NOW MIR. FULLER.
He Critically Analyses the Doran
Letter.

FL. H. Fuller said to the GLOBE last
night of Mr.. Doran'S letter:
Such an exceedingly interesting let
ter, cOuched in such polite language
and written just at this particular time,
surely Oug hit to convince the average
Democrat beyond question that the
fortune to possess such noble speci-
men of humanity as its repre-
sentative Oh the national commit
tee and chairman of the state
central committee! The exceedingly
modest way in which he alludes to his
many acts of heroism and Self-sacrifice
in the interests of the Democratic party
might perhaps have come with more
propriety from some one else-but we
all know of Mr.. Doran's excessive mod
esty, and must excuse these remarks of
self-laudation as being accidental rather
than Intentional, as over critical
One of the most noble and Just
acts of the state central committee,
which Mr.. Doran, as chairman, did not
strenuOuSly oppose, was in depriving
Ramsey, Hennepin and certain other
counties of their just representation in
the coming state convention, by making
the vote of four years ago the basis in
stead of two, which was the time of the
last state electiOn-theSe two coun-
ties thus losing about thirty
delegates. Such spirit of
honesty and fairness surely deserves
the warmest commendation! AS to Mr..
Doran's remarks about having no per-
Sonal ambition, etc., his record is we'll
known to the Democracy OF Minnesota,
and his statement will, no doubt, be re-
of cir
plicity and sincerity as that in which it
is rendered. Mr.. Doran speaks of the
"City Hall Gangw Will he kindly
uais it consists Does he include
all the regular employees of the city in
this startling term? If so, they must
feel highly cOmplimented by his tender
illusions, and will no doubt remember
him in the proper spirit when an OPP
portunity occurs. 1t seems to me that
his sentiments toward this so-called
''gang" have changed somewhat
within the past years. 1 have been
informed that he entertained very
kindly feelings toward it two years ago,
when it was limited fromIsome unselfsh
motive OF other he desired to keep con-
troll of the state central committee. and
did not seriously object to using all
proper means to obtain the friendship
of the Ramsey county delegation-for,
of course, no one would suggest that i'm
proper means were used at that time-it
would be an injustice too ter
rible to be even thought of.
This high-minded statesman from LIE
Sueur county pleads guilty to coming
up here in Ramsey county and Organiz-
ing clubs for us! How very kind of
him! He starts in four months before
a1 in m Of &l,o&
the expected members can have time
enough in which to muster the requisite
enthusiasm, which shall reach its
highest point on election day! Why
was he not as Jealous two years ago?
The way in which these clubs were Or
ganiZed is very interesting. A few paid
emissaries (most of whom nobody
knows), 60 about andeee whoever they
please, and all at once the public is in
formed that club has been formed,
purpOrting to be a Cleveland
and Thurman club of certain
ward! Instead of a call, signed
| inviting all Democrats who desire to
become members and put conspicuously
| in the Democratic organ, the work is
done in this way! No wonder that clubs
formed in this un-DemOcratic manner
are not recognized by the county COM
mittee Neither should they be, al
| though I am informed that there are a
few representative Democrats in them.
1t is an insult to the county COM
| mittee for Mr.. Doran to insinuate
that it has not acted properly in Issuing
the recent call for county convention !!
| 1t is an insult to the gentlemen who
have been appointed as judges, for Mr..
Doran to insinuate that they propose to
act unfairly at the primaries tomorrow
night! They have been appointed to
! see that there is fair play, and
! believe that they will do it!
There Is no reason for their being con-
! sidered other than upright, conscien-
! tious men, and this cry of ''fraud'' is, to
