ROUSED BY ROSING
Continued From First Page.

| both will be returned by handsome
votes.
The county ticket nominated by the
Democrats, while not complete, is I'M
usually strong, and the party workers
viii center their efforts on their few
candidates to win. For auditor, John
Carols, of Wabasha, has a fight, but
he is a fighter and is backed by the
solid Democracy, beside a host of Re-
publican friends. Practically the same
conditions surround the candidacy Of
M. o. Drink for judge of probate,
and George Howswedel for sheriff.
The Democrats of Wabasha county
are alert, enthusiastic and filled with
complete confidence in their candidate
for governor. The Republicans will
not cast their full vote. They are torn
with dissatisfaction with the head of the
state ticket, and the sore spots in
hfcted in the ugly battle waged by the
administration against Tawney, re-
fuse to yield to the soothsayers soft
soap.
| Winona established a new record
with the reception rendered Mr.. Rosing
tonight. The Democratic party lead
er was welcomed to the home city of
his opponent with cheers, torchlight
| procession and reception at the Hotel
Winona the equal of which was never
before rendered a gubernatorial candi-
date in the Staid old town of W1nona.
The reception at the hotel was follow
ed by magnificent mass meeting at
Philharmonic hail. Mr.. Rosing arriv-
| ed in Winona at $50. At Wabasha
he was joined by Judge II. L. Buck,
chairman of the state central commit
tee.
Mr.. Rosing's party was met at the
depot by special reception commit
tee, including Senator Patrick Fitzpat-
| rick, w. J. Whipple and Judge w. j.
Smith, the latter of whom presided at
the evening meeting. Mr.. Rosing was
escorted directly to the hotel, where he
held a brief conference with the local
leaders. While Mr.. Rosing was at din
ner John O'Day announced that a few
gentlemen had called to pay their re-
spects. The strains of a military band
were heard from the street and the
standard-b bearer of Democracy was
ushered out to the parlors of the no
tel, where he found himself the central
| figure in the greatest political leyee
| ever held in Winona.
Greet the Next Governor.
For an hour the parlors, Hobbies and
| corridors We're crowded with prominent
men and ladies anxious to grasp the
hand of him whom they all greeted as
''the next governor of Minnesota" The
| reception was as gratifying as surpris-
| ing to Mr.. Rosing, but he was treated
| to another surprise, when Chairman
Buck announced the departure for the
| mass meeting. As Mr.. Rosing, on the
arm of Judge Arthur Ell. Snow, step
ped from the hotel lobby an admirer
in the densely crowded street propos-
ed Three cheers for Gov. RoSing."
The cheers were given with will and
followed by a rousing tiger. The car
| riages were preceded by the band and
line Of torch bearers, and in the rear
formed column of citizens. At fire.
| quent intervals along the line of march
| the music of the band was drowned by
/ the cheers Of the crowds and the
streets glowed red with colored fire.
The mass meeting at Philharmonic
! hall, which inaugurated Mr.. Rosing's
| three weeks speaking tour, was a graf
| flying testimonial of the affection in
which the people of Winona hold the
leader of Democracy, the standard
! bearer on whom the common people Of
| Minnesota have. pinned their faith.
Philharmonic hall, the largest of it's
kind in Winona, was crowded with an
audience entirely representative of Wi
mona, its varied interests and its So
ciety.
Before the meeting opened every
seat on the main floor was filed. The
! galleries were comfortably filled, and
several scores stood along the side
| walks and the main entrance. On the
stage were about fifty of Winona'S
| leading Democrats. With the exeep-
| ton of few ladies' it was an audience
| of voters. Municipal Judge w. J..
Smith presided, and introduced Mr..
Rosing and Senator Fitzpatrick, who
closed the meeting. The reception
given Mr.. Rosing by the big audience
| was as gratifying as the earlier recep-
ton by the party leaders. His appear
ance on the stage on the arm of Judge
Snow was the signal for a burst Of en-
| thusiastie applause. His Introduction
| by Judge Smith again loosened the en-
| thusiasn, and he was given a tre-
mendous ovation. He was cheered
again and again, and the cheers died
| away only to be again renewed.
Speech Full of Meat.
Mr.. Rosings speech was, as COM
! pared with campaign efforts generally,
short, but it was full of meat. Mr..
Rosing poured hot shot of plain, unde-
niable truths into the opposition camp
in manner which held the closest in
terest of the audience, and frequently
reused it to enthusiastic expression of
approval.
Mr.. Rosing handled the trust and
| high protection tariff problems without
/ gloves. He demonstrated by the quo
| tation of plain statistics how the peo-
| pie have paid unearned tribute to giant
| corporations and thereby built up pro-
| tected commercial despots that may
| throttle the public interest at will. His
| scathing arrangement of the coal trust
! methods in prolonging the strike which
! threatens $4,000 miners and their
/ families with starvation, and which
| has deprived the Northwest of coal.
were received with especial warmth.
| The coal question has come home es-
pecially hard to the people of South
| eastern Minnesota. In spite of the al
legged fact that Minnesota has an I'M
limited supply Of Wood rue1, wood is
! conspicuous by its absence along the
| Mississippi. Wood there may be, but
/ it is still standing in the groves and
! the price of even the least desirable
qualities of soft wood has doubled.
VIII Not Be Personal.
Mr.. Rosing prefaced that portion of
/ his speech touching the state admin
istration by the statement that he pur-
posed in this campaign to say nothing
about his opponent in a personal way
| that could injure the feelings of his
/ friends. Personally he had no differ
| cIlCSS Will Lie SSliidi SOFSIllOi. OtilItSt-
ly he differed entirely. He scored Gov.
! Van SAINT for claiming reelection for
| the alleged heroism of having perform
| ed his plain duty, when, as a matter of
! fact, that duty had been only half per-
| formed. He said:
Minnesota has laws enough to pro-
I tect all it's citizens, the duty of the
| citizens lies in the election of men, not
for the purpose of raising false issues
| for DolitjcaJ canita1 hit TO honestly a6 :
minister the laws we have"
