The Saint Paul globe., 1902-10-29


the Twin City canvass, which will close
his campaign. in Minneapolis, speaking
at three of the eight Democratic mass
meetings held in the Flour City. To-
night he will speak under the direction
of the Ramsey county committee in st,
Paul. Friday and Monday nights will
be given to Minneapolis, and Saturday
he will make four speeches in Wash.
ington county.
The Minneapolis meetings addressed
by Mr.. Rosing last night were ample
repetitions of the enthusiastic recep-
tions he has received throughout the
state. Even in the straight-laced Re-
publican Eighth ward, where he made
his first speech he had fair audience,
in spite Of the fact that he was Obliged
to open the meeting half hour before
the scheduled time. 1t was an audi
ence more than half Republican, but
if the applause indicated how the vot-
ers present stand on the head of the
ticket, it was solid Rosing gathering.
In the Tenth ward, at Fifth avenue
south and Eleventh street, and in the
Eleventh ward, at Twenty sixth ave-
nue. and Franklin street, Mr.. Rosins
addressed two great gatherings. J. G.
: Haynes, Democratic candidate for
mayor, opened the Eleventh ward meet
ing, and former Gov. Lind opened the
Tenth ward meeting.
Unexpected Enthusiasm.
: The Tenth ward meeting under a big
tent was surprise even to the Demo-
Gratis. 1t was held in a district gem
orally credited with prediction to
political meetings, and the big tent,
with no floor save the sod, was not an
inviting place in last nights chilly air.
But nevertheless it was packed with
an audience thoroughly representative
of one of the gilt-edge districts of Min
neapolis. The enthusiasm was in pro-
portion to the size of the crowd.
In the Eleventh ward, Andersons
hall was packed, and Mr.. Rosing was
given a reception which made the
welkin ring. He was to have spoken
at the Seventh ward headquarters,
Cedar and Lake street, but 1t was so
late when he finished at the Tenth
ward the committee decided to aban-
don the attempt 20 have him appear at
four meetings.
Mr.. Rosing's speeches We're neces-
sarily short and he confined himself
almost entirely to a discussion of the
state government as administered by
Van SAINT and a comparison of the
Van SAINT record with that left by the
Democratic administration in which
Mr.. Rosing was the adviser of Gov.
Lind.
Friends Are Protected.
He paid particular attention to the
subject of taxation and Van SAINT and
his railway and warehouse commits
sion's record in the administration of
the laws designed to govern railroads.
He said that the entire equipment of
the Twin City Rapid Transit company
could be replaced for one-third of its
capitalization, but that when State
Auditor Dunn asked Van SAINTS board
of equalization to raise the company'B
valuation for tax assessment to $7,000,-
900, or less than one-third of the value
Of its capital stock, Coy. Van SAINT
showed the quality of his tax reform
ambition by voting against the in
crease, which was opposed by M. D.
Mum, the governors special counsel.
People Are Aroused.
On the tour of just twenty days, in
cluding three Sundays, Mr.. Rosing
Travelled approximately $500 miles.
The itinerary mapped out by the COM
mittee contemplated his appearance
in about forty-five towns. Instead he
visited sixty towns and spoke in all
but a few of them. His speeches and
personal work had magical effect on
the Democrats Of the state. In every
county he visited the Democratic or
ganizations were filed with new life,
and today the Democracy Of Minnesota
is In better shape than ever before.
Mr.. Rosing has proved himself the
giant of the Democracy. He has not
only fired the Democrats with the be-
lief that they can win and encouraged
them to the efforts Of their lives, but
he has made thousands Of personal
supporters in the ranks of the Repubs
lican party.
