T.. J. McDermott addressed a Democratic
rally in Morris Wednesday evening. The
following is the account which appeared in the
St. Paul Globe.
MCDERNIOTT ADDRESSES BIG CROWD.
Special to The Globe.
Morris, Mimi, Oct. 26.-T. J. McDer-
mott, Democratic candidate for attorney
general, tonight addressed one of the
largest political meetings ever held at
Morris. The meeting larger
than addressed by r. C. Dunn, Republic
can candidate for governor when he
spoke here some time ago. At the con-
Clusion of the meeting a number of the
leading Republicans assured Mr. Nc
Dermott that they had concluded to
support Johnson and Winston and the
rest of the state ticket. Sentiment in
this section of the state seems largely
to favor Johnson as against Dunn.
Most surprising of all is the following from
the Minneapolis Journal @
Morris, Mimi, Oct PIT. T. McDermott,
Democratic candidate for attorney gen
era1, last night addressed one of the
largest political meetings ever held at
Norris The meeting larger than
the one addressed by r. G.. Dunn. SEN
timent in this section seems largely to
favor johnson as against Dunn.
AS the writer attended the meeting himself,
and on account of the small attendance, was
moved to count the persons present. we know
that the number did not exceed one hundred.
The seats consisted of planks laid across chairs,
and there were about the same number of per
sons there were chairs There were an es
pecially large number of Republicans, whose
loyalty to Dunn is unquestioncd who helped
make up the small audience
There were six or eight times as many people
at the Dunn meeting, the hall at that time be-
ing packed to the DOORS
We have no quarrel with the Globe or the
Journal for printing such unreliable reports if
they wish to, but such tactics is proof positive
to us that the johnson cause is waning and
that the reports of enthusiastic meetings are
kept up in order to try to bolster it up until
election day. But if there has been the same
change in sentiment elsewhere that there has
is at present running on hot air,
which will be awful1y chilled on Nov. 8th
The Russian Baltic squadron it's way to]
the far East committed most atrocious crime
against the usages of civilized nations by this
week firing upon the English fishing fleet in
the North sea, sinking one ship and killing or
several sailors, England is very
much wrought up over the affair and only
immediate apology and reparaton can prevent
trouble. The affair has not yet been explained
and can hardly qe explained except OIL the sup
position that the Russian commander was so
panic stricken as to think the fishing vessels
were Jap. torpedo boats in disguise.

Samuel Larson, Republican candidate for
register of deeds, and l.. L. Hanse Republican
candidate for sheriff, are worthy of endorse
ment by the people. The former is candidate

made that he has held office for twenty years |
This is untrue Twenty years ago he was clerk
Of court, brt.did not hold comfy Office again
until this one.
