ROSING AT ST. CLOUD
Continued From First Page.

Mr.. Rosing thoroughly dissected the
record of the present Republican ad-
miniStration and laid bare the two
years of ugly inactivity and negative
policy which Van SAINT and his aSSoci-
ates have given the state. The Van
SAINT administration was presented to
the st. Cloud Democrats in many de-
tails, commencing with the inaugura-
ton Of Van SAINT and including not only
the administrative measures fathered
and forced by the executive, but the
Legislative policy which Van SAINT
forced on the state. Van SAINTS mes
sage advocating the board Of control
and tax commission was recalled to
the minds of taxpayers with whom the
results of the appointment Of the tri-
umvirate entering the state institu-
tons and the miserable extra session
Of the legislature are as fresh as they
are obnoxious memories.
The peculiar railroad policies of the
Van SAINT administration were I'M
masked and compared with the meri-
torious work accomplished by the DEM
oeratic administration and its brief
twelve months control Of the railroad
and warehouse commission.
AS to Taxes.
The tax question was discussed In
it's direct relation to the holders of real
estate and visible personal property,
who bear the burden of state and mu-
nicipaI government. The tax policy Of
the present administration, resulting
in the repeal of the dog tax at a cost
of $751; 900, was placed in vivid campari-
son with the simple and complete tax
plan offered by the Democrats and
which could have been placed on the
statutes, the constitutional amend
ments submitted and the extra session
adjourned all within ten days.
Mr.. RosingS exposition Of the So
called merger issue raised by Van
SAINT as a campaign bolster for his
waning political strength found the
same response in st. Cloud that it has
met throughout his tour. No one thing
is more evident than that the people
throughout the state are taking the
one issue of the Republicans at it's true
value. They have had time calmly to
analyze it in it's several phases. 1t
made for a short time an acceptable
agent of appeal to the natural preJu-
dices of the people; but the people are
rapidly awakening to the realization Of
the fact that they are intended victims
of a gigantic "bunco" game and that
the merger issue is only a blind to dis
tract public attention from the peculiar
record of railroad and tax administra-
ton, or rather lack of administration,
made by Van SAINT and the Republican
party.
Audience Most Sympathetic of All.
Mr.. Rosing was given tremendous
ovation when introduced by Judge d.
T. Calhoun, who presided, and he faced
an audience perhaps more ready to
demonstrate it's approval of the poll
cies enunciated by him than any he has
addressed during, the campaign, and
before he had finished the audience
was intensely interested and liberal in
it's expression Of appreciation OF the
Democratic leaders loyalty and I'M
swerving honesty.
DR.. Julian A. Dubois, StearnS coun-
tvs candidate for congress, was given
a reception plainly demonstrative of
the hold he has on the esteem of the
Democrats Of his home county. DR..
Dubois made half-hour speech pre-
ceding Mr.. Rosing. He is quiet but
forceful and logical speaker and his
discussion of the national policies OF
the great political parties was charac-
teristicalIy Democratic. He made
strong plea for individuality in pol1t-
ical thought and action. He attacked
the trusts as the foe Of individual eff
fort, the mother of monopoly, the death
Of competition and menace not only
to commercial freedom but the ma
tons political name. DR.. Dubois Joined
Mr.. Rosing today and will finish the
week with the ,gubernatorial cand1--
date, speaking tomorrow afternoon at
the Dassel street fair and in the even
ing at Litchf1eld.
Mr.. Rosing's reception by the Demo-
Gratis of st. Cloud and StearnS and
Benton county was exceedingly graft
tying. He arrived from St. Paul late
Thursday night. but was abroad early
this morning and, escorted by FRANK
Zins and Charles F. Ladner, was OH
for a flying visit to Foley and Benton
county. After two hours in Foley the
party went on a still hunt in Stearns
Returning to St. Cloud late in the
afternoon the party was taken in hand
by Clerk Henry j. Limprich, one OF
the Woodworking Democrats who mas
done yeomans service in perfecting
the best organization Stearns county,
has had in decade. A conference of
party leaders was held at o'clock and
