for Europe to expend a portion of the
$50 100000 authorized by congress for
national defenses. This was decided
upon at the conference held at Secretary

the most significant step taken by this
country since the war spirit first devel-
oped. The cabinet meeting lasted much

Philip B. Winston

To our readers in the FOrty-first leg
islatiye district, which comprises the
Fifth and Sixth wards of this city, We
wish to express the hope that they will
not forget the candidacy of P. B. Winston
for representative OH the Democratic
ticket from that district. There is not
a man in the Democratic party in Min
nesota that is more deserving of the sup
port of Democratic voters than MI.
Winston. The Irish Standard will not
attempt at this time to place before the
voters of that district in these columns,
the many reasons why he should be sup
ported heartily in this canvass, but will
be content in stating that in the cam
paign of 1896 he devoted not only weeks
OF valuable time but large amount Of
his means in defraying the expenses Of
progress he is again in the harness doing
all in his power to aid Chairman Rosing
and others. thereby neglecting his own
canvass. For these reasons we hope the
voters of the Forty-tirst district will
not forget P B. Winston.

The BiiOu.

Next week revival of one of the most
popular comedies will occur and local
theater goers will be entertained with a.
visit of "Muldoon's Picnic" Since its
recent revival this fayorite old Irish
comedy has been greatly improved by the
introduction of new dialogue and situa-
lions and also in the personnel of the
company engaged in it's presentation. In
it's new form it will be given at the
BiJou next week, and should prove a
magnet that will draw crowus from all
parts for every performance. The play
is undoubtedly one of the funniest farce
comedy productions ever made, and has
produced more laughs during the
eighteen years it has been played than
any other comedy known. In the cast
at the Bijou will be Barney Ferguson,
my Friend from Ireland" whose &C.
centric comedy and legitimate methods
are known to all theater goers. His Long
success in his comedy, "McCarthy's Mis-
haps" and his previous career as a men,
Der of the vaudeville team of Ferguson
and Mack, have made him recognized as
the funniest stage Irishman of the day.
Mr.. Ferguson will resume his original
part OF "Mulcahey'' as played by hi,s
over two thousand times.

For AID ,rman Fret W. Pratt.

The Irish Standard cordially Endorses
the nomination OF Fred w. Pratt by the
Democrats of the Third ward for alder
man. Mr.. Pratt has been resident Of
this city for the past thirty-two years
and of the Third ward for twenty years.
He has been a lifelong Democrat al
though his brother, Mayor Pratt, has
been consistent Republican. The Irish
Standard regrets that there is some OPP
position manifested in Democratic cir
cles dating back to the convention which
nominated Mr.. Pratt The Democratic
nominee is ass;iled, it would seem,
through no fault of his, but because Of
certain alleged unfair methods on the
part of some Of his supporters The
Irish Standard would impress upon the
dissatisfied ones if possible the folly of
such action. 1t is unfair and not Dem
ocratic doctrine. BY all means give Mr..
Pratt, the Democratic nominee, your
earnest support and all will be for the

In the Forty-fourth district the Dem

forth his splendid qualifications for the

Julius Heinrich, though yet a young
man, is an old resident of Minnesota. He
was born in Prairie du Chen, Wis, i'll
1860. and came to Minneapolis with his
parents in 1866, residing here ever since.
He is of German descent and exceeding
ly popular. both in this city. where he is
we'll known. and in many sections Of the
state outside of Hcnnepin county. He is
thoroughly honest in all his dealings,
and if elected to the important position
of secretary of state will certainly prove
to be one of the most capable and eff
ticient state officials we have ever had.
Mr.. Heinrich was always a staunch DEM
ocrat. In 1890 he was nominated by the
Democrats of Hennepin county for reg
lister Of deeds, and was elected by Il ma
jority of 1909. Shortly after the eXpira-
ton of his term of office he with others
established the Phoenix Steam Laundry
and also the Troy Laundry, both of
which are among the best institutions in
their line of business in this city. and of
which enterprises he is president and
