A Big Meeting Tonight.
GREAT MILL MEETING.
Backus-Brooks Employees Listen to Gov
ernor Van SAINT.

6ackus- BROOKS employees Listen TO 1oV'
ernor Van SAINT.
The largest political meeting ever held
in local mill welcomed Governor. Van
SAINT this noon at the lumber mill of the
Backus Brooks company, Thirty-s second
avenue N and Second street. The crowd,
comprising nearly every employee of the
MIL, numbered almost 500 men,. Seated
en- the "runways'', within the mill, they
listened to speeches delivered from the
transfer platform
The foreman, I. S. Eastman, in pre-
senting Governor Van SAINT. spoke of his
patriotic struggle against the railway
merger, and said that the ght this fall
was practically between Van SAINT and
Jim Hill. The men should remember that
they had before them three candidates
who had been lumberjacks Van
SAINT, Ray Jones, who was to be the next
lieutenant governor, and Next Alderman
Benson.
The governor declared that he felt much
at home in a saw mill, having once work. ed
in one. He denied again the interview
published in Chicago to the effect that he
favored the mine operators and was not
the friend of labor. It was sufficient, per-
haps, to point out that this publication
had been retracted, and that he had been
the only governor to send a message to
the legislature recommending an eight
hour day for laborers engaged on state
work. The party that he represented,
moreover. had not only encouraged the
laboring man but had created the pros
perity that had enabled the workers of the
cOuntr ytO put into savings banks no less
| than 81. 600, 600, 900.
LAS to tho merger I simply did my duty.
If I'm elected, I'll do all in my power to
protect the rights of the people. But
whether I'm elected Or not, that will be the
greatest battle fought in the twentieth
| century"
The governor added points relative to
the advantages Of a protective tariff. He
also bescught votes for Mr.. Jones, Mr..
I Fletcher and Mr.. Benson, telling of the
enthusiasm for Mr.. Jones displayed re-
Gently by that candidates own employees
in a saw mill at Frazee, MINI.
The close attention given to the gov
ernor's address was interrupted from time
| to time by earnest applause. Other
speeches were made by Messrs. Jones and
Benson.

Thugs Take Victims Money and Come
Back Again for
Trlnkets,

A young man reported to the police this
morning that he had been knocked down
by footpads last night and robbed. He
was walking along with another young
man on Arthur avenue Sc and, when the
pair reached Williams street they saw
three men standing on the corner. Not
suspecting danger they attempted to pass
when one Of the men struck the young fell
low in the face and knocked him down.
His companion succeeded in eluding the
thugs and ran away. The three went
through the young mans pockets and took
his purse containing about $50 and all the
jeWelry he had on. They then told him
to lie stilloupon pain Of bodily injury, and
started away.
They had only proceeded few PAGES
when they stopped and after talking few
moments, one returned and searched his
pockets again. He found a comb and
mirror. Taking these, he joined his COM
panions and the three disappeared.
The police decline to give the name OF
the victim.
