Hoskins of Rolla, Rolette county, !
was called upon to state the condi-
tions in his locality. Mr.. Hoskins |
said in substance that Rolette county
was somewhat handicapped by a !
courthouse fight the east side Of the
county being arraigned against the
west. This made considerable of a
difference in the primary election but
he thought that this feeling would
not enter so strongly into the coming
campaign. By reason of this strife
there has not been as much outspoken
political expressions as there other
wise would be. Governor Burke for
merly lived at Rolla and had numer-
GUS personal friends in that locality.
Mr.. Hoskins suggested that county
politics should be made party politics.
Relative to situation this fall he
thinks that Rolette county will roll
up a big majority for the national
and state ticket and that there will be
less democrats, elected in the county
then there was at the last election.
Mr.. Hall stated at this time that
the state committee had received over
200 letters from newspaper men
throughout the state and that the
general sentiment lis very encourag-
ing, the party being united throughout
the state.
y Mr. Treadwell, of Towner county,
! stated that when he went to that
county there was a strong sentiment
there for Gov. Burke: but: that: he
J. thought that that sentiment mad
changed considerably and that, the
! ELECTION ID Town er eountyssaiM go very
l5strongly for the entire republican
ticket. He based his Judgment parti-
ally ON the fact that the primary
: showed very strong republican vote
and all conditions show a decided
gain for the republican party. He
stated further that he had no fears at
all for the result of the coming cleo
tion, as all factions are united In the
support of the ticket.
Mr. Goodsell, of Rolla;; stated that
his precinct was very close on gov.
ernor and state senator. but that the
county is almost sure to. go republican
in both Instances.
F. P. Mann, chairman of the Ram
?, sey county central committee thinks
the conditions In Ramsey county are
good. OF course this being the home
: of Gov Burke makes the vote fol
! governor q little doubtful, and for this
I reason he suggested that some strong
Il speakers should be sent to this coun
tty. 1T was his opinion that the county
will go strongly republican. The sen
timent of party politics /: in count,
