The Sixth Ward Democratic club in
dorsed the Democratic citizens COM
mittee last night
The sentiment of the meeting was
in favor of good clean government,
and, when the motion was put to
indorse the citizens movement, the
pent-up enthusiasm Of the large num-

launched the campaign last night when
they made provision for a primary
committee to look after every precinct
in the ward, and decided to hold week
ly meetings from this time on.
The Eighth ward Democrats are for
harmony, and will go to the conven-
ton with the avowed intention Of haV-
ing a hand in the nomination of man
who will carry the day this spring.
Judge Joseph Smith, the chairman OF
the club, urged all the voters in the
ward to forget any. personal grudges
they might have against any members
of the party, and work for the success
of the ticket
While he had nothing to say against
Mayor Doran's personal character, he
did think the administration had about
exhausted the calendar Of political
blunders, at the expense of the people.

caused their defeat at the last may
orally election, but they themselves.
If they were united this spring, they
could carry the election proudly. The
citizens of st. Paul had elected two
reform tickets, both of them Republi
can movements, and they had in each
case been a dismal failure, farce.
In closing, Judge Smith urged the
necessity of forgetting the little short
comings which any of the candidates
might have, for, as he said, nothing
brought out the little incongruities of
a man like canvass for Office.
A. L. Graves hoped that every voter
in the ward would carry out the sug-
gestions of Judge Smith, and not fail
to come to the primaries.
H. Cameron said he had lived in the
ward six years, and the two reform
administrations were too much for h IN.
why not let these pass and give clean
city government chance?' said he, in
closing.
r. ]. Faucett said he had nothing to
say in Gerision of the administration,
but he hoped every one would study up
and see for himself what had caused
the present loose city government.
MI. Faucet voted for Bryan last fall,
and, although he was on the losing
side, said he was proud of it. He
would always stand for the principles
of the Chicago platform.
William Kelly asserted that 1t was
within the reach of the party to elect
a ticket this spring, if they would only
vote as one man. Two years ago the
Republicans had elected their ticket,
which at the time savored very much
of reform, but since then the reform
had disappeared, leaving only the
SAVIOR.
William McAndrews said he hoped
the meeting would not delay in ap-
pointment of precinct men to look after
each district in the ward, thus enabling
them to conduct their canvass syste-
matically. The Republicans had al
ready precinct men in the field, and
Mayor Doran's men were endeavoring
to win few votes for him down by
the brewery.
Anthony Yoerg moved that the APP
pointment of precinct men be left with
the executive committee to be reported
upon at the next meeting. The motion
was carried.
Future meetings of the club will be
held Tuesday nights. in Paul Martins
hall.
