As a genial and versatile gentleman he is always accorded a warm welcome o this | # city, however, and as one of the most interesting talkers in the state he will io doubt have a good audieuce tomorrwnight, - Mr. Eddy is famous through- out the -state for his peculiar methods of campaigning, but his i reer demonstrated that his campaigns were popular with the people and in the old Seventh congressional district made him famous as a vote getter. Mr. Eddy arrived unheralded, as usual, over the M. & I. last night. He attended the Dunn meeting in the evening and met a number of his friends about the city. Today heis extecding the glad hand at.Bagley and to- morrow he returns to Bemidji. ‘Mr. Eddy is making no claims fovshis candidacy,has good words to say for both his opponents but does not admit that either has a cinch on the nomination as” mat- ters stand at present, It is his opinion that the delégations to the state convention will go'to St. Paul for the »mosf part” unin- structed. Of the eighty or more counties in the state he believes that about twenty will go to the convention instructed for Dunn, Qollins and . himself.

The precedent ‘of a’campaign such as that some of the candidates are conducting is a bad thing for the party and it should learn the lesson: before it is tolate. I cannot afiord an ex- pensive campaign myself. Thave no barrels to open or anything of the sort and in my candidacy I am depending on my friends.” Mr. Eddy will returnto Be- county.
