Winner.

The question of who shall be the next
congressman from the Fourth Mime
sofa district is one or vital interest to the
people of the district and particularly
50 to the citizens of st. Paul. In addi-
ton to general matters st. Paul has a
specific and direct interest in the next
congressman owing to the new post

being laid.
The congressman should, beyond
question, be Democrat, and there is
every reason to expect that he will be.
in spite of the accident of Col. kiefer's
election in 1892.

ocratic sentiment the GLOBE has asked

date. He is well known and would be

very ablest members of the Democratic
party or this county. He is an unusually
clear and logical thinker, a forcible
