Fifth Convention of the Northern
Minnesota Development
Association
THEY W AN I JUSTICE
Demand ReappOrtiOnment for Nor
tkern Counties But Are Silent
on Extra Session
Editorial Correspondent

In company with DR.. }. A. Du
Bois. G. NJ. Sprague, j. +. Cooper and
r. f. Minette, | journeyed to st.
Cloud last week as an official delegate
from the city of Sank Centre to the
fifth convention of the Northern Min
nesota Development Association.
We struck lively bunch at the
capital city Of Stearns county. There
were several hundred regularly APP
pointed delegates, lot OF self-ap-
pointed delegates. and job lot of pol
iticians, the first two classes boosting
long and hard for northern Minnesota,
tie last class boosting hard to hold
their jobs.
Before the convention there was
any amount Of talk about politics in
the convention. Pm happy to state
that while there were politicians OF
all sorts and conditions on the job,
yet the convention sawed wood and
passed up the political hot air artists.
The peripatetic chief executive OF
Minnesota wasn't there, but Ralph
Wheelock. the Beau Brummel of the
marble statehouse was, and it was
worth travelling some miles to look on
him. if one liked that kind of look.
Ralph came to see that his boss got a
square deal and wasn't put in a
hole" He found that the conven-
tion was going to attend 70 business
regardless of Ralph. SO he escaped on
one Of the first trains. Oar Reese,
suave.~smooth, smiling, was on deck.
Oar had the assurance to say to me:
"I'm here to boost for northern Min
nesota where I've got lot Of land.
There isn't any politics in my pres
ence here" That sounded like joke
coming from the festive Darius, but
l didn't tell him So. Then there was
the erudite (?)Jim Larson, who didn't
used to be able to be elected pound
master when he lived down in Walnut
Grove, Redwood county, but who has
held down the deputy secretary of
state job for several years. John G.
Lennon of Minneapolis was also there.
Plain statement of that fact is sutfici-
ent. There was galaxy of lesser
lights. satellites of the state admins
tration, plugging persistently son the
side for their bread and butter.
Sam Gordon was represented by j.
S. Arneson of Chisholm. Arneson
was happy and gave the glad hand to
everybody. Accompanying him was
Irving A. Caswell, clerk of the su-
preme court, who is good friend OF
Gordon's. There were others with a
political mission, and all contributed
more or less to the eclat of the occa-
sion as well as to the gayety of ma
tionS
Harold Knutson vas also there;
Harold the rustling president of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial Asso-
citation, who held ''open house" in
Room Al, Grand Central Hotel, where
the country scribes, some two score
and half, congregated and snapped
yarns and partook of Harold's good
cheer. Mary McFadden was there
Mary whom the editorial fellows all
admire Any kind of a confab of the
nature of that in st. Cloud would be
a failure without Mary the petite.
The convention was a gathering of
practical, successful business men
who were there for purpose and

that purpose to boom northern Min
nesota. The convention didn't waste
any time: it transacted business from
the word 90. The addresses were
practical and right to the point.
Louis Hill of the Great Northern
Railroad gave fine talk on good
roads. T. V. Powderly, of the immi-
grafton bureau at Washington, was
the feature of the convention. His
address was thoughtful, practical and
listened to with the closest attention.
He made a deep impression on the
convention. and the remark was heard
frequently that if all labor leaders
were like Powderly there would be no
Los Angeles affair.

