1.-THE West" he said, rs awakening
to the facts that Republican promises
of tariff revision, made regularly with
every campaign, are just as regularly
broken. The Republicans iOf Iowa and
Wisconsin have sounded 'the note Of
revolt, and in Iowa SO emphat1caHy
that Henderson, one 70 OPS the high
priests at the trusts altar of protec-
ton, was forced to retire from the con-
gressional field or suffer ignominious
defeat
Mr.. Rosing's discussion of state is
sues and the states needs was thor
ough and incisive. He exposed the po-
litical motives behind the one issue
raised by the opposition, and which Is
now only ghost kept before the peo-
pie to hide from the glazing sins or
omission and commission which must
be charged up to the administration.
Meeting at RenvIIe.
Mr.. Rosing inaugurated his Western
tour this afternoon at mass meeting
at Renville, which was a pronounced
success, in spite Of the most adverse
circumstances. Renville awoke this
morning to find itself the storm center
Of the first snow of the season. The
hopes Of Renville Democrats who had
planned to give their party leader a
rousing reception went down before a
cold, ugly wind which promised to keep
the farmers at home. Fortune is plain
ly with the Democracy, and two hours
Of sunshine turned the snow into mud,
which signally failed to keep the farm
ers at home. The Renville agricul-
turalsts are a month behind with their
work, but they are interested in the
campaign, and at 2:30 a big audience,
in which the farmers We're largely the
predominating element, gave Mr.. Ros-
ing an enthusiastic welcome.
The meeting was a gratifying sur
prise to Mr.. RoSing and to the leaders
Of the local Democracy. Mr.. Rosing'S
speech consuming an hour, received
the closest attention and called forth
enthusiastic responses which well bears
out the claim of the RenVille Demo-
Gratis who feel that they are in better
shape than ever before in the political
history of the country.f:s
Most Auspicious Reception.
Mr.. Rosings reception by the Demo-
Gratis of the county was most auspi-
cious and clearly Indicated the spirit
in which they have entered the fight.
At Buffalo Lake he was met by a spe-
didttte for the house5eofy representa-
tives; e. w. Rebstock5 candidate for
clerk of the district court;J. r. Landy,
William Pruetz, B. G. Esleine and Jo-
seph Thompkins, of Hector. At Olivia
the escort was augmented by District
Committeeman J. M. Freeman and a
delegation and the Olivia band of
tive ntY-five pieces.
At RenviIle the party was received
NV To- 1nod
Timothy O'Connor and r. T. Daily, the
latter of whom presided at the after
noon meeting. Mr.. Rosing's forceful
address was a surprise to the citizens
of Renville, who have looked upon him
as a successful merchant rather than
a deep student of state policy. He
talked not theory or political bombast,
appealed to no personal passions en-
gendered by party service or affiHa-
ton, but of the. conditions confronting
the state and nation and the policies
of government which have made those
conditions possible. l&s.-zEss s4s.&7s
The farmers of RenVille county are
especially interested in the question of
taxation, and many of the NEST stead
fast Republicans feel that the 20 per
cent raise on the assessed valuation of
Renville farms; made by Van SAINTS
board of equalization last week to as
reduced rate, is placing too great a
penalty on the party loyalty
A majority of the euuat y candidates
attended the meeting, Safldsafter an in
formal reception Mr.. Rosing attended
a conference Of candidates and leaders,
held at the residence of Timothy
O'Connor,
Situation Is Peculiar.
Mr.. Rosiflg will poll a surprising
vote in Renville county, and the Dem
ocrats will get their share, of the Off
GERS on the county ticket. The Demo-
cratic legislative ticket, strange Las it
may seem to oId-time party men, is as
sure as anything in politics may be,
sure to be elected. - z.@;ss, 4
The situation is peculiar. For the
first time in the history of the county
the Republicans are making overtures
and are willing to make concessions.
Their willingness to admit that every
thing is not going their way so early
in the campaign holds forth no conf
dence in their ability to pile up this
year the usual majority of from 200 to
500 There is a disposition generally
to admit the election of Messrs. Winnie,
Butler and Bratsch, and no one pre-
tends to dispute Mr.. Buffers election
by a comfortable majority.
The causes for this unusual political
situation are numerous, but probably
chief among them is the general dis
satisfaction with the high protective
tariff system which has built up the
Eastern monopolies and the peculiar
juggling Of the Van SAINT administra-
ton. The do-nothing. policies of the
present administration do not appeal
to the farmers of Renville county, and
they are drawing ugly comparisons be-
tween the present regime and the adj
ministration of Gov. Lind.
Aftermath of Disaffection.
The primary election has left an
aftermath of disaffection in the ranks
of the Republican party. The Repub-
licans in sthe eastern portion of the
county charge the western end with
defeat for the congressional nominal
ton. They have raised the nationality
issue, and the leaders swear vengeance
to be wreaked on the heads of Repub-
ican Scandinavian nominees.
The defeat of Oar" Hall for nom
ination to the senate by A. V. Rieke
is one of the sorest spots on the anato-
mics of the machine Republicans. The
Democrats managed to avoid any pri-
mary contest and are in the field with
a complete ticket. It's nominees are
unusually strong men, and they are
backed by an organization probably
more effective than any that has ever
taken hold of Renville county. The
candidates are working together in
perfect harmony. They feel that the
people are with them, and they are
out to put up a fight the like of which
they have never before made.
