ROUSING RALLY
Judge Parker of New Orleans
and P. Y. Collins Speak

Wednesday evening the Davidson
theatre at St. Cloud was filled with
an attentive and appreciative aud
fence to listen to Judge John M.
Parker of New Orleans and P. V.
Collins of Minneapolis discuss Pro-
gressive tenets. Judge Parker was a
delegate to the national Progressive
convention in Chicago and was prom
inently mentioned for the vice presi-
Dental nomination. Judge Parker
told his audience why he, Democrat
by tradition, espoused the Bull Moose
cause and eulogized Colonel Roosevelt
as the greatest man of modern times
and magnificent leader. P. V. Col
Inns, Progressive nominee for COVER
nor of Minnesota, enthused his audi
ence. Mr.. Collins has improved
greatly in his platform work since his
visit to Sank Centre, and delivered a
masterful address. He was given an
ovation. The double male quartet of
the St. Cloud Bull Moose Club render
ed three selections and brought down
the house each time. The club num-
bers over 200 enthusiastic members
and is doing fine work. Leading ST.
Cloud Democrats admit that the Bull
Moosers, under the enthusiastic and
efficient leadership of Willard S. Free
man, have 'got the Jump on us.
Judge Parker has campaigned all
over the country ever since the Chi
cago convention and told The Herald
representative he believes there's
going to be a landslide to Roosevelt
and Johnson. He bases his belief on
his own personal observation and adj
vices from men in different states
who know whereof they speak. Mr..
Collins was enthusiastic over the out
look.
