LACK OF PRACTICE ONLY EXCUSE


Lack Of practice and poor team
work resulted in an overwhelming
defeat for the Bemidji Hockey team
which met the Crookston city seven
yesterday. Armstrong played a star
game. He registered the only point
secured by Benaaji ssking the puck
the full length of the rink.
The contest was fast and clean
from the start with the puck usually
in the vicinity of Bemidji's goal.
Shot after shot was warded off by
goal tender Scarrot who was the
busiest man on either team. The Wis

athletes and displayed spirit during
the contest that won favor for them
from the rooters. Fisher and Carl

northern Minnesota, did not accom-
pany the team but their assistance
was not needed as their substitutes
proved too much for the Bemidji
seven

HIS ELIGIBILITY ATTACKED
Legal Obstacles to Candidate for Of
i'll flee Raised,

st. Paul, Feb. q Henry Rines of
Moro, candidate for state auditor may
be barred from running for this office
at the primaries.
John c.. Benson, Minneapolis attor-
ney, obtained an order from ChiefJus-
tice G. l.. Brown directing Julius A..
schmahl, sccretary of state, to show
cause why he should not refuse to ac-
cept Mr.. Rines affidavit of candidacy.
Mr.. Benson alleges the state consti-
tuition prohibits legislator from hold
ing an office the emoluments of which
were increased by the legislative body
of which he was member. Mr.. Rines
was the speaker Of the house at the
last session, and the 1913 legislature
increased the salary of the state audi

MANY TAX AYERS
OPPOSE NO.LICENSE
Merchant Property Owners Says Be-
midi Is Not Yet Ready To Gust
Saloons Money Is Needed
OBJECT TO PROBABLE INCREASE
Most Of Those Who Are Urging No
License Do Not Own Their Homes"
Says 18th Street Merchant

That merchants of Bemidji are not
alone in their desire to have the
saloons remain here for at least an
other year, but that the tax payers
Of the city feel the time is not ripe
for voting no-license, is the opinion
of a prominent Eleventh street mer-
chant and tax payer.
Time Not Ripe
"The merchants are not the only
ones who feel that the time has not
come for voting out the Saloons
said the merchant the tax payers
are just as much interested. We have
grading and many other things we
need the twenty-nine thousand dol
lars brought to us by licenses for.
I am not frequenter of saloons, but
I feel that the time has not come
when we can do away with the
saloons and profit by doing so. 1
hope that the saloons will not be vot-
ed out this year. A glance will show
that many Of those who oppose IL
cense DO not pay taxes
Where To Get The Money
Another point which the merchant
brought out was that of returning
the license money. Should the
saloons be voted out several thousand
dollars would have to be returned to
the license holder, but where is that
money to be obtained? Another
point which is bothering a large
number of the tax payers is the in
craasc in taxes which Would CT
cou.'se be necessary without the
Saloons he added.
Expect Victory p.
Friends Of no-license are urging
its adoption and as election day ap-
proaches claim their strength is in
creasing. The opposition is certain
that that the saloons will be continu-
ed.

Only praise is expressed by the Be-

everything in their power to show

FOUR CANDIDATES
FILE Pc II I ions
Mayor Mccuaig, Treasurer Rhea, As
SCISSOR Lloyd And Clerk Stein Place
Name on Ballot for Reelection
OPPOSED ONLY BY SOCIALISTS
Paul Foucault- Announces Candidacy
For Alderman In Third Ward And
Supported By Strong Following

William McCuaig, mayor, George
Rhea, city treasurer, Thomas Lloyd,
city assessor and George Stein, city
clerk, today filed their petitions
which have been completed by Tho
mas Lloyd, and their action assures
the placing of their names on the
ballot for reelection.
Mayor McCuaig has given general
satisfaction during his year in office
and it is not probable that he will
have opposition other than from the
Socialists. He has devoted much
time to the duties of the office and
has been quite successful in his eff
forts to improve conditions in Be
midi. His election-is practically as
sured.
Only Socialist Opposition
The other three candidates will
have no opposition except that of the
Socialists, and as each office has
been conducted in a manner above
criticism during the past year, the
voters of the city generally feel that
they should be rewarded by re-elec-
tion
One More Candidate
Every day brings forth develop
ments which would signify that the
campaign between now and the
seventeenth will be an interesting
one. The candidacy of Ted Getchell
for alderman in the first ward, in
opposition to j. P. Lair was the first
indication of fight for any office
and the announcement of Paul Fou-
cault of the third ward that he will
oppose Candidates Omich and Guen-
Their has added another feature to
the election. Foucault is expected
TO be a factor in the race, and his
election would not be at all surpris-
ing.

Her Babies Are OF Greatest
Interest To Lady Decies Nou

Life in general. and her babies In
particular, are the chief interests of
Lady Decies. who is now in America
with her husband. Lord Decies. Lady
Decies was the former Vivien Gould of
New York.
Considering her youthful appearance
and her girlish figure, n can scarcely
believe that she is the mother of two
children. The OUNCE daughter of the
household was left in London on this
trip. She is too young to travel.
But the elder, the Honorable Eileen

York season while her parents are trav-
cling in California.

after denying her own participation in

that. She calls her grandfather George.
She greets him with How do you do,
George?'
Yes. she's a regular American. l
wan my children to love America"
said the vivacious little lady who is one
OF Americas most favored daughters.
Il want to bring them over to New
York every year so that they will know
and love this country and the HON
people.
oh, yes, I'm a suffraget. I believe
in it. But I don't believe in the mill
tan methods. You know Lord Decies'
sisters are active suffragets, but they
aren't in the militant brigade. 1 think
the militant methods a retarded the
granting of suffrage in England. but 1t
will come. 1t is bound to come.
My ideas about children-let me see,
why are they? / really havent's given
them a great deal of thought until to-
day, for l have never had to outline
what theories I'll follow. You see the
children are SO very young, and the
