Political Apathy Apparent.

Attorney General Smith of Mime
sofa on Saturday submitted an opin-
ion to Secretary Of State Schmahl
that the last day for fling Of candi-
dates for office under the new primary
law will be Thursday, May Z. forty
days before the primaries on June 16.
1t has been supposed generally that
the forty-day limitation applied only
to candidates. for state office. but Mr..
Smith holds that it applies also to all
candidates for county and municipal
offices in those cities where the cleo
ton Of city officials is held at the
same time as other elections.
.. Few Have Filed.
Despite the fact that there are only
three days more than a month re-
naming before the time for filing ex-
pire@ remarkably few candidates have
got. into the ace.
For governor, William E. Lee of
Long Prairie is the only republican to
file, although Governor Eberhart has
announced himself. s. G. Iverson and
j. T.. Elwell filed ONE months ago,
but both have been "~eliminated".

midi Seven Sunday Afternoon
Visitors Confident Of Victory
PUCK cHAsERs ENTHUSIASTIC

Sunday afternoon Bemidji sport
enthusiasts will be given rare
treat when they will witness hoe
key contest between the Crookston All
star city team and seven comprised
of the best skaters of their city. The
Polk County aggregation is out for
the championship, and believe that
no team in the state excel them in
chasing the puck. With Watt, Arm
strong, Scarrot, Newton Brothers
and others in the line up for Be
midi the supporters of the local
team belive that the contest will be
about evenly matched.
In commenting upon the game the
Crookston Times says, "Bemidji has a
strong team but it is generally
thought that Crookston will carry
off the bacon" The Bemidji boys do
not agree with this and are now
working every evening to perfect
plays and prepare fef their oppon-
ents. The lineup tor both teams
will be as follows:

With the assistance of A. T. Pow
ell, the young men of Bemidji formed
a temporary organization comprised
Of five committees whose duty it will
be to care for the boys who will visit
Bemidji next month when the Boys
Congress" will be held in this city.
At the meeting last evening several
business men were called upon for
short speeches and assured the boys
that if any assistance was needed to
make the event success the entire
Commercial club and all of the bust
ness men were willing to support
them. l
The following committees were
appointed with c. w. Warfield, chair
man Of the general committee COM
prising the chairman of other COM
mittees: Publicity Committee, Mayne

Bemidji boys have shown consider
able enthusiasm and when called up
on last evening to express their ideas
concerning the matter, plainly show
ed that they felt honored at
being picked as the most capable in
the northern part Of the state to do
the work. This feeling was aroused
by the fact that only Bemidji and
st. Paul will be honored by a visit
from John Alexander, who is known
as the greatest worker among boys in
the United States. . -

Another Farmers Club

A number of prominent farmers
met at the Central high school build
ing at Hines and took preliminary
steps for the organization of farm
ers club. The temporary Secretary,
+. w. Jameson, was Instructed to
communicate with the Agricultural
Extension Division of the State Uni
versity, asking for a speaker to be
sent to Hines in the near future, at
which time permanent organiza-
ton will be effected. The settlers
are beginning to realize that the sue
cess of the modern farmer is largely
due to cooperation along scientific
methods of farming and systematic
marketing. A number Of public
spirited men from Bemidji and
Blackjack will also attend the meet
ings. The last year witnessed a
large immigration around Hines
vicinity and prospects are very ia
vorable for still larger number Of
incoming settlers their year.

MAYORS PETITION OUT
McCuaig Announced That He Will
Again Seek Election Rhea, Stein
And Lloyd Petitions Out
NEW CANDIDATES MAY ENTER

Assurance that William McCuaig
will be candidate for reelection as
mayor at the polls in February, was
given today when his petition, to-
gether with those of George Stein,
city clerk, George Rhea, city treas
urer, and Thomas Lloyd, assessor,
were placed in circulation by Thomas
Maloy.
While McCuaig has at no time de-
MED that he would be a .candidate for
reelection, the circulation of his Pc
tition makes it practically certain
ty that his name will be placed on
the ballot. He will not have any
opposition other than from q. W..
Hannah, the socialist, who was nom
mated by a referendum vote a week
ago, and who is now the only social
list on the city council. AS Mr.. Nc
Cuaig was elected a year ago in a
three-cornered fight it Is expected
that his majority this year will be
larger than at that time. There is
only one Socialist, with Mr.. Hannah
excepted, now holding public office
in the city government, this being
Judge Crowell of the municipal
court, who will hold Office for three
more years. Judge Crowell was
elected in five-contestant scrap last
year, when he was given a plurality
of two votes.
The other three officials whose Pc
titions are now being circulated will
be opposed by Socialists only, and their
election is assured.
Developments of the last few days
indicate that new candidates may be
announced for alderman in the first
and third wards. While such con-
dition of affairs would not likely ef-
feet the election of non-Socialist in
the first ward, the third ward would
be more serious. The vicinity In
cluded in the third ward is considered
the Socialist stronghold, and In q
three cornered fight, the Socialist
candidate would undoubtedly be ell
ected. Howard as e. L. Guenther is
the popular candidate for the position
prospective contestants may be urged
not to run.

