Speech.
REMARKS BY C.. N. ANDREWS.
Both Well Received By the Aud
fence, Who Appreciated the y
Absence of Politics.


Wednesday, the fair association
was favored by the presence of
Hon. L. A. Rosing, democratic candi-
date for governor and c. N. An
drews Of Mankato candidate for
congress from this district. The
entire attendance gathered to hear
these two gentlemen.
Mr.. Rosing, after thanking the
association for the invitation to the
fair said, in part, when he asked the
state committee what subject he
was to talk on. He was told to
try anything but politics that was
to be left out entirely. AS he travel
ed through the different parts of
the state was impressed with It's
great resources. Talk about great
state, Mobiles county is a good
sample of the state. In 1871 the
entire county barely produced what
one farm now produces. In that
year there were only IA horses,
now 5000. 255 COWS now over 5000
He gave statistics on grain. Only
thing the county had decreased in
was oxen. In 1871 there were $50
now ony SO. Another evidence of
property the farmer. all come to the
far in their carriages drawn by
fine fat horses with shining harness.
The northern portion of the state
has the mineral product, west Of
there timber from which paper is
made, farther west the great wheat
fields dotted with prosperous towns;
south from there the granite
abounds, you know what there is in
southern Minnesota.
We should feel grateful to the
pioneers for making the state what
it is. We have magnificent schools
at our very doors and in which
should be taught geography and the
magnitude of our resources. This
state is composed of great stock
holders of which there will be. a
meeting the 4th. Of November. 1t
will be a time for a careful we'll
considered verdict that we may
leave a record for generations to
succeed us. Loud applauses.
Time 20 minutes. ::
C.M. Andrews in part said: The
association is to be congratulated
upon some things and chided for
some. 1t was they were able to select
a clear and bright day but ought to
have se]eced a calm one. Next year
they might be able to eliminate this.
The new fair was very complete in
all of it's details including fat live
stock. There was a fat exhibit that
ought receive the blue ribbon. They
had had Clapp, were to have Van
SAINT, have Rosing and myself all OF
whom are thoroughbred prize
winners. There are splendid crops
of agricultural products and splen-
did crop of politicians who are
verdant in September is cut down
in Sept I am not much of a farmer
but presume ! am speaking to
farmers. I wonder how many
farmres there are here who give
their boys and girls the same atten-
ton as crops and stock. Man;
farmers with bright yonug sons and
daughters who have much intellect.
do not receive near the attention
and care that much of the farm
stock does. These people have
heard the whistle but never rode
on the train to visit our large cities.
They. are, handicapped when they
come to go out in the world beca use
Of their inexperience in the world.no
wonder the unsophisticated youth
falls a prey in the cities. Have you
even brought them 20 the fair. He
brought his address to- close by
reciting the advantages of the agri-
cltural school. Loud applause,
time 20 minutes.
That portion referring to the boys
and girls is particularly truein many
cases
In the evening an informal meeting
was held in Stitser Hall which a
