ANOTHER. INJUNCTION
IN LIQUOR LID CASES
Brainerd Brewing Company Secures
Writ Contending Beer is Not an
.: Ardent Spirit. g..

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 2. Plans
were made today to extend the scope
of the hearing on the application of
the Indian lid in Northern Mime
sofa when Judge Page Morris of. the
federal court hears arguments Nov.
s. Following the signing of a tenn
porary restraining order Saturday
night, Judge Morris yesterday signed
an additional order to show cause
in an application for temporary In
junction brought by the Brainerd
Brewing company. 4 -
r.. Beer Unknown.
In the Brainerd case it is contend
ed that beer cannot be classed as an
ardent spirit; that it was unknown
at the time of making the treaty, and
that the Indian agents had no right
to prohibit its sale anywhere in the
so-called Indian territory. The
Brainerd brewery was closed one
month ago.; so restraining order
was not necessary: The attorneys In
the Brainerd case ALSO insist that the
territory can no longer be classed as
Indian country, as indicated by the
presence Of 100000 whites against
z, 900 Indians.
+ The bill of complaint in the Brain
:erlf case goes into the whole question
Of the change of the territory. The
question does not enter,
because Brainerd is admittedly in the
territory set forth in the treaty.

DAILY WAR ANALYSIS

Another serious blow has been
suffered by the democracy Of Russia
through the decision of the decision
of the car to revive the post of chan
cellor of the empire and appoint
Premier. Goremykin to that absolu-
fist position, =-..s. . &C.,. :. - 4 4;
T. The, chancellorship As an unusual
office in Russia. It has been filled
only II times in 200 years, and has
been in allegiance throughout the past
generation. It's revival is unques-.
tionably due to the czar's desire to
increase tie posttsr vlesssttige %
NJ. Goremykin and thus emphasize
the approval of reactionary govern
ment. Since the car dissolved the:
duma, there have been frequent riots
throughout Russia. The people have;
felt that the car has been attempt
ing. to fix his absolutis1n more firmly
on the country, and national strikes:
have been but narrowly averted. =.
The car, however, has been able
to prevent revolutionary outbreak
and the courage Of the autocracy
seemingly has increased. go

leaders of the French revolution and

sfdedawtth the halt of the Teutonid
offensive in Russia. The czxrhas UNI
questionably taken much credit for
the new military situation In the en-
pire. The Austro- German check has
not been due to positive virtues
among the Russians, but to the re-
quirements of the Serbian campaign
and to the fact that all the reason
able Teutonic objectives had been
won along the eastern front when the
car made himself commander-in-
chief of his armies.
Nevertheless, the car has gained
local prestige because the invaders
have made no further important ad-
vancesr since his assumption of COM
mand. Taking advantage Of the mo-
ment, therefore. his majesty appar-
emily has resolved to prepare pre-
cautionary measures against any
later outburst Of democracy among
his subjects. M. Goremykin, the most
reactionary premier Russia has had
in many years, is to have his powers
largely increased ~and#is to marshal

New. York, Nov. "A :-Today the
men Of New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts, will say by ballot
whether their women shall be given
the vote. -
A: heavy vote in New York and
Massachusetts and a light vote in
Pennsylvania has been forecasted.
Whirlwind finish campaigns ended
last night. Early this morning suff-
ragists were at every polling place
to buttonhole the men as they ar
rived and make their final plea for
a favorable decision.
Ants Work Hard.
The ants also were represented
generally, but their campaign has
taken more the form of billboard,
street car and handbill statements
than personal propaganda work. ~
Should Pennsylvania vote fer suff-
rage, the Justice Bell, duplicate of
the Liberty Bell, which has been car
ried about the state for months with
it's shackled clapper prominently dis
played, will be rung in Philadelphia.
If suffrage is defeated, it cannot be
voted on again in Pennsylvania I'M
til 1920.
Fight Lasts 81 Years.
Submission of the suffrage ques-
tion to New York voters today comes
81 years after Susan B. Anthony first
took up the fight for "votes for wom-
en-" The constitutional amendment
has passed the legislature and the
vote today is legislative referendum
to the people. Governor Whitman
will vote Eyes, and Mrs. Whitman
has been prominent in the pro-suff-
rage campaign. H..
In. Massachusetts, the men are to
vote on the constitutional amendment
giving women the right to vote. The
suffragists' campaign in this state
has been more conservative than in
the other two, although several big
parades have been staged in Boston,
similar to the big one in New York
and those in Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia.
The betting was four to one
against suffrage in each of the states
today. The vote cast was heavy.
