There is a remarkable unanimity for DR..
Ames among all Democrats in this cam
paign. Heretofore in his mayoralty con-
tests many OF the old line Democrats, for
one reason or another. declined 10 give him
a hearty support Especially was this the
case last spring. as Mayor Pillsbury stood
high as citizen and man. But now
every Democrat in Minneapolis will be
found in the line voting for Dr.. AmeS
They have seen his ability as mayor. They
have witnessed his splendid campaign
through the state EzThey glory in his ef-
forts to break down the rings and they,
one and all, recognize in him the one leader
whom the hearts of the people will follow.
On the other hand, many of our best Re-
publicans who say out little about it, will
vote for Ames. To them he is their fellow
townsmen, and they take pride in having a
Minneapolis man in the governors chair.
They do not believe the silly stories of
Deacon NettletOn, for all men are not so
hide bound or straight-laced as the deacon.
On the whole, after a careful survey of
the situation, we feel safe in saying that
DR.. Ames will have larger majority than
