drawn in salary or fees, for all these
many years.

1t Will not do to have the Republicans
funk on their local meetings. and ac-
oordingly 1t Is proposed to have the
opening meeting Of the county cam
paign at Mozart hall Wednesday night
Market hall was too large, 80 the pro-
tected meeting planned for next Mon

The Republicans will try to arouse a
little enthusiasm with meeting at UNI
versity and Harrington avenues tomor-

Intense interest is manifested in the

The well known French orator. John
B. Paradis, who made his, first appear
ance for the Democratic ticket in this
city on Oct. ard speaks tonight In
Duluth, will have powerful influence
among his people. A prominent Can

A Lind and Gray club was organized
in Minneapolis with F. G. Sasse, chair
man; w. B. Mcintyre, vice president;
N. G. Robinson, secretary, and H. G..
Hopp, sergeant-at-arms. Meetings will
be held once each week The club
numbers about seventy members to
date. They will march in a body to
the meeting at the exposition building
MONDAY night.
A Republican who has recently trav-
eled through the Seventh congressional
district, gives as the result Of his OBJ
servation Of matters political that the
district can be safely counted upon to
give a small majority for the Republi-
can state ticket, although he admits
that the fight between Ringdal and
Eddy for congressional honors will
probably be altogether too close to suit
a loyal Republican.
One Of the worst things which the
Republican state ticket has to combat
up there said he, sis the feeling
spread broadcast through the district
to the effect that Eustis will fail to
carry Hennepin and Ramsey counties.
The average Seventh district Repub-
lican naturally feels little inclined to
work very hard for a candidate who
is apt to fail to carry his own county
and congressional district, especially
when the county and district are
normally Republican"
The people of Stephen want to hear
John Lind speak when he takes his
trip north and they are -endeavoring
to secure his presence there at 2 p. M,
the day he speaks in Warren.
Wheaton promises to turn out
large crowd on the occasion of the Lind
meeting there Oct. 1S. The local COM
mittees are finding the greatest en-
thusiasm for the cause of the reform
forces and Mr.. Lind especially is sure
of a cordial reception in Traverse
