ECHO OF CAMPAIGN
Charged That Senator Was
''Bribed" by Bemidji to
Decide Normal

Thief River Falls, June 26.-The
June te- ~ of district court opened
here wiz: Judge Andrew Grindeland
of W.:lvc, presiding. The session
will lc .lort as there are but eight
continued cases and nine new ac-
tions on the civil calendar.
Much interest is centered in the
silt .@of DIP sO,Neill =. former. state
senator, who is seeking $4,000 dam
ages against S wan johnson, the case
being based Upon alleged statement ts
alleged to have been made in the last
political campaign.
F.. NJ. Stanton will represent
O'Neill in the action and Theodore
Quale and o. A. Naplin, the defend
ant.
This action is of unusual interest
to the citizens of Bemidji and Bel
tramf county, as we'll as others in
Northern Minnesota and in fact the
entire state, for the former state SEN
ator, defeated at the last state elec-
tion, was one of the staunchest sup
porters and workers for the new nor
NAL school erected in Bemidji, as was
the large majority of the state legis-
lature.
1t is alleged that in his campaign
for reelection, his opponents spread
the report that one of the cities seek
ing the location: Of the normal gave
him money to secure his support,
whereupon Bemidji gave him more
and secured the school, the total sum
stated to be $4,000. It was at the
time of the influenza epidemic that
the recent campaign was on, and
Senator O'Neill didn't make his GUS
tomary efforts. His opponents did,
however, and he was defeated by a
small margin.
1t was a specially appointed board
that decided the location of the nor
NAL in Bemidji and to assert that
Bemidji gave anybody any money in
the matter is utterly absurd. At
least no one here ever heard of it.
