The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-16

gave Mr.. Rosing a reception that would
be an honor to any American citizen.
The spacious armory was filed half
hour before the arrival Of Mr.. Rosing
and his escort of prominent Demo-
Gratis. After short Introductory
speeches by County Committeeman J..
B. Ormond, who presided, and R. H.
Grace, the big crowd gave him unus-
ually close attention for an hour and
half.
A thoroughly enjoyable innovation in
political meetings was furnished by
Miss Harriet Donnelly, Of Merriam
Park, the possessor Of a rich contralto
voice, who charmingly sang a ballad
which evoked an enthusiastic encore
graciously acquiesced in. Miss DON
nelly is the granddaughter of the late
Ignatius Donnelly and is deservedly a
favorite with Morris audiences. She
was accompanied by Miss Aubrey
Barnes, of Minneapolis.
Stand for Two Hours.
The significant characteristic Of all
Mr.. Rosing's meetings was especially
marked tonight. The meeting was
called to order half an hour later than
usual, and contrary to the usual pro-
gramme, Mr.. Rosing was preceded by
another speaker. His speech was
rather longer than usual and many Of
the farmers in the audience had long,
cold drives before them; yet not a
man left and scores of voters patiently
stood up for two hours. The interest
was so intense, that save for Mr.. Ros-
ings voice, a pin dropped could have
been heard. Mr.. Rosing is not an or
ator in the accepted sense Of the term.
He appeared tonight more than orator.
He was filled with a purpose. He had
the honest views Of an honest man to
lay before the people Of the state.
He stated his position and that Of
the Democracy in no uncertain terms.
There was no equivocation or dodg-
ing. The alleged issues advanced by
the opposition fell fiat before Mr.. Ros-
ings scathing arraignment Of the dis
elimination practiced by the Van SAINT
administration for the purpose Of max
ing political capital.
Both Attention and Respect.
The issues presented by the De-
mocracy-issues made dominant by
the masses are at the mercy of govern
mentfastened monopolies = were dis
cussed in a manner which commanded
not only attention, but respect. Mr..
Rosing paid particular attention to
the methods, or rather lack of method,
practiced by the Republican railroad
and warehouse commission and the
tax evils forced upon the state by
careless and vicious Republican legis-
lation.
Mr.. Rosing left tonight for st. Paul.
where he will hold a conference with
party leaders tomorrow. Tomorrow
night is the first and only break in his
three weeks series of meetings. The
tour will be again taken up Friday
with meetings at Foley, Sank Rapids
and st. Cloud. The third day of Mr..
Rosing's western tour included fly
ing trip through the eastern portion
of Traverse county and down through
Grant and Stevens counties.
Mass Meeting at DonneIIy.
The feature Of the afternoon was an
enthusiastic mass meeting at Donnel-
lily. W. V. Kane, of Wheaton, repre-
| senting the Traverse county organiza-
! ton, was delegated as theEspecial es-
| cort, and accompanied Mr.. Rosing to
Herman. At Herman w. T. Ziebarth
| took Mr.. Kane's place and pileted the
/! party leader to Donnelly. No meet
! ing was arranged at. Herman, and
| Mr.. Rosing was free to prosecute his
own method of campaigning-the gum
| shoe, which is so distasteful to the
i Republican leaders and extremely
