desirable and Gov. johnson had not
shown he was entitled to break the
precedent of two terms established
in this state. Mr.. Owens is a pleas
ant speaker and always popular with
Redwood Falls people.

Representative Bendixen made a
short speech. saying that he had
served one term and was asking re
election on his record and promises.
That he was willing to stand square
ly on the platform of the county and
state conventions and would support
any legislation promised therein.
Mr.. Albert Emerson made a very
short and a very good five minute
talk, closing with an eloquent appeal
for Honest Jake" Senator Clague
closed the meeting by speaking on
the wisdom Of having the executive
and the legislative branch working
in harmony, and on woman suffrage.
The meeting was harmonious and
enthusiastic and indicated that ia
cobson would run even with the ma
tional ticket in Redwood Falls. The
officers of the club expect to have at
least one large rally during the cam
paign and are in communication with
several speakers of state reputation,
one of which will be secured for a
public address during the month.

A CROWD OUT
AT THE RALLY
Large Attendance and Strong
Interest in Taft-Jacob- &
son Club.
Representative Bendixen Says
He Will Be Guided By
Wabasso Platform

That the people of Redwood Falls
are more interested in the present
campaign than for several years is
manifested in the attendance at the
meeting to organize a Republican
club last Thursday night. For sew
eral years even with speakers of
state reputation present, the meet
ings have been poorly attended and
the lack of interest has been appar-
ent.
Last Thursday, with no special eff
fort to get a crowd out and with
only county speakers present, the
court house was filled and genuine
enthusiasm for the state and nation
al ticket was very manifest. In spite
of the fact that there was something
of an understanding that the meet
ing was simply to organize a club
for men only. yet a goodIy number
of ladies were invited and were pres
ent and followed the proceedings
with evident appreciation.
The meeting was called to order
by 0. L. Dornberg, chairman of the
Republican county central commit
tee, who briefly stated the object
of the meeting and introduced S. A.
Hall, one of the old fighting Repub-
licans who carried a musket in the
eos. Mr.. Hall devoted most of his
time to review of the character of
Judge Taft and of his party. Mr..
Hall is fair and logical talker.
County Attorney Owens followed,
his main theme being the thought
that the Sd term was not usual or

CLUBS APPEAR
TO Be TRUMPS
The Get-Together Habit Has
Good Start with Red
wood Men.
Two Clubs Have Fitted Up
Comfortable Quarters
Recently.

Redwood is getting to be quite
metropolitan in the matter of clubs
for our younger men. The old reli-
able Stays have rival in the palatial
room over The Gazette office.
In the former music and art reigns
and in the latter a flow of reason
and feast of souls FREEDOM mates.
Both are rafting good organizations
and help to pass the hours away
nicely for lot of young fellows who
want lounglng place in the long
winter evenings coming on. The
editorial poll is getting so fagrantly
bald that he cannot even deceive
himself that he is any longer either
young or charming, yet he is not so
ancient that he is not mighty glad
to have the young fellows enjoy
themselves on these lines.
In fact, it is one Of the things he
hopes for some time when there will
be social club room for the older
business men, either by taking in
the kids with their music and fun
or going it alone on more sober lines.
A good many of the towns around
keep up a business mems club or
something of the sort where the bus
mess man may spend a short time
in the evening sure of seeing other
old pals riding their hobby horses
about the rooms, playing whist or
chess and getting at least a part Of
the enjoyment out of winter life that
we do from our summer habits. Red
wood is getting to be a great out
doors town and we are learning each
other better for it.
When winter time comes we are
apt to hibernate except for what
lodge or church visiting we do. It's
hard to keep up meetings solely, as
we have tried to do, to boom the
town. Sometimes the contrary old
thing wont boom in spite of all our
nursing. At such times the meet
ings fall rather flat as men will not
attend when there is nothing doing.
And we miss the sociability in the
winter time.
| If we could have not too expen-
sive club where we could get togeth-
er for short time a few times q
week and where. if we had friend
whom we wanted to introduce to
the other good fellows, we would be
sure of meeting just the right sort
it would help us in a great many
ways. Every little while some fellow
has friend who is a good entertain
er but who is missed by the greater
number of just the ones you want
him to meet because there is nc
meeting place for the old roosters o.
the town. In some places the saloon

U. S. c. JUNIORS AND
SOPHS PLAY TIE GAME
Series Of Class Contests Ended
Coach Cromwell Gets Good Line
on Abilities Of Candidates
for Varsity

The last of the U. s. c.. class games
was played on Bovard field yesterday
afternoon when the sophs and the
Juniors battled to tie. neither scor-
ing.
After their defeat of the freshman
team the other day the sophomores
were confident they could clean up
anything in school, and therefore yes
terday's exhibition surprised them
greatly.
The game was good, clean exposi-
tion of football as 1t is played by the
American college. AS the teams have
not had time to practice extensively
there was not much OF the fancy brand
In it, and was mostly hard, straight
football. The juniors several times
had the ball near the sophomore goal
but were thrown back pluclily. Wir-
sching showed up well in his RUNNING
back of punts and proved himself a
good. consistent ground gamer for the
juniors. Hegler, the all-Southern Cali
fornia tackle, was at right half for
the sophomore team and was especially
strong on the defense. Wallace at end
also put up a strong game.
The purpose of the class games has
been accomplished. and Coach Crom-
well has a good idea of the football
material for this season. The quarter
position, which was giving him consid-
cradle worry, will doubtless be filled
by Berriman of the high school, who
has enrolled as freshman. Berriman
played ON the crack 1907 high school
team and was said to be the best quar-
ter in the south. Hegler will be back
at his old position, right tackle; Brown
will be at guard, while Booker, last
years center, will not be able to play
because of the non-prep. rule. There
are many candidates for the ends. fore
most among which are Wallace and
Geller. The other line positions are
open for any who makes good.
Captain Goodenow of the freshman
team telephoned to Occidental to try
to arrange game with their freshmen.
The Occidental team, however, refused
to DIay.
