ALL PARTIES JOIN
IN DEMONSTRATION
GREAT CLOSING RALLY OF THE
JONES' CAMPAIGN. ~.. >>~+ +
Hundreds Had to Be Turned Away
from Auditorium, Where Speakers of
Every Political Faith Endorsed the
Policy Of a Better Minneapolis.

Three thousand citizens of Mime
apolis packed the Auditorium last night
and joined in grand non-partizan de-
monstration in honor of Mayor David
P. Jones. In full accord with the may
or's dictum that city government is
business, not politics, republicans, dem
ocrats and prohibitionists met on com
mon ground, sunk their political differ
ences, and gave their united indorse-
ment to the present city administration.
The meeting from first to last was
an inspiration to good citizenship. It
was a splendid outpouring of men and
women with their hearts in common
cause. In fact, the great Auditorium
was all too small for the crowd that
swarmed to the meeting. Every seat
utes after the hour the doors were
closed to prevent dangerous overcrowd-
ing. Every speaker was given an
ovation and the spirit Of the evening
was notable in the history of Minneap-
oils campaigns. The Roosevelt club
led again and again in ringing cheers
for the speakers, and every one heard
from was interrupted again and again
for applause when telling points were
made. ....
Mayor Jones came in long before the
oJnef program was nnlShed, and was
introduced for just a few W ords so he
could go on to another meeting. The
great audience rose and saluted him as
one man, cheering for fully five min
utes. The mayor hadn It time to make
a speech and observed that the people
before him evidently didn't need one.
He was going to see if he could find
some more votes that needed rounding
up. ~s
While the audience gathered Rev. G..
L. Morrill, gave program on the big
organ, and the people joined in sing
ing patriotic airs. The. curtain rose
about 8:l5, disclosing hall packed on
three floors and the stage, and with a
most unusual combination occupying
the front row. Republicans, demo
Gratis and prohibitionists were all rep
resented, and the audience cheered the
moving spectacle.
