CANDY, Mimi, Oct 27.-Never before
in Yellow Medicine county has there
been within the memory of the oldest
pioneer political meeting equal in size
and enthusiasm to that held tonight in
the town hall addressed by Gov Lind.
1t is pronounced by all parties to sur
pass beyond all comparison any event in
spired by any political party and over
shadows all the rallies of the present
campaign by most remarkable odds The
only disappointing feature of the occa-
sion was the lack of building sufficient
in proportions to afford even standing
room for all who thronged the entrance
seeking to gain admission into the hall.
The auditorium was packed, there not
being room even in the windows, all
of which We're raised and crowded with
anxious listeners. Gov. Lind spoke for
about one hour and a half and was lis
tened to by every one present with pro-
foundest attention. It was an eventful
day for Candy, for Yellow Medicine couu-
ty and for the Democracy OF Western
Minnesota. The city of Candy is so
overwhelmingly Republican that but for
ty-seven votes were cast here two years
ago for Gov. Lind and the county, also
formerly strongly Republican, renders
the event of tonight still the more phe-
nomenal Former Republican Candidate
for Governor Eustis addressed the peo-

such demonstration as that which took
place tonight.
CHEERED FOR LIND.
Gov. Lind reached Candy at 6:3O this
evening A dense and wildly enthusiastic
crowd met the train and tremendous
cheers arose when the governor hrst
came into view, which did not cease for
several minutes It was the with great l.
est difficulty that the reception commit
tee succeeded in getting the governor
through the crowd to the hotel. All
along the road throughout the day, frcm
Rochester, the governor was treated
to one grand ovation. Not a station was
passed but that crowds stood upon til.
platforms eager to get a glimpse of Gov
Lind Most of these crowds of people
were given the fruition of their hopes
and besides the privilege of meeting the
governor and shaking his hand as he
yielded in most instances to the demand
made upon him to step from the car
during the short stop. At two places OH
the trip, Mankato and Tracy, Gov Lind
delivered brief addresses. He was met
by a reception cotnmittee. The local
band and a crowd of citizens escorte 1
him to a public sduare. where he talked
for about ten minutes TO thousands Of
people.
A CONTINUOUS OVATION.
At Tracy he spoke about the same
length of time from the rear end of the
train. Here at least 1,5OO were present
and gave him a grand reception. At
Marshall, Mimi, Walnut Grove and va
rious other places enthusiastic demon
strations took place through the strip
of country. GCv. Lind is known person.
ally by the great bulk of people, ard it
was not an infrequent thing to hear
friendly cries of Hello, John. Good
luck to you" Gov. Lind's overwhelming
popularity through this strongly Repub-
lican district could not have been more
forcibly demonstrated. A short distance
outside of Walnut Grove the Bryan and
Lind club, accompanied by the local
band, boarded the train in honor of gov
ernor and remained with him until
Tracy was reached. A magnificent scene
was witnessed when Gov. Lind started
tonight for the town hall, where his
speech was delivered. An escort of sew
eral hundred citizens accompanied him
y to the hall, the Candy and Providence
bands, one preceding and one followig.
The governors carriage was drawn by
four horses.
TORCHLIGHT> PARADE.
and fully 300 others formed in line ana
marched to the hall Long before this a
vast throng had planted itself for sew
eral rods in front of the hall, and upon
the governors arrival it was almost i'm
possible to force a passageway through
the dense crowd. Several members of
the reception committee were required
to effect an entrance for the honored
executive 1t was a scene without par
allel in the history of this county, and
might be of some assistance to political
prognasticat,ons in their attempt to eiuci-
date the situation in this section OF the
state. The audience, which was CON-
posed mostly of voters, included large
number of farmers and citizens of other
communities, who had come several
miles, leaving their homes early in the
day in order to reach Candy in time for
the occasion. Gov. Lind was introduced
by DR. Mickey, one of the prominent
local Democrats. Although the governor
had been laboring under painful di-a3-
vantages from throat trouble for the
past two days his voice showed much
Improvement, and he delivered forcefu
and convincing speech, in keeping with
the preliminary demonstrat ton. The au-
dience maintained the same spirit of en-
thusiasm to the last of the address. 1t
was as attentive an audience, too, as
has been faced by Gov. Lind this cam
paign. most sympathetic spirit was
manifested without interruption.
FAVORS FOR NONE
Gov. Lind said that he has been ac-
cused of imposing unequal taxation upon
Republicans who are large lumber deal
ers Great applause was evoked when
the governor vehemently declared that
lumbermen and every other wealthy con-
cern would have to meet their just share
of taxation so long as he remained in the
governors chair. He said 1t is not his
fault if all these great lumber trust
magnates are Republicans, and he pro-
posed to perform his duty without Con-
sidering party affiliations. The governor
dealt fairly and squarely with the i'm
portant state<issues. making a thorcufh
and complete exposition OF al the ques-
tions discussed. He ignored the mcay
attacks made upon him last night by
Eustis, and consumed all his time IN
giving hs audience the benefit of a clear
and honest argument upon actual i lsR
which take precedence over the idle per
sonalfties forming the basis of his op-
