The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1904-07-14


been fought and won in that city.
Every precinct in which Mr.. Dunn
spoke he carried. He predicted that
Hennepin county would give Dunn the
biggest majority it ever gave any can
didate.
Hon. Sherman Smith of Mime
apolis spoke briefly and at the conclu-
sion of his remarks Mr.. Dunn was in
PRODUCED and spoke at some length.
He said that no man was ever blessed
with more devoted following than he
had during the contest for the nomin-
alton. The support that was accorded
him at home was a great inspiration
and had a tremendous effect. The
band of loyal men from Princeton
who went down to St. Paul accom-
plished more good than any who par
ticipated ever dreamed of. His
friends in the State convention were
as loyal a lot as ever assembled in
any convention. Mr.. Dunn remarked
that his victory was the victory of the
plain, common people. His enemies
had referred to the Democratic sup
port given him, but he said he con-
sidered the hearty support of men of
opposite political belief compliment,
and his enemies were welcome to make
all the capital they could out of it.
He appreciated the fact that it was
the plain, common people, the men
who follow the pillow, who WELD the AK,
who toll with hammer and saw. who
contributed so much to his nomina-
ton.
eff I am elected governor said
Mr.. Dunn: II will pursue the same
course as when State auditor. There
is not an official act of mine as State
auditor that I would not perform
again if | had the chance. If I am
elected governor I will do my duty
without fear or favor, All will re-
ceive courteous treatment, be they
black or white, Jew or Turk, Protest
ant or Catholic, or whatever they may
be. The multi-millionaire will receive
no more attention than the humblest
settler in Mile Laos county nor as
much.'
Mr.. Dunn said that he would not
dictate to the legislature what it should
do and what it should not do. He be-
lieved that the three branches of State
government should act separately and
independently of one another If
elected he said he would attend solely
to the duties of the executive branch of
the government, though would take an
interest in the passage of such laws as
will prove beneficial to the people in
general. Corporate wealth of the
State should pay it's proportionate
share of taxes, and the tax laws should
be so amended that the least possible
burden should rest on the wage earners
and small producers.
He referred to his home town and
county, and remarked that should he
be elected governor he would at he
close of his public service return to
Princeton, ''for my heart is always
with Princeton and Mile Laos
county. No more loyal or devoted
people can be found anywhere than in
Princeton. Princeton people are al
ways loyal, sympathetic and charita-
ble.''
He spoke in praise of his many
friends for their unselfsh interest in
his success, and while complimenting
his loyal workers in the twin cities
and throughout the State he spoke
personally of the work done in his in
terest in Hennepin county by E.. L.
Mcmillan of Princeton and Henry
Whiting of Spencer Brook, and he
referred to the work of T. Fl. Calev
as a member of the committee on Gre
dentials who looked after Mr.. Dunn's
interests SO closely.
After the reception at the opera
house. the Princeton Dunn club and

Commercial hotel There were about
100 present and Morneau Bros. added
new hOnOrs to the Commercial bv
serving supper that was fully equal
to the best that metropolitan caterers
could get up. The dining room was
fitted up in a way that made all feel
an air of welcome. The tables were
decorated with carnations and wild
flowers and the menu was greatly
relished.
The local committees made every
effort to entertain the visitors. who
departed for their homes Tuesday feel
ing that Princeton hospitality was all
wool and yard wide.
