DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 23-Two audi
ences of over 1000 voters greeted
Leonard A. Rosing to Duluth tonight
at Lincoln park pavilion, in the West
end and in West Duluth. An ugly, cold
rain prevailing all day threatened to
spoil the only Duluth meetings Mr.
Rosing will be able to address before
election. The rain was accompanied by
a nasty northwest wind which would
have furnished ample excuse for hug
ging a comfortable fireside. But wind
and rain utterly failed to dampen the
enthusiasm or lessen the interest of the
voters of Duluth. Their hearts are in
the campaign and they turned out to
hear the doctrines of Democracy and
the state policies outlined by Mr.. Ros-
ing, whose popularity has grown with
great bounds until today he holds
place in the popular esteem which has
proved surprise even to his closest
friends and Warmest admirers.
Mr.. Rosing first addressed an audi
ance in the West end which filed the
big Lincoln park pavilion. The Repub-
ican wiseacres confidently expected
that the nasty weather would
result in two frosty meetings and an
ticipated an especially severe chill in
the neighborhood Of Lincoln park.
Hall Is Overlooking.
Before Mr.. Rosing was escorted to
the platform there was only standing
room, and before he had finished his
audience extended out to the outside
steps, which were crowded. John Jens-
void Jr., long a pillar Of strength in
the Peoples party organization and
one of the most popular men on the
north shore, presided. He introduced
Mr.. Rosing In a neat little speech as
citizen of Minnesota, a product Of the
state and its institutions who has the
best interests Of the state and it's peo-
pie ct heart and who will as governor
not only endeavor to correct the evils
Of administration which so heavily
bear on the producing classes, but as
chief executive reflect credit on the
state at home and abroad" The plat
form party included w. B. Moer, Judge
J. B. Richards, D. G. Cash and August
Hagberg. After Mr. Rosing's party
left for West Duluth Messrs. Hagberg'
and Cash addressed the audience,
pending the arrival Of Capt. Fay, who
opened the meeting at West Duluth.
MI. ILOSllS was SlNSA d I1SlIlSuOOo
ovation by the 1,5O0 voters of West
Duluth who turned out to welcome
him. His party, under the guidance
Of DR.. Cullum, arrived at West Duluth
at 9:45.
Pandemonium Breaks Lose.
His appearance at the entrance was
the signal for an enthusiastic burst of
applause, and when he took the speak
er's post, introduced by Henry Truel-
son as the next governor of Minneso-
ia, pandemonium was loosened. 1t
was q reception that would do honor
to the leader of a nation. The big au-
dience cheered itself hoarse and then
continued to vent its enthusiasm with
stamping feet and vigorously clapped
hands until after the idol of Democracy
had repeatedly signaled for quiet that
be might proceed with his speech.
Like the Lincoln Park audience, the
West Duluth meeting was a turnout
Of voters. Bad as the weather was,
the local leaders knew their halls
would be too small to accommodate
mixed audiences, and, much to Mr..
Rosing's disappointment, the ladies,
whose presence he greatly appreciates,
were compelled to remain away. Had
the weather been propituous Mr.. Ros-
ing would have been obliged to make
a third speech to an overf1oWing meet
ing. Republicans and Democrats were
alike surprised with the Democratic
leaders speeches.
Republicans Make Admissions.
The joy of the Democrats is exceed
ed only by the chagrin of the Repub-
lican workers. The latter admit that
Mr.. RoSing made votes and put new
life into the campaign efforts of the
Democrats. The accusations he makes
against the Van SAINT administration
are backed and corroborated by indis
putable official records. His argu-
ments are not airy, gauZy films OF
empty promises or appeals to personal
prejudices. He discusses state condi-
tons fairly and fully and offers rene
dies simple as they are forceful.
The West Duluth meeting was open
ed by Capt. NJ. L. Fay, candidate fol
congress, who was given a rousing re-
ception. His speech was necessarily
brief, as he was obliged to make the
long drive to West End to address the
meeting at Lincoln park. After the
departure of Capt. Fay, M. H. Nc
Mahon, Democratic candidate for coun-
ty attorney delivered a stirring ad-
dress, holding the big audience inter
ested and enthusiastic until Mr.. Ros-
ing arrived.
Van SAINT Alarmed Too Late.
The political outlook In Duluth and
st. Louis county warrants the optt-
mistic view Of the outcome the loca
leaders have taken. Van SAINT has de-
cided to devote the last week of his
campaign to Duluth and the ranges. L
! is generally admitted that the genia
governor has taken alarm all too late
Nothing could have changed the wave
Of sentiment adverse to Van SAM
