Tie Will ring TlSuC away.
Congressman c. A. Lindbergh, OF
Little Falls, is billed to speak at the
opera house next Saturday night. Mr..
Lindbergh is well known here and has
many friends. Well, Mr.. Lindbergh is,
i'll no sense, a wind jammer" or a
player to the galleries, yet he talks
good, sound, common sense and is an
Interesting speaker 1t is just pos
sible that another speaker may ac-
company him, though this is not GER
tain at this writing.
The local republican club is trying
to secure U. S. Senator Moses e.
Clapp for a speech during the cam
paign. Senator Clapp is a famous
stump speaker and will draw like a
musard plaster. A date has not yet
been secured for the senator, but
President H. F. Alden, of the club,
hopes to get him to come.
The democrats are not asleep. Ar
rangements are under way to get
date for Gov. John A. Johnson, at
Sauk Centre. The governor is proba-
bly, the most popular campaign orator
in Minnesota today, and if he should
come, there would be no hall in Sauk
Centre big enough to hold the people
who would want to hear him.
A democratic club was recently or
ganized in st. Cloud at which there
was great enthusiasm A committee
on constitution was appointed consis-
ting of Judge Klasen, J. E. c. Robin
sou and Fred Schilplin. A committee
to recommend a list of officers was
named, which consisted of j. R. BEN
nett, Jr., Karl Mathie and Peter Span
iol. H. ]. Limperich and Gerhard May
were appointed to look up rooms.
Much enthusiasm was manifested and
the club bids fair to be great sue
cess. 1t was announced at this meet
ing that Governor johnson would pro-
bal ly speak at st. Cloud and Sauk
Centre during the campaign.
On Monday evening of this week
there was a joint meeting of the
democratic county committee and the
nominees for county offices chosen at
the recent primaries. Campaign plans
were discussed.
In last Sundays Minneapolis Jour-
nal there appeared long article from
the pen of Chas. B. Cheney, the Jour-
nails we'll known political writer, des-
crriptive of the Taft campaign through
Minnesota and other western states
with his special train. Mr.. Cheney
was aboard this train for five days
reporting the incidents along the
line for his paper. Mr.. Chcney's
article is very readable and gives the
public an insight into the operation
of the train and the clock like regu-
larity with which everything on board
is run.
In the same issue of the Journal,
Jerry Jermaen, the papers well known
Washington correspondent, writes
that the impression at the national
capital is that Taft's voice has given
out and that Roosevelt will soon take
the stump in the big candidates be
half. This does not seem to be
borne out by Mr.. Cheney in his let
ter. Mr.. Cheney thinks. just what
every fair-minded man who heard Mr..
Taft here, that while he is not a
brilliant campaign orator like Bryan.
nor player to the galleries, yet that
he talks good, sound sense and that
his personality is pleasing and makes
friends wherever he goes. Mr.. Chem
ev expresses the opinion that Mr..
Taft's trip has been productive Of
] good results for his cause.
