CHICAGO IS CHOSEN
FOR COP. CONVENTION:
WILL MEET ON JUNE 8
Supporters for Candidates Are
Active; Few Now Out.
In the Open

'Washington, Dec. 12.-Although
the republican national committee
has adjourned it's sessions here after
selecting Chicago as the place and
June as the time for the national
convention, political circles in the
capital were kept alive by the vari-
GUS booms for republican presidential
candidates for 1920.
Many republican leaders have left
for their homes but a large number
remained for the meeting today of the
state chairman, who have organiza-
tion questions under discussion.
Supporters of candidates for the
presidential nomination which will
be decided at the Chicago convention,
have been unusually active here the
last few days, but so far few of the
candidates had appeared formally in
the open.
Chicago won the convention by a
vote of A to 8, St. Louis being the
only competitor when the final vote
was taken.
The committee adopted a resolu-
tion commencing the states, which
have ratified the national woman suf-
frage amendment and urging the
other states do so in time to permit
women to vote in the 1920 election.
The membership of the various COM
mittees, which will serve during the
approaching campaign, was named.

REDUCED PAST YEAR
Much Withdrawn for Purchase
of Liberty Bonds and

During the past year there has
been a noticeable decrease in the
amount of deposits in the postal saw
ings at the Bemidji postoffice.
The total amount on deposit De-
cember l, 1918 was $6,488, but dur
ing the past year Withdrawals have
been large, leaving total of $4,259
for December 1, 1919. During the
month of November $435 were with
drawn and only 81 deposited.
Many of the withdrawals were
made to purchase Liberty Loan bonds
and war-savings stamps, which pay
higher rate of interest.
At present, the majority of the
savings brought to the postoffice are
being used to purchase war-savings
certificates. One farmer, living in
the vicinity of Bemidji, is making a
purchase Of certificates amounting
to $1,000. p.
These certificates mature jan

DECISION FOR JURY.
NOT DISTRICT JUDGE.
SAYS SUPREME COURT
Attorney Charles Scrutchin Sc
cures New Trial for
His Plaintiff

In the decision of the case Of Char
les j. Mcdonald VS.. the Guyana
Range Power company, filed by the
supreme court of Minnesota, Decem-
Der II, the court held:
Upon the evidence neither de-
fendent's freedom from the negli-
gence charged nor plaintiffs contri-
butary negligence appeared as a mat
ter of law, and it was error to direct
a verdict of the defendent.
Charles Scrutchin, of Bemidji, ap.
peared as counsel for the plaintiff ir
the case first tried in the Bemidji dis
trict court and Judge Clennahan di.
rected the verdict in favor of the de-
fendant. Mr.. Scrutchin appealed the
verdict to the supreme court and the
by Judge Holt.
The defense took the issue of con-
tributary negligebce on the part of
the plaintiff. The defendent is the
owner of tract of land, short dis
lance northeast of Riverton, upon
which is located an electric light
plant. A public road runs north and
south on the westerly side OF the
premises, and from this diverges a
trail on the defendants property,
generally used by teams and pedes-
trians. In 1916, trenches were dug
for a supply Of running water, the
excavations being six feet long, six
feet deep and at intervals Of ten feet.
While these trenches were open the
plaintiff fell into one on a dark night
and claimed to have received injuries
for which he sought damages.
A new trial was denied the plain
tiff and the appeal was taken to the
supreme court and in conclusion Of
the decision the court says:
eve are OF the opinion that the
issue Of contributary negligence was
for the jury"

CONSTRUCTION WORK
O|NHHCA RURAL LINE
TO CONNECT BEMlDJl
Farmers Residing on Hubbard
County Border Are the
Promoters

The work of construction has COM
menced on the Helga township tele-
phone line, Helga being 13 miles
southwest of the Bemidji in Hubbard
county, and the line will run to Be-
midi, connecting with the local
Northwestern exchange line at the
M, & l., two miles southeast OF Be-
midi. The line is to be full metallic
and twenty subscribers are already on
the list.
It is the intention to make this
rural line complete in every detail.
The farmers interested will supply
the poles and set them. They have
two men residing on the line who
have had experience in telephone
work and they will put up the line.
Several Bemidji business men have
taken an interest in the new line and
have contributed literally to have 1t
installed.
The officers of the new company
are:, President, C. L. Mahan; vice
president, Adner Stone, secretary, Mr..
Cross; treasurer, David Cochran.
Harley Kuhn, Louie Buchson and
President Mahan were in Bemid6i
Thursday to open bids for material
and equipment and there were seven
who submitted figures.
The new phone line will put Helga
in close touch with Bemidji and be a
valuable asset to that section, while
Bemidji will also be benefited, by be-
ing brought directly into communica-
tion with such progressive farmers.

r II can say this, that in places
where the I. w. w. have it all their
own way we have no locals. This is
in districts where they are solidly or
ganized; wages are very low and
hours in most cases are longer than
in nearby districts where our or
ganization is organized. They have,
in some cases, worked into A. F. Of L.
localities and disrupted the A. F. of
l.. organizations and as a result no.
thing exists now. They simply tear
down and leave nothing in it's place.
The I. w. w. theory is to deal all
the oppression and aggregation pos
sible. They think that the more you
oppress a man the faster he will be-
come class conscious and willing to
fight without reservation.

dependence and cooperation we can

times are hard and wages low and
work scarce, it is hardest to organize

we are able to get ahead faster with

foundation which will maintain after
hard times have come upon us. So
claim the I. w. w. are impossiblests.

Naval Reservists Into
Definite Units

Minneapolis, Dec. 12.-lmmedlate
organization of the inactive naval re-
serve force of the United States will
be carried out by district command
ants under instructions from the
Bureau of Navigation, according to
Washington advices received here.
The new policy will affect 10000
naval reservists of the states OF Min
nesota and North Dakota.
Lieutenant Commander G.. H. Fort,
navy recruiting officer for Minnesota
and North Dakota, said he has re-
ceived no official advices concerning
the reorganization, but added 1t has
been understood new policy has
been under consideration for some
time to organize the reserve along
lines similar to those Of the militia.
Periodical Drill Required.
The Washington advices indicate
the district commandant at the Great
Lakes station will work out the plans
for organization Of the naval reserv-
lists in Minnesota and North Dakota,
which are among the states in the
district of which the Great. Lakes sta
:tton is district headquarters. :. =
News dispatches say the proposed
organiza ation~ policy will make provi-
sion for, periodical drill and instruc-
tion. Each district is to organize it's
reservists into brigades composed OF
battalions, divisions and sections,
and every effort will be made to pre-
serve and build up the efficiency Of
the naval organizations enrolled DUR
ing the war.
Reservists to Be Rated.
District commandants have been
authorized to confirm the ratings of
reservists who meet all qualifications,
including that of three months sea
service. An examining board is now
confirming officers of the naval re-
serve. Upon confirmation members
Of the naval reserve become eligible
to receive as annual compensation an
amount equal to two months base
pay.
Units of the naval reserve to be
organized in this section under the
policy probably will be trained either
at the Great Lakes station or at Du-
1uth, where additional ships are to
be furnished the naval militia. Capt.
"uy "A. E1dIou, Du1uIu, CoIuluduudHl
of the Minnesota naval militia, is in

Of the naval reservists into definite
units and has attended a number of

A majority of the 10000 naval re-
servists of Minnesota and North Da-
kota were enrolled in the early days
of the war for period Of four years,
and still have two years to serve in
the naval reserve.
