City Hall filled to capacity for candidate speaker

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, Oct. 26, 1922.

The Glenwood City Hall was filled to capacity on Friday evening when Magnus Johnson, the Farmer-Labor candidate for governor, spoke to a large audience of farmers and city people. There were many in the audience who had never seen Johnson before and they were all highly pleased with the ability and the high character of the man. They all felt that they would have a real governor at St. Paul with Magnus Johnson as the chief executive. The meeting was the best and cleanest political meeting held in Glenwood this fall.
