the occasion of Mayor Ames' first campaign
speech In his home. On the stage erected
Tor the purpose. nearly half way down the
side OF the rink, sat the manly form of our
next governor. To look at him no one
would suppose for second that he had
performed such herculean work throughout
the entire state, in sowing the seed which has
sprung up and is fast ripening for the DEM
ocratlc harvest of the second of next month.
At his right sat Col Thomas O'Leary, the
candidate for clerk of the supreme court,
and next was A. f. Nordn, the silver
tongued orator. who has been in the har-
ness continually since
THE oUTRAGES
of tn Republican convention forced him in
all honor and political manhood to renounce
the party in which he has been so long an
important factor. Also OH the stage were
Judge Lars NJ Rand. who will be lifted to
the Office of judge of probate by iudicious
public next Tuesday and Hon. A. T. An
keny, an old wheelhorse of Democracy
and now member of the state
executive committee The audience was
highly representative, although largely
composed of the labOring element.
1t was not new speech that Mayor AmeS
delivered. That is, the essential points
were the same as he has made on his tour,
yet it was new to his fellow townsmen.
save those who have read the GLOBE, and
it had telling effect. Mayor AmeS' recep-
ton was characterized by
THUNDERS OF APPLAUSE
and rousing cheers. q. A. Chase. Demo
cratic candidate for the state legislature in
the Twenty-eighth district. was called to
the chair. He thanked his audience. and
at once introduced 'our next governor"
This proposition aroused cheers, and as the
mayor uttered his first sentence the rink
again echoed with cheers and applause.
The mayor paid his respects to ring rule,
and gave his hearers a little history. and
related events of last springs campaign
and the expenditure of S33, 900 in repair
ing the city hall. building that could be
erected from the ground for less money.
When he repeated the calumny heaped
upon his friends in that Fergus Falls speech,
in which it was alleged that only bog
trOtterS'' supported him. he compared it with
the campaign cries of last spring. with
which the opposition attempted to defeat
him, such as 1.-The 81 head'' and
THE LOWER STRATA"
In dealing with the throwing by
subsidized press, the doctor said that next
Tuesday the labOring men of the state
would turn on a twO-inch hose loaded with
ballots. and wash off every veStige of
filth. Concluding his address, Mayor
Ames was again loudly cheered. and A. f.
Nordin was introduced. Mr.. Nordin was
warmly received. After short but elo-
quent introduction, he spoke for a moment
in his native tongue and was vOciferouSly
applauded by the ScandinavianS. of which
nationality therere were hundreds in the
vast audience. Mr.. NOrdin's fluent tongue
and dramatic style was remark
ably effective, and the witty anec-
dOtes he related to illustrate the
theme of his address kept his hearers
in perpetual laughter. He is wonderful
diaIectition and apt in recitation, and the
beauty of the whole is the appropriate and
pat way he has of employing stories,
and they had
STRONG EFFECT.
He spoke as Republican who had stood
steadfasth over thirty years to his first
party choice. but who had become so alb
sOlutely disguised by the corruption he had
Haunted in his face and he could not
stomach it. In Litchticld he had been
charged with vaScillatiOn, which he related
as follows: l was asked how it was that
could change my shirt so easily.
20, don't know, said |; Il just went
up stairs and changed my shirt, and it took
me half hour to do the job"
THAT is not what mean." he replied.
Il refer to your political shirt"
''Oh, that's what you mean. Now, my
friend, l can easily explain the whole
thing. | wore that Republican shirt for
thlTty-nine years and it became so foul and
rotten that it made ME sick at my StOm-
ach." Of course this produced round of
applause. Col. D Leary next addressed the
assemblage. He mentioned his own war
record and said. unlike his friend, Mr.. Nor
din, he had always been a Democrat and
was proud of it. He said the creation of
monOpolieS creates anarchy. BY piling up
MILLIONS OF CAPITAL
to the detriment of and to impoverish the
laboring mel breeds first discomfort and
then strikes, often eliminating in riot and
bloodshed. The colonel spoke of the re-
cent strike and severely criticised the atti-
tude of the Milwaukee railway police in at
lacking the SwitchmIen who had no desire
or intention of committing depredations.
He referred to the infeXible control the
corporations have in legislative halls.
The representatives sent by a con-
fding people to st. Paul to make
and amend laws are merely the tools of the
mOnopoliSts and wealthy corporations. and
that they will not legislate contrary to the
wishes and interests of the monopolsts.
Col. O'Leary delivered a very pleasing ad-
dress and was logical and argumentatve
from the beginning to the end. The rally
ended with excellent speeches by Judge
Rand and 4. I. Ankeny. The latter urged
the masses to participate in the torchlight
procession next Saturday night, and to see
that everybody is registered.
