WHY NOT at tonight's meeting
organize to have Geier and Gle, the
two (Big) Bemidji G. G.'s, start at
once as Industrial generals to enlist
every home loving son or daughter
(no age limit) into great Bemidji
industrial farm, garden and land
clearing army to wage a practical
war on H. C. of L., as well as.to
supply more wealth and comfort in
our local homes and furnish ample
food and clothing and powder for
our soldier boys at the front.
The two G. G.'s as generals, If
given proper orders and power, can
or should organize local companies to-
plant, care for and produce at least
5000 acres potatoes; to plant, care,
for and produce at least 1000 acres
beans; to plant, care for and produce
at least 1000 acres peas; to plant,
care for and produce at least 5000
acres corn; to plant, care for and
produce at least 5000 acres oats; to
plant, care for and produce at least
$4,000 acres vegetables.
After they have their army organ
lied and working and this crop
acreage growing close to Bemidj1,
then they can easily organize a new
additional company to reopen the
idle Bemidji Brewing company prop
erty as canning factory, cold stor-
age and potato warehouse. Track
age can be easily had from the Red
Lake line.
The third step these two G. g.
generals could do to good effect and
results would be to cooperate with
the Bemidji Manufacturing company
to enlarge it's plant, get men like
McGregor interested in same and to
remain in Bemidji instead of going
west. Get McGregor busy with the
farmers to produce during next year
not less than 10000 cords of hard
wood bolts for their company by
clearing land for clover and sheep,
and get other Bemidji socialists, la
borists or capitalists to take hold and
help furnish more steam, labor and
money power at the plant to en-
courage the farmers in making our
idle timber lands produce more
wealth.
/ While Barker and the militia goes
to the front, 100 strong, why. not
have the two big G. G. generals en-
list and put into the field within 80
days at least ten times as many in
dustrial farm factory workers or
soldiers at home. Let us start these
G. G. Generals at once.

which received an enthusiastic re-
ception. Mention of the recent over
throw of the Russian monarchy
brought loud cheers.
Wave after wave Of applause met
the presidents reference to German
spies infesting the country and his
suggestion of a partnership of demo-
cratic nations in the cause of peace.
Suppress Disloyalty.
A particularly vociferous outburst
greeted the declaration that IF there
should be disloyalty it will be dealt
with by a firm hand and stern re-
preston" -
The most noticeable interruption
came near the end when in the midst
of q declaration that 1t was "a fear
ful thing to lead their great peaceful
people into war;" Mr.. La Toilette
cleared his throat twice sharply as
though he would speak. Persons on
the floor and in the galleries were
quick to note the interruption, but
the president read steadily.
As the president finished every
person on the floor and In the gal
leries arose and shouted. Most of the
senators unfolded flags they wore in
their upper outside coat pockets and
waved them vigorously. Il
After the president had completed
his address, Senator Lodge shook his
hand warmly and said:

The president went Immediately to
Speaker Clark's room and after a
brief talk with the members of the
committee accompanying him, re-
turned to the White House with
members of the family and Colonel

he was cheered enthusiastically and
another cheering crowd awaited him
at the White House gates.
Make World Safe for Democracy.
The objects or the United States in
entering the war, the president said,
were to indicate the principles of
peace and justice against selfish and
autocratic power" ~
Without selfish ends, for conquest
or dominion, seeking no indemnities,
or material compensation for the sac
rifices it shall make, the United States
must enter the war, he said, to make
the world safe for democracy, as only
one of the champions of the rights of
mankind, and would be satisfied when
those rights were as secure as the
faith and freedom Of nations could
make them. -
The address was sent in full to
Germany by a German official news
agency for publication in that coun-
try. The text also went to England,
and a summary of its contents was
sent around the world to other ma
tons.

against the German government,
which he characterized as natural