with his address on ''Justice for Nor

an ovation when he appeared the APP
plause lasting over minute. He hit
straight from the shoulder, putting
in several strong blows for square
deal. In closing his address, while
dealing with the subject of reappor-
tiOnment. he said:
Failure to reapportion in 1901 was
mistake; failure to reapportion in
1905 was an outrage: failure to reap
portion in 1909 was crime.' And
the rafters rang with applause.
The convention steered clear of the

tion men didn't want it, neither did

The town was profusely decorated
with flags, bunting and banners, on
the latter of which were words of
welcome for ..Northern Minnesota
Boosters" One fellow profanely sug
gested that the last word should be
spelled with an "R" instead of a ''B. !"
He was thrown out.
Friday evening the visitors were
royalty entertained by the CONNER
cial Club. The Elks hall above the
Commercial Club rooms was requisi-
toned during the early part of the
evening, when musical program OF
an hour and a half was given. A
male quartet entertained with solos,
trios and quartets and the music was
good enough for any one. Encores
were numerous. President w. A.
Shoemaker of the Normal School was
the efficient master of ceremonies.
Following this program, buffet
luncheon was served in the rooms be-

GIVES SHORT LEASE
Rents the House to Moving PiCt-
ure Man, Who Will Operate
There for a Month

Alderman Geo. OGafa has pur-
chased the Grand Opera House.
He has leased it for a month for a
moving picture show. When the
lease expires, if not renewed, Mr..
O'Gara will conduct the house him.
self.
Mr.. O'Gara has not fully decided
what changes he will make i'm the
house, farther than in general way.
Repairs to the roof are necessary and
these he will make as soon as the
weather permits. The interior also
needs repairing and remodeiing.
The house was built originally for
roller skating rink. Two or three
years later, the exact date being Feb.
Is, 1895, B. r. Palmer Post, g., A. r.,
bought the house. That organization
has owned and managed it ever since
and sold it to Alderman O'Gara. Up
on buying the structure the G. A. r.
people put a sheet steel covering on
the exterior and fixed up the interior
for an opera house by putting in q
stage, sloping flooriand opera chairs
The post also used front room to
the right of the entrance for post
hall, this apartment being also used
by the Women's Relief Corps. With
the sale of the building the post and
corps give up their headquarters.
They have not yet secured other
rooms, but Alderman VIM. Pangburn,
one of the prominent members of the
post, told The Herald on Wednesday
that quarters would be secured soon.
There are several halls, says Mr..
Pangburn, that can be had. Mr..
Pangburn says the post has desirecss
for some time, to sell the opera house,
as its management had become bur-
den to the veterans. He said they
had received from the sale of the
property sum sufficient to put the
post on "Easy Street" as long as it
would want place for gatherings.
Alderman O'Gara at first thought
he would take out the sloping floor
and use the house for a roller skating
rink again. On second thought, how
ever, he decided not to take that
course. 1t is possible, however, that
some scheme may be devised for ar
ranging the sloping floor in removable
sections SO that they can be set aside
temporarily to make level floor for So
cial events and possibly for skating
rink at times, and thus not interfere
with the use of the hall as place for
housing theatrical entertainments,
concerts, lectures and other public
functions. If this can be done, Mr..
O'Gara says he will be glad to make
the necessary changes. The stage
needs fixing up and charging, and
one of the plans to which Mr.. O'Gara
is giving serious consideration is that
of extending the stage eight Or ten
feet further to the front. There is
now space of some twenty feet be-
tween the front of the stage and the
first row of opera chairs, which ma
terially interferes with the convent
ence and the acoustic properties of
the house. By extending the stage
out ten feet or so, this defect would
be overcome and an additional amount
of stage room easily secured
The walls need cleaning and redec-
Grating and other changes are neces-
sary before the house is really in the

were OF the nneSt brand.
The ST. Cloud daily papers, the
Times and Journal Press, deserve
high praise for the manner in which
they covered" the convention. The
large city papers couldn't have done
better. A feature of the reports of
both papers was sketches of delegates
and visiting newspaper men, all writ
ten in the best style. St. Cloud jour-
nalism is certainly "Johnny-on-the-
Spot" Alvah and Mac were both
delegates to the convention, mingled
with the visitors, extended the glad
hand and kept open house for all
corners, in their respective newspaper
offices. If any Minnesota city the
size of ST. Cloud can better handle a
convention the size of last week IS
gathering, The Herald would like to
s'shown."
