Dunn"
Lind's Four Points
Owing to the limited time given the
speakers, Mr.. Lind did not go into the
record of Mr.. Dunn as far as he would
have been permitted had he not been
compelled to divide his time with an
other speaker.
He touched upon four points. The
first was the claim of the former state
auditor that he was responsible for
the saving to the state of a large por-
ton of the unearned land grant of the
Little Falls & Dakota road.
He ridiculed this portion of the rec
ord OF the candidate for governor and
showed that while he was governor he
had insisted that there should be no
compromise. but the case should go
to the courts.
He also read an interesting letter
Som the comptroller of the Southern
Minnesota road, in which he said that,
in view of the fact that he had fur
nished George A. Finn, land clerk in
the Office of tie state auditor, trans
portation for three years in order to
keep him posted on certain matters. it
was bare-faced deal to find that the
title to some land claimed by his road
had been transferred to the aforesaid
Finn.

-Four thousand persons thronged the
spacious Minneapolis auditorium last
night to listen to discussion of the
merits of Robert c.. Dunn as q candi-
date for governor, between Congress-
man John Lind and James A. Peter
sor. who has managed the campaign
In Minneapolis.
If the expressions OF the crowd as IL
left the hall can be taken as a cri-
terion. at least three thousand OF the
four thousand men in the hall will vote
for John A Johnson for governor at
the election next Tuesday
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
and had the hall been larger ii would
have been filed.
The question at issue was something
like the following:
Resolved. That Robert c. Dunn is
not qualified for the Office OF governor
of the state OF Minnesota
Mr.. Lind had the affirmative and
Mr.. Peterson the negative. Mr.. Lind
discussed the record of the former state
auditor. who is the Republican candi-
date for governor, and Mr.. Peterson
devoted nearly all Of his time TO dis
eussion OF the record OF Congressman
Lind while governor, and rarely did he
mention the name of the candidate
whose qualifications he was supposed
10 explain to the anxious populace.

Then Mr.. Lind went into the Bier
mann deed to the Great Northern and
showed that Mr.. Dunn's claim that he
had, compelled that road to accept the
lands selected by his predecessor was
unfounded He also said Mr.. Dunn
had said he had been commissioned
to sell some of these lands and had
received commission for his work.
Riddles Dunn's Claims
Then he tackled the Duluth & Iron
Range land grant and riddled the
claims OF Mr.. Dunn that he was the
man who had saved large quantities Of
valuable lands to the state
The "fiatiron'' mineral land lease and
numerous other leases in which the
names of the employees of the state au-
ditor's Office figured were referred to,
and in conclusion the congressman
said:
Will be charitable, but no prudent
nor careful public official would permit
his land clerk to traffic in the most
valuable property of the state to the
detriment and prejudice of the citizens.
If he did not know they were doing
this it was his duty to know it,"
Then Mr.. Peterson came to the front.
He made much of the fact that when
he was governor Mr.. Lind had pur-

TRUSTS AID pops"
They supply Watson and Debs
Campaign Funds

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The Brooklyn
Eagle says that Judge Parker's recent
utterances With respect to the corrupt
Influence OF trusts in elections have
made a profound impression. They are
accepted as final evidence that the
enormous trust interests of the coun-
try are in the field against the election
Of Judge Parker, and consequently for
the election of Roosevelt.
All politicians know that trust mon
ey has not gotten into the campaign
treasures of the Democracy in the
Middle West. The Democratic state
and local committees in Illinois, In
diana Wisconsin. Minnesota and Mich
igan have raised modest funds among
themselves, which have been but
slightly augmented by the national
committee for uses of the ordinarily
inexpensive Democratic campaign. The
trusts have put no money into the
Democratic state campaigns of the
West, as they have put none into the
national campaign. because. as Judge
Parker has charged. they have pur-
chased future immunity from state
and national Republican administra-
tions, which they assume are to be
continued, with their aid, in power.
Where the trust money Is actually GO
ing is into the Populist and Socialist
campaigns.
It is broadly asserted that nine Of
every ten dollars now being spent IN
the interest of Watson. Popuhsf can

pacity for over 1900 people, was who'll

Never has a candidate for governor

PARKER AROUSES
GOTHAM AUDIENCE
Receives Continuous Ovation
as He Speaks in Madison
Square Garden

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Judge Par
lker tonight made his first platform
appearance away from his home at
Esopus since his nomination as the
Democratic candidate for president.
He addressed a monster mass meeting
held in, Madison Square garden, where
his reception was attended by a DEM
onstration seldom equaled, both in the
intensity and the duration of the en-
thusiasm displayed. The nearest ap-
proach was that which followed the
nomination of Judge Parker at st.
Louis and later the Endorsement by
the same convention of the candidates
now famous gold telegram.
Not only was the appearance of
Judge Parker cheered, but every men,
tion of his name by speakers who pre-
ceded him provoked outbreaks of ap-
plause. The tumult of unrestrained
enthusiasm which accompanied Judge
Parker's entrance TO the garden was
in contrast TO the close attention CIV
en- him during his speech of half an
hour. While his address was punctu-
ated by applause, the throng which fill
ed the garden to it's capacity was
markedly considerate in its treatment
of the candidate. He had but to raise
his hand to gain control of his audi
ence. Though his voice was not strong,
he could be heard in every part OF the
building.
Appeals to Popular Demand
Judge Parker's speech was of a
character intended TO appeal to the
popular demand as well as to the au-
dience which gathered upon invitation
of the Parker and Davis Business Mems
association, under whose auspices the
meeting was held. II dealt with meth
DDS of collecting campaign funds, and
in this respect the candidate took Sc
| verely to task his Republican oppo-
| nents. He discussed the tariff and
trusts. He told of his own participa-
ton, in political campaigns and asked
his audience If 1t would not like to re-
turn to what he termed the old-fash-
ioned principles. and his effort was a
scathing arraignment of the present
administration from the Democratic
point OF view.
The meeting was called to order By
j. Hampden Robb, president of the
Business Mems association, who ir-
troduced Isidor Strauss. who presided
