Important Gathering in This City This Afternoon
Cooper Blaisdell, Bickford Johnson M. N
johnson and Other NotabIes Present

ernOr, was one of the speakers. Mr..
johnson believes in working for the
National ticket, first, last and all of
the time, and citing the voters to
the past years of prosperity under
Republican government. Like Mr..
Johnson, Secretary of State Blaisdell,
thinks that more can be accomplish
ed with the doubtful voters, by in
shilling them with Taft and Sherman
enthusiasm, and Republican doctrine.
Gov. Devine and Judge Palda were
two of the speakers who believe
that principle more than the candi-
dates, themselves, should be upper
most in the minds of the voters.
Gov. Devine stated that the Demo
Gratis were trying to claim the credit
for championing the cause of the
working man, when in reality the
Republicans had ever been their
friend. He believes that it will be
necessary for the speakers in the
present campaign to dwell upon this
fact
M. N. Johnson, candidate for the
nomination to the U. S.. senate,
was present and made an urgent
plea for all to stand by the ticket,
and he can see a great Republican
victory ahead. Mr.. Johnsons re-
marks were well received.
Editor Rockney of the Mohall
News stated that on Friday night a
Taft club was to be organized at
Mohall, and Mr.. Gray. stated that a
Taft club had already been organic
ed at Kenmare. Other Taft clubs
will be organized, one in Minot, no
doubt.
Among other prominent men of
the state present, and making
speeches were Editor Mitchell of
Kenmare. Ware Of Macroom, Sauer
of Tolley. Paulson of Crosby, Linde
of Plaza, Hart Of Ryder, Snyder of
Kermit, c. Stratton of Sawyer,
eleven OF Max, Sydney Adams, Mar
shall's campaign manager from
Ransom county, Martin. Anderson of
Stanley, Child Of Kenmare, N. Davis,
candidate. for county Judge, L. A.
Larson, candidate for county audi.
Hor, A. G. Needrad, candidate for
treasurer. John iWallin, candidate fol
the senate and others.
Before adjourning, the crowd arose
in thanking Manager Bacon for the
free use of the opera house.
At the conclusion of the meeting
the executive committee held q
meeting at the Office of James John
son, at which time it was decided
that each candidate should be as
sessed ten per cent of his first years
salary for campaign fund.
