DORIAN IND0RSES THE TICKET
Second District Democrats at
Mankato - First District
Populists at Austin.

The work of the Democratic state
convention was indorsed on all sides
yesterday. The ticket is satisfactory to
all Democrats. and no one on the oppo-
site side politically could help acknowl-
edging that the Democracy of Mime
sofa had immeasurably strengthened
itself by the magnificent ticket named
Wednesday. From Gen. Becker down,
every name is tower of strength.
There is not a weak place. and, as far
as known, as one veteran politician re-
marked, "It is the first time political
convention in Minnesota of any party
ever made such record.'
The Nominees Sound
Every man on the ticket is sound
Democrat. good citizen, and, in adj
dition, possesses elements of strength
that will tell on election day. Notwith-
standing the fact that there was some
bitterness at several stages in the pro-
ceedingS. the delegates who took part
have returned to their homes enthusi-
astic and ready to 10 to work fol the
entire list of nominees. Seldom indeed
has it been the good fortune of the party
to send its workers and leaders back 70
the people they represented so we'll
pleased and So enthusiastic. The ad.
mration which all vino know Gen.
| Becker feel for him is in this case sup
| plemented by the satisfaction all enter
| tain over the fact that the balance of
! the gentlemen honored with nomina-
| tions by the convention are worthy OF
places on ticket headed by the gallant
and fearless standard bearer.
COngratuiating Gen. Becker.
All day yesterday Gen. Becker was
kept busy receiving the congratulations
of his friends. They were of all parties
and conditions. and the good wishes
came right from their hearts. At the
time the GLOBE representative called
at Gen. Bccker's office in the afternoon,
a pile of telegrams lay on his desk.
These came FROM all parts fof the state,
and show the interest taken in the
doings of the convention, as we'll as the
fact that the Democracy of Minnesota
feels happy over the result. In speak
ing of the conventions Gen. Becker
said:
"The convention was the greatest
gathering In the history of the party.
l have attended nearly all of the state
councils Of the party for years, and
never saw so many able aud well-known
men together Ill state convention
before. They were In earnest, too, a
fact that particularly impressed me. 1t
was remarkable body of men. credit
| able to both the state and the Demo-
cratic party"
Preparing for Action.
In answer to question Gen. Becker
stated that the nominees and the chair
man of the late convention will meet in
few days and decide upon the seven
| members of the state committee to be
appointed from the state at large. AT
this meeting, while it is expected that
the situation will be canvaSsed, no plan
of campaign will be mapped out. This
will he left for the candidates and the
committee when the remaining men,
berS are appointed and present. Gen.
Becker in announcing his acceptance
OF the honor will do SO in a letter defin-
ing his position on the issues of the
campaign. This will be change, and
veIy popular one, and will inform the
voters of the state just what a vote
for him and the balance of the Demo.
cratic ticket means.
All Will Work.
In this campaign every man on the
ticket will be worker. All, with one
or two exceptions, are good takers, and
before election day arrives the people
will have chance to compare them
with their opponents of the Republican,
Populist and Prohibition parties One
thing that makes the candidates feel
like making the best possible canvass
Of the state is the fact that discord has
ceased. and all elements and factions
of the Minnesota Democracy are united
and will make a strong pull for the sue
cess of every man. Yesterday there
were leaders of both factions in
Wednesdays gathering in the city, and
all were delighted with the outcome.
Senator Leavett, of Meeker, on being
asked his views. said:
lit is first-class ticket. Every man
is worthy of the honor for which he has
been named. 1t is we'll balanced and
fairly well distributed. Every Democrat
can work and vote the ticket from head
to foot and feel that,if elected. the state
government Will De III good handS."

ticket, deserving of success and calcu-
lated to appeal strongly to loyal Demo.
