WILLMAR. Oct. 23.-(Special Fri
| day night the hero of Guaranty Loan
and my-policy fame appeared on the
stump for the first time before the
! citizens of Willmar. An audience Of
| over 1000 men, women and children
| filed the hall to it's utmost capacity
| and listened attentively for two hours
and a half to the C. 0. P. candidate
| for governor.
A more respectful, intelligent and
| withal critical audience never faced
| Mr.. Eustis yet in his journeyings At
hrst 1t was disposed to admire the
| speaker and literally applaud his rhet-
oric. But all at once the speaker turn
| ed to personal remarks about Lind, and
| proceeded to state that Mr.. Lind was
only little distance away from the
! Republican fold. and at the headquar-
! ters Of the G. O. P. caravansarX were
IAN empty stall, a feed box full Of oats.
and a halter for him to put on" as
| soon as he Nlnd) should return, which
! he no doubt would do before long.
Only a little distance out" he said,
John Lind will soon return and take
| his oats"
SHOCKS THE AUDIENCE.
To say that this gross and yet real
| istic illustration Of the speakers train
Of thought shocked the audience is
putting it mildly. Two-thirds of the
! audience were warm admirers of Lind,
! and to have it suggested to them that
! LInds opinions on political questions
| were simply a matter of a feed was
| indeed putting 1t on a little too thick
AND then here was man out seeking
| the votes of Intelligent men for the
| hlgheSt office IN the state whose CEN
| trail idea of politics was focused around
! stall, a feed Of oats and a halter!
| The various emotions of wonder be-
| Wllderment scOrn, contempt and sur
| prise that swept over the audience at
| THIS time, and quite evident to the
! most carelessly observed were a. sight
| never to be forgotten. The audience
fairly stared, wondering what would
! come next.
GOOD TIMES HAD COME.
| The next emphatic statement from
the speaker was that the good times
| promised before election in 1896 by the
! Republicans had come. There were
a few farmers in the audience, and a
! look towards several of them discover
! ca broad sickly grin on their faces.
5000 tunes come! Yes, to the sleek
! fat officehOlder, present and prospec-
| tive, but to the farmer who now sells
! ms wheat at less than it cost to raise
1t and has his net loss on his farm
ing operations increased by unfair and
VICIOUS state inspection and gradi.gi
He next proceeded to tell the farmers
what The real trouble was with them.
Said he, with all the emphasis he
! could command: you farmers blame
mckinley and Almighty God for low
wheat prices. when the only trouble
with you is that you don't have brains
enough to know when to sell yOur
wheat This idea is undoubtedly orig
1naI With w. H. Eustis, and vital. too.
as ne repeated the statement again and
again with great emphasis
THE AUDIENCE PARALYzED.
This novel diagnosis of the disease
OF dissatisfied farmers simply paralyzed
the audience. Men with any kind of
common sense, Republicans as we'll as
REQUESTS simply sank back in their
seats in a daze. Even the kids in the
pack part OF the hall the Republican
Eustls felt that something was out of
Joint, and instead Of shouting they sim
ply emitted a sickly squeak
After talking thus two long hours
ne hnaIIy came to discussing the Dues
ton as to what constituted the great
and overwhelming and only real issue
IN this campaign. Little by little, as
the audience came to from their aston
Ishment at his former statements. sew
ehdl or the hearers began to crane their
necks and prepare themselves for the
shock OF the next great announcement.
1T came with the pomposity and dig
nifty worthy Of the subject Hearken:
THE moral effect of this guberna-
toTal outcome on November the Sth
on the royal courts of Europe" That
was the great issue. Elect me gov
| error of this state. he said, in effect,
| and reiterated it in different ways. with
great emphasis, and you will indorse
| Mckinley and make the nations of Eu
rope tremble. He didn't say so in so
many words, but the Inference he
wanted to leave was this: Elect John
Lind governor of this state and the
foreign nations will say: 80, MinnesO-
| ia elected only a Swede for governor.
Now we shall lick the Yankees"
NO EUSTIS FOR KANDIYOHI.
You may put 1t down for a certainty
that EUstts' speech here has virtually
killed the G. o. P. state and local tick
cts in this county at this election. John
Lind's plain, manly and straightfor-
ward appearance and address the day
before Eustis was here had the effect
Of contrasting the two gubernatoriaI
! candidates in q, vivid manner, and dem
| onEtrating the absolute necessity that
every decent man stand by Lind.
You can put it down that John Lind
Will carry this county by at least LOCO
majority, and that every man who
fights Lind, if up for office, will find
he has the old man Of the sea
chained to his back.
