CALLS HOOSIERS
TO THIER HOMES
State Committee Furnishes
Varsity Students With
Free Tickets

Indiana Republicans realize they are
against hard proposition, and that pos
doubtful state. They are SO anxious to
poll-every vote that several students at
the Minnesota state university who can
claim a residence in the Hoosier state
and directed TO be at their homes next
Tuesday for the purpose of casting their
ballots for the Republican candidates for
president and vice president.
There are several Indiana men attend
ing the Minnesota university, and those
of the Republican faith have received
transportation to their hcmes and have
exhibited the tickets to their friends land
have told of the pleasant time they ex-
pect when they meet their relatives in
the Hoosier state. They have not hesitat-
ed to say that their expenses will amount
to little.
Made Votes for johnson
When John A. Johnson made his adj
dress in the Minneapolis auditorium some
weeks ago he made many votes, but he
did not make as many as James A. Peter
son, the Dunn manager in Hennepin coun-
ty, did when he attempted to meet John
Lind in debate Monday evening.
The congressman confined himself TO
the question before the houSe-the quail
fications of Robert c. Dunn for governor
and proved his position that he was not
the proper man TO be put at the head OF
the affairs of the state.
Mr.. Peterson had TO talk as long as the
referee would permit him, and when he
audience wanted him to discuss the Gues-
ton before the house and not the record
OF John Lind or any other governor.
Z The opinion of the Republican leaders
In Minneapolis is that if anything was
needed TO insure John A. Johnson a. ma :
Jorlty in Hennepin county, which viii
cast nearly $4,000 votes, it was the speech
of James A. Peterson.
The Democrats are elated over the
meeting and the Republicans are more
than disgusted-they are mad
PQtprSnn'c
made pitiful spectacle of himself, and
II he would consent to another debate
with the congressman from the Fifth dis
uiet there would be no question that Mr..
johnson would have plurality of 10000
in Hennepin county.
Fletcher Calls for Help
Loren Fletcher, the candidate for con-
gress on the Republican ticket from the
Fifth district, has decided he is up against
a hard proposition, and he has imported
w. Peters Hepburn, a congressman from
Iowa, who will make few talks in Min
neapolis in the interests of the man who
wants one more term in congress.
The man from Iowa arrived yesterday
morning. He was met by the former con-
gresham who took him to his. home and
trained him for his talk last night in the
third ward. Then he permitted the Iowa
man to mingle with the bulls and bears on
the chamber of commerce floor, but the
man who has private Office in the federal
building in Minneapolis was close at his
heels and did not allow any long talks on
the advantages of reciprocity with Can
ada.
Later one of the big milIers invited
Col Hepburn to lunch al the Minneapolis
club and the invitation was accepted. 1t
IS said Mr.. Fletcher managed to be hidden
to the feed
Last night the congressman talked in
the Third ward wigwam. He argued in
behalf of the former congressman whose
guest he is, and after Mr. Fletcher had
spoken his piece, D. p. Jones, who wants
TO be mayor of Minneapolis by grace of
republican votes, was permitted to show
himself. The meeting was a Fletcher talk
fest and the interests of the other cam
didates on the Republican ticket had
slight recognition.
