much the same a. his latter speech.
delivered at the Court House in the
afternoon, before large audience. !
Shortly before one O'Clock the Gov.
ernor and his party arrived at the
Court House, and another impromp-
tu reception was held in the probate
Office. where the head of the State
was surrounded by q throng sincerely
desirous Of shaking hands with 20 ad.
mirable character. The rainy and
depressing weather of the morning
continued during the day, but did not
deter q large numer of representative
citizens, farmers, business men, men
of means and laboring men, from
gathering to hear the address. And
the audience did not attend merely
from spirit of curiosity. They were
impelled by sincere motives and q sim
cere regard for the man, who has dur
ing the past two years, won the high.
est regard of all.
Chas. E. Vasaly, county chairman,
presided and the democratic campaign
brass band rendered several pleasing
musical numbers.
Judge Tiff was first introduced
and after a pleasing preamble. pro-
ceeded to q brief consideration of
some Of the questions IF the day.
During the past few years. SAID
Mr.. Tiff, 1T has been fund that
industry and commerce have under
gone many changes. From time to
time it has been essential and necessa-
~ to provide laws to salt the circum-
stance, and a. these laws are found,

lat1on, In his mind, should be enac1yd
80 that the individual may have his
rights. In this connection he dealt
briefly with the question of combines
and cooperation by the big concerns
to the detriment Of the Individual.
He is . firm believer that one Of the
most impo1t tant questions before the
American people today is legislation
to regulate the trusts. Regarding
the tariff question, Judge Tiff stated
that he thought the time had arrived
when the law ehould be revised on
this question. He dealt briefly with
the railroad question, aud stated that
while he believed that the railroads
are essential and necessary and that
they do more to improve the country
than any other one thing, still they
should be regulated 80 that each in.
dividual shall receive such benefts a.
he ought to receive. He be]ie2ed
that there should be much legislation
along this line.
In closing Judge Tiff stated that he
thought in this eau paign, as in the
last one, great many people will By
their votes declare sgainst partisan
politics. The voter today is much
more Independent than in years gone
by. He now reads and studies both
sides, and these enlightened men ap-
preciate the man rather than the par.
ty. It was this Independent. intelli-
gent voter who placed the best COVER
nor that Minnesota ever had in the
highest executive Office of the state.
Az time was very short, Judge Tiff
concluded his remarks stating that it
was q great pleasure to give way to
Governor John A. johnson.
Chairman Vasaly then introduced
Governor johnson, who was greeted
with great applause.
At the outotart he stated that he
was gratified that this campaign was
not q duplicate Of the campaign of
two years ago, whsn there was 30
much bitterness. This campaign had
been ono Of sober, thoughtful appeals
TO reason on his part. He thought
there was somethine higher than par
ty allegiance. The issue is the en-
forcement Of the law. There Is no
other iesue In the present campaign,
according to the governor. Tho great
currency and the expansion question
have now been settled. Il is .
straight appeal to reason an appeal to
the higher and nobler sentiments Of
the people Of tho state. He main.
tained that the administration of
which he has been the head il entitled
to great credit for many movements In
tho line Of reform.
The governor stated that whea he
was elected two years ago he pledged
himself to abide by aud enforce the
laws OF the state for the protection
OF the rights and heritage Of the peo.
pie. There are q number of achieve
ments In this line of which he is
proud. Government, he stated, is
divided into three parts: the execu.
tive, the legislative and the judicial.
It is for the legislative to lsy down
the laws. It is the province Of the
judiciary to interpret these laws and
it il the province and the duty of the
executive to administer the laws
without fear or favor. Two years
ago certain promises we're made along
this line. It is therefore a special
pride to the Governor to be able to
state that these promises had been
fulfilled.
