to lend powerful aid in converting Min
nesota to the Democracy is about ready
to launch upon the good work. All that it
now needs is to decide upon name, ap-
prove the concerted plan of action, and
get to work. 1t is the organization that
took its birth at the Harmonic hall
meeting last June-the meeting
which the Republicans vainly hoped
would cause an irreconcilable Dem
Ocratic split, but which turned out to
be an earnest, harmonious gathering
of the yeomanry of the party, bent
only on organizing to redeem the
state. At that meeting E. w.
Durant, of Washington, was chosen
president, and g. A. Moody, of Benton,
secretary, and the former was empow-
cred to choose a name for the new
organization and to select an executive
committee. to consist of six at large,
with the president and secretary ex-
officio, and four from each congressional
district. President Durant yesterday
announced the committee, but deemed
it expedient to increase it to six from
each congressional district. The full
committee is as follows:
At Large-E W. Durant, saltwater, chair
man; c. A. Moody, Sauk Rapids. secretary;

This committee has been called to
meet at the NicOllet house, in Mime
apolis, at 1O:30 a. m. Friday, Aug. Is,
when a plan of campaign will be
mapped out and the real work of the
new organization commenced. 1t is de-
signed to plant Democratic club in
every town, village, and even precinct
in the state, along the lines followed by
the Democratic associations of other
states. Heretofore the party has had no
means of securing the active cooperation
NE fha fofn
either in the campaign or at the polls
on election day. Ali this is now to be
changed, and besides enthusing the
voters in the heat of the campaign,
these clubs will be expected to do al
most invaluable work in the way of ed
ucating the voters to the new plan of
voting, as well as seeing that they go
to the polls and vote OH election day.
To Mayor Durant, the president Of the
organization, was left the selection of
name. This task the genial Saltwater
statesman has already performed, but
will not announce his choice until the
Nicollet house meeting on the 2Sth
inst. 1t will then be submitted to the
committee, and if satisfactory indorsed,
and thus sent forth officially.
While it may be very eXaSperatipg to
the Republicans that it is SO, this new
organization will work harmoniouSly
with the Democratic Association of
Minnesota for the good of the party.
The names of the gentlemen who form
the executive committee are guarantee
of the work that will be done, as we'll
as of the fact that 1t is not factiOnal
organization, as the Republican papers
have attempted to demonstrate. The
leaders of both the Democratic associa-
ton and this new organization feel
that there is work enough for
both to do, and rather well
come each other to the ripenlng
field. The new association will be
made up of clubs located everywhere
throughout the state, and these subor-
dinate clubs will be entitled to voice
in the state or grand organization. the
officers of the latter being elected at the
conventions held annually. More def
mite plans for the future work of the
association will be adopted at Minneap-
oils on the 2Sth of this month.
