JOHNSON PRESENTS LIMBS NAME
1t was decided to proceed at once with
the nomination for governor. John A.
johnson, of Mankato, made the speech
nominating the candidate for governor,
The name Of his candidate. awoke the
widest enthusiasm, and the speaker was
forced to wait some time for this en-
thusiasm to expend itself. Mr.. johnson
spoke as follows:
ut would be useless, indeed, fer me,
gentlemen, to extol the man whose name
l am going to present to you as candi-
date for governor of Minnesota. His
work, his record is too we'll known to
every one of you. But yet I feel that It
would be ungrateful to you, to him, to
myself, if 1 did not tell you why the
Democracy of Minnesota and the fusion
forces Of the state look to him as their
state leader. He is the only man who
has stood On the threshold of the gov
| ernor's Office of this state, like Horatius
on the bridge, with the people on one
side and greedy corporations on the ether,
and protected with all his9 strength the
people from the corporations greed. Gen
| tlemen, no enthusiasm like that which
you have displayed here today has ever
been seen at a convention before. We
are not only going to reject John Lind
governor Of Minnesota, butiwe are going
to fill the state house, from governor
down to railroad commissioners, with
Democrats. Honest john Lind is the
only man who has forced the railroads
to come to him, and to make their sched-

of this convention, 1 take the deepest
pleasure in presenting to you the name of
John Lind for governor of Minnesota
HENNEPIN SECONDS LIND.
Before Mr.. Johnson was seated, the con-
vention was on its feet, yelling madly.
Hats, handkerchiefs, umbrellas-every-
thing wavable was waved, and it was
only lack of breath that quieted the
tumult.
P. B. Winston. of Hennepin county,
seconded the nomination I'VE knew John
Lind two years ago in our county" said
Mr.. Winston, "and we gave him 5000 ma
jority. We know him better now, and I
predict that Minneapolis and HennepNl
county will give him a majority that will
make that 5000 look trifie.
JONES MADE A HIT.
G, P. Jones, of Rock county, in seconding
Linds nomination on behalf of his dele
cation, made one of the speeches of the
afternoon. 1t made the convention very
well acquainted with Mr.. Jones, and they
cheered his address to the echo.
THE delegation of Rock county" said
Mr.. Jones, represents the southwestern
forces of the state. 1t is the part of the
state that has been most blessed by John
Lind's Administrations Because of his

grain $S5O,OO0, and thus, give the poor
farmer chance. He is the best governor
that Minnesota has ever had. Not flaw
can be picked in his administration. No
machine has governed it, no wire pullers
have married it. His heart beats with the
steady beat of the woodman's ak and
the steady ciink of the miners pick. He
