
among the delegates TO the convention OF
the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation in the Assembly Chamber at the
State House to-day could not get the only
motion he made before the convention.
The steam roller methods with which the
walls OF the Assembly Chamber are so
familiar were employed, and Henry Lock
wood Of Jersey City, found himself out
OF order.
Mr. Lockwood was n delegate from the
DeHart Club, Of Jersey City. and he
sought to have Mrs. Dubois. of Bayonne,
selected as a delegate 10 the coming ma
tional convention in Philadelphia. He got
on his feet, and he stood there for some
time before the president would recog-
nize him. When he did finally get recog-
milton he told OF the great work Mrs. Du-
bols was doing in the DeIIart Club. and
thought 1t a fitting tribute that she should
be made a delegate to the convention.
Mrs. Clara 8. Laddy. the president. told
Mr.. Lockwood he was out. OF order, and
that the nominations had been closed Mr..
Lockwood said the selection might be
made by unanimous consent, but Mrs.
Iaddy said you are out OF order" This
ended the participation OF mere man in
the work OF the convention.

# expressed the enthusiasm all women

.'Thcre was a great deal Of feeling on
the part of suffragists against this pa
radc because Of its being at night, but
told the women who spoke that way
to me that if they felt afraid that was a
sign they needed the experience. F.
THE only way to be safe on the streets
at night is for women TO go out, Shey
must be made safe, and the only way
10 make them safe is for women to so
out and insist on protection.
I'VE would have highway robbers on
our streets to-day If men had been afraid
10 go out because of these robbers. Let
the timid ones come forth, until the city

STATIONS Of last nights suffrage parade
took place at the reviewing stand-the
porch Of the cottage at the north side Of
Union Square. The first truly vociferous
shout Of a crowd, only quietly enthusiastic
before that, was drawn forth by Charles
Edward Russells appearance at the front
Of the stand.
II was while the line Of more than 1000
Socialists. which he had led down the
line, were still passing, and they stopped
their chanting Of the Marseillaise TO cheer
for "Comrade Russell" He bowed his
thanks, greeted DR.. Anna Shaw with
congratulations sister," bowed his fare
well to the crowd and was Off to speak
10 a meeting waiting for him In East
Broadway. He had been scheduled to
speak at the Square, but II was already

Of ending.

friendly That is because Roosevelt awak-

Now, I'm not a Bull Moose, and I'm
not crazy about Colonel Roosevelt, but
do believe he is man who keeps his
finger on the pulse of our public life. He
comes out for suffrage when the time is
ripe, and when he takes off his hat to
the women the people follow him.
1T was marvellous parade, because
it was the second in one year" said Miss
Mary Garrett Hay; chairman Of the
Woman Suffrage party. what other
cause or association could get up a pa
rade like this once year TO say nothing
of two inside OF six months?
1T Just shows the growth of our
movement. We couldn't have done it
ourselves two. years, ago. but now the
women have got the habit. You can't
stop them. Popular feeling for us is
enormous too. Why, you can scarcely
find an anti in the city.
There are people who are Indifferent,
of course and it is for them especially
that we parade. We can impress them
in this way, when We never could get
them to come to parlor meetings or even
to listen to speeches on the street corner.
There's nobody who. won't look at

Welcome for Dr.. Shaw.

The second big demonstration came at
II o'clock, when DR.. Shaw rose 10 speak
TO a crowd, part of which had been
standing there patiently for more than
two hours. The jubilant chant OF -Four
four, four states more greeted her from
many parts OF the square.
Her speech was one OF congratulation
and gratitude. She spoke only briefly of
her own strenuous four months work In
the campaign which added four more
stars TO the suffrage flag, She expressed
her gratitude to the men for their demon
stration and said that II augured all hope
OF success In New York in 1915.
DR.. Shaw was followed by Miss Harriet
May Mills, president OF the State Woman
Suffrage Association; Mrs. Frederick
Nathan, OF the Equal Franchise Societyi
Miss Leonora O'Reilly, president OF the
Wage Farmers Suffrage League, and
Mrs Walter Hervey. OF the College

Who Says Women Don't Chserl

As the ranks OF the parade passed
through the narrow passage In front Of
the porch they were greeted with per-
sonal cheers and congratulations from
the organizers and grand marshals of the
parade assembled there. II was chorus
OF Bully for you. Gracew '"Three cheers
for the Wage Farmers League" and
"Hurrah for Jimmy" when the Mems

