PENDERGAsT BEST Man
Editor Rood diets Election Of Be.
midi Candidate for House Of Rep
resentatives-1s Leading Citizen
WILSON LOYAL TO SELL, ONLY

= Y Il - 90 -.
Andrew Rood, editor of the Inde-
pendent, one of the Bemidji papers
which is opposed to the election Of
F. A. Wilson as stake senator, in his
last issue, makes the following com
ment concerning the qualifications
of the Bemidji candidates for the
senate and house:
Under date of September 20, F..
A. Wilson tells the people of Bau-
dette that he is in favor of himself
for state senator and Mr.. Williams of
Baudette for representatives This is
the most brazen piece pf effrontery the
worst manifestation of political
gall that has ever been pulled Off
by a political candidate.
Here, in the city of Bemidji, is
Judge Pendergast, a nominee for
house representative, a man who
stands intellectually and otherwise,
compared with Wilson, like a noun
tain to q .mole-hill. The primary
vote shows the comparative stand
ing of Pendergast and Wilson with
the people of this city. Now, our
great embryonic statesman, in the
asks the people of Bemidji to betray
our old, tried, trusted, true, able and
efficient citizen,- Judge Pendergast,
in order that he, Mr.. Wilson, may,
by such betrayal, gain votes in Bau-
dette through such, we may justly
say, infamous political trickery and
conduct.
'.Ye Gods: is it possible that our
people will fall for such politics? Is
it possible that this district will send
to the state senate a man who, while
talking loyalty to himself, breaches
and practices disloyalty for his fell
low townsman?
THAT he would ask us to place
him, the lesser man,sin a highposi-
tion, and leave Judge Pendergast, the
greater man, the greater citizen, the
greater public servant, at home No
wonder some wise man once said that
politics make strange bed-fellows'
It certainly brings out the egotism,
the gall, the impudence, and the
smallness of the politician whom
God Almighty never intended should
reach an official station.
"After this election is over and
Wilson meets his political Waterloo
and Judge Pendergast is a house
member, Mr.. Wilson may wake up to
the fact that the people of this city
and county are able to take the meas
ure of himself or any other self
seeking politician who would betray
his fellow townsman for a few votes
in Baudette''

Clearwater County Sheriff Arrests
Smooth Crock Who Had Falsely
Obtained Money at Lengthy.
TRIED SCHEME AT BAGLEY

bank cashier at Lengthy, through the
sale of a false opal ring, a clever
swindler was arrested by the sheriff

he had been made the victim Of a
clever swindler, at once telephoned
Cashier Kolb, of the Clearwater
County State bank, cautioning him
to be on the lookout for crook who
passed himself off as travelling
salesman in need of ready cash.
No sooner had Kolb returned the
receiver to it's hook when a stranger
walked in the front door and told
story Of hard luck and the need of
$50, offering to sell ring or watch
if accommodated. He was told to
return later as the cashier was out.
The First National bank was in
formed of the affair and the sheriff
notified.
The swindier, as had been expect
ed, on leaving the state bank, went
to the National bank, where he was
detained until the arrival of the Of
ficials.
The Lengthy banker was notified Of
the arrest and Immediately went to
Bagley in his automobile. He was
successful in obtaining the money
which he had given for the ring,
forced the prisoner to pay all costs
and requested the matter be dropped.
The swindler's suit case was found to
be full of cheap rings and watches.

yesterday and had the Lengthy
cashier desired to enter complaint,
the grand jury would have taken the
case up Immediately.

RED LAKE TED

Government Following investigation
Decides Beltrami Reservation Pro
per Place for $25, 600 Structure.
WILL START WORK NEXT SPRING
Built for Care of Chippewa Indians
in This Section Of ate-Win
Be Modern Establishment.

Red Lake has been selected by the
government as being the proper place
to establish the $4,000 Indian
sanatorium, according to information
which was received at the reserva-
ton today by Superintendent Walter
F. Dickens, from the Department. of
Indian affairs at Washington.
Just one month ago DR.. F. Shoe
maker, travelling physician, repre-
senting the commissioners of Indian
affairs, visited the Red Lake and
Leech Lake reservations, tire pur-
pose of his trip being to investigate
and decide which agency would be
the proper place to establish the hos
pital as provided for in an appro-
priation bill which had passed some
time before.
Favorable to Red Lake.
DR.. Shoemaker was one of the
speakers at the Red Lake Indian fair
and took much interest in the work
being done among the Indians at the
agency, and appeared to be favorably
impressed with conditions as he
found them He then visited the
Leech Lake reservation, but did not
announce his recommendation.
Following his visit he sent re-
port of his findings to Cato Sells,
commissioner of Indian affairs, and
the announcement received today
from Washington is a result of the
investigation.
Has One Sanatorium.
The fact that there is already a
state sanatorium at Walker, to which
all Indians who are citizens of the
United States are admitted, is one
of the chief reasons for the Red Lake
selection There are a large num-
Der of redskins at the Walker agency
who are naturalized.
Start Work in Spring.
Work on the hospital at Red Lake
will begin early in the spring and
when completed it will be modern
and complete in every detail. The
appropriation of $4,000 is for the
construction and equipment of the
sanatorium.

CATO SELLS now m WEST

Owners of the twenty-i five saloons
now doing business in Bemidji are
not to be caught with large stocks
of liquor on their hands, should the
department of the interior, through
the department of Indian affairs, de-
eide to close the thirst parlors of the
territory included in the 1855 treaty,
just held to be still in force, by the
United States supreme court.
Saloon men of Bemidji, as we'll as
those of the other 100 retail liquor
establishments Of the cid" country,
have allowed their stocks to gradual
~ decrease, and should the Indian
department repeat the 1911 raid, at
which time liquor of all kinds and
in various kinds Of retainers was
confiscated, little booze" would be
destroyed.
8 Includes Fifth of State.
When the order is given the sa-
looms to close, it will bring one-fifth

ficer detailed to the suppression of
the liquor traffic, would arrive in the
twin cities in few days and determ-
med action would follow shortly
after.
Larson and Cato Sells, the In
dian agent, both are in the west now
and are expected here shortly" Mr..
Dickey said at st. Paul yesterday.
|"Our office will take no action until
we hear from them. The official
mandate of the case will not arrive
for about 80 days. 1t will be filed
in the district court in Minneapolis
and then the government agents will
get busy. The first move will be
made by the Indian department.
Congress Not to Act.
Mr.. Dickey and G. F. Wells, chair
man of the prohibition state central
committee, both agreed that the only
possible way to keep the saloons in
northern Minnesota will be by spe-
cial act Of congress for the abro-
cation of the old treaty.
"That can't be done," declared Mr..
Wells. ut might have been possible
20 years ago, but the liquor interests
haven't enough influence these days
to attempt anything like that"
