REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Oct. 22.-
The Lind meeting here last night was
the largest and most enthusiastic ever
| held in the history of Redwood county.
The meeting was held in the court
house and the room was packed to the
stairways. Chairs were placed in the
aisles and around the judges bench,
and at least 700 people were in the au
dience. Mayor Philbrick presided and
| introduced Congressman Lind, and such
well known Republicans as Capt. w. P,
Huntington, Till Tibbetts and others,
who are strong supporters of Johnson
and Winston, sat on the platform with
the speaker. The hall was handsomely
decorated and delegations from sthe
surrounding towns were present, some
their old friend speak TO them on state
issues, in which they are vitality inter-
ested
Mr.. Lind was at his best and deliv-
cred most forcible and convincing
| address. He took up r. C. Dunn's rec
ord as shown by his pamphlet and es-
| tablished the falsity of the claims sad-
| Vanced for the former state auditor.
| He showed by the record that in Sfhe
Little Falls & Dakota railway grant,
| instead of saving the state -$40O, coo, as
| he claims, Mr. Dunn really lost to the
state 35, 600 acres of land by his settle
| ment. He reiterated his charges of
-recklessness on the part of Dunn in the
Duluth & Iron Range land grant and
| declared that the damage done the
states interests would run into the mill
lions. The record of Ray w. Jones, Re
publican candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, was exploited by the former gov
| ernor, and Mr.. Lind challenged his old
| Republican friends to vote for a con-
vieted timber thief He closed with an
] eloquent tribute to John A. Johnson,
his private character and his public
services, and an appeal to, voters, ire
1 spective of party, to vote for Fs q.
! Winston and the others on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Mr.. Lind was given an ovation on
his conclusion, and he was congratu-
lated by many Republicans, who said
| that for the first time in their lives
| they would vote Democratic state
! ticket. Mr. Lind's speech was Of great
value in this section of the state. Red
| wood county is one Of the counties IN
! his old Second district and he is ac-
| quainted with almost every voter IN the
county.
The North Redwood and Redwood
Falls bands furnished music, giving a
concert before the meeting. A delega-

! Morton in the afternoon during thlr-
| ty-minute stop Of his train.
