Unstinted praise has been showered
upon Minneapolis by the veterans of
the: Grand Army, and the men who have
engineered the encampment are tired
but happy. There was praise for the
management, praise for the populace,
and praise for the city itself.
From commander-in- chief down, the
veterans who have been in Minneapolis
are talking about Minneapolis and her
city which entertained the encamp-
ment twenty-five years ago, but the vet
Grams say that the realization eclipsed
the expectation, and that the place Of
the city in the hearts Of the old SOL
diers is assured.

ness, it's park SYSTEM: it's lakes, it's en-

| Around the, Grand Army headquar-

4 Members of: the commanders party,
returning to 4the hotel after drives
thru the city and suburbs, were ,enthu.

conversation invariably ended, how.

that, it had not, a larger number OF
hotels.
Past Commander Tanner and Com
mander Brown were among the distin

siastic in their praises of Minneapolis
but one thing struck them both anc
was frequently mentioned in their con
yersations in regard to the city-the
dearth in hotel capacity.
Commander Tanner said: "You]

The Grand Army Men.

This committee was assisted by an
executive committee of five from the
Grand Army council Of twenty-five as
follows: -. e..
silas T. fowler, Junior vice COM
mander-in:chief;; Ell Torrance, past
commander-in chief; Loren W. Collins,
member of the executive committee Of
the national council Of administration;
Samuel R. Van SAINT, past department
commander; Levi Longfellow, depart
ment commander of Minnesota. ~.
Too much credit cannot be given the
members of this committee for their
work. The encampment affairs had the
benefit Of their time and experience at
all times and freely. For two weeks
the members Of the executive commit
tee have devoted practically all Of
their time to the work. They have done
duty as department clerks, Red Cross
men, have manned megaphones at the
stations to direct the crowds, have done
guides , work and information service,
as well as cared for the weighty affairs
and responsibilities Of the encampment.
Every man has. put his shoulder to the
wheel, and when help of any sort was
needed, has ....been there with the
goods. . In fact, the men on this COM
mittee have acted as members not only
of their own committee, but, when nee
essary, have jumped into the breach for
others.

G. e. Adams, the well known Du-
luth attorney and Republican candid
ate for the nomination for County
Attorney was in Ely Friday in the
interest of his campaign. He had
just come from thorough canvass of
the range towns and reports a very
cordial reception of his candidacy
everywhere and fiattering prospects
of a winning fight.
Mr.. Adams received mis- training in
the schools of Minnesota, graduating
from the Collegiate and Law Depart
ment of the State University. Since
graduating he has practiced his prof
esSion at Duluth where he has won
high rank as trial la wyer and Coun-
sellor. He has been an active worker
in the Republican party for some
years and is speaker of ability and
experience. He stands for firm but
fair enforcement of the law and prom
ises, if elected, to be the "Peoples
Attorney" in the full sense. He is
recognized as able, cautions and cour-
ageous, and if chosen to this import
ant Office, will safely represent the
legal interests of ST. Louis county.
He asks the support of all citizens at
the primaries on Sept. 18th.

Some of the southern papers are
shouting themselves hoarse and in
thunderous tones proclaim that
johnson has made a good gov
euor." What did they expect? OF
course Johnson has made good
governor. Anyone reading their
illusions would naturally suppose
they had Dissolved something re-
markable. Johnson is of the ma
terial of which good governors are
made, bright, honest and with
ability. What has he done more
than his predecessors who did
equally as we'll and in some cases
much better. There is no one
making any great kick on Johnson.
1t is the do-nothing policy of the
party he represents that is on
trial, The party of progress will
elect the next governor of Mime
sofa and his name is Cole.
