ToDEMoCRATIC VOTERS.

The only danger that the Democratic
ticket is to apprehend, in relation to next
Tuesdays election, is the apathetic feeling
which seems to prevail among the people of
the city. The fact that no particular offices
are involved in the election and that
there is no sign of any close contest is cal
culated to create q feeling of Indifference
among the voters. This should not be so,
and more especially with the Dem
ocratic voters of st. Paul. 1t is
not so much the matter of con-
trolling the few offices that are to be
filled that should arouse the Democrats of
this city and stimulate them to action as it
is to preserve the prestige of the party.
st. Paul is fairly and squarely a Demo-
cratic city and is recognized as such
throughout the country. This fact has
given the city special Importance in the
eyes of the national administration. Now
that the Democratic party has just accom-
plished such wonderful revolution in our
sister city up the river, it would be a
serious reflection upon st. Paul Dem
ocrats if through apathy they should permit
the approaching election to go by default and
the news OF Republican victory in the cap
ital city of Minnesota be heralded over the
country. If no higher consideration should
prompt the Democratic voters of the city to
activity, this alone ought to be sufficient.
But there are other motives which should
actuate them. The party has placed in
nomination an acceptable and respect
able ticket, composed of gentlemen
qualified for the positions for which
they have been named, from city
treasurer down to school inspector. The
nominees of the party both for city and
ward offices are gentlemen whom any
Democrat can support with perfect consist
ency. Such being the case it is not only
the duty of every Democratic voter in st.
Paul to turn out on the day of election to
give the straight ticket a cordial and enthu-
siastic support. but it is his duty to see that
all of his Democratic neighbors go and do
likewise.

UNDER FALSE COLoRs.

Notwithstanding that Maj. NEwsoN, the
Republican candidate for city treasurer, is
posing as the wOrkingman's candidate, the
organized labor unions of this city enter
their protest against this fraudulent claim.
AS will be seen by a resolution adopted by
the Knights of Labor of this city, which is
published in another column of to-day;s
GLOBE, that body acquits itself of the
scheme to impose candidate upon the pub
lie sailing under the fraudulent color of the
laborer's candidate. The organization
known as the Knights of Labor is not a po-
litical body and has no disposition to nomi-
nate candidate for Office at this time.
Even if it had it would not seek to ally it
self with the Republican party, which is the
natural enemy Of labor. The Knights of
Labor union was organized to protect its
members from the expressions of the JAY
GoULDs. and other creatures of the
Republican party, and not to sup
port the candidates of a party
which is responsible for their oppressed
condition. In face of the fact that not a
single union of organized labor has asked
Maj. NEwsoN to become a candidate or has
in the slightest manner indicated purpose
to indorse his candidacy, it seems to be a
little ''cheeky" in that estimable gentle
man to attempt to pose as the workingman's
candidate.

she could not do so. but now that he was

Sixty years ago, in 1926, the subject of

His first work on his own account was as
foreman of construction party on the Rut-

completion Of that contract he was engaged
on the construction of the original road
beds for several of the early and leading
trunk lines in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ten

IN 1858
he came to the northwest, taking contract
for section of the first railroad in Mime

broke the first ground on that railroad, and
from that day to the present time has been

at Minneapolis and became associated with
