HELP PREVENT LOSS BY FIRE.

National Fire Prevention Day will be observed
in the majority of the cities and towns in the
United States on October 8, the anniversary of the
great Chicago fire Of 1871 - '~x
Bemidji's part in the national program for fire
prevention is already being mapped out by spe-
cial committee for that purpose Pupils of the
Bemidji public schools will assist in putting
program which will carry message into every
home in this city. To make the program success
however, every citizen and resident of this city
must do his or her part The committee and the
school children sure to do theirs, but they
not accomplish such gigantic task alone.
1t is the duty of every property owner and
tenant to observe this national day by resolving
to become less careless with fire. Not only that,
but the resolution must be carried out to the letter
if benefit is to be derived. ~
Millions of dollars in property and thousands Of
lives lost every year in fires which crowd into
headline space in the newspapers all the
try. Even this is not adequate a warning to
hundreds of careless persons, through whose
lessness property loss and life loss constantly
become larger.

zens of this city were nominated as

of recalling the mayor and three mem

1t is not pleasant for any citizen
to accept such a nomination and these
men are TO be congratulated that
they have accepted, Ardmore is to
be congratulated that it has citizens
Of this type who are willing to un-
dergo the calumny and bitterness
that accompany such elections and TO
stand like stone walls for a better
city government that will restore order
in this city and restore the business
administration that will protect the

Of the people.

didates to be elected to take the
place Of the men who are being re-

but the senator stated that although
the duty that lies before this town
Is unpleasant, yet the unpleasant
tasks, all down through life, must
be performed
The house was declared ready for
nominations and Kirk Dyer was nam

Guy Sigler then took the floor
and in an impassioned Democratic
speech said that he had heard that
Kirk Dyer was a Republican and
that he for one would not stand
for q recall election that would
turn this town over to the Repubi-
cans. He stated that he had signed
the recall. that he believed there
should be a change in the city admin.

should make that change and elect
Democrats to succeed the men now

Statesman, made reply by saying
that no Republican in the city desired

Kirk Dyer Shows Up
With Clean Bill Of
Health as a Democrat

One of the first men TO deny the
charge that Kirk Dyer has ever been
affiliated with the Republican party
Mr.. Dyer some 20 years ago in the
state Of Wyoming and who knows that
he was elected TO the, Legislature In
that state on Democratic ticket.
Here are other facts concerning
the political affiliations of Mr.. Dyer
which we obtained in conversation
with him. Mr.. Dyer belongs to a DEM
ocratic family. His grandfather and
his father were Democrats in the state
OF New York. Mr.. Dyer's father, for a
period OF 50 consecutive years held
one county office in the state Of New
York He was elected as n Democrat
and served as Democrat and he was
elected In a Republican county and
won only by giving the people good
service.
Mr.. Dyer himself lived in Albany
county. in the state OF Wyoming for
period Of 70 years. He was affilia-
ted with the Democratic party. lie
represented his county in the legisla-
ture and was elected on Democratic
ticket. His county had approximately
1890 votes of this number about 200
were Democratic votes and about 1900
Republican. At Mr.. Dyer's ranch box
there were II votes. or this number
only three were Democratic but Mr.
Dyer received every votc in tho box,
He carried majority Of the votes In
n county that was Overwhelmingly
Republican.
Mr.. Dyer also served year as
secretary Of the Democratic state COM
mittee and was frequently urged TO
take the place on other occasions.
Should there be any doubt concern
ing these statements, a telegram to the
secretary Of state of Wyoming will be
answered and will clear up the matter
or a wire to Senator Warren will fur
ther substantato these statements.
But there will not be a citizen of the
city who will be In further doubt and
II they are heard any more they will

Do.iues.

HARDING DEMANDS

DEMOCRAT INSISTENCE
THAT PARIS AGREEMENT BE
TAKEN SERIOUSLY CANNOT
BE CONSIDERED BY THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE
DEMOCRAT INSISTENCE

Rochester, n. Y. Oct. 21.-Making
his first speech of the campaign in
New York state, Senator Harding
again challenged his Democratic OPP
ponent here today to show by his
public utterances where he has chang
ed his position on the league Of ma
tions since he accepted the Republi-
can nomination.
Re-stating his stand, he declared the
nation cannot take seriously the
nant shall. be considered by accept
ance as it stands" and added that
for such rejection" ne had stood
unfailingly He also asserted that
he had favored consistently IAN in
ternational association in the interest
Of peace" but could not under pres
ent conditions frame definite and
specific plan.
II am not that kind Of candidate"
he continued. 1T is easy enough
for candidate who is going to lose.
TO say almost anything about the
league Ol HdllOHS, UT any luluIe Pioiio
for America.
THE Democratic forces have para
mounted the solemn referendum of
our foreign relations, and we have
gladly accepted, but that does not
blind us TO the fact that it is desig-
mated to divert attention from the
unhappy failure Of Democratic do
mestic administration. The great and
solemn refusal will not make the
American people forget the tragic
mis-management Of their own affairs
because they have long since passed
judgment on our foreign relations.
Surely the American people can
not take seriously the Democratic in
sistence that the Paris covenant shall
still be considered, as a platform and
candidates insist. for acceptance as II
stands. Such rejection has been
twice recorded. / have repeatedly
spoken rejection from the day oi

ing consistency"
