The Democratic rally at the rooms of
the Hennepin County league last night
brought out fair attendance of the
faithful. who were highly entertained
and instructed by speeches by A. T.
Ankeuy. p b. Winston, o. I. Erick
son. George E. Ledgerwood, Prof. Hove,
j. Williamson, David b. Johnson and
others. Senator Mcmillan presided, and
in felicitous manner introduced Mr..
Ankeny as the first speaker of the even
ing.
Mr.. Ankeny delivered a scholarly and
exhaustive address, eXpounding Demo-
cratic doctrine and enumerating the
many remedial laws passed or originated
by Democratic legislators. He called
particular attention to the fact that
Democrats gave to labor national Labor
day. originated the labor bureau,
passed prohibitory laws of ironclad
contracts by corporations and firms, and
particularly called attention to the
Winston free text books. He also called
attention to the circular recently issued
by General Manager Kendrick, of the
Northern Pacific railroad. wherein the
employees OF that road were forbidden
to take an active interest in politics.
thus contravenlng an express statute
of the state of Minnesota.
Mr.. Erickson confined himself to the
urging of united support of the DEM
ocrats on county, city and legislative
tickets. and particularly urged the CO.
operation of every Democrat in placing
Louis r. THAN in the mayors chair.
George Ledgerwood called attention
to the fact that the auditor. register and
one of the circuit judges select both
the grand and the petit jurors: and
stated that during the past two years
lawyers complained of their inability to
secure verdicts when big corporations
are the defendants. This, Mr.. Ledger
wood said, might be attributable to
negligence in selecting the jury, but
however that might be. the fact is,
justice is not done the plaintiffs in such
cases.
P. B. Winston spoke eloquently on
the necessity of united democratic
action, and urged the support of every
Democratic nominee OH every ticket.
He predicted the election of Mr.. Than
by majority equally as large as that
received by him four years ago.
Prof. Hove made few appropriate
remarks, for which he was literally APP
plauded. David B. Johnson delivered
one of his wonted addresses, full of
fire. and breathing pure Democracy.
Both he and MIR. Williamson regretted
the fact that Mr.. George did not speak
on the tariff, money, or other questions
entering into the campaign, but went
off into the distant future. Mr.. WILL
hanson said as member of the con-
gressional committee he could vouch
tor the truthfulness of the statement
that Mr.. George had promised the CON-
mittee to give a full exposition of the
tariff and money questions, and regretted
that the magnificent audience on last
Saturday evening had been so dis
appointed.
e. E. McAllister. of the Third Ward
Tammany club, made speech, in which
he pledged his organization to the full
support of the county and city ticket.
