He In Making q Splendid Campo ign
and Looks Like a Winner.
j. o. Davis, Democratic candidate for
county auditor, whose portrait appeared
In last weeks Irish Standard, is growing
in popularity with the voters every day
and his election now seems a certainty.
Mr.. Davis made the race for the Office
two years ago and came near winning.
receiving 2l,544 votes to 24.450 for c. j.
Minor, the present incumbent and can
didate for reelection. For the benefit
of our readers we publish herewith a
sketch of Mr.. Davis, which appeared in
the Irish Standard during the campaign
| of 1896, every word of which is true:
i Among the various nominations for
city and county Offices made by the DEM
ocrats, and Endorsed by the Populists
and Silver Republicans, no one is to our
knowledge more competent to fulfill an
| important position and none more richly
deserves reward for good and faithful
service in behalf of the public than
John o. Davis, the unanimous choice of
the conventions fof the above named par
ties as their nominee for county auditor
of Hennepilf couhty
Mr.. Davis was born in 1865 at New
Castle. Ohio, of sturdy Welsh parentage.
His father followed the occupation of a
miner at Jackson, Ohio, where the fam
/ lily removed '1rfSSm New Castle. When
the subject of this sketch was but IA
years of age his father died, and Tie
young man went to work at the mines,
doing what was in his power to help in
supporting a family of six children of
which he was the eldest. Sixteen years
ago he came to Minneapolis and secured
position with the grocery firm Of o.
! Parkhurst {; Son, where he remained for
/ two years, afterwards being employed by
chants, where he continued for five years.
/, 1t was while in the employ of the latter
firm that Mr.. Davis learned bookkeeping,
being taught by his employer, who was
! an expert in that line. In 1890, Mr..
Davis was appointed deputy county
auditor by Geo. E. I4edgerwood, who was
in that year elected by the Democrats
and in 1892 the Republican incumbent,
Clayton r. Cooley, recognizing the emil
ncnt fitness of Mr.. Davis and the splen
= did satisfaction given to the public at
large by the young man, Immediately re-
appointed him, and throughout four
years retained him as one of his most
trusted and skillful employees.
1t is this splendid record as a public
servant that has made J. 0. Davis de-
servclly popular with all the patrons of
the auditors office. Always obiging and
patient with everybody he was ever
ready to attend to every request for need
cd information. This characteristic in j.
o. Davis has won for him thousands of
, staunch friends among all parties. For
this as well as for his splendid ability,
he has been honored by his party and by
/; two other parties with their unanimous
nomination. His election on Nov. s. by
a large majority of votes, would be a
reward to which he is richly entitled.

| Mr.. Joshua Rogers, Republican Candi-
date for City Controller and Mr.. Wal
lace G. Nye, Chairman of the Republic
can City Committee, City Hall:
| entlemen-lnasmuch as the issues of
the city campaign are largely financial
and are vital to the city's future stability
and welfare, permit me, as candidate
of the Democratic and Peoples parties
and Independent Republicans for city
controller, to herewith invite and chal-
lenge you to joint debate ON the public
platform upon the financial issues Of the
campaign.
| In order that the debate may be d.
rected to the real issues of the munici-
! pal campaign, rather than to partisan
politics, permit me to outline some Of
the questions inviting candid discuss
sion:
why are Minneapolis taxes this
year 100000 greater than for st. Paul?
| 2-Why was there on Jan. over $1,000
600 of delinquent taxes ON the city tax
rolls.
3-Why has the city salary roll been
| allowed to steadily grow during the past
six years of forced retrenchment in bus
| mess and in the homes?
4-Why were the city schools closed
| six weeks short of time, and 700 teach
ers and $4,000 school children turned out
in spite Of the largest school appropria-
ton in the city's history?
5-What was the true cause of the
shortage Of $564,000 in the city's treas
ury?
6-What is the merit of Controller
Nye's recent defense that he could not be
watch dog Of the treasurer"
What is the merit of Candidate
Webster's defense that the treasury de-
falcatlons were due to the tariff?
S-Why are property owners doubly
assessed for water main and sewer main,
and where goes the surplus oyercharge?
9-Of what use to the city is a con-
troller who countersigns and contracts
and orders, legal and illegal, knows moth
ing OF loose and corrupt financial oper-
ations until informed by citizens and the
grand Jury and during six years .,of
financial malfeasance never once lifts a
voice of protest?
1O-Can Minneapolis expect to attract
! home-seekers, investors, new labor and
capital for the restoration and upbuild-
ing OF the city, If it elects to city hall
the apologists and accomplices of those
Who looted the treasury, closed the
schools and confiscated property by I'M
just taxation based upon extravaganza and
corrupt administration?
The invitation to discuss the above and
kindred questions of financial policy is
extended to either or both of you. as
you may elect. AS committee on .ar-
rangements in behalf of myself, permit
me to name Messrs. C. B. Marvin, G. A.
Westphal and H. D. Stocker, of respect

Trusting that you will see fit to publicly
meet the issues so vital to the city's pros

Controlled by classic tastes, all over of
classic models, proficient in the art of
eloquence, John Wiley Willis bids fair
to be to Minnesota what Wendell Phil
lips was to Massachusetts,; and, with the
mantle, to deserve, too, the title of him
of the silver tongue
"He is tall, well-proportioned young
man, dignified in his bearing, gentle
man of unexceptionable habits, and des-
tined to occupy a prominent place in the
history of our state"
The political campaign which followed
was marked by the bittercst assaults up
on Judge Willis because of his liberal
principles. Not word was, however,
breathed against his personal character,
which is spotless. At the election he re-
ceived 10000 votes, a number greater
than would have been necessary to make
him successful had the total vote been
the same and the division of the vote the
same as In the year 1892, a year in which
two fusion candidates were elected to the
supreme bench.
