ST. PAUL DEMOCRATS JOURNEY
TO MINNEAPOLIS in CHAR
TERED CARS
MONSTER RECEPTION FOR
JOHN LIND AND J. C. HAYNES
Ramsey County Contingent of 200, Ae-
companed by It's Band, Joins in
Great Demonstration for Sister City's
Congressional and MayoraIty Candi-
dates at Exposition Building.

Two hundred st. Paul Democrats,
headed by the Great Western band,
went to Minneapolis last night to as
sist 5000 Minneapolis citizens in a
great popular demonstration for John
Lind, candidate for congress from the
Fifth district, and J. G. Haynes, Dem
ocratic candidate for mayor of the Mill
City.
The trip of the Ramsey county Dem
ocrats was as pleasant as unusual. 1t
has not been a common practice for
the citizens of the two cities to join in
actual political cooperation. This
year the Democrats of the state are
thoroughly aroused. Every man has
his shoulder to the wheel and every
where Democrats are pulling together
for the common good. The st. Paul
party was piloted to Minneapolis I'M
der the guidance Of Secretary Michael
Redding, of the city and county Or
ganization, and former Secretary M. r.
Kahn.
A crowd Of 1000 congregated at the
Ryan hotel to witness the departure Of
the st. Paul delegation and it's band in
three chartered cars. The trip to the
Exposition building, Minneapolis, was
made direct, and despite a late start,
the st. Paul party arrived only a few
minutes behind it's scheduled time.
Big Building Is Filled.
It was a great meeting characters
tic of the spirit in which the people
of Minneapolis have gone into the bat
tie for the rights of the people of the
state and nation and to relieve their
city Of the sins Of the administration
which have made its name synonym
for municipal corruption. Aside from
the seats on the platform reserved for
the st. Paul delegation, the big EXPOSE
ton building was filled at o'clock.
The big auditorium has never been
more tastefully decorated for a politi-
cal meeting. The ceilings and side
walks were drapped in the national
colors. The large supporting columns
under the galleries were hung with
tricolored bunting and the front of the
stage was masked behind a wall of
palms. Over the center Of the pros
cenium and under a national flag hung
a portrait Of Leonard A. Rosing franz
ed in red, white and blue. To the left
of the speakers stand, which was COW
cred with cut flowers, stood portrait
Of former Gov. Lind, the supporting
easel draped in the tricolor.
The stage was given over to 300
prominent Minneapolis Democrats,
their ladies and the st. Paul contingent.
One of the sections Of the main floor
was occupied by the University Jones
club, 800 strong and it's military band.
The candidates present were Frank
Larrabee, George P. Jones and Maj. j..
M. Bowler. John l.. Gieske, candidate
for congress from the Fourth district,
sat with the st. Paul delegation.
Among the local candidates and prom
inent Democrats on the stage, were
John Hageman, Matthew Walsh, DR.. G..
F. Kicker, w. H. Williams, L. r. Than,
w. III. Vanderburg, Rev. ]. L. Cleary,
A. B. Choate. Michael Neary presided.
Enthusiasm Runs High.
The big audience, which included
many Republicans, was enthusiastic to
a degree and especially demonstrative
at every reference to the Democratic
candidate for governor, Leonard A.
Rosing, who has proved as party stan
dard bearer the same magnetic leader
he was as chairman Of the state, CEN
trail committee and manager of the
three marvellous campaigns last made
by the Democrats of Minnesota. 1t was
strictly Lind and Haynes meeting,
and they were the only speakers on
the programme, but before the meeting
closed the other candidates were called
upon for brief speeches.
Former Gov. Lind's address was a
masterful and concise exposition Of the
existing commercial and political con-
ditions and a relentless exposition or
the policy of government which has
built up the trust system. He riddled
the high protective tariff policy and
conclusively showed how it has worked
harm to the masses of the whole coun-
try in general and retarded the in
terests of st. Paul and Minneapolis in
particular. He made a strong plea for
reciprocal treaties with Canada and
Cuba and pointed out specific instances
of commercial losses to Minneapolis
and the state through the operations Of
the tariff law.
Natural Center of Manufactures.
He said the Twin Cities are the nat
ural gateway in the center or the
greatest arabic plain in the world.
Their citizens may trade over terri
tory extending southwark 2,0O0 miles,
restricted only by the natural opera
tions Of competition put forward by
Chicago, ST. Louis, Kansas City and
there are no natural competitors. They
would be the masters of the great
trade from the Mississippi river to the
Arctic ocean if it were not for the ar
tificiaI barrier American shortsighted-
ness has erected 300 miles north Of
them.
Trade Is now conducted on the lines
of longitude rather than latitude. With
the tariff barrier removed trade would
Of 10
the Twin Cities become the great CEN
tiers of manufactures nature has
equipped them for. With natures CEN
ter of trade within it's boundaries the
citizens of Minnesota as rational peo-
ple should strive for the formulation
of policies as broad as their oppor-
tunities. He brought home his argu-
ment to the Minneapolis portion or his
audience by showing how through the
operation Of the tariff local manu-
featuring concern had been obliged to
bI1ild a branch factory in Canada,
thereby depriving Minneapolis of the
value of it's product and it's working
men of a large amount in wages. In
Gov. Lind spoke feelingly
Of Mr.. Rosing. He said
Warmly Praises Rosing.
Leonard A. Rosing was my private
me while I was governor, I know him
well. He was not only my friend; he
was my counsellor. can say without
hesitancy that he is a man with Gull
tured capable, active mind; well in
formed, progressive; at the same time
He passes quick and ie-
cisive judgment and he executes with
q will power I have rarely seen
Anything in my adminisJTa-
ton that the people of the state are
pleased and satisfied with I fully grant
to Mr.. Rosing his due proportion of
the credit, for I did no act while gov
ernor Of this state that l did not sub
nit to the counsel and consideration Of
Mr. Rosing."
Mr.. Haynes held his audience,
pleased and enthusiastic, for a half
hour. His was a talk, man to man, with
the citizens of Minneapolis who have
groaned under nnaladministration and
