in the party who would be all right any way
am strongly in favor of making every effort
to secure our convention in st. Paul. The
feeling has been very prevalent in the North
west that The Eastern wing of the party re-
gs rded us ms irreuievably swamped, and that
it was useless to waste any effort on US We
were a sort of fOrlorn hope. ana the neglect
has been dispiriting. Sending the conVeu-
ton here will inspriL our people and convert
lstlessness into enthusiastic activity. 1t Will
be Il recognition of the good work done aud
a strong encouragement TO Work harder.
Ron. o. o. Cullen, President OF the Board
of Aldermen-I should most heartily support
a plan TO secure the convention for st. Paul,
for it would be Of great benefit to us, and do
more 10 place US before the whole country
than anything which has ever occurred i'll the
history of The CITY
CORPORATION Attorney Lawler-It would be
a solendid thin, for st. Paul TO secure the
convention. and We ought TO get j, II Mime
apolis would help us as we helped them.
W. j. FTeaney-St. Paul ought to have the
Democratic national convention next year,
and believe Minneapolis will gladly help
her all she can. If the Democratic cOnven-
ton can ever be brought to the Northwest
both st. Paul and Minneapolis would reap
great benefits. We need a permanent ha!l,
large enough to accommodate any conYen-
ton.
T. j. Foley-Of course we want the Demo
cratic convention. and believe we can get II
if il is pushed right.
Col. i. r. Welz-The Democratic cOnven-
ton should be secured for ST. Paul by all
means. l hope the scheme VIII be taken up
and pushed for all there Is in IT,
Nj. W. Fitzgerald am earthly in favor OF
the move to bring the Democratic conyen-
ton to St Paul We can take care of all the
people who attend. and give them the best
time they ever had.
Ex-Mayor Ludwig of Winona-Of course l
think st. Paul ought to have the Democratic
convention. and | want to be counted as
ready to do all can to help her secure 1t.
Il Tf.l.sa DN1 - IN
of the people who will come TO the next
national Democratic convention: OF course
she can: only see to 1t that she Is given a
chance.
Gen. Becker. Chairman Of the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission heartily in
0Orse the movement should Ike to see an
effort made to secure the convention to this
city. 1t is the duty of every citizen to Iend
his influence, for it must inure TO The benefit
OF the city and TO the state ey EN- IL not
successful in the endeavor. And it occurs
to me that with earnest work the convention
can be secured. l had some doubt about the
success of the Republican emisSaries, but
now that see the arguments they presented
were 30 influential, believe the same argu-
ments would be dOubly effective upon the
Democratic committee. If Minneapolis joins
ST. Paul in this movement with as much zeal
as St Paul joined Minneapolis in ner mission
to Washington, something might be ac-
com plished, but as to probabilities, the
GIOGE is in a better condition TO Judge than |.
] should like very much to see the cOnven-
ton come to st. Paul. 1t would attract at
tentiOn to the Northwest and would be of
great general benefit to have the national
| nominating conventions of the two gre 1t
! parties choose presidential candidates in the
| Twin Cities. If the Democrats make the eff
| fort. there is some show of success. An au-
| ditOrium will have 10 be provided, ana mat
! is the very thing St. Paul greatly needs.
! Col. Edward c. Becker-Ihe Northwest IS
large enough and has hospitality enough to
| give both conceptions royal welcome.
! There is nothing small about us. Yes. hope
| the next president may be nominated In ST.
! Paul.
C. A. Clausen, Chief Grain Inspector-Any
| ST Paul man who would not he glad to see
any ard all conventions come here Wouldn I
| he very loyal to st. Paul, would he? If the
| Democratic convention is secured to St Paul
both cities would pull together to entertain
| their common guests. There is work to be
done. ana the second convention would nat
! urally be IN aid TO the first.
| ID. Z. ReeSe-It wOIid be a m ;gn:fe2nt
strike, and am willing to do everything in
my power tG fur, her the movement 1t
would be a recognition or the Northwest,
and think getting the Republican cOnven-
! ton is the greatest thing that has happened
in the history of the state. The Twin Cities
will be in the mouths Of the nation until
after the next election.
