crease of the republican vote two and
four years ago.
Governor Van SAINT said he glad to
meet his Carlton friends in their court
house hail. an appropriate place. since
1t had been decreed that he himself was
the issue of the campaign. The opposi-
tion Is making the fight because through
legal agencies, the courts, he had raised
the question If a New Jersey corporation
can come to the state and violate the laws
Of Minnesota.
The settlement of this question means
much. almost all. to the people of Min
nesota, and whatever the result Of the
election, though he expected to be elected,
a second time, he was glad he had done
as he had, and he would do it again.

amendments, and the importance of elect

At the mills Governor Van SAINT was
introduced to an audience of several hum
dred workmen by Superintendent e. w.
Rogers.
Governor Van SAINT found bond of
sympathy between himself and the mill
employees in the fact that his first work

sawnill when he was years OF age. and
he was entirely familiar with the terms

election on Nov. was in a sense q ma
tioral event. If Governor Van SAINT should
