| That the petition which is beins
circulated among the business men
of Bemidji, and which they are
URGED to sign, favoring the candi.
dacy of F. A. Wilson for the state
senate, is being received with ridi-
cule rather than endorsement, is eyi-

the Pioneer Office, and printed below
The communication was written
by one of Bemidji's well known bust
ness men and is indicative of the SEN
timent of many other citizens of the
city, showing that the purpose Of the
petition, which will probably be used
in an attempt to cause the false i'm
preston that Wilson is sEstrong in his
home city, will be to no avail.
Following is the communication:
Hundreds Are Interested.
editor of the Pioneer:
1T may be of interest to the citi-
zens of this communitysto know how
some of us feel about Ethe eleventh
hour methods brought into play in
an effort to show that Wilson is Be
midji's choice for the state senate.
feel sure that hundreds will be in
terested and upon this basis ask that
this communication be given space
in your columns.
"Most of the business men and
many of our residents know that a
meeting was recently called for the
purpose of furthering Wilson's can
didacy. The majority Of the men in
vited to attend this meeting did not
know it's purpose, mark you, until
they came into the meeting. Here's s
the line of dope handed out:
A Cry for Help.
Something must be)done. Be-
midi men must stand shoulder
to- =. shoulder in order to Sc
cure an appropriation for a normal
school. Whether or not we like Will
son, our only salvation is to send him
to the senate. He alone can save
the day. The business men must
come to his rescue, ETC., etc.
''If the above conditions were true,
and the only remedy, Wilson, natur-
ally any loyal Bemidjite would get
behind this man and urge that he
be given our solid support; but these
are not the facts and the conditions
are exactly the contrary.
Apologize for Support.
"Can you find single Wilson sup
porter who says that he is for Will
son, without apologizing for it? Can
Bemidji afford to send a man down
to the state senate for whom it must
apologize? I believe that Bemidji
citizens as whole are big, broad
minded people. / believe they will
sacrifice certain spirit of selfshness
when their own interests, as well as
| those of the entire district, are at
stake. I believe they will remember
| that the district is the unit and that
| Bemidji is but a portion of that
unit.

Considerable Opposition.


That the business men, who are
signing the petition now being cir
culated, are acting in good faith,
there can be no doubt. But why the
petition? Why should it be neces-
sary? The fact that there is con-
siderable opposition to Wilson's can
didacy in Bemidji, his home town,
is evident that he is not the peoples s
choice. In this day and age the Of
flee should seek the man and not the

It was impossible to ignore Tom Phinney. Not that Van Vechten waNt ed to. because he didn't-as rule. Their friendship autedated their col. lege days; which was odd enough ii one cared to sum up the differences between their two characters. Tom Phinney, never celebrated for his wit, was once inspired 10 epigram by an appreciation of these tempermental dissimilarities, and as his utterance is not without pith it is worth quoting.
 He oonfded to his right-hand neigh. bor at a certain formal dinner: "Rud' dy not only belongs to a half of the world that's not wise to how the other half lives. but it's the half that doesn't care a rap and would be tired to death if you tried to tell it."
 With a lazy lifting of one slender hand, Van Vechten arrested Phinney's noisy progress across the lounging room. As soon as Tom comprehended who was hailing him. his good-hu. mored expression died away with com, 1cal rapidity, a look of mingled amaze mept and alarm taking it's place.

 Tom did precisely as he was direct ed. "WelI?" he gTunted. eyeing Van Vechten with a concern that was only half simulated. But in a moment he felt his gaze impelled to follow his friends.

 However, the alert watchfulness that lay behind Van Vechtens imperuirb ability was infectious, and as the preg nant moment drew nearer and nearer Tom himself fell to scanning the street, which was quiet and oppres slvely respectable, and never crowded with trafhc of any sort, even on work days.
