SHPSTEAD AND
KVALE MAKE VOTES
Candidates For Governor and Con
gresham Address Two I'M
men.e Audiences

II anyone doubts in which way the
political wind is blowing in these
parts the two immense gatherings at
the Park Auditorium last Saturday
afternoon and evening should dispel
such doubts. DR. Henrik Shipstead,
candidate for governor and Rev. O. +
kvale, candidate for congressman
spoke both afternoon and evening to
audiences which filled the large park
auditorium. At the evening meeting
several hundred people were obliged
TO stand, which thy cheerfully did
during the time the stirring address,
es were made. Owing to the severe
storm In the southern part of the
state, A. c. Townley was unable to
arrive in his aeroplane, but this dis
appointment did not dampen the en-
thusiasm of the multitude.
At seven o'clock a parade was form
ed at the court house square to march
out to the fair grounds. The parade
was headed by two men carrying flags
-C. A. Berg for the organized farm
ers and D. F. Dugan for the Work
lngmen,s Nonpartisan League. Then
came the Willmar Band, with thirty
pieces. the candidates and committee
in autos, several hundred men in line
with flags and banners. The Burbank
Shipstead Club had quite few in
line with their banner. A long line
of autos, many of them with "Ship-
stead for Governor" banners stretch
ed out for a mile or more to the rear
When the fairgrounds was reached the
woods were already we'll filled with
autos.
Hon. John Wicklund presided at
the afternoon session. The speakers
who were called on were P. l. D. Ost-
by, candidate for Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner; Hemming S.

the closest attention and were fire.

County Chairman G. o. Bergquist pre-
sided at the evening session.
The ucasses ssess the crowds heard Kvale
and Shipstead, the more they wanted

girls passed the windows and had only
gone a few steps when the explosion
occurred and a rain of glass blew on
