and he spoke in a jocular strain for
few minutes, and quickly reached the
hearts of everyone in the audience.
He remarked on the splendid ovation
to the citizen of Princeton who had
been chosen by great party as a
nominee for governor. Oar told of
the manner in which the citizens of
Princeton in heavy rain storm
marched through the streets of St.
Paul to do honor to their candidate
for governor, and he said that he
made up his mind at that time that no
one could beat a man whose people
turned out in that manner to support
him. Princeton sand could certainly
win any victory. He believed in
mental telepathy and stated in a
graphic manner how a great magnetic
wave of enthusiasm had swept over
the State. The present was an era of
good feeling in which all would join
as of one accord and elect Roosevelt
and, Dunn.
Hon. James A. Peterson of Mime
apolis followed Mr.. Reese, and spoke
in an interesting manner. He was
pleased to do honor to PrincetOri's
candidate, and said the strongest ar
gument that could be used for any
candidate was that his old neighbors
and people of his home town were
for him to man. Princeton's loyalty
was tower of strength all over the
whole State in the campaign for the
nomination for governor. Patriotism
and loyalty were the strongest in the
ranks of the common people.
Hon. Joel P. Heatwole was next in

stration on the part of the people Of
Princeton was an emphatic contradict
ton that "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country.' The

popular uprising Of the whole people.
In the convention that nominated Mr..
Dunn there were ffty-dve more votes

delegation. Mr.. Heatwole said he
brought the tidings of loyalty from
southern Minnesota, and stated that
the Republican candidate for governor
would have the largest majority ever
given a candidate for governor in
Minnesota.
Judge j. H. Steele Of Minneapolis,
one of Mr.. Dunn's true friends in
Hennepin county all through the fight.
complimented Princeton on it's loyalty
and remarked that in Hennepin county
loyalty didn It come in as solid chunks
as it does in Princeton, and there was
not that unanimity of sentiment that
is found in the smaller communities
throughout the State. The country as
a rule gets the best things politically,
'but." said Judge Steele. $50 long as
you give us as good a candidate as
you have tonight you are welcome to
all the honors. He said that it was
an inspiration to any young man that
it was possible in this country for
poor boy to rise to the highest station
in the State. Every man can elevate
himself by honesty and integrity, and
it is just as possible for poor boy to
rise from adversely as it ever was
W. j. Annon of Anoka was present

of the Republican county committee,
and he made few remarks which

1000 majority in that county for the
Princeton man.

Hon. Eli S. Warner of St. Paul was
introduced and was asked to tell how
Ramsey county was lost He said
that Hennepin county was somewhat
to blame for the weakness in Ramsey
because Hennepin had the Princeton
candidate most of the time. Mr.. War
ner thought that three-fourths of the
people were for Dunn and he would
have received their support if the
primary election law had applied to
State officials.
Hon. T. H. Girling, one of the active
party workers in Minneapolis and an
ardent Dunn supporter, gave an &C.
count of the campaign in Hennepin
county, and said that Hennepin would
roll up big majority for Dunn.
