SPECIALSTATE HOUSE
TRAINWASBERE
Gov. Eberhart, Elmquistand Man
ahan Make Vigorous Talks
at Willmar
The special train bearing Republican
state officials was at Willmar yesterday
arriving a little after two o'clock. In
spite of the cold gale which blew fierce
ly there was quite a large crowd of
voters gathered. It was a representa
tive crowd, also, there being voters
from many country districts present.
The Willmar Military Band enlivened
the occasion with music. The speakers
appeared on a baggage truck placed at
the east end of the depot out of the
wind. County Chairman Charles John
son presideu. Gov. Eberhart spoke first
and made a talk well calculated to ap
peal to the sympathy of the voters.
Whatever you may say of Gov. Eber
hart, you must admit that he is a good
campaigner. He said he knew he had
opposition, but intimated that it came
because he had stood for some principle.
Which it was he did not say. He claim
ed he had done something for temper
ance because he had appointed a num
ber of temperance men to various posi
tions of trust. He did not wish to car
ry any blame for the raising of rail
road rates, as that was a matter for
the courts to decide. He claimed that
he had enforced the laws well and clos
ed with a plea for endorsement at the
hands of the voters. The next speaker
was Chas. E. Elmquist, railroad com
missioner, who made an impassioned
plea in behalf of his record. He also
put the blame for higher railroad rates
on ae tardy work of the courts and said
no state official could reasonably be
blamed for the delay. He predicted a
favorable decision in the Sanoorn cases.
The next and last speaker was James
Manallan, the old-time populist and
democrat, who made an eloquent plea
for direct legislation.
Hon. Lyndon A. Smith was next in
troduced but the expiration of the time
limit cut short his remarks. There
were a number of state officials who dii
not appear. If Senator Nelson was on
the train he did not show himself.
With Manahan's ringing plea in the ears
one might have gone away under a
spell of progressive thought, but as the
train pulled out showers of Taft but
tons and pictures were thrown into the
crowd, and immediately dispelled any
mental illusion created by the clever
stump speakers.

XBVXNO INDEX.
"II7ILSON is a real and sincere Progressive. He
W has proved it by his cotirse and conduct as a
public officer and as a candidate. He is running on
a sane progressive platform. Nothing of benefit to
progressive principles, or honest politics, can be gain
ed by voting for either Taft or Roosevelt The best
service Progressive Republicans can render, to their
party, and to their country, under these unfortunate
circumstances, is to vote for Wilson. It will help to
teach dishonest manipulators of politics a wholesome
lesson."—Sen. John D. Works, progressive Republi

The high school foot ball team jour

met the first defeat of the season. Dur
ing the first half Willmar played hard
and consistent ball, but the last half
they seemed to be stuck to the ground
and afraid to tackle the man with the
ball.
Larsen for Willmar placed a drop
kick between the goals for three points.
Litchfield scored next on a forward
pass. Then Larsen. for Willmar got a
forward pass and made a long run for
a touchdown. The first half ended 10
to 7 in Willmar's favor, and the last
half 20 to 10 in Litchfield's favor.
Willmar was again given the usual
bad deals by Dr. Archie Robertson of
Litchfield who refereed the game. Mr.
Croyle would call a foul against Litch
field, show Robertson the rule and pen

alize Litchfield for he knew that he had
the crowd behind him. It was the most
willful disregard of rules and decis

against. It is safe to say that Dr. Rob

and I will give thee a crown of life,"
Revel. 2:10. An anthem was sung by
the choir and a Norwegian address es
pecially to the parents followed on the
words of the gospel lesson for the
day, "And himself believed and his
whole house," (John 4:55.) An offering
amounting to $94 was taken, and the
services were closed in the usual man
