Gle of fame, but there is one young man
on the county ticket who has never
known such word as fail and who
backs up Webster IN the statement that
there is no such word as can't. He has
neveE failed. He never will He never
said he couldn't, because he al
ways said lie could. He asked the
ramsey county Democratic con-

The question as to who should be the
successor Of County Auditor NJ. F. Kahn
was virtually decided by the Democratic

flee James II. Burns. The good judg-
ment OF the convention will meet with
the hearty commentator of the voters
or ramsey county, and in the election
or MI. Burns, worthy successor to Mr.
Kahn will be secured
The nominee came to st. Paul four
teen years ago when mere lad, penni-
less and alone, and began by the labor
of MS own hands, working himself up.
For i've years he worked as Journey
man printer on the GLOBE and the
Pioneer Press, when he started out to
publish the st. Paul Herald. From a
very moderate beginning-with only q
$500 outfit-the Herald has grown, I'M
der Mr.. Burns management. from a
little struggling weekly into daily
and always true and fearless exponent
OF The peoples interests. Today he has

been nominated and should receive such
united support as will insure his cleo

gaze as clique of ofilceseekers and
''crib-feeders" who have failed in their
endeavors to work the party for their
own profit and advancement a good
business man, a faithful Democrat
Mr.. Burns record altogether will COM
mend him to the voters of Ramsey
county as candidate whom they can
