sure as the sun will rise again."
That is the way j. j. McCatferty, who
has just returned from fortnight's
campaigning tour with the Democratic
gubernatorial nominee, talks. He bases
his prediction upon the magnificent
and significant Ovations that Mr.. Law
Ter is receiving everywhere, and upon
the general talk in the country towns
throughout the state.
Mr. McCafferty started out with Mr..
LAWYER two weeks ago yesterday, and
since then the two gentlemen have
made thorough tour of the northern
and western parts of the state. speaking
in two. three and four towns every day.
In the northern part of the state, where
the railroad facilities are not of the
best, they utilized wagons, hand-cars
and freight trains as a means of con-
veyance from town to town.
1T was hard work." said Mr. McCaf-
ferty to a GLOBE reporter Yesterday,
but when the votes are counted on the
night OF Nov. s. we will find sufficient
balm in a glorious victory to heal all
physical bruises sustained in the ar
duous, but inspiring campaign. | tell
you this is great campaign and one
that bodies defeat for the Republican
party. L accompanied Mr.. Lawler on
campaign tours 2. 4, 6 and years ago,
and | ought to be able to make a signif-
can't comparison of this campaign with
those of past years. Take the presiden-
tlal campaign of four years ago as
criterion. The meetings addressed by
Mr.. Lawler and myself then were of no
mean dimensions, but they appear as
mere boys play compared with the
meetings we have had in this campaign.
Why, the opera houses, court houses
and school houses are not half large
enough
To Hold the Crowds,
that come to hear Dan Lawler talk this
year. 1t is the same i'll every tOwn-an
immense crowd, a public ovation, STIR
ring speech and deafening applause
We were told in great many places
that more than half of our audience was
made up of Republicans and Peoples
party men. And these men are going
to vote for Cleveland and Lawler, too.
hundreds OF them came to us after the
meetings and told us that they were
going to switch from the Repub-.
lican and Peoples parties. Every
where we went everybody told
US that our meetings were the largest of
any kind ever held in the county. 1t is
significant fact that a great many
ladies turned out to our meetings. They
not only attended the meetings, but
they decorated the halls i'll beautiful
style everywhere. When the ladies take
such an interest In a political campaign,
you can rest assured that the men take
even greater interest.
We went as far north as HallOck,
which is only twenty miles this side or
the Canadian border. Mr.. Lawler was
given an ovation of the greatest kind in
this far northern town. We spoke at
HallOck in the afternoon anu then took
hand car and went to Stephens for
the evening. The meeting at Stephens
WAS held in the school house, which was
protusely, decorated. The crowd was
simply immense and the enthusiasm
knew no bounds. After the meet
ing was over Mr.. Lawler was given
banquet by the citizens of the place.
The next morning we rode in a wagon
to Argyle, where we had an immense
meeting at 10 O'Clock. That same after
noon we had great demonstration at
Warren, and then drove twenty-fOur
miles to Red Lake Falls for an evening
meeting. We did not get to Red Lake
Falls until nearly 10 o'clock, but the
crowd waited for us. 1t was 10 O'clock
when Mr.. LAWYER appeared on the plat
form. and the house was packed with
men and women who had waited there
A Pleasing Incident.
II want to tell you of one particularly
pleasing incident. Last Saturday we
spoke at Hartman in the forenoon and at
Gracevile in the afternoon. We drove
out OF Hartman about noon, and when
we were about half way to Graceville
we were met by four carriage loads of
business men and brass band
from the latter place. They
turned around and escorted us to
Graceville, the band playing all the
while as we drove through the country.
When we drove into the town you would
have thought from the wildly euthusi-
astic demonstration that Dan Lawler
was the president of the United States.
AT MOntevideo we had the pleasure
of witnessing a Democratic torchlIght
procession that exceeded in magnitude
any of the kind l had ever seen in this
state. AT Alexandria, Knute Nelson's
home. our meeting was simply immense,
the hall being packed almost to SutfOca
ton.
I'VE travelled on freight trains some
times, and at way stations we were fire.
quently met at the depot by immense
crowds and brass bands. In cases of
this kind Mr.. Lawler would get out OH
the depot platform and talk to the crowd
during the Ten or fifteen minutes that
the train stopped. We had many good
meeting in that way.
In the Seventh district we were ac-
companied by w. F. Kelso, the con-
gressional candidate. Mr.. Kelso is ex-
ceedingly popular in his district. and he
is making winning campaign. He is
a splendid speaker, and he is telling his
neighbOrS some good straight truths. |
believe he will carry the district.
''As to Cleveland, l am as sure that
he will carry Minnesota as | am that
Dan Lawler will be elected. Up through
the country you don't hear the farmers
talking Weaver. No, sir: they're all
talking Cleveland. and they're going to
vote for Cleveland. If the Twin Cities
do as well as the country, Minnesota
will give Cleveland and Lawler big ma
jorities."
