The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1895-01-03

the desire expressed III some quarters
that our next United States Senator
should come from the country, and
yet it matters little, after all, what
part OF the state the candidate comes
from if he is the right kind Of a man.
Rock County Herald.
With great scare heads the city
papers announce that Congressman
McCleary would not refuse the honor
should the Legislature elect him .. S.
Senator. OF course he would not.
However, we do not believe Mr.. Nc
Cleary is an avowed candidate for
the position. If he was he would
have been out long ago, and let his
friends know that he desired the
office. James T. McCleary has hun
dreds of friends all over the state
who would be glad to see him eleva-
ted notch higher, and stand ready
at any time to help him. They see
in him the frame work of a great
statesman, and they know he has the
ability to fill any position. There is
no one we would rather see elected
United States Senator, and believe it
is only question of time when he
will be called to that position.
The senator's and representatives
elect for the second congressional
district met. at Mankato to discuss
measures and to organize for the
coming session. There were present
at the meeting: Senator F. A. Day,
Fairmont; Senator John Peterson, st.
Peter; Senator Geo. T. Barr, Man
kato; Representative j. P. Burke,
Wells; Representative Gilbert Gut
terson, Butternut Valley; Representa-
tive D. E. Cross, Amboy; Representa-
tive Nick Juliar, Mankato; Repre-
sentative Thos. Torsen, Madelia;
Representative Daniel Shell, Worth
ington; Representative VIM. O. Lock
wood, Edgerton; Representative Ole
o. Holman, Slayton; Representative
E. j. Meilicke, Window, Populist;
Representative Nels Christianson,
Brown county. The speakership con-
test was discussed, and Mr.. Shell was
the unanimous choice. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted: .
WHEREAS, The Second Congress
sional District has always furnished
the largest and most reliable Repub
lican majorities of any district in the
state; and
WHEREAS, It having received but
scant recognition in the distribution
of political favors, and especially so
in the selection of candidates for Of
fcers in the last state convention;
and
WHEREAS, It now presents in the
person of Hon. Daniel Shell of Wor-
Ellington man who is prominently
qualified by experience and ability
for the position of Speaker of the
House of Representatives; therefore
be it
RESOLVED, That relying upon the
fairness and sense of justice of the
party, we have the ut
most confidence in his success, and
pledge to him our steadfast and un-
faltering support to the end.
RESOLVED FURTHER, That this or
ganization be perpetuated during the
coming session of the legislature, and
that meetings of the same, whenever
such may be desirable for the inter
est of the district, be called by the
president and secretary.
The second district members are
thoroughly in earnest and we believe
they will accomplish the election of
Mr.. Shell, and also much needed
legislation. The second district was
never better represented at St. Paul
than it will be this session.
