NORTHFIELD, Minn. ? Sen. Bill Bradley will speak at a "get-out-the-vote" rally at St. Olaf College on Saturday, Nov. 4.

The rally, free and open to the public, will be on the outdoor plaza of Buntrock Commons starting at 7 p.m. The event is sponsored by the College Democrats of Minnesota.

Bradley will be joined at the rally by a number of Minnesota Democrats, including U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles-Belton and Minnesota First District representative candidate Mary Rieder.

Kristin Gore, daughter of presidential candidate Al Gore, will attend, as will Buck Humphrey, chair of the Minnesota Gore campaign.

"We?re expecting every statewide Democratic candidate," said Matt Pelikan, a St. Olaf sophomore from Northfield, Minn., who is coordinating the rally.

Bradley will speak for 10-15 minutes, and other officials will address the audience briefly, according to Pelikan. After the rally students will be invited to attend a "Rock the Vote" concert.
