The Evening Meeting
:. The capacity audience anticipated
for the evening meeting was not pres
ent due to the early evening showers
and threatening weather. Yet several
hundreds dared. the elements and mud.
dy roads to come out and hear a SER
les Of three excellent addresses which
did their hearts good. When the
meeting was half under way and our
probable next senator to the cham
1bers of Congress was in the midst Of
his intellectual analysis and criticism
of the Federal Reserve System, the
second shower of the day arrived The
combined patter of torrents on the
root and the rumblings of thunder did
not silence the voice OF the speaker
however The audience in the rear
came willingly to the front not to miss
a word and DR.. Shipstead spoke as
clearly and distinctly as he could.
County chairman c.. o. Bergquist
presided at the meeting. He called
upon Atty. Harold Baker of Renville,
progressive candidate for District
Judge Mr.. Baker gave pointed talk.
He briefly and clearly outlined the
growth Of the Non partisan League
and the various obstacles and trials
thru which it has passed. He displayed
a very keen understanding of the peo-
pies movement and made splendid
impression with his audience.
The chairman then called upon, Mr..
R. c. Sletten. candidate for state SEN
ator. from the 25th legislative district,
comprising Kandiyehi and Swift coun-
ties. Mr.. Sletten by clever and anus
ing illustrations and by a straight
from-the-shoulder talk described the
gambling in grains and other farm
produce. He declared as an intro
duction that empty stomachs will set
folks thinking on matters in which
they otherwise show no concern. Mr..
Sletten gave an excellent talk and in
Dictated to his audience that he was in
touch with he issuets of he day and
had sound views on the same. -
Following these two talks Chairman
Ole Landhaug of Douglas County,
chairman of the state committee, took
the floor, stated his views on the build
ing up of strong campaign and the
need OF funds to carry on such a cam
paign. He stated he looked for a heal
thy majority for the progressive can
didates in Kandiyohi County. -:
The collection taken in the evening
amounted to $36: The sum in the ev
ening can be accounted for as lower
than the afternoon due to the fact that
so many present at the first meeting
were also there in the evening. ]
Mr.. Bergquist then introduced DR..
Henrik Shipstead, progressive :candi.
date for the United States Senate
from the state of Minnesota E-~
DR.. 'Shipstead delivered a splendid
address. Taking as his four principal
issues-the injunction-Federal Re-
serve system-the Esch- Cummins Act
and the, grain gambling system now in
practice. Dr. Shipstead launched in
to logical and highly interesting dis
cussion of these questions He showed
thoro familiarity with the subjects
His address turnout was in the noture
| of a lecture on the topics above men
toned in which no personalities or
personal feeling was found. The in
Junction, the Doctor declared, was an
autocratic institution. BY it a judge
could WELD the power of a despot.
Such an institution used agains the
common people should be condemned
and removed from our judicial sys-
tenn. Referring to the Federal Bank
System the speaker clearly showed
that this great financial institution
was merely means to the great fin
anciers of the nation lay hold of
the money supply Of the nation to be
used by them in their international
gambling. -:~.-.... s..s..
