President Puts Forth What Has
Been Done BY Him
BACKS UP the PROMISES
Formal Notification That He
Was Made Nominee OF
His Party.
From Saturdays Daily.
ROBERT j. BENDER.

Long Branch, N j., September 2.
President Wilson spoke for his re-
election today. Before an immense
crowd massed over the beautiful
grounds of Shadow Lawn, the presi-
dent accepted his denomination at
the hands of the democratic party,
outlined the achievements OF his ad-
ministration and scored the repub-
licans as "a party of mastery IN
ACTIVITY, standing pat to resist
change" The democratic party the
president said holds to very definite
ideals I'VE believe the energy and
initiative of our people should be
set free as we have set them free and
not concentrated in the hands OF a
few powerful guardians, as our OPP
ponents have again and again sought
to concentrate them"
The day of little Americanism,
with its narrow horizon, when
methods of protection and induStri-
al nursing were the chief studies OF
our provincial statesmen" are past
and done, he said. The people, he
said, would not reject those who
have actually served them" for
those who are making doubtful and
conjectural promises of service"
Bouquets For Party.
Outlining the legislative record OF
his party, the president said the
democrats have virtually created
commercial credit for the farmer,
had given a veritable emancipation
to the working man, had released
the children of the country from
hurtful labor" and in addition to
many other things had put through
national defense legislation greater
than any ever seriously proposed
upon the responsibility of an entire
political party" And" he concluded
in this discussion, 1--WE have come
very near to clearing up the plat
form of the progressive party as
well as our own, for we also are
progressiveS."
The president said his policy was
built on two fundamental principles,
that property rights can be vindicat-
ed for claims for damages, but the
loss of life is irreparable.
81 neither seek the favor nor fear
the displeasure of that small alien
element, amongst us, which puts
loyalty to any foreign power before
loyalty to the United States" he
said.
The president advanced his MeXi-
can policy as an issue upon which
he would stand in the face of any
criticism. While admitting the pos
sibility of mistakes "in this perplex
ing business" he fiayed those who
would have recognized "the un-
speakable HuertaP

ERROR PUT INNOCENT
MAN IN POLICE COURT
Mistake In First Name Did An Un-
intentional Injustice to Worthy
Citizen of Lake Crystal.
from SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
By an unfortunate error in the
story that appeared in last nights
Free Press with reference to the
liquor trouble at Garden City, an
unintentional injustice was done to
Ed Mutt, very worthy Lake Crys-
tai citizen, who conducts hotel
there.
The man who was arrested on the
charge of being drunk, by the name
of Mutt, was Frank Mutt, not Ed
Mutt. Ed Mutt has always borne an
excellent reputation. The Free Press
takes this first opportunity to make
the correction.
Frank Mutt of Lake Crystal and
III. Rev of Garden City, are the two
who will be tried in the Mankato
municipal court on September IL on
the charge Of having been drunk.

Pipestone Star: There was very
pretty wedding in this city Wednesday
evening at the residence of Mrs. E. J.
Evans, 504 South Main street, when
her daughter, Gertrude, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Walter A. Sanborn
of Mankato, MINI.
Preceding the service Lloyd Evans,
cousin of the bride, pleasingly sang
AT the Dawning." Just at eight o.
clock to the strains of the Lohengrin
Bridal Chorus, played by Miss Mere
dith Evans, also a cousin, the bride
and groom appeared. They were at
tended by Miss Grace hartman of
Sioux City, as bridesmaid, and Mr..
P. G. w. Coon of Mankato, as best
man. Little Miss Ruth Walker, a
niece of the bride, was ring bearer,
carrying the treasure in the heart of
a pink rose.
Rev. E. N. Prentice of the Presby-
terrain church, read the impressive
ring service, in the presence of a
party of relatives.
The BRIDES gown was of white crepe
de chine with trimmings of lace and
messahne, and she wore veil OF
tulle. Her bouquet was of brides
roses. The bridesmaid was attired
in pink lowered crepe de chine, and
carried pink roses. The little ring
bearer wore a pretty white dress en-
broidered in pink to match the rose
she carried.
After the receiving of congratula-
lions the party repaired to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur G. Walker,
217 east French street, Mrs. Walker
being q sister of the bride, where at
nine o'clock delightful wedding sup
per was spread. The repast was
served in three courses, the BRIDES
sisters, the Misses Harriet and Alma
Evans and Miss Bessie Jones assist
ing. The tables were attractive in
their pretty decorations for the oc-
casion.. The place cards were hand
painted and in the shape of bridal slip
pers filled with pink roses. The nut
cases were in basket shape ornament
ed with roses, and the two little
handles each formed heart.
During the speaking of the vows the
bridal party stood before a screen
of asparagus which had been prettily
arranged with pink and white asters,
and also at either side was a pedestal
bearing large bouquet of the same
flowers. At the Walker home the
colors were also pink and white,
bouquets of asters being used.
The bride and groom during the
evening cleverly eluded the party
1t was thought that they would leave
the city on the midnight train, and
several of the relatives and friends
went to the Great Northern station
to bid them farewell. Finding they
did not depart then, some went to the
Omaha train Thursday morning think
ing that the couple would leave at
that time, but it soon developed that

"Ramona" Is a Delight.

porations is now being shown at Man.
kato theatre, and is a very pretentious
production of Helen Hunt Jackson s
Ramona. Tonight will be the last
night on which it will be shown here,
concluding an engagement. of four
days, matinee and evening. The big
symphony orchestra travelling with the
production and the choir add greatly
to the, artistic effect of the play, which
is beautifully staged, and acted with
a realism that transports the audience
to those far off early days among the
mission Indians in California. The
story of Ramona, and the happy TO-
nance of her youth with its tragic
ending, holds the undivided interest
until the end of the play. The pic
tured play is high class in every re-
spect, and one of the best that has
ever been produced in this city.
