Mr.. Lind
Campaign. !.
It Will Be Opened With Monster Meet
ing in Minneapolis on the
:" 10th Of October.
He Sets at Rest the Structures Upon His
Course as Quartermaster.

Candidate Lind visited the Twin Cit
les Thursday and arranged with the COM
mittee to open his campaign in Mime
apolis on the 10th of October. IT, ~
The meeting will be held at the Expo
sltion building and is sure to be mons
ter gathering of the Twin City voters. +.
= To Globe reporter he said he had no
doubt that by the date set for the Min
neapolis meeting he would be free from
his military obligations and entirely un-
handicapped IN his crusade fer the free
ing of Minnesota from machine misrule.
"This will be the case for two weeks,
at least" he said. s'I have informed the
state central committee that will be at
their disposal between October 10th and
October 2snd, and probably from octob-
ser 26th to election day." .:.. :,,...
Regarding the structures upon his
course as quartermaster by the fault
finding editor of the Fairmont News,
Mr.. Lind stated to Times representa-
tive that, while he knew clothing, shoes
and fodder furnished him were not up
to grade, he had no choice but to &C
cept them.
"Had I refused to accept the fod-
der" said he, sbecause it was short
weight, our animals would have starved );
and as to the clothing, the men must
have taken it or nothing. Had refused
to accept it there would have been the
usual amount of red tape,and before the
supplies finally arrived the boys would
have been compelled to 90 barefooted
and in rags for weeks.
Mr.. Lind would not say what he ex-
pected the outcome of the campaign to
be. He did remark, however, that he
was proud of the platform upon which
he was nominated. "a platform, which
so frankly and honestly and earnestly
emphasizes the vital living issues which
touch the people of the state closest,
cannot but commend itself to the honest
admiration of thinking, serious men,"
He thought that the republicans had
made mistake by avoiding state issues
IN their platform. In state election
the people are 1aore interested, or should
be, in the attitude of parties to the ques-
tons thai concern them directly at home
than they are in abstract propositions of
national government. 3. ...~
Both in St. Paul and Minneapolis the
candidate received a great number of
callers who came to shake hands with
HIM and wish him well. ... ~ .+..
