The committee met in executive ses-
sion and transacted considerable bust
ness of routine nature. The most i'm
portant was the organization of sys-
tenn for taking complete poll Of the
! wards to give the committee a dupli-
| cate Of the polling lists. Two COM
m1ttee men in each precinct will make
house-to-house canvass and report
| the results Of their labors to the ward
committeeman. who in turn will report
| to a general superintendent to be ap-
pointed by the chairman Of the county
committee. The duties of the super
| tntendent will be to collate and tabu-
late the returns sent In from each
ward. So far as possible the politics
of each voter will be ascertained and
set down opposite his name. To the
Democratic judges Of election in each
| precinct has been assigned the duties
| of making this canvass. In this manner
the county committee expects to secure
complete list of all the voters in each
precinct and will see to 1t that none
of the votes that belong to the Demo
Gratis are allowed to go astray on cleo
ton day. A copy of the polling lists
of the last election is in the possession
of the committee and by comparison
with the returns this year the COM
mittee will be able to tell at glance
| just how many voters have changed
| their residence, whether any colonial
ton is being attempted, and in other
ways have a complete check on the reg
istration lists.
| The chairman was authorized to ap-
point a committee on halls, in addition
| to the executive, finance and other
committees that will be appointed and
/ announced .toga y A committee will be
| no nd 70 or,.ofl fnr ho
ings. T. D. O'Brien and Chairman
Rosing, of the state central committee
| go to Chicago tonight to confer with
| Senator Jones, Of the national COM
mittee, and arrange for the tour of Mr.
Bryan through the Northwest.
The county committee will meet on
| Tuesday, at 3 D. M, and at that time
| the vacancy caused by the resignation
| of G. w. Gordon, nominated for the leg
! islature in the Seventh ward. will be
| filled. Mr.. Townley's appointment as
| chairman Of the county committee,
| takes him out Of the field, and at this
| time it is difficult to predict who will
| be selected.
| The county committee of the National
| Democrats held second meeting last
night at the headquarters of the Sound
| Money club to further consider the
advisability Of putting a county ticket
in the field. The question Of nominal
| ing a congressman was also touched
| upon, but was not seriously consider
| ed.
| DR.. Shrader voiced the sentiments Of
| those present when he expressed the
| opinion that the National Democrats
| ought not to nominate a congressman
| in this district, but should work as
hard as possible to secure the election
| Of F. G. Stevens, the Republican con-
| posed to the nomination of a county
ticket by the National Democrats. Dr.
| Shrader concluded with motion that
| the committee do put a. county ticket
| In the field, but as there was not a
| quorum Of the committee present, the
motion was amended to the effect that
the question of making any nomina-
| tions be referred to an executive COM
mittee with full power to decide what
| should be done.
DR.. c. G. Williams, the chairman of
| the committee, thereupon named the
following executive committee: J. J..
McCafferty, w. G. Read, ]. J. Watson,
| William F. Hoffman, J. H Farrell,
Peter Daily, D. F. PEBBLES and William
| Dawson Jr
The committee then adjourned sub
| ject to the call of the chairman.

The Young Mems Sound Money
League. which was organized a week
ago, held it's second meeting last night
at the headquarters of the sound money
club in the Germania Life building. The
| attendance was fairly good considering
that the meeting was not very extern
svelys advertised.
The league first proceeded to COM
plete it's organization. At the first
meeting A. M. Wickwire was elected
president; Gustave Scholle, first vice
president, and Norman Fetter, secre-
tary. Last night the league elected
T. B. Neuhausen second vice presi-
dent; G. T. Forssell, third vice presi-
dent, and J. T. Scott, treasurer
After some discussion the league de-
cided to inaugurate parade upon the
occasion Of the next large sound money
rally held in st. Paul under the direc-
ton of the Republican state central
committee. To this end a committee
on arrangements was appointed to or
ganize the marching demonstration.
| The design is to equip all the members
of the league with umbrellas. A com,
mittee Of three was appointed to fur
nish quartette music and secure a
band.
From the report Of the members
present who have circulated lists to
members of the league, over 1000
young men have already signed.
Hereafter the Young Mems Sound
