this is not the only country where
they have great varieties"
1t was obvious to even the most
casual observer that the hit had gone
home. OF the $50 luncheon guests,
149 gave evidence Of their amusement,
most of them swinging around in their
chair in the direction of Senator
Clapp.
Welcomed by Gov. Eberhart.
Gov. A. O. Eberhart extended a cor
dial welcome to the President at Sha-
kopee. Representatives Davis, Nye
and Miller also came aboard. The
Mankata senator Knute Nelson, and
former Representative Tawney joined
the party. Other State officials and
Republicans of note were in evidence
throughout the day.
The reports regarding the political
situation in Minnesota were of uniform
character As it stands today the in
surgents have the better of it in two
districts, now represented in the house
of congress by HalvOr STEVENSON and |
Charles A. Lindbergh. There is op-
position also in Charles r. Davis Sid
ney Anderson's, and Andrew l. Vol
stead's districts, but the Taft sup
porters are in majority and constant
ly gaining recruits. The sentiment
throughout the State, generally speak
ing, is strong for President Taft and
assures the election of four Taft dele
gates at large.
National Committeeman Kellogg is
with the President; so is Gov. Eber
bait and State Chairman Smith. Sen
ator Knute Nelson, the strongest man
in the party, is standing by him. The
opposition leaders are Senator CIapp
and three or four of the Minnesota
house members who went insurgent"
Among them was Representative
Davis, who today introduced President
TAFT to several of his audiences, TAX
ing constant occasion to assure him
that these people, Mr.. President, are
loyal to the government and the ad-
ministration." If the in reduction
meant anything, 1t meant good deal,
and many of the Minnesota contingent
aboard the train took mental note of
it.
The outpouring of Minnesota people
today was a high tribute to the Presi-
dents popularity in the State. A
steady downpour of rain i'll no manner
dampened their enthusiasm. Fifteen
hundred people heard him at Glencoe
at least 5000 at st. Peter; in ManlIato
the streets we're lined, crowd of 5000
heard him a the courthouse and loo
more in the opera house; Madison
Lake turned out 1900 at the station,
Waterville $500, Fairbault 5000 in i
steady driZZie, and Mortified some
1000 The reception tonight at Mime
apolis, where the Presiden. discussed
the relations of the government to the
business of the country, was equally
conspicuous in the matter Of numbers
and enthusiasm,
Farm Talks Make Hit.
Most of the day the President talked
about farming. At Madison Lake he
referred to the work being done by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to
educate the farmer "a = way that made
a hit with his audience. IF you study
all the things that Uncle Jimmie Vii
son in the Agricultural Department
says you ought to study" he said,
you will injure your eyes and look
like a college professor, and yet those
things are things that are essential
to be known in order that the product
per acre of the farms shall be in
creased and that the mouths of the
people of the United States shall be
fed 80 years hence
At Randolph one of the most anus
ing incidents of the day happened,
The President chatted informally with
the crowd about his car, He referred
to the fact that he was in a farming
community, and suggested that the
rain would be good for fall pastures.
The crowd voiced assent, and further
said that the crops had been fine.
"You see," the President said, in
explanation of the various questions
he had asked, Il am something of
farmer myself"
Are the potatoes all in?" a voice
asked amid laughter.
"I am gatharinp than slowly" the
