LABOR DAY AT. REVERE.
ABig Crowd, Big Time, and a Field Day
for Candidates for Office.

Revere was one OF the very few
towns in Minnesota that celebrated
Labor Day. Indeed, outside Of the
five or six larger cities Of Mime
sofa, it was probable that the only
town that had a genuine Labor Day
demonstration, and the hundreds of
people who took in the event will
testify that some immense labor was
performed there on that day, and
for several days previous. First OF
all, there was the labor Of its enter
prising citizens. headed by Presi-
dent Emil Rasmussen of the village
council, G. W. Folsom Of the Revere
Record, and H. H. Dahl, who had
charge, in a large measure, of many
OF the street attractions. Doubtless
many others were entitled to credit,
but these stand out conspicuously.
Then, secondly, there was the work
done by the candidates-not neces-
sarily politicians. but simply the
candidates. Their work, as far as
making the occasion memorable
one, was not done until Labor Day,
and when it is known that prac-
tically every candidate for Office
having opposition, with the excep'
ton of Geo. E. Bartholomew Of San
born and L. P. Larson Of Johnson
vile, was present, the public will

land is generally well titled, the
rainfall has been so heavy that con-
siderable corn was drowned out,
giving the fields a bad appearance.

to swap my Minnesota farm for one

through the mountainous New Eng

The scenery was beautiful. New

REDWOOD WINS FROM WESTBROOK.
Takes $50 of Revere Money by Winning
Game Devoid of Special Interest.

The Redwood Falls team took the
big end OF the purse at Revere on
Labor Day. That enterprising little
burg. having lot of rustling busi-
ness men In its midst. made up a
purse of 800 to be played for by
Westbrook and Redwood Falls. the
two teams which had coutended for
supremacy at Lamberton Sunday
or two before. in which Red wood
Falls came out victorious. knowing
tnat such contest must naturally
draw large crowd, if none of the
other interesting attractions would.
The purse was to be divided at the
proportion of so to 40 per cent. The
Redwood team got the so per cent.
The score was to 2, aud despite
the fact that the score was kept
down it was not an Interesting game
for the simple reason that the errors
we're numerous and expensive.
The crowd was large The day
was perfect The grounds were
poor, and the only redeeming fea-
ture of them was that it was as fair
for the goose as it was for the gan
der.

for the reason that he was at Revere
early Mr.. Young spoke second Of
the congressional candidates. and
he stated that the other candidates
were gettinga great deal of glory
out OF the contest by reading news
paper comments favorable to them.
He hoped that his glory would come
at the primaries on the 10Th. Mr..
Young then paid an excellent tri-
butte to labor. saying that nowhere
was there more real, earnest. zeal

Bowling arrived about $40 on a
belated train, and although large
portion OF the crowd had gone to
the ball ground, many remained to
hear him. Mr.. Bowling insisted on
iarring his opponents in quite a
bitter manner, and his speech ex-
cited much unfavorable comment.
Other speakers were Messrs. How
ard, Cooler, Dollif. Harriott and
Hauser, all making favorable re-
marks.
During the afternoon and evening
a large number of streetsports were
called off, many Of them being in
teresting events, none the least be-

which three farmers bound oats

was done that day. The other can
didates wondered where the miss
ing ones were.
But even if the candidates had
not been present the affair would
have been one of immense success,
and the gentlemen in charge have a
right to several bouquets. The
town is not a large one, but it was
prettily decorated, and every citi-
zen seemed to partake OF the feeling
that it was an outing for Labor.
Then there was magnificent street.
parade, in which practically every
business house, elevator, ETC., of
the town. participated, while a
whole lot of boys, and others. added
to the parade by appearing in COM
ical costumes. The Prairie Lawn
Band of Johnsonville, rattling
hue musical organization. composed
of farmer boys, attired in the swell
est kind of uniforms, were present,
and aside from heading the indus
trial parade, they furnished fine
music throughout the day.
After the parade came a program
of speaking. This was carried on
from stand erected at the head of
the principal street President
Emil Rasmussen made the opening
address, aud it was full of brilliant
references to the deeds of labor,
and clever witticisms regarding the
assemblage of the candidates with
the common people on that occasion.
Mr.. Rasmussen also introduced the
different speakers, and the manner
in which he did it gave him au envi-
able reputation as POSTMASTER.
Among those who spoke were A. j.
