Until the present year, Seventh ward Re-
puDicans have never found it necessary to
make any effort to get their adherents ont N
meetings. But now they realize that desper-
ate measures are necessary, and an urgency

AID. Milham was being congratulated ON
all sides yesterday that he has consented to
again represent the Eleventh ward in the
board Of aldermen.
Voters who favor submission of the Howard
charter to a vote Of the people are being
driven from the Republican party every day
by the desperate, albeit laughable, efforts
being made to explain the fact that the Re-
publican platform ignores the question entire
1y. All of their arguments are now being
directed to proving that the mayor would
have nothing to do with the submission of
the charter. This is exceedingly strange, say
the Howard charter men, because no one has
ever claimed that he would have anything to
dc with 1t. The only point insisted upon,
and the only one necessary to consider, is
that all Of the Democratic candidates are
openly pledged to q fair deal in this matter,
and the Republican candidates are not. The
Democratic candidates are discussing this
and other local issues, while the Republicans
are deyoting all their time to the advocacy
of Mckinley fer president, Doran for mayor,
and Republican party men for all the offices.
Billy Johnsons repeated illusions to Stu
cratiye'' positions, Oar Reese's declaration
against civil service reform-until Repub-
ncans hold ali the offices, Ed Rogers wild
eyed pleading for apportionment Of the spoiis
among the workers. and Rev. DR.. Smiths
grim silence since Col. Lowenstein turned
the Republican city convention against him
these few lines of recent authentic his
tory are being seriously studied by thought
ful Republican voters. The hurrah meetings
run by avowed spoilsmen, oficeholders and
ofice-hunters are not being attended by such
men, are not even countenanced by the great
body Of earnest Republican citizens. They
are not being, and cannot be, reached by the
methods Of campaigning, which seems to be
the ideal of the Republican precinct and
ward committees. On election day the silent
citizens will all be heard from, and the ideal
citizen and candidate, Hon. o. o. Cullen, Is
going to be the beneficiary of their votes. to-
gether with the Democrat Citizens ticket, as
a whole. This is the judgment of Howard
charter men, prohibitionists, Independents,
thinkers, and of practical politicians, who
realize that state and national issues have
no sort of excuse for being introduced into
a municipal campaign.
A good number of the Hamline friends Of
Prof. Innis gathered on the lawn in front
of his residence early last evening to con-
gratulate him on his nomination for mayor
on the Prohibition ticket. Brief addresses
were made by D. Morgan, D. D. Kimball,
T. w. Wallace, George F. Wells, Profs. Grif-
fin and Drew, Rev. Father Gmeiner and A.
L. Richardson. The last-named is a stu
dent, who was a delegate to the Republican
city convention. He declared that, while ne
was a Republican, he knew a good thing
when he saw it, and for that reason would
vote for Prof. Innis. Mr.. Richardson says
that Prof. Innis will receive the entire stu
dent vote.
Prof Innis was moved by the kind words Of
his fellow townsmen. He declared that the
law-abiding element Of st. Paul was entitled
to q mayor who stood squarely on law
enforcement platform. 1t is too bad that for
years neither of the other parties has named
q candidate for mayor who gave his word Of
honor that the laws should be enforced.
There are worse things than being in mi
nority. Through the efforts Of Ave or six
earnest men and women the Republican and
Democratic parties have planted themselves
on law and order platform. 1t ts a pity
that they cannot drag their candidates to the
platform also. "Give us 500 votes" said he,
"and we can present our petitions with cour-
age to the next administration. Let us cast
1000 or 5000 votes, and we will compel either
party In power to enforce the laws. Give us
a majority and we will not need to petition.
for stand on the platform, and If elected.
will respect my oath Of office and enforce the
laws"
The Hamfine university students gave the
college yell, and sang:
He's jolly good fellow,
And Innis Is his name.
And after shaking hands with the popular
candidate the gathering dispersed.
1t was an enthusiastic ratification meeting
that the Democrats Of the Sixth ward held
last night at 237 Fillmore avenue. There
were fully 150 present. Addresses were de-
livered by Thomas D. O'Brien, ]. ]. Parker,
Capt. M. ]. O'Connor, John e. Stryker, Aid.
Krieger, Cornelius Quincy, Robert N. Hare,
James Melady and others.
Mr.. oBrien and Capt. O'Connor discussed
the Democratic candidates, and Mr. Parker
assured his hearers that the Democratic
party favored the policy Of retrenchment, and
that its candidates for the assembly are men
who will bend all their efforts towards secur-
ing reduction Of the taxes. Mr.. Stryker
dwelt upon the platform Of the Democratic
party and exposed the weaknesses Of the Re
publican platform. Mr.. Stryker also declared
his belief in the necessity of securing pub
lie library building as soon possible.
