RAMSEY

The Democracy is we'll organized and
enthusiastic in every quarter Of the
state. unless it be in Ramsey county.
From the country districts comes but one
story. Wherever Mr.. LAwLER has
spoken, and he has spoken everywhere,
he has made adherents to his cause.
Large and Interested audiences have
greeted him in every city and hamlet,
have listened to him respectfully and
attentIvely, and hundreds who had
wavered or opposed him have gone to
their homes his friends and supporters.
Ihi is not the cheap talk OF the cam
paign liar. 1t is truth based on substan-
tlal evidence in the possession of the
state central committee.
In Minneapolis the Democracy's con-
dltion is superb. The most eXtraordi-
nary type of political astutene5s and
generalship has there been developed.
Every voter in the city is known, with
his past party affiliations and his pres
ent feelings. A vast corps of capable
and efficient workers has been enlisted,
and through their agency every legiti-
mate influence is eXerted to make con-
verts. The rally of last Saturday night
at the Exposition hall was the most
%stupendous thing of its kind in the his
tory of the Northwest. Already more
than 10000 men have registered. a

at the last election. Not a vote will be
lost on the final day. The organization
of the Minneapolis Democracy is per-
feet.
The result depends on Ramsey county.
If it does its duty, LAWYER will be
elected. Every incentive should nerve
us to the highest exertion. The con
sideration of local pride is enough to
make Us ambitious 10 see one of our
own fellow citizens governor. How a
st. Paul nan who loves his city can
vote to put the Alexandria lawyer in
the capitol in preference to his OWL
%neighbor and associate passes he
GLOBES understanding. If Mr.. LAW
E were unworthy of the position it
would be different. But no man in
American public life today has more of
the qualities which would justify
civic advancement than he. He is
intelligent, honest, courageous, court
ecuS, superior to pecuniary temptations,
genial, earnest, of attractive appear
ance and bearing. equal to the serious
duties of office and capable of repre-
senting the state in its lighter aspects
with dignity and credit. Even his pO-
litical foes are forced to admit all this.
Whoever has met him abroad, be it for
only a day or an hour, recognizes its
truth. And we, most of all, who have
seen him Intimately at home year after
year KNOW that it is so. He is his W
best campaign document, and his rec
ord as a loyal st. Paul citizen pleads
his cause with matchless eloquence.
The GLOBE calls on all our people,
without respect to party, to ponder on
these things and to seize the Opportu-
nifty. Whoever believes in the destiny
of st. Paul and is Jealous for its prog
reSS and honor, whoever thinks that the
rewards should be for the deserving,
and that a good name and an upright
life should count III the battle above
everything else, whoever finds his
heart glowing with generous devO-
ton to Minnesota and would have it
stand conspicuous among It's sister
states of the Union-all such men
should do their part at this hour. Let
every man, and child in the
county become a center of agitation
during the ten days that are left. Let
no one wait for his fellow. Let all be
up and doing. The home of DANIEL w.
LAwLER must stand by him as he has
bravely stood by it. If Ramsey county
does not fail, he will be elected.
