G. Caldérwood, na- ional party nominee for the Unlited States Senate and endorsed by the Nonpartisan league, was guest of honor. Mr. Calderwood stamped Senator Nelson as having opposed the presi- dent in all his war measures. He also charged him with having shown undue concern for the welfare of the railroads. In the course of his denunciation of Minnesota's senior senator Mr. Calderwood took occasion to call Mr. Roosevelt to task for his apparent concurrence in the Nelson views.
