WHAT SENATOR brewer SAYS.
st. Cloud Attorney in ST. Paul Speech
Eulogizes Mr.. Dunn

st. Cloud Attorney in ST. Paul Speech
Eulogizes Mr.. Dunn.
In a speech in St. Paul last week
Senator r. B. Brewer of St. Cloud
said in the course of his remarks:
"We do not hear anything about
Parker and Davis in Minnesota.
Nobody hears their names mentioned
from Democratic platform. There
must be something behind this.
Mr.. johnson, the Democratic can
dldate for governor, spoke in St.
Cloud the other day. He said it was
relief to come. to a Democratic
county, but during the extended ad-
dress there was not a single mention
Of the names Of the standard bearers
OF his party. There is a method in
this policy. It is consistent, con-
tinued, uninterrupted attempt by the
Democrats to secure from the Repub-
licans the election of man who is Op-
posed to the policies of the Republi-
can party.
what would be the effect of such
an event? If Mr.. johnson is elected
1t will be difficult to arouse and unite
the Republican party two years hence
1t will be difficult to elect Republican
congressman to carry out Republican
national policies. It will be difficult
to elect the United States senator next
time. This is true and more. Demo-
cratic representation inf Washington
from the Republican State of Mime
sofa will result in opposition and as
sault upon Republican principles, a
state of affairs which every Republi-
can of the State would live to regret.
They will not do such a thing in a
moment of forgetfulness.
Il came to St. Paul to the Republic
can State convention from a county
which is proud to claim Judge Collins
as a citizen. We came to win the fight
for our candidate, but we came with
the feeling that we would abide by the
will OF the convention, and the people
OF Stearns county have indicated
since then that they will abide by the
result of the convention. From the
time James A. Martin moved to make
Mr.. Dunn's nomination unanimous
we have been for r. G. Dunn and are
for him now
There necessarily was some defec-
ton because Of the strong feeling en-
gendered by the pre-convention con-
test, but the time has come for united
party action, and I an confident that
the Republican voters of Minnesota
will think more of the success of Re-
publican principles than they do of
the failure OF their candidate to Sc
cure nomination.
II know r. c. Dunn. I have been
associated with him for years. He
stands high among his neighbors and
is appreciated by them as a man of
high character and attachments. We
want to see him elected as the next
governor of the State.''
Senator Brewer referred to some of
the charges which have been brought
against Mr.. Dunn. He said the peo-
pie of the State want to see exact JUS
tice done and they will make this fact
known by electing the Princeton man.
as a refutation to the unjust and
malicious charges which the Demo-
Gratis are bringing against his char
acter. ..s
-Four years ago when the people of
the State were anxious for party sue
cess. they waited for a statement from
Mr.. Dunn outlining the issues of the
campaign. That statement came from
the Princeton man and it was the bull
wark OF the party in that sanguinary
campaign. Mr.. Dunn's election will
show that we believe in the principles
Of the Republican party. Let it be
known after Nov. S that Minnesota
has turned up a great majority for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks and elected
State Republican ticket headed by
r. G.. Dunn
Political "Expediency.''
The Democrats of Minnesota in
nominating John A. Johnson for gov
ernor were actuated by motives not
altogether of the most honorable de-
scription. To thinking men of the
State who know the two men, the ac-
ton of the party in putting Johnson
at the head of the ticket and Winston
second, instead of vice versa, would
be an enigma were it not that there is
one reason which ought to be plain
and palpable enough. So far as gen
ulne ability and ripe business expe-
rience is concerned Winston is much
the ADLER man of the two. But ex-
pediency dictated that johnson should
be placed at the head of the ticket.
