New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-10-12
POLITICS..
Scraps of Information Incident to the Open.
ing of the Campaign.

Between October 10th and October
21st this state will be canvassed by Hon.
John Lind. His time is brief, but the
reception which awaits him everywhere
will be in the nature of an ovation, such
as was never accorded candidate for
governor in this state before.
Monday night Mr.. Lind addressed the
voters of Minneapolis.
Last night he talked at Duluth, city
that always turns out thousands to hear
him.
His dates for the balance of the week
are as follows:
Cokato, October 18th; St. Cloud, even
ing of the 18th; Hallock, afternoon of
the 18th; Warren, evening of the 14th;
Crookston, evening of the 18th; Moor
head, October 18th; Wheaton, afternoon
of the 18th; Graceville, evening of the
18th; Benson, October 18th; Willmar,
afternoon of the Goth; Litchfeld, even
ing of the Goth.
Thus it will be seen, that as far as
arranged, three of Mr.. Llnd's speeches
are to be made in Towne's district, one
in the Fourth district and the balance in
the Seventh.
The trip will entail some energetic
work, as it amounts to making thirteen
addresses in as many different communi-
ties, in eleven days, only ten of which
are to be utilized, through the fact that
Sunday must, of course, interrupt. 1t is
certain, however, that the tour will he, in
one sense at least,a triumphal one. The
committees in charge of the local meet
ings say that immense crowds are prom
ised IN every case, for the bulk of the
meetings are in districts where Charles
A. Towne and P. M. Ringdahl, the con-
gressional nominees, have prepared the
people for the advent of Mr.. Lind.
On the 22nd Mr.. Lind will have to re-
turn to New Ulm to attend to his official
duties while the regiment is being must
cred out.
Towards the close Of the campaign, it
is almost certain that he will be able to
make Tour of the southern and eastern
portion of the state.
Sam Peterson says he will not make
an active campaign, principally for lack
,of time. He has invited Us to be pres
.ent at his political funeral on the 9Th of
November, and with all our blandness
we promised to accommodate him.
The democratic and populist county
committees have nominated Ole Synste-
by for county commissioner in the Lin
-Hanska- Cottonwood district.
The fusion candidates for Legislative
and county Offices met at Springfield
Wednesday afternoon and arranged to
enter upon vigorous campaign. Head
quarters have already been opened in
New Ulm with Editor Johnson in charge,
and the prospects seem bright for victo-
ry all along the line.
Eugene Fernholz, whose nomination
oy the fusionists tor auditor, came to him
as surprise, has concluded to accept.
He is bright and talented young man,
thoroughly competent and strictly hon
est. His present position as clerk in the
bank a. Springfield has fitted him in
every way for the responsible duties of
auditor, and we feel confident, that, if
elected, he will serve the county we'll.
The Minneapolis Travelling Mems
Lind Club has only been in existence
week but it already has over sixty men,
bers. The question of the 5000 mile
book, which Mr.. Lind opposed while in
congress, will be given thorough expla-
nation and letters will be reproduced
which were written to HIM by jobbers
and manufacturers of the northwest urg-
ing him to use his influence to defeat q
measure that they considered inimical to
their interests. .--. -. r.
As straw showing the direction of
the political wind, Judge Willis has re-
ceived the list of members of Lind and
Willis club recently organized in Chisa-
go county. The club numbers seventy
voters and very few of them ever sup
ported anything but the republican tick
ct straight. 49,.
At Dawson, too, Lind club was or
ganized with fo1ty~five members, nearly
all republicans. When the, republican
candidate for senator in that district saw
his clerks and relatives putting on. Lind

doing SO, but they SIMPLY told him that
