jority in this section. This is not idle
guess work, but is borne out by facts.
The Republican losses will come as a
result of the few miners on the range
this year. On the Vernilion range,
almost solidly Republican two years
ago, Johnson will get many votes, but
Dunn's greatest loss will result from
the exodus Of Republicans, it being es-
timated that on this range alone 1900
Republican voters have moved away
since the last election. a4~
A striking example Of this is in the
town of Tower, where the Republicans

to a fresh start to be made on Thurs

JOHNSON FINISHES
HIS NORTHERN TOUR
Addresses Immense Meeting at
Duluth and Is Assured of
Republican Support
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 27-Fifteen
hundred voters, including many Re-
publicans, greeted John A. Johnson,
the Democratic nominee for governor,
who spoke at the armory In this city
tonight. The big auditorium was
crowded long before the hour for the
meeting, and despite the fact that
benches and extra chairs were provid-
ed, 200 people stood up. Other speak
ers besides Johnson were his running
mate, F. G. Winston; T. ]. McDermott,
candidate for attorney general, and
Martin Hughes, the popular range
Democrat, who is running for congress
In the Eighth district. Mr.. Johnson
made the principal address of the
evening, following closely the lines Of
his Minneapolis speech, and the other
speakers confined themselves to state
issues and a comparison of the fitness
of the candidates offered by the two
parties. All of the addresses were en-
Enthusiastically received, the Republicans
joining the Democrats in cheering.
Two Days Strenuous Work
The meeting tonight ended a two
day invasion into the country of the
enemy, during which the speakers
have a spent a strenuous time. The
party reached Duluth this forenoon and
until the train left for Two Harbors,
where an early evening meeting was
held, Mr.. Johnson was kept busy re-
ceiving callers at his quarters at the
St Louis hotel Dozens of Repub-
icans called and declared their inten-
tions of voting for the Democratic
nominees,
At Two Harbors, the town of big
docks and workingmen, r. N. Osh-
lund, the Republican clerk of the
courts, headed the reception commit
tee, and scores of the Lake county Re-
publicans came to hear Mr.. Johnson
talk. Lake county will go for Roose-
velt but even Republicans admit that
Johnson will have from 200 to $50 ma
jority over Dunn there. 1t is strong
Scandinavian community, and there is
sentiment against Dunn there. The
Two Harbors meeting was held in the
open air and hundreds of laborers who
had finished their days work came to
hear the speakers. James CoggsweH,
Republican customs officer and editor
of the Republican Iron News, says
Johnson will have a big majority in the
county, although Roosevelt will car
ry it.
Mr.. Johnson and his party left Du-
luth for the Twin Cities tonight with
the firm conviction that the trip to
this section of the state had been pro-
ductive of great results.
Republican Votes Lacking
1t is declared by Democrats and ad-
mitted by Republicans here in Duluth
that Dunn will have less than 1 1000 ma
