FAIRBANKS SINGS The
PRAISES OF HIS PARTY
Vice Presidential Nominee, Aided by United
States Senators Clapp, Hansbrough and Doiver,
Tells Republican Followers How Their Party Is
Responsible for All Good Times and Charges
Adverse Conditions to Democracy

Four Republican United States SEN
ators fell on the inoffensive Democracy
of Minnesota last night and talked it
into the earth.
The Peoples church, synonym of
brotherly love and fellowship, was the
scene of the verbal assault, and the
gray stone church rang with the
plaudits of $500 Republican laymen
who had fought for places in the wait
ing line for an hour before the doors
swung open and gave access to them,
while several hundred more turned
away from the inhospitable doors and
returned to their homes.
Senator Charles w. Fairbanks, of In
diana, vice presidential nominee Of his
party and one Of it's most jealous, if
not its most enthusing, advocate, was
the strong attraction for the assembled
Republicans and possibly more SO with
the ones who were unable to gain an
admission to the auditorium to witness
the uncorking of the eloquence pro-
vided through the Kindness Of the
Ramsey county Tigers-more formally
known as the Roosevelt Club of st.
Paul.
Senator DelIiver, Of Iowa, was only
second in interest to his distinguished
fellow traveller, while Senator Moses
E. Clapp, of st. Paul, and Senator H.
c. Hansbrough, of North Dakota, COM
pleted the senatorial quartette. r. G.
Dunn, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, shared in a measure the atten-
ton OF the audience, though it must
be confessed that beside the brilliant
80 ho lot NTr, n,1r,r c11f-
fered in the contrast. He wisely at
tempted nothing beyond mere state
ment of his candidacy, with an indorse-
ment of Senator Clapp and the ex-
preston of his belief in the Junior SEN
ator's eventual reelection.
Gen. H. w. Childs, of st. Paul, for
mer attorney general, presided at a
curtain raiser, with Senator Hans
brough in the role of leading man.
Senator Knute Nelson, weary after his
Madison mission of the night before,
occupied seat on the platform, but
while there were cries for the senior
senator by some of the young men of
the Roosevelt club for more pabulum
with the Alexandria man as the pabu-
lator, Senator Nelson refrained from
forcing the Roosevelt young men to an
infraction of their early hour regula-
lions. On the platform with the sena-
torial quartette were Condo Hamlin,
who introduced Senator Clapp, who in
turn introduced the other speakers,
William Henry Eustis, of Minneapolis,
and Congressman Charles r. Davis, of
st. Peter.
, s-~ Special Train Is Late
The distinguished party sent out by
the Republican national committee to
convert the untamed Democracy of
the West, travel, as is SO frequently
the custom, by special train. The spe-
cial did not reach st. Paul last night
on schedule time. Early reports said
it was due at O'clock, later corree-
tons announced its time at z and 1T
arrived at the union station at 1855.
The train had made stops during the
day at Houston, LaneSbofo, Dexter,
Austin, Albert Lea, Owatonna, Fari-
bault and Northfield. That town was
not on the original itinerary, but Joel
P. Heatwole had used his influence
with his old friend, Senator Fairbanks.
and had secured a change In the
schedule permitting stop at North
field. The result proved the wisdom of
JoePs judgment, for it was admitted

On the train when it arrived at the
station were: Senator Fairbanks and
his son; Senator C. A. Dolliver, OF
Iowa; Senator Clapp, r. C. Dunn, Con-
gresham James A. Tawney, of Wi

The party had dined on the train be-
fore reaching St. Paul and were met at
the station by a committee of reception
consisting of President Arthur w. Ly-
man, of the Lincoln club; President
Hugh 7. Halbert, of the Roosevelt
club; Dean W. w. Liggett, of the state
agricultural college; Postmaster E. r
McGill, Eli S. Warner, Albert H. Lin

Ryan hotel. There was no stop at the
hotel, but here the formal escort of the

went up Sixth street and Pleasant av-
enue to the Peoples church, Pleasant
avenue and Chestnut street, where the
meeting was to be held in the absence
of any other suitable auditorium.
For an hour before the opening OF
the political meeting the doors of the
church had been thronged with null
titude, for the most part drawn by {
natural interest to see and hear vice
presidential candidate. When thu
available seats were taken, save q sec.

Crowd Waits in Patience

in the streets on each side of the hotel
and the police were kept busy forcing
paths through the crowds for pedes.
