Both Sides Confident.

Both Sides Confident.
Both the "wets'' and drys" are
confident that they will win, al
though both sides admit that the vote
will be very close. The "drys" be-
lieve that the vote in the Benville
district, that has not been received,
will cut down the "wet" lead con-
siderably.
There are IA saloons in Beltrami
county, eight at Baudette and six at
Spooner. Kelliher has several Ii
censed drinking houses.
Much interest was shown in the
election, the vote in all precincts be-
ing very heavy. It is believed that
over 5000 votes were cast in the
election. There were $500 votes
cast in the 46 precincts received.
In Bemidji FOL votes were cast as
against 465 votes cast at the June
primaries for representative to the
state legislature.
Baudette Vote Heavy.
In Baudette 323 votes were cast at
the election yesterday as compared to
1913 votes cast at the June primaries
for representative.
Nymore cast al votes as compared
to 50 at the June primaries.
There were many surprises in the
election besides the large vote.

went wet by only "a votes, the vote
being 81 wet and 43 dry.
- B1ackducA went dry by only .18;
votes. e =.
Nymore went wet by 29 votes.
The Red Lake Indian agency was
decidedly, surprisingly wet. The
vote was 79 wet and 13 dry, lead Of
sc votes for the: vets. There is
some talk that the vote in this pre-
cinct may be contested.
Baudette went wet by a vote of
149 votes while Spooner spit
even with vote Of II for each side.
ss Redby went dry by 9 votes.
Bemidji Goes Dry.
Bemidji cast more votes at this
election than it did at any other
election this year. Much interest
was shown in the campaign during
the past week, those who favored the
wet side sending literature to all
parts of this district. Bemidji voted
dry by 81 votes, the complete vote
being 366 dry and 335 wet. The

NEEDED FACILITIES

The insertion in the divisional RepuDGcan platform of a plank which binds the Republican can q date e this division, if elected to office. to work for and advocate better mail facilities is in accord suee with the crying sentiment of AIask4rs who are trying to develop aud establish houes in various parts of Southeastern Alaska. As the U,auk points out, nal TOuties zbOuId be established to all of the rural districts of this division from the standpoint of citizenry in thu Territory and not from the standpoint Of peCuniary interest moving to the government. The vessels employed in the speedy dispatch Of mails throughout the northlaLd should be safe, secure and adequate. This safety should extend not only to mail transPOrta- ion, bur to the safety of the lives uf the persons engaged in that 'rsns2orsaticn and those taking couyeyances on the boat.

CHICAGO, June SIN strenuous
efforts to bring about harmony before
the opening Of the National political
convention here tomorrow Republi.
cans and Progressives of prominonee
held repeated conferences; today after
spending most of the night discussing
various plans for possible agree
ment.
There was as many different opin,
ions on the question as there were
men discussing 1t apparently, and the
day opened with sleep bereft leaders
seeking some solution Of the difficult
ties barring the way to amity and a
reunited party. '..'.'. ~:
No man on the ground seemed big
enough or powerful enoughSt to take the
complex situation in hand and drive
through the confusion Of opposing fac
tions to q decisive conclusion.
Again and again the task was at
tempted, but no definite results were
apparent this morning.
Convinced that Roosevelt can not be
nominated by the Republican conyen-
ito, the. decisive combination Of fay
orite sons candidates which ID said to
control about $50 votes, today exerted
its full influence to eliminate Hughes
II they can. n
In this effort they, received the en-
thuslastic and united support of all
elements Of the Progressive party
leaders.
This is caucus day for state dele
cations and the fayorite sons man
ayers are tying up their men with
iron clad pledges to stick TO the COM
bination until the break comes In &C.
cordance with some plans to be decid-
ed on later.
While. the old organization leaders
are certain they have control Of the
convention, they admit the situntion
is pregnant with uncertainty at pres
ent. They hope that with Roosevelrs
aid they may be able to agree o a
candidate acceptable to "a majority OF
Progresslves and prevent q; ticket from
being In the field. %
The days developements disclosed
a specular drive OF the field against
Hughes, but despite this his friends
express confidence that he would be

loting.
