pour of rain and consequent bad
condition Of roads last Thursday
evening a crowd that nearly
filed the theater building at

speak. Mr.. Schall is a candidate
for nomination on the Republi-
can ticket for the office Of United

ing his fifth term as congressman

years.
Owing TO being stuckin a mud
hole on the road somewhere be-
tween Anoka and Hinckley Mr..
Schall and his party did not ar
rive in Hinckley before $50. In
the meantime Il. B. Linsley Of
Willow River. who was chairman
of the meeting. called on several
preliminary speakers. among
them being Frank Hanson and
Mr.. Malcolm Of Rush City, the
latter real pioneer. Both gem
tlemen spoke in behalf Of the
candidacy Of their townsman
Curtis M. Johnson for governor
and Mr.. Malcolm also delivered
a glowing tribute to Mr.. Schall.
Others who entertained with a
few minutes talk were II. w.
Harte Of Brokpark and County
Supt. of Schools J. p. Miller.
The mayor Of Hinckley. was
called upon for a few remarks
but not being present her daugh-
ter Miss Dickie Newman, at the
urgent request Of the audience,
responded by going upon the
stage and stating she was sure
her mother was sorry TO be alb
sent inasmuch as she was wanted
as a preliminary speaker. but
that she had nothing further to
say. Chairman Linsley handled
the situation well by stating that
this young woman can at least
talk. She didn't do like the con-
gresswoman. who, when asked to
talk. cried"
The Hinckley Band under the
leadership Of r. N. Pearson was
also on hand and entertained ear
ly in the evening.
The crowd numbered people
from nearly all corners Of the
county.
When Mr.. Schall arrived Chair
nan Linsley announced that he
had prepared a typewriter in
PRODUCTION but owing to the late
ness of the hour would pass it
up and give the floor immediate
ly TO the speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Schall spoke for about two
hours, finishing shortly before
midnight. but held the close at
tention of the audience through
out.
One Of his first statements was
that in this race for u. S. Sena-
tor were Magnus. Ole. Oscar and
Tom.
The one whose record he seem
ed to be mostly after was Mag
nus, stating that as a member Of
the Minnesota Legislature Mag
nus Johnson voted against labor
bills % times and he voted
against reduction of interest
rates from 10 to 8 per cent. the
reduction being obtained by the
last legislative session after Mr..
Johnson had ceased being a mem
Der.
Mr.. Schall stated that while he
IS not a wealthy man yet he has
1000 to give to anybody who
ian prove that he ever voted
against the interests Of labor and