One enthusiastic man stuck his hat on
a stick to attract Dr. Shaw's attention
and dashed up TO shake her hand, while
Mrs. A. c. Hughston, grand marshal OF
the spring parade, murmured over the
rail: "Oh. why don't they move on

seemed to be that there was no place

FOOTBALL TEAM TO BE WINNER


At meeting of the high school
athletic association the first of the
week, Earl Bailey was chosen cap
tain for the coming season. Bemidji
has always ranked among the fore
most on the gridiron in Northern
Minnesota, several years winning the
pennant. Coach Carson, who is also
one of the professors of the high
school, has taken the boys in charge
and will insist that the boys train
faithfully throughout the season.
Practically all available material
turned out at the meeting and indi-
cations are that Bemidji will turn
out a winning team this fall. The
schedule has as yet not been complet-
ed. The Red Lake Indian school is
anxious for game with Bemidji this
year and it is probable that such a
game will be arranged. Supt. w.
F. Dickens, of the Red Lake Agency
is planning to turn out a good team,
both in football and basketball. This
will be the first year that this school
will be active in athletics.

its and Entertainment Than Ever
Before Offered.
INDIANS COMING IN FORCE
From Twelve to Twenty-Five Families
Will Bring Tepees and Camp Ov-
er Thursday Night.
Wednesday, Sept. 11-0pening day.
Thursday, Sept. 12-Red Lake day.
Friday, Sept. 13-Bemidji day.

For three days next week, the
farmers of Beltrami county will be
rulers at the fair grounds. For three
days their produce will be exposed
to the admiring eye of the ordinary
city man. The farmer will be king.
The annual Beltrami county fair
will open Wednesday morning, and
those in charge say that it will be
bigger and better than ever. The
fact that Beltrami county made such
a showing at the state fair has adj
ded interest to the county fair and in
dications are that attendance records
will be broken.
For the first time in the history of
the county, the Red Lake Indians
will come to the fair in force. Not
only will they compete with the
whites in the regular classes of field
crops, but will have competition
among themselves for exclusive In
dian products. AS an added feature,
from twelve to twenty-five families
will bring their tepees when they
come on Thursday and will camp on
the grounds over Thursday night.
For those who wish to return home
on Thursday, the Red Lake train will
be held until p. m.
Friday will be Bemidji day and eff
forts are being made to have all bust
ness houses closed during the after
noon so that the employees can take
in the fair The grounds will not be
open evenings under present plans.
Many of the merchants have already
agreed to the plan and it is believed
that all houses will be closed when
the day comes. The Pioneer will go
to press at IL o'clock.
At the last meeting of the city
council $3.50 was voted from the gen
eral fund to the fair committee to be
used for expenses. The council at
first intended to vote but $50 but at
ter hearing the pleas of R. H. Schu-
maker and A. P White, decided that
the larger sum would be wiser.
Word from Blackjack has reached
the management to the effect that
the people from the towns in the vi
cinity of Blackjack are eager to show
their crops and that large number
will come down for the fair. Man
ager Molander has offered a rate of
round trip for the usual one way fare
and many on the Red Lake road are
planning to take advantage of the
offer.
The amusement features have not
yet been entirely worked out but they
will include many varieties of field
sports both by the whites and In
dians. No horse races have been list
ed for this year, but on Friday af-
ternoon series of auto races will be
run off. -

SEASON OPENS TODAY
Sixty-two Small Game Licenses Issued
By Auditor George to the Eag-
er Hunters.
WEATHER IS SAID TOO HOT

At noon today, County Auditor
George reported that he had sold six
ty-two small game licenses. The sea-
son for game in this class opened this
morning and Bemidji hunters were
not slow to take advantage of the
facts Many had left early in the
week for the prairie country to the
west preferring to shoot chickens now
and go for duck when the weather
gets colder.
Men who have been into the coun-
try say that game will be plentiful
this year and that the shooting will
probably be good as long as the sea-
son is open. Prairie chickens have
had a good nesting season, the rice
beds are well headed out, and par
stridges have raised big coveys. The
partridge season will not open until
October 1.
Since the timber has been removed
to a large extent from the country to
the south and west of Bemidji, grouse
have come into the cut-over lands and
are adding to the sport of the hunt
ers. Grouse season is open now.
Wilbur Lycan and L. w. Griffith
were the first to come into Bemidji
with any game. They shot on Shell
Lake at sunrise this. morning and
came back with six ducks. Many
who are planning trips do not intend
to go out until the weather gets cool
er as they say the birds will not keep
more than one day. The season clos
es December 1.
