HINEBAUGH FOR MAYOR
WILL RUN ON A NON-FACTIONAL
TICKET
He Is Willing to Serve as Chief Ex-
ecutive of the City without Pay
All Officers to Turn Their Sal
aries BnctS-His Policy Outlined
I'm Case He Is Elected.

After weeks consideration the ex-
ecutive committee of the Young Mems
Central Democratic club decided last
evening, as there were already three
prospective Democratic tickets in sight
to place a non-factional Democratic
ticket in the field for harmony. In an
interview with E. G. Hinebaugh, who
was selected as the standard bearer of
the non-factional Democrats, Mr.. Hine-
baugh said:
Eyes sir. the time has come when the
young Democracy of this city will be an
important factor In all coming elections.
The Bell-Scannell Democratic committee
Will call convention and nominate a full
ticket; the Democratic citizens city COM
mittee, of which ]. G.. Michael Is chairman,
Will do likewise, and Henry Fuller will put
his Independent Democratic ticket in the
the ticket.
''Ihis will make three supposedly Demo-
cratic tickets already appealing to the vot-
ers Of the Democratic party for support
!, therefore, see no reason why the Young
Democracy through its central organization,
the Young Mems Central Democratic Club
OF Ramsey County. which has done 30 much
work for the party in the past, and never
as yet received nomination or appoint
ment, should not also put full ticket
In the field and establish non-factional
Democratic party with harmony as their
standard. in hopes Of reuniting the entire
party.
This will be done and city committee
for the non-partisan Democratic party has
been partly selected from the Young Demo-
cracy. 1t includes Daniel Hickey, chair
nan; F. .h E. n.d MESSING secretary H W
cation; William T. Orr. George Rodgers and
Harry Nissan. The others will be select
ed tomorrow evening.
1--WE are willing to withdraw any candi-
date or candidates or the entire ticket
which will be named at our convention. IL
this will result in love-feast and united

our organization, legally as the non-parti-
san Democratic party
Yes have at the urgent request of our
chief huStlers in the central organization
agree to head the ticket for mayor. but as
l have decided views Of my own on a plat
form and city administration and no money
to put into the campaign, should be glad
I'm the first place I believe that the
mayor, all of the aldermen, assembly,
men and such officers as devote only
few hours each day to the public's bust
ness, should be patriotic men who depend
upon their private business for their liveli-
hood, and should devote their entire salaries
stitutions and the poor in need, and to be
free from corrupt practices, they should not
spend any money to be elected.
Now, to illustrate, 1 was very recently
told by prominent Republican politician
In a position to know Just what he was
talking about, that it would cost $4,000
W CoHuuCI campaign LOT Lnelr candidates
this spring. Now the mayors salary is only
$500. He serves two years. that Is 81, 900.
Where will his candidate get back his $780,
600 without resorting to corrupt practices,
to say nothing about his time.
These are points it is about time the
really good-intending citizens and voters of
all parties should commence to consider be-
fore rushing pell-mell to the support of any
candidate Then again, 1 do not believe in
making partisan appointments on the school
board, park board board of fire commits
s1oners, ETC., where the publics interests
are at stake.
THE man for the place is my motto,
and not the place for this or that man. to
pay off political debts Now as to the
laws, what Is the use of making laws un-
less they are enforced? Still there is a
certain element of people in every large city
like st. Paul. who are also citizens, and
desire wide open town. While I am in
favor of a liberal policy and a metropolitan
police force. still believe that the laws
made should be enforced or not made at
all, and should such an unlucky thing hap
pen that should ever be elected mayor of
st. Paul. I would see that the wide open
people would have district to them
selves.
81 mean by this that there would be no
closed up city to all appearances with
everything running wide open. and the
places conducted by favored few, under
a plea of no knowledge of these facts.

close tab ale that moved in the town,
There would be no beating about the bush
tactics adopted while 1 was in Office, all
questions arising would receive a prompt.
