CASS LAKE, REPUBLICANS
HELD A ROUSING MEETING
Delivered Addresses.-Mr. Lndberg's Speech Was
Especially Good and He Made Big Hit.

Pioneer. )-At the largest. attended
and most enthusiastic political
meeting held in Cass Lake for
several years, last night, Congress-
man Lindberg, republican candidate
to succeed himself as congressman
from the Sixth district; B. F.
Wright of Park Rapids, republican
candidate for judge of the Fifteenth
Judicial district; and P. H. McGarry
of Walker, republican candidate
for representative in the legislature
from the Fifty-second district, adj
dressed the people of Cass Lake on
the issues of the present campaign,
from a republican standpoint.
The meeting was the initial
gathering of local voters, under the
auspices of the Cass. Lake republi-
can club, which is growing in num-
bers and enthusiasm for the repub-
lican candidates as each day brings
election day closer.
NJ. N. Kohl, receiver of the Cass
Lake land office, acted as chairman
of the meeting, and seated on the
stage were the speakers of the
evening and a goodly number of
local and county republicans.
B. F. Wright was the first speaker
introduced. Mr.. Wright spoke for
half an hour. his talk being along
the line of support for the entire
republican ticket. He saw no rea-
son why a voter who was repub-
lican should vote for an independent
candidate, who was at heart demo-
crat, and who, when campaign time
rolled around would give the money
he earned from the people to the
support of democratic candidates.
Mr.. Wright asserted that he was
a strong party man. He believed
in the principles of the republican
party and would support the candi-
dates of that party from the president
down to the most inferior county
office.
In conclusion Mr.. Wright said
that his principal object in coming
to Cass Lake was that he might see
the people, and more especially that
the people might see him, and know
who he was and what he looked like.
P. H. McGarry was called on
for some remarks, and when he
arose from his chair he was given
a splendid ovation, which was evil
IDENTIFY thoroughly appreciated by
the Walker man, who received a
splendid vote in Cass Lake, at the
primaries.
Mr.. McGarry spoke earnestly for
about twenty minutes, and his re-
marks were very we'll received. @
The speaker told of what the
different counties wanted of the next
legislature, referring to drainage in
Aitkin, equitable acts as to iron
ore taxation in Itasca, some tax
reforms for Koochiching, and last
the sixth normal school for Itasca
county.
Mr.. McGarry paid a splendid
tribute to ]. F. jacobson, the republi
can candidate for governor, and
recited where the adoption . of
measures which jacobson advocated
while a member of the legislature
had saved the state millions of dol
lars.
The speaker closed with an appea.
to the voters present to support the
republican candidate for governor
and repudiate the democratic state
executive.
Congressman Lindberg followed
Mr.. McGarry, in speech that was
an eye-opener to the people of Cass
Lake. Mr.. Lindberg is a splendid
talker, and he presented his points
in a convincing and eloquent man.
ner. His speech last night was by
far the best speech which has been
heard in Cass Lake during the las1
two campaigns. ..-.
Mr.. Lindberg started out by stat
ing that he was present at the
meeting for the purpose of telling
the people few things concerning
the issues of the present campaign
that would cause them to do some
thinking, and he believed their
