| L. A. RoSING
Appointed Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee
tically forty years was successful
John Lind gave the state an admins
| tration that was the best Minnesota
| has ever had, and with the prestige of
one good administration it is not hard
| to go before the people now and make
a reasonable appeal to them to sup
port the candidates nominated at
Minneapolis.
Il shall place myself at the disposal
Of the committee and trust that you
VIII see fit to use me, day or night,
| until the campaign closes. I know
that I shall have the hearty co-opera :
ton of the state central committee,
and the committee shall have my
earnest cooperation for the success of
the ticket from Winston to Kelso.
1T is not necessary to pay tributes to
my associates on the ticket, but it is a
happy aoSdly WACT SuCn IIleu DIS Z.
Winston sacrifice self for the common
cause of the success of the ticket. 1t
is an inspiration to be placed in the
fighting ranks with such men as these,
and we are going before the people on
platform of principles that must APP
peal to the reason of thinking men. If
the election were to be held today we
would win, and unless great changes
take place we will win in November.
We will prosecute clean, vigorous
campaign, and if we do not win it will
not be our fault. trust the commit
tee will feel called upon to ask me to
serve day or night until the 8th day Of
November"
F. G. Winston Speaks
Mr.. johnson was given a vigorous
and hearty applause when he had COM
l-pleted his brief but inspiring address,
and F G. Winston, candidate for lieu
tenant governor, was called upon. Mr..
Winston was cordially received and
made most acceptable address.
E7r"As the days go by I am more than
ever proud of the fact of my nominal
ton on ticket headed by John A.
Johnson he said. "Clean, straight
forward and honorable in every walk
of life,ss make the prediction that just
SO. surely as the sun rises on the 8th
day of November he will be elected
governor of Minnesota. 1 shall be sat
isfied if he shall win. I only ask a
fairly complimentary vote: that I be
not too badly defeated. 1 will be will
ing to stay at home. The disaffection
! in the Republican party is spreading
instead of decreasing. Of this I am
satisfied from my letters and from
friends who have been out through the
state. More and more the farmers of
this state realize that the pine and
mir QYol 70 af1
lions of dollars has been diverted from
the school fund of the state, and that
is a sacred thing to the people of this
state. They look on the school fund
next to the flag. And they can rely on
one thing, and that is that if the Dem
ocratic party elects it's governor it
will throw around that fund it's pro-
tecting arms and not single dollar
will be lost to the fund. Personally.
shall be willing to work day and night
for the ticket; the committee may use
me anywhere in the state. I hope for
victory all along the line, but 1 GER
tainly expect the election of John A.
Johnson as governor of the state.'
Editor Hoards Good Tidings
E. H. Hoard, the Montevideo editor,
nominated for railroad and warehouse
commissioner, brought good tidings
from his section of the state. He said:
Quite considerable portion of the
Republicans of my district who usually
vote her straight will this year vote
split ticket. feel sure they will be-
gin by skipping their own candidate
for governor and putting cross after
the name of John A. Johnson. / shall
encourage them to continue to split
the ticket, believing that the Demo-
Gratis have a better. ticket to support
that the Republicans have. / am proud
Of 1,ny Of = l,a nj
proud of the honor, whether we win or
not, provided the people show good
judgment and elect Johnson as gov
ernor. 1 believe it is a good ticket and
that we have a strong set of principles
behind it, and / will support the ticket
and the principles behind it"
W.T.. Kelso, who was introduced as
the father of Democracy in Northern
Minnesota, said he had been Demo-
crat for tlairty-fiye years and for TWEEN
ty-five years of the time he had been
a Minnesota Democrat. He had been
nominated to forlorn hopes SO many
times that he had come to the belief
that he was the utility horse in the
barn.
II was not a candidate for the nomi-
nation" Mr.. Kelso said, but never
went back on the call of the party, and
especially when I can fight under the
leadership of such men as John A.
Johnson and f. G.. Winston. 1t is an
honor to go to defeat with men like
these, and an honor to go down to de-
feat under the Democratic flag any
way" He expressed the belief that-at
least part of the ticket would be
elected.
T. J. McDermott, candidate for at
torney general, made a vigorous speech
in which he promised to prosecute the
thieves who had robbed the school
fund if he were elected. He counSeled
fast, active campaign; the burden
rested on the committeeman and if they
did their duty the battle would be won.
B. J. Mosier, candidate for state
treasurer, thanked the committee for
its friendly intentions and said he
would do his share.
On invitation, ]. G. Pyle, editor of

reports being made and making some
suggestions as to the prosecution of
