Considered of much significance was the visit 20
Fairview to-day Of Frank B. Lynch. Of St Paul,
Democratic National Committeeman from Mime
sofa and manager OF Governor Johnson's campaign
for the Presidential nomination at the Denver con-
vention. Mr.. Lynch arrived about noon. in com
pany with B. F Nelson. of Minneapolis. president
of the state fair association. Mr. Lynch's pres
at Fairview was at the special request of Mr.
Bryan. He lost time in conveying to the Demo
cratic nominee Governor Johnsons assurance of
loyal support Of the Democratic ticket and Of his
into faka he ct1r in Mr. behalf
There is no animosity toward Bryan in Mime
sota,' said Mr.. Lynch while do not predict
that the Democrats will carry Minnesota this year.
/ think they have a good chance" Mr.. Lynch de-
clared that nothing rankled in Governor Johnsons
heart because he was defeated for the nomination.
He feels all right about IT, said Mr. Lynch,
land all Minnesota Democrats are for Bryan
The business which brought Mr.. Nelson TO Fair
view was to invite Mr.. Bryan to attend the state
fair IN St Paul and deliver an address The in
vitation accepted. the date being fixed for Au-
gust 81 but with the understanding that there
should be no charge for admission 10 the grounds
that day.
1t was announced that the ST Paul speech would
be the only one that Mr.. Bryan would make in
Minnesota during the campaign, The subject to be
discussed will probably be the tariff.
Mr. Bryan outlined to-day the subjects which he
will discuss in his speech of acceptance. The
speech will be confined practically the questions
Shall the People Rule?" and The Measure Of
Rewards" The other issues of the campaign will
be treated In the several speeches he will make in
the next thirty days.
The notification speech, said Mr. Bryan. will
deal with but few questions Having letter of
acceptance write later and several speeches to
make important topics, such as the tariff and
the trusts. the banking question. the labor ques
tion. imperialism. etc. It was not necessary to
include them IN this speech. and I could not have
done justice to any question If treated of
number. Our platform declared the overshadowing
question to be Shall the people ruler and in this
speech take the conditions and endeavor TO
show what has produced these conditions and how
they be remedied. and how the people be
put into control OF their government.
The only other question discussed is The Meas
of Rewards the aim of all just government
being TO each individual the reward to
which his work entities him.
Il shall within the present month discuss the
tariff question. the trust question and the guar
antee of bank deposits The speech on trusts will
he delivered at Indianapolis at the time OF Mr.
Kern's notification, August 25. The the
guarantee OF bank deposits viii be delivered at
Topeka few days afterward- The day and place

fixed. At Chicago, Labor Day, 1 shall discuss
the labor question, and at Peoria. on September g.
