Inc Roosevelt Rough Rider Republican
cluD last night, at a complimentary
smoker given by former President A. w.
L1ndeke, presented Mr. Lindeke with an
umbrella; discussed the lunch provided
by Mr.. Lindeke and the speeches furnish
ed by candidates and special speakers.
The smoker was given in the main din
ing room Of the Merchants which Mine
Host Kibbe had very prettily decorated
for the occasion. An orchestra rendered
pleasing programme of popular airs.
Frank Tenney was a hit in songs and
monologue, and Al Flournoy was in his
usual entertaining form Among the
speakers were President L. Corning, a.
w. Lindeke, F. B. Doran, Armand Al
brecht Osar Hallam. J. J. mccarthy,
Henry L. Wolterstorff, Oar F. Reese and
j. Adam Bede.
President Corning in a neat speech,
presented the host and former president
with a handsome umbrella as a token Of
the esteem in which he is held by the
club Mr.. Lindeke replied gracefully in
kind. The presentation over, Mr.. Corning
said the critics of the Roosevelt club
have no conception of the scope and ac-
tivity which the organization proposes
to take in the present campaign. He
scored the mentors who would confine the
energies of the club to determining the
Ac1IC VI IleL L1OHdI NolOlOdl6S.
Charity Begins With Doran.
Referring to the Republican candidate
for mayor, Mr.. Corning said patriotism,
like charity, begins at home, and adj
vocated that the club support Mr.. Doran.
Then he paid his respects to the average
American political boss. In a temporary
lapse of memory he entirely overlooked
Messrs. Quay, Plat ct al, and inform
ed his fellow Rough Riders that bosses
are generally Democratic. Also that they
sit on thrones built up by their machines,
and crush the tax-paying voters under
their iron-shod heels
Then Mr.. Corning reached Mayor Smith.
Mayor Smith, he said is the tool of cor
rupt men, not willingly, but because he
needs the money he is forced to bow to
men not fit to unite his shoe laces. Again
Mr.. Corning suffered a lapse of memory
and utterly unconscious that Freddy"
Griffin is still very much alive inform
ed his fellow warriors that if DOran is
elected no man or set of men will be
able to bend his iron will.
Mr.. Doran admitted that he did not
feel well, and that the eulogies OF the
Rough Riders made him uncomfortable.
He was sanguine of a sweeping Republic
an victory, and then for an hour the
Rough Riders reveled in a revival Of
Democrats to Jefferson Davis.
Burns VIII Carry Few Precincts.
The Democrats, he said, have not
changed. They are still ten years be-
hind, and coming along after the Re
publicans rake up the dying embers Of
their camp fire and then seek to claim
the credit. Mr. Doran modestly attrib-
uted the victory which, he said, the Re
publicans cannot miss, not to the fact
that he is on the ticket, but that the
voters of St. Paul just cannot help Vot-
ing the Republican ticket. In few pre-
cincts controlled by buns, Mr.. Doran
said possibly Democratic success may be
expected.
J. J. McCardy informed the Roose-
veltians than he has never made his liv-
ing by the sweat of his jaw, also that
the city of st. Paul has not issued any
bonds in ten years, and incidentally that
it is a very good thing to keep him where
he can watch the city's finances to see
that no bonds are ever issued. Oar +.
Reese said the fate of the nation rests
upon the shoulders Of young men, and
after speaking casually of Napoleon,
Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Pitt, Shaks-
pere and several other young men prom
inent in their day, told the club that he
does not smoke, does not drink and is an
honest politician, as we'll as a gentleman,
whom even the Rooseveltians might be
proud to invite into their homes. ]. Adam
Bede made one Of his enthusiastically
| humorous speeches and closed the long
programme.
