a decade, failed to make the meeting
a failure. Some Of the farmers pres
ent drove twelve miles to hear the
principles Of Democracy as eXpounded
by the party's organized and leader.
Several of the business houses locked
their doors and proprietors and en-
ployes turned out to welcome the next
governor. Under the direction Of A.
H. Taisey, the hall had been tastefully
and rather deliberately decorated. On
every hand were unmistakable evil
dences of the great hold Mr.. Rosing
has on the citizens of Stevens county.
Mr.. Taisey presented and introduced
Mr.. Rosing as the organizer who made
the Lind administration, the brightest
page in the history of Minnesota, pos
sible, and who did more than any other
man save Gov. Lind to make that two
years of Democratic administration so
enninently successful. - 81
Makes a Marked Impression.
Mr.. Rosing's speech received the
closest attention, and made marked
impression, not only on the Democrats
but the large number Of Republicans
present. AS in all of his speeches, Mr..
Rosing refrained from any structures
on his opponent or the rank and file
of the opposition. He argued that all
Americans III the IdIlhS are uOuGSlIy
striving for the best interest Of their
country and it's institutions.
He pointed out the danger of per-
hitting one political party TO hold I'M
disputed sway for a long term of years
because the selfish interests Of the ma
ton must naturally drift to the domi-
nant party. His discussion of the PEI
culia~ maneuvers of the Van SAINT ad-
ministration in regard to the So called
merger issue and the policies of taxa
ton put in practice by Van SAINT and
his administrative officers made the
deepest impression.
Stevens County Outlook.
The political outlook in Stevens
county is full of hope for the Demo-
Gratis, as it is in Grant and Traverse
counties, which complete the Fifty
seventh senatorial district. The Grant
county Democratic ticket is not COM
plete, but the county is splendfdly or
gapjzed, its candidates are among the
best known and most generally re-
spected men and the conceded effort
behind them, coupled with their per-
sonal popularity, will give them COM
Portable margins and give the Demo-
Gratis their full share of the county Of
fees.
The legislative efforts Of the Demo-
Gratis of the county and the district
are conferred on the election of Repre-
sentative Herman Hillmond, who is in
the field as an independent candidate
for the senate. The party has no can
didates for the house. Hillmond en-
joys a legislative record equaled by
few members of the last Legislature.
He was the father ofSas bill for the
amendment of the primary election law,
and with Representative Dunn fully
divided the leadership III the successful
fight for the extension and modifca-
tor OF the Minneapolis law which has
placed the nomination. of candidates
directly in the hands sof the people.
He enjoys the undivided respect Of the
voters of his district and the leaders of
the Democratic party and is hustling
vote-getter.
The Republicans are putting up a
tremendous effort to down Mr.. Hill
mond, but many of the best informed
| workers in the Republican, ranks ad-
init that they are confronted by failure
practically assured. i5
