litical Notes.
At yesterdays meeting of the Repub-
Lean county executive committee Messrs.
P1cha, Libbey and Selb were named as
a special committee to take charge of and
complete the arrangements for Saturday
nights rally at the Auditorium, with
which the Republicans will close the cam
pa1gn locally. 1t Is intended to make this
fitting close to week that opened as
enthusiastically as did this week of the
campaign in st. Paul. 1t Is proposed to
have huge parade preceding the meet
ing. Republicans from the various wards
VIII gather at Rice Park and parade to
the Auditorium. The Minnesota State
band has already been engaged and the
Third ward Republicans have also en-
gagged band Other wards are expected
to follow suit. =.
Minneapolis Republicans will return the
compliment paid them by their ST. Paul
brethren on Tuesday night, and will come
over a thousand strong with the Journal
band and other martial music. 1t is ex-
pected that the Minneapolis contingent
will wear their campaign uniforms. The
Norse-American club will turn out for the
first time in this campaign TOO strong.
Capt. j. j. McCardy will probably act as
chief marshal, and each of the wards
will have a marshal to be named later
''Eustis and Stevens badges will be pro-
vided for everybody. &
Third ward Republicans will meet at
the Krahmer block, Seventh and Sibley,
and march to Rice Park in a body Fifth
Warders will meet at 542 West Seventh
street; Sixth warders at 3S2 South Wa
sha street; Eighth warders at University
and Harrington. The places Of meeting
for the other wards will be designated to-
day.
At the Auditorium the speakers will be
William Henry Eustis, V. B. Dolliver of
Minneapolis, Charles A. A. MCGEE of Mil
Waukee, Oar Reese and Others, and there
will be an abundance of campaign music
and other interesting features.
In the candidacy of Hitler H. Horton for
the senatorship in the Thirty-sixth dis
trct the people are given an opportunity
TO vote for the friend of Senator Davis,
bound to the interests of the distinguished
senator by every obligation, political and
personal. Mr. Horton has served in the
legislature before, and during his former
term he rendered conspicuous service to
the city. In the coming Legislature, with
its conceded Republican majority in both
houses, he will be in a position to accom-
push much more for st. Paul. Fortu-
nately, there exists not the slightest
doubt OF Mr.. Horizons election.
The local Democrats are cup in the
air They have been struggling along
without any effective organization split
Up the back in every precinct, pulling
and hauling at cross purposes, every man
on the ticket with a knife ZIP his sleeve
for some other candidate, hoping that
there might be apathy enough among
the Republicans to allow one or two Of
their candidates to slip in. And for a
time 1T looked as if there might be some
foundation for the hope. But the last
1nX
and the gloom of despair has settled
down about Democratic Headquarters
The series of Republican meetings held
on Monday night, when the voters turned
out by thousands to welcome Mr. Eustis
and Capt. Van SAINT was a shock for
the Democrats that stunned them, and
the way the Republicans gathered on
tuesday night to go over to Minneapolis
to the Foraker meeting was the finishing
bloW. "A prominent Democrat, who stood
on the corner of Sixth and Robert Tues
day evening and watched the voters pack
ing the cars bound for the MINNEAPOLIS
meeting, turned to- a Republican friend
and remarked with an earnestness that
was almost pathetic, "Well. I am glad
am not candidate on the Democratic
ticket this year,
The Republicans are united, earnest and
fill of fight for the whole ticket, fr,1n
governor down to county commissioner
The Democrats are split up into a score
OF factions. dismayed, disorganized and
dlsheartened and full of fight-only
AGAINST each other So marked has be-
come the hostility within the ranks that
1T would be a safe proposition to offer
reward for a Democrat who intends
to vote the straight ticket from top to
bottom. No one would ever claim it.
Livery one of them has somebody marked
for slaughter, SO far as he can accomplish
it.
The Fourth ward must choose between
representative who will go to the legis-
lature to represent the interests of his
ward and city and one who will go to
represent private grab on the state
treasury. 1t should not be a difficult mat
ter to make the choice between Henry
Johns and John O'Connor The former
must be relied ON in large measure to
take charge of the interests of the whole
city In the legislature where he has won
a position of leadership and influence The
latter would trade off every interest of
the city if he could work through his
private graft.
The people want a safe man in the
county treasurer's office. Good fellow
ship may be a qualification for some Off
cial positions, but when it comes to turn
ing the county cash over to a man who
has nothing in his favor save that he is
good fellow, the average voter is very
apt to cross the boundary lines. O. H.
Arosin is the only candidate for this office
who is qualified for it's duties and the
people know It, : ~ +.
There is no reason why st. Paul should
not send a solid Republican delegation to
both branches of the legislature There
are many reasons why the interests of
the city. would be furthered by the cleo
ton Of every Republican candidate to
both senate and house. In the first place
it would mean sixteen votes for Senator
Davis and five votes for Senator Nelson.
1t would mean united delegation in
every matter in which the interests of
the city were involved. It is conceded by
the opposition that the legislature will
be Republican in both branches. With a
Republican legislature solidly Replbli-
influence than a divided delegation If
politics is dismissed from the considera-
tion of the uestion and it is made one
OF personal fitness alone there would still
be no reason for the defeat of single
Republican candidate. Taking the whole
list from top tof.bottom the Republican
candidates in every case are the 7superiors
of their opponents and in the majority
of cases the difference is so marked in
favor of the Republican nominees that
comparison is out of the question.
