NELSON IS COMING
Minnesota'S Senior Senator to
Speak in Sank Centre
NOV. 5 IS The DATE
Afexandrian to Discuss Issues OF
the Campaign in a Big Rally
at Opera House


Hon. knute Nelson of Alexandria,
senior senator from Minnesota, will
speak in Sank Centre on Saturday
evening. Nov. 5, when he will discuss
the issues of the campaign from re-
publican standpoint. Senator Nelson
is we'll known all over the state as an
experienced stump speaker and man
who is worth going to hear. The
rally will be held at the Opera House.
G. M. Sprague, member of the repub-
lican county committee, has the ar
engagements in charge and is planning
to make the rallya rousing one. Will
liam Arndt, republican candidate for
the lower house in the Minnesota leg
islature, will be present and make a
speech. An effort will be made to
secure good music for the occasion.
At last Stearns county has a ,repub-
lican county committee. The chair
man of the republican county conyen-
ton. held in June, was authorized to
name committee. but let the matter
slide SO long without doing anything,
that about everybody thought there
wasn't going to be any committee.
AS an eleventh hour afterthought the
chairman exerted himself sufficiently,
last week, to name five gentlemen to
serve on committee. The person
mel is as follows:
VIM. Sartell, Sartell.
A. E. Fritz, ST. Cloud.
G. Nj. Sprague, Sank Centre.
J. J. Saltinger, Melrose.
William Schultz, Paynesville.
1t will be noted that the St. Cloud
Journal-Press, WIFI CHI for months
knocked Eberhart as hard as it
could, is represented on this COM
mittee by one of it's employees, Mr..
Fritz candy" is also on the repub-
lican state central committee, so that
gives the county seat paper an oppor-
tunity to eXude an idea or two oc-
casionally. With one of it's employees
on two committees, the J-P should
exhibit intense loyalty to the ticket.
Just to illustrate how dearly ''the
st. Cloud bunch" loves Sank Centre
and everything connected with it, it
may be remarked in passing that a
meeting of the county committee was
called for one evening, at s o'clock,
last week. This would involve the
spending of a night in St. Cloud for
three members of the committee,
namely Messrs. Sprague, Salfinger and
Schultz. Had the committee meet
ing been called during the day or even
at an earlier hour, this would not
have been necessary. This is off the
same piece as calling the meeting of
the county convention last June for
the afternoon, hus necessitating
spending an entire day in the county
seat. The democratic county conven-
tion was called for o'clock in the
morning and adjourned in time to let
every out-of-town delegate return
home on the noon trains. Not SO
the republican delegates. Sank Cen
IRE and MelroSe delegates were COM
PEELED to go on the early morning
trains, hang around ST. Cloud all day
and come home on the evening train.
But little thing like Inconvenience
ing out-of-town people doesn't trouble
"the st. Cloud bunch for minute
as long as their hotel keepers and
other tradesmen can hold them up for
a nice little sun.
The democratic bolt from GRAY to
Eberhart, in Stearns county, bids fair,
at this writing, to be smaller than
was at first anticipated, while the re-
publican bolt from Eberhart to Gray
seems to be on the increase. There
is ''St. Cloud bunch among the
democrats just as there is among the
republicans. The bunch tried to
force a general revolt from Gray on
account of that gentleman's county
option stand. The matter had gone
so far in fact that letters were to be
sent out to the leaders in the differ
ent voting precincts directing them
to line up for Eberhart. For some
reason or other this plan failed to
evolve itself satisfactorily. T h e
Times kicked over the traces and
other things transpired. Now the
democratic county committee is in
