to Hear the Addresses
Of the Speakers.
Mayor Ames, Congressman
Rice and Gov. Wilson Dis
cusS the Issues.

Did you see the Democratic parade?
Were you witness to the enthusiasm
at the Peoples theater?
1t appears that up to last evening
there were a few misguided Repub-
licans who believed they could carry
this city and county, but this great
Democratic demonstration completely
undeceived them. The Democrats went
to bed jubilant: the Republicans re-
tired in dismay. c. NJ. FOote, chair
man of the Democratic city COM
mittee that had the affair in
charge, was loaded down with
congratulations at the success of
a political demonstration that inspoint
of numbers and enthusiasm was never
equaled in Minneapolis. There were
two features to the evenings celeDra-
ton. the first being street demonStra-
ton and the second mass meeting at
the PEOPLES theater. For the parade.
there was general preparation, but no
anguiShed request to turn out and
no reiterated advertisement, be-
seeching every able-bOdied voter to
turn out. The result was beyond
the anticipation of the most sanguine
committeeman. 1t showed itself in
parade that packed the streets six
abreast for mile and quarter. and
numbered at least 10000 men. Every
section of the city and every nationality
were represented, and well represented.
and in point of makeup and appoint
ment was perfect. There was more ell
thusiaSm than order. and the parade,
lust as there will be more votes than
style at the polls next Tuesday. Dem
0crats are not much on keeping step
and alignment, but they turn out in
numbers and that is the main point.
mounted poll e, behind which followed
a string of marshals and then the car
riages containing the speakers, includ
ing Gov. Wilson, Mayor Winston, Con-
gressman Rice, DR.. Ames and others.
The various clubs followed thick
and fast after. When it is re-
membered there are few regular
organizations of the Democrats, it is
wonderful where those thousands of
marchers came from. There were
land drum corps without number and
tranSparencies in uncOuntable Quantl-
ties. The line of march was kept bril-
liant throughout with colored fires and
fireworks, and was received with cheers.
AS a whole it was a remarkable de
monstration and glittering success
throughout.
