| Democratic, State Headquarters Blu

Mrs; Anna: D. olesen, democratic
candidate for United States< Senate
and Edward Indrehus, democratic can.
didate for governor, in their intensive
campaign, have turned the glaring
searchlights on the pubic-office records
|of Senator Kellogg and Governor
Preus. And Minnesota voters are
dazed by the flood of light.
|, Up and down the state Mrs. Olesen
and Mr.. Indrehus have carried their
messages of truth directly to the rank
and file with the result that they are
~basking in. favorable limelight. Over
flow meetings everywhere have attested
to this. "Give us the positive unjug-
gled facts' is the demand issued by
the voters long since disguised with re-
publican administrations. The demo.
cratic candidates have met these de-
mands with full and accurate explain
atoms of all the issues that make up
the national and state campaign.
f On the votes cast BY Senator Kellogg
for Newberry, The Cummins-Esch bill,
the tariff, etc. Mrs. Olesen has ex-
pressed her strongest condemnation.
The proposed state constabulary and
the creation of needless bureaus,
boards and commissions, pet boobies Of
Governor Preus, have stirred the ire of
Mr.. Indrehus and he makes it known
to his audiences in forceful manner.
The democratic headliners establish
ed record last week that the republi-
cans never will be able to reach.
Spoke to audiences that taxed tho ca
pacity Of the largest halls in North
Central Minnesota-that's what Mrs.
O1esen and Mr.. Indrehus did while the
republicans waged their battle in the
same section of the state. 49,,
Little Falls, Brainerd and st. Cloud
received the democratic candidates
with open arms. In these cities night
meetings. were held. Day meetings
were held in dozens of smaller places
along the route. Senator Kellogg de-
livered his keynote speech Wednesday
night in the St. Cloud armory. While
the building was filed, due to the
presence of all Of the chief depart
mental heads Of the. state government
and their hundreds of state employees;
groups of federal appointees; "blocs' -
of G.. o. P. henchmen and scores of
members of the state legislature, past,
present and future, applause was posi-
lively lacking except that given by the
padded audience.
Mrs. Olesen and Mr.. Indrehus invad'
ed St. Cloud two nights afterwards
and "turned them away at the Sher-
man theatre, which is said to be one
Of the largest places Of gathering in
the state. The democratic audience was
composed of men employed at the local
railroad shops; farmers who had driven
in from points miles away; men and
women residents of the Granite : City
and teachers who were holding dis:
trict convention there. ~
The republicans had staged their
rally under suspicious circumstances.
The st. Cloud merchants had arranged,
incidentally a Fall Harvest :. Festival
celebration. This fact alone was re-
sponsible for tremendous throng in
the down town streets adjacent to the
Earmory. The weather also was ideal.
Someone had hired two bands and a
drum corps. Red fire was burned.
Dancing was staged on interesting
streets. Orchestras on trucks were
stationed at those points.
To counterfeit this grand setting the
Democrats had to rely on the work Of
the local committee to stir up the dre