WAS VICTIM OF AN
UNKNOW'lNllNFL UENCE
Mcdonald, While In Witnes. Chair,
Testifies That He Purchased Fur
niture for Defendant
MANY DISPOSITIONS INTRODUCED
Bring Forth Interesting Story Of
Episodes In London, Paris, Berlin
And America
MANY DISPOSITIONS INTRODUCE

The close of the plaintiffs side Of
the Mitchell w. Mcdonald versus
Amber Hamilton Macmillan case has
not yet been reached and the taking
of the testimony promises to take
Judge Stanton's attention for an
other week.
Hundreds of pages of dispositions
are being read into the record to dis
close the acts of the defendant from
1903 to 1910, much Of which, is in
ternational in scope and reveals epis-
odes in London, Paris, Berlin and
America. That she was married in
1904 to. Alexander Tourney, while in
England, from whom she was after
ward divorced is admitted by her.
She indignantly denies, however,
that she also became the wife, while
In Great Britain, of Mr.. James Green
wood, which allegation is made by
the plaintiff.
Sold Much Stock
Some Of the dispositions seek to
prove that while in London the de-
PENDANT was successful in the sale of
stock in the Ozark Mining company,
an American gold mining venture
and that she also floated consider
able Teaxs oil stock Many of these
dispositions are adorned with photo
graphs of the defendant as exhibits
to prove her identity.
A Mysterious Influence
Mr.. Mcdonald, while under cross
examination by. Mr.. Larrabee yester-
day admitted that in October 1908 he
paid $1,190 to Kansas City furni-
ture firm for household furniture de-
livered to the defendant, as his wife,
at her home in Kansas City. He in
sisted, however, that this generosity
on his part was caused by some sub
tie and mysterious influence which
she exercised over him though eight
hundred miles away, and that his
mental state was such that he did not
know what he was doing.
A. P. White On Stand
Marshall Ewell, much famed
handwriting expert of Chi
cago is here on the part of the
plaintiff to give his opinion as to
whether Mr.. Mcdonald did sign the
name arthur Charles Mcdonald" to
the marriage record at Windsor,
Canada, in May 1908. At Grand Rap
ids, few days ago, A. P. White, of
this city, testified that, in his opin-
ion, the signature was written by Mr..
Mcdonald.

SHERMAN TO TRY
ANOTHER PLAN.
Will Send Twenty five Permanent
Exhibits Of Minnesota Farm Pro-
ducts to Points in Several States
MUST HAVE MORE MATERIAL
immigration Commissioner Says Car
load Of Products Secured This Year
Practically All Used Up

Twenty-Five permanent exhibits of
Minnesota farm products will be ship
ped this week from the Minnesota
State Exhibit Room to points in Iowa,
Illinois, Nebraska and South Dakota.
The exhibits consist of bundles of
wheat, oats, rye, barley, flax, clover,
alfalfa, timothy, millet and many
wild grasses. In each exhibit twenty
five ears of Minnesota's choicest corn
will be displayed, together with a
printed statement showing Minneso-
ta's 1913 crop yield.
( Make Application
The conditions whereby these ex-
hibits are furnished are that parties
making application for them from
other states are dealing in Minnesota
lands; that they must maintain an Of
flee in a public place, and the Min
nesota exhibit must be tastefully ar
ranged on the walls of their office.
On each bundle of grain a tag is
securely fastened showing that the
product comes from Minnesota and
was gathered by the Minnesota State
Board of immigration. Each exhibit
is capable of occupying about sixty
square feet of wall space, and plenty
Of Minnesota literature will accom-
pany the exhibits for distribution.
Trying Out Plan
II am just trying this out" said
Fred D.. Sherman, Commissioner of
Immi grafton, last sight, "and if it
proves as successful as I anticipate
next year I shall try and place five
times as many of these exhibits, pro-
viding can secure the necessary
products. We had over one carload
of exhibit material this year when
We started making shows, but it is
nearly all gone and twenty-five ex-
hibits are all that the department
will eb able to place this year."
