WITH THE CIGARS.
President Smith Hall. Of the Minne-
apolis club. presided. and to his right
was seated DIR. Conway, president of the
st. Paul club, and to his left Mayor
Eustis.
The speechmaking was set rolling
with the advent of the cigars, and Presi-
dent Hall first introduced Mayor Eustis,
who complimented Mr.. Hall on his
powers as speaker. and he then ex-
tended cordial welcome to the visitors,
who were given the freedom of the citv.
He was glad, he said.to he present with
such a representative body of news
paper men, who represented force that
stood for the power of civilization. The
press stood out fearlesslv as the perpet-
ual champion of free thought. and
where it held sway there could be no
persecution of ideas, and its power could
no more be stopped than the suppress
sion of light or electricity. The mayor
was at his best, and his remarks were
enthusiastically received.