Adjt Gen. Mulen-Yes, ] indOrse the
movement, and it would only be natural that
St. Paul would win after Minneapolis victory
in Washington.
ATTORNEY General Clapp-It would be the
| proper move for ST. Paul TO make. As a mat
| ter of loca! pride. if nothing more, strenu-
| Gus effort should be made.
Col. Joseph Bobleter, State Treasurer
| hone the Democrats of both cities will unite
in the effort. 1t will be a great thing for the
| Northwest.
Hon. A. Herman. State Auditor-I favor
! the plan with al my heart 1t will be a
| grand thing for the party, and will help the
irof,a no a MIR q
! offset to the enthusiasm the Republicans an
! ticipate in their coup.
Tams Bixby-I hope they will get it. II
VIII advertise the Northwest.
General Passenger Agent Gilfllan, st. Paul
| < Duluth Road-That is the greatest scheme
| yet; the Northwest will surely be in it then.
| J. G. Mccullough. Omaha Road think it
| will be the biggest thing that ever struck the
Northwest and good thing for both cities
General Freight Agent Clark. OF the Omaha,
said that the idea of securing the convention
was capital, and If accomplished would be @
magnificent gain for both cities.
| +. j. Whitney, of the Great Northern, said
he favored anything that would benefit this
city and the Northwest. He thought the
! Democratic convention could be secured
! nicely if the Twin Cities would combine
again. Il am in favor of erecting a suitable
hall for our semi-centennial celebration and
for the Democratic convention"
W. II. Dixon, Milwaukee Line-I am in IA
vor of all and any conventions. The Twin
| thu country.
". Il. Bull. of the Duluth road--A splen
did move; l am in favor Of it."
City Comptroller Pontnan-I am strongly
in favor of an effort being made TO secure
the Democratic convention for ST Paul We
ought to erect an auditorium building, which
would be monument Of the eyentand also
of the prosperity of the citv.
City Treasurer Reis-It would be a grand
thing for 81. Paul to secure the Democratic
convention. and we can get 1t if the right
kind of work is carried out to secure it.
Judge Twohy-I strongly favor the plan
and if we work in the right manner st. Pau
| will WIN easily.
Mayor Smith-If the party is in favor of tbs
convention being held in ST. Paul, and we
can provide building large enough for ths
requirements, would support the plan mos
! heartily.
Clerk of Courts R. T. O'Connor-Of course
we ought to have it. and an auditorium
should be erected specially for the purp Sc
TO show we mean business. We can get it il
we work for it.
J. H. Mahler-Everybody. regardless of nj:
politics, must admit that the Democratic con
VentiOn would be a good thing for the town
and if Minneapolis viii be as generous ii
helping us as we have been in helping her
don't see why we shouldn't have it. con
vention is always good advertisement for
new city ike ours
L. L. Bixby-There is no place in the world
better for holding the Democratic convention
than st Paul, if we only had suitable build
ing. The city is badly in need of some large
permanent hall for public meetings, and II
we go to work and build one there can be NJ
better place for the convention. We viii
have to contend against the fact that Mime
apolis has the Republican convention, bu
that makes no real difference. AS to hote
accommodations. we can unqnestiOnab.y
take care of the convention easily aud have
room 10 give away. The thing is worth fight
ing for, anyhow.
Henry A. Castle-The location of the Re
publican convention at Minneapolis would
seem to make practicable a united and very
promising effort TO secure the Democratic
convention at St Paul. OF course, we Re
publicanS expect considerable party advan
tage from the holding of our national con
vention in this state. and are moi at all anx
ious 10 see this advantage neutralized to any
extent by a cOun.er-movement by the
Democrats in the same direction But,
were 1 a Democrat, l should con-
slider the time quite propitious for making
