The result is history, Mr.. Lind was

&c state ticket was nominated. Two
weeks later the young Goodhue county
leader, was elected chairman of the
state committee and confronted with
the task of organizing a party popu-
larry supposed to be disrupted beyond
repair. There was absolutely no state
party organization. What little there
had been in the preceding years had
disappeared like dew before the sun in
the strife OF honest differences which
divided the party between gold and
silver.
The election was only ten weeks dis
tant. Ihere was no money. Roslng
was unknown in many counties and
IN fully as many knew no one in whom
look for advice. With the most popu-
lar candidate ever nominated at the
head of Minnesota ticket and his
own indomitable pluck, he began the
work OF organization. The organiza-
ton could be only Superficial but the
results achieved startled the Repub-
l1cans not alone of Minnesota but of
the Unitel States.

believed that the tariff reform which

true to principle Rosing left the party

Leaves Republican Party.
He was a delegate to the Goodhue
republican county convention in 1900
and his last act as a Republican was
the introduction and passage at that
convention of a resolution indorsing
Senator Davis bill putting binding
Irvine on the free list From that con-
Vention he walked out a Democrat to
what seemed inevitable political OBJ
llvion but held cheap at the price of
personal freedom.
Mr.. Rosing took the stump for o.
M. Hall, the Democratic congressional
candidate, who was reelected. Again
i'm 1892 he stumped the county for
Hall who was reelected and in 1894
he accepted the Democratic nominal
ton for the state senate to assist Hall.
Out of 1000 votes in Goodhue county
only LOO were Democratic, yet Mr.
Rosing polled 1855, which was little
short of remarkable considering the
discomfort among Democrats over the
Cleveland administration.
His services on the congressional
committee in 1892 and 1894 and his
stirring, logical tariff speeches in the
latter campaign made him a marked
man in the Democracy of the state.
He was invited to address the Jeffer-
son banquet and left a profound i'm
preston.

the same degree as an employee he has
enjoyed the fullest confidence of the
entire community. In his business his
remarkable abilities as a judge of hu-
man nature is wildly shown. 1t is
the boast of Mr.. Rosing'S friends that
he never makes mistakes in passing on
men and as a credit man he is without
a superior.
Rosing says he inherits his ability
to judge men from his mother, whose
judgement he never questioned and
whose decisions, he says, were always
right. He arrives at an estimate of q
mans character instantly and that es-
innate is final. In all his business and
political life he has had few reasons
to change his original judgement. His
memory is as reliable as his judgment
is keen and neither is hampered by
the slightest tinge of suspicion. A lit
tie incident which occurred in his store
a few days ago is illustrative or both
Judgment and memory.
A prospective customer in the shoe
department selected his purchase and
then announced to the salesman that
he desired credit.
He was referred to Mr.. Rosing, who
in his office in the rear of the store
was deep in mass of correspondence
and working his stenographer up to
the limit. The following conversation,
winch is accurate except the names,
which do not matter, ensued:
''Will you trust me for this pair of
shoes, Mr.. Rosing?"

Leonard August Rosing was born a;
Malmo, Sweden, Aug. 20, 1861. He is
the son of August George Rosing, ar
attache of the Swedish civil govern
ment and the grandson of a German
citizen of Sweden. His mother was
the daughter of the colonel command
ing one of the regiments of the impe-
rial Swedish troops, a beautiful and
accomplished lady. Leonard is the
youngest of four children.
Until he arrived at the age of nine
years, the life of the Rosing family
under the sunshine of government ant
family connections foreshadowed none
of the hardships it's members were
soon to undergo, poor and alone in a
strange land. Then came reverses.

proud mother gathered their little fam
