STEVENSON. Loss SMALL
Minneapolis Journal Political Writer
Says Congressman Will Not Feel
Loss Of Beltrami County
THINKS SOCIALISTS RESPONSIBLE

Charles B.. Cheney, political writ.
er on the Minneapolis Journal, and
who for several years has been con
sidered quite an authority on the po-
litical situation of the state, is of the
opinion that the taking out Of Bel
trami county from Congressman
Steenerson's district will in no way
effect the possibility of his reelec-
ton. > 80.
Several years ago, it will be re-
membered, Beltrami county practi-
cally saved STEVENSON from defeat,
in his race with, Sageng. Mr.. Cheney
compares the vote of former years
and believes that because of the So
cialists the taking out of this coun-
ty has little effect on the congress-
man.
Mr.. Cheney says: " aas
Since congressional districts were
reapportioned, it has often been re-
marked that detaching Beltrami
county from the ninth district weak
ems the hold of Congressman Halvor
Stevenson. This is questioned by
Martin Widsten of Warroad, chair
man of the congressional committee,
who points out that in the last cleo
ton Mr.. STEVENSON had a majority
of 1862 in the district, but only
229 in Beltrami county. In the
'Sageng champaign of 1908, the Stee-
nerson majority in the district was
'2,947, and of this 1912 was furnish
ed by Beltrami county. The differ
ence is due mainly to the growth Of
the socialists in Beltrami, to a point
where now they elect part of the
county officers. In the original pri-
mary fight of 1902, when Stevenson
was first nominated for congress,
most of his plurality was obtained in
Beltrami. Since that time, however,
Clearwater county has been detach-
ed from Beltrami, and it still re-
mains in the ninth district, while
what remains of Beltrami is shifted
to the sixth. Now that the social
lists have become the chief rivals Of
the republican party in the ninth, it
is evident that the detachment of
Beltrami is no great loss to Mr..
STEVENSON.

WOULD FREE jim GODETTE
Senator Rieke interested In Behalf
Of Negro Now In Murderers
Cell.
AT ONE TIME RESIDED HERE

Efforts now beinG made may re-
suit in an attem give freedom
to James A. Godetts, negro, now
confined in the state prison at Still
water where he was sent from
Koochiching in 1908 for the murder
of Charles H. William, also colored,
committed on a homestead near Big
Falls. State Senator A. v. Rieke, a
Minneapolis attorney, was in Benz
idji investigating the case and be-
lieves the outcome Of the trial to
be one of UNUSUAL severity.
At the time of the trial c. w.
Stanton, of this city, now Judge, was
county attorney Of Koochiching
county and conducted the trial
which resulted in the conviction IF
the negro. Charles Scrutchon of this
city had charge Of the case for the
defendant.
Public sentiment at that time was
almost entirely with the defendant
and much trouble was encountered
in selection of jury. The case was
tried before Judge Marshall A.
spooner, now practicing in Bemidji.
Atsthat time the pen atty for murder
in the first degree, the charge on
which Godettss was convicted was
either death or life Imprisonment.
Upon the recommendation of the
county attorney the latter was given.
The conditions on which Godettes
was convicted were purely circum-
stantial. He claimed self defense, but
pictures which were allowed to be
shown in evidence showing the dead
man on the ground, showed the gun
with which Godettes claimed he
would have been killed if:he had not
shot first, resting against The right
arm of the murdered man. The state
proved that Williams was left
handed man and this fact had much
to do with the verdict of the jury,
causing the members to believe that
it had been placed there after the
shooting. Investigation showed that
after Williams had fallen to the
ground, his murderer had stood over
him and poured shot after shot into
his lifeless body.
Norman Helmer, now dead. was
called as a witness for the state, but
never testified in the case. Helmer
was a member of the police force at
the time Godettes made this city his
home. Sherm Bailey was chief of
police and at that time Godetts was
always know as a trouble maker, and
was somewhat Of pugilist, claim
ing oh the witness stand that he
never had been beaten.
The matter over which the trouble
is supposed to have started was in a
misund dealing with a log
ging contract made between the two
and which Godettes claimed Will.
Hams refused to live up to. Senator
Rieke will attempt to gather his
data in time to present them at the
next meeting of the state board Of
pardons which meets October. Is.

PimpIes Should

Disease Germs in Most
Unexpected Manner.

The research laboratory of The Swift
Specific Company has collected a vast
amount of Information regarding the
spread of blood diseases. In thousands
of Instances the most virulent types have
been the result OF coming in contact with
disease germs in public places, and the
apparently Insignificant pimple has been
the cause. 1t spreads with astonishing
rapidity. often injecting the entire system
in few days.
1t Is fortunate, however, that there Is
a remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly
with such a condition, and thanks to the
energy of its producers the famous
s. S. s. may now be had at almost any
drug store in the civilized world.
This preparation stands alone as a
blood purifier. 1t is somewhat revolu-
tionary in its composition, since it ac-
conplishes all that was ever claimed for
mercury, iodides, arsenic, and other de-
structive mineral drugs, and yet 1t is alb
soluteiy a purely vegetable product.
There are more cases of articular rheu-
matism, locomotor ataxia, paresis, neu-
ritis, and similar diseases resultant from
the use of minerals than most people are

LEAVES MANY DESCENDANTS
Woman 100 Years Old Has I'm

Philadelphia-Mrs. Freda Videutz-

109th year, leaves 200 descendants and
in this respect was the head of what is
believed to be the largest family on
record There are IL grandchildren
and IA great-grandchildren in this
country, while her daughters here say
that IL more grandchildren in Russia
have 100 great-grandchildren in that
country and two great-great-grand-
children.
Mrs. Videutzky was born in Kief,
Russia, in 1904. She lived there until
she was SO years old, when she was
brought to America. Curiously she
had only three children of her own,
and all of her descendants come from
her daughters, who raised immense
families.
Another strange record held by this
woman was that she obtained legal
separation from her husband at the
age of 80, after having lived with him
go years.
