with Mr.. Rosing's speech, nor did a
man leave the hall. Frank D. LARA
bee, candidate for attorney general.
was given reception fully Indicative
OF his hold on the Democrats of Min
neapolis and Hennepin county. He was
introduced as a" true blue fighter: a
lawyer who when he had once COM
menced legal proceeding never left 1t
until he won his case.
Mr. Larrabee is an accomplished
orator and logical, conclusive thinker.
Without any attempt at a set speech,
ne held his audience, interested, con-
WINGED, amused, for twenty minutes
He compared the Democratic and Re-
publican parties as known by their re-
spective records. The Democratic par
ty, the party Of the people and the
champion Of their rights. The Repub-
hcan party, the party of the classes,
as arrayed against the masses and the
champion of monopolies and trusts, as
against the rights of the producing
classes. Mr.. Larabee disavowed any
intent to appear in the light of claiming
that the Democratic party and it's
principles are in every respect perfect.
But he did claim that the Democratic
party is more nearly perfect than any
other political party. He said the Re
publican party stands to help the cap
1tal1st, that he may in some way in
directly help the laborer, but in no
sense help the laborer that he may in
directly help the capitalist
ALLEGED MERGER ISSUE
DENOUNCED AS A MAKESHIFT.
Mr.. Larrabee denounced the So
called merger" issue raised by the
Republicans as false and a shame. He
said the merger" of railroad lines
is not and cannot be a political issue.
The real fight is not whether rail-
roads shall be consolidated, but
whether they shall be so controlled by
the state that their rates shall be fair,
and return only a fair profit on the
capital invested. The merger" issue,
he said, was raised by Van SAINT, who
faced storm of party disapproal,
threatening the denial of a renomina-
ton. Raised to hide in the hue and
cry of infamed public sentiment the
sins of omission and commission of
the administration and veil from pub
lie scrutiny the misconduct of the Re-
publican politicians.
George p. Jones, candidate for clerk
of the supreme court, is no longer
Jones, of Rock. Last night he became
Jones, of Minnesota. The brilliant
young orator stepped on to the firm
rock of established leadership in the
party council with a masterful address
on the trust and Philippine questions.
When he concluded his ten-minute
speech the audience demanded that he
resume. His persistent refusal to oc-
cupy more of the meetings time was
finally accepted, and Three cheers for
Jones" proposed from the gallery were
given with a vim and followed by a
rousing tiger.
CHEERS FOR OLD ROMAN OF
MINNESOTA DEMOCRACY
AFoxxor ID oLor< A c,,oith 0f
candidate for lieutenant governor, was
unable to attend the meeting and the
big audience after giving three hearty
cheers for the "Old Roman" of Min
nesota's Democracy, vociferously in
sisted on a speech from former Gov.
Lind. When he acquiesced to the ex-
tent of rising and approaching the
front of the platform prolonged cheer
went up which was silenced only after
repeated efforts on the part of the for
mer governor to still the burst of en-
thusiasm his appearance before a Min
nesota audience always excites.
Mr. Lind declined to make a speech,
but promised to discuss the issues OF
the campaign at a mass meeting which
is now projected by the Minneapolis
Democrats for q date Immediately af-
ter the primary elections. J. c. Haynes,
candidate for nomination to the
mayorality, in response to the demands
Of the audience, made a brief speech
which concluded one of the most en-
thusiastic gathering of Democrats ever
held in Minnesota.
Mr.. Rosing, accompanied by Mrs.
Rosing, arrived in Minneapolis early in
the afternoon and went directly to the
West hotel, where they received a COM
mittee representing the local Democ-
racy and INJURIOUS party leaders who
called to offer their congratulations
and submit reports of a situation
which is very pleasing to the Demo-
Gratis of Hennepin county. The COM
mittee representing the local organiza-
ton was headed by Chairman Elijah
Barton, Harry A. Lund, A. S. Keyes
and Henry Ebert. Among the other
prominent Democrats who called dur
ing the afternoon were Aid. Lars M.
Rand, d. A. Fallon. Prof. H. G.. Moore,
