CASTING THEIR BALLOTS FOR
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES,

voters of the city of Minneapolis
and county OF Hennepin will ex-

| lean citizens in choosing officials to
| represent them in the various depart
ments of the city and county govern
| ment. In nearly every instance the
Democrats and their allies of the Peo-
pies and Silver Republican parties have
been fortunate this year in picking out
the very best material for the different
offices. The Irish Standard will endeavor
to place before it's readers the qua1lfica-
lions of each of the candidates before
election day
THE ALDERMANIC SITUATION.
In the First ward the Democratic NOM
inee is Jacob Foell. who made the race
against Roman Alexander four years
ago and was counted out on close vote
Mr.. Foell has since that time represented
his district in the legislature. having
been elected by nearly 1000 majority
two years ago. He is popular with all
classes, has a good record and should re-
ceive an old time Democratic majority in
the First ward this year. His opponents
are ]. w. Shadewald. Republican, and
Thomas Chapman, Populist.
Harris P. Stone is the Democratic NOM
inee in the Second ward. He is young
and progressive business man and a
good campaigner. Should he receive the
solid Democratic VOTE of which he is in
every way deserving, he will stand a
good chance of being elected, as great
many Republicans have declared their
intention OF voting for him. His Repub-
lican opponent is Edward G. Chatfield
They are stringing roarbacks on Alder
man Lars NJ. Rand down in the Sixth
ward, hoping thereby to stampede the
voters against him. The Irish Standard
has faith in Rand's ability to preserve
his good record and believes that he will
be elected by one of his old time ma
jorities.
John p. Courtney, Democratic nominee
for alderman for the long term in the
Eight ward, is making a lively campaign
The ward is strongly Republican, but if
/ Mr.. Courtney's qualifications were known
to all the voters he would certainly be
elected Suffice it to say that he is in
the plumbing and gas fitting business,
has been a resident of the city for more
than 40 years. Mr.. Courtney resides at
1929 Columbus avenue.
Over in the Ninth ward everything
points to the election of Peter Mccoy.
=, the Democratic nominee for alderman
Mr.. Mccoy is making new friends every
day as the campaign progresses. All the
behalf as well as for all the nominees
on the state, county and city tickets.
Good judges estimate that the Ninth will
roll up at least 500 Democratic majority
this time. Mr.. Mccoy has proved HIM
self to be an ideal aldermanic candidate.
He is a self made man. an old resident
and tax payer of the ward, who has
! worked hard and honestly in his bust
ness career. The voters Of the Ninth
ward should see that their choice shall
be Peter Mccoy fcr alderman on Nov. s.
THE TICKET IN GENERAL.
For justice of the peace there has not
been better nomination made on any
ticket than that of F. Z. Hobbs, Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection for the
East district. Judge Hobbs was elected
two years ago by a majority Of five, and
his record for the past two years has
been so satisfactory that we believe he
will carry the district by at least 1000
this time. The Irish Standard uttered
many kind words in his behalf two years
ago and it affords us much pleasure to
say to the voters OF the First, Second
and Ninth wards that every expectation
has been realized. Justice courts have
| been badly mismanaged in years gone by,
but the administration of Judge Hobbs
has been eminently successful. He is
an honorable, upright man and one who
possesses the stamina to deal out JUS
tice without fear or favor.
| Ex-senator Frank G. Mcmillan is an
ideal candidate for member of the school
hoard. He is an old and popular resi-
dent of the East Side and man of
broad and liberal views Deservedly
popular with all classes, he is sure to
secure the full Democratic vote as well
as hundreds of Republicans. Voters
will act wisely in electing him on :1ov. g..
| Torrance Connolly is one of the Demo-
cratic nominees for library board. He
needs no introduction to the readers of
the Irish Standard. Capt. Connolly is an
old and esteemed resident Of this city
and his personal popularity with all
classes will count heavily in his favor on
election day.
The Democratic judicial convention
acted wisely in nominating for the dis
trict bench Charles NJ. Pond, Frank C.
Brooks and John Day Smith. The first
named has had an experience of six
years as judge of the Fourth judicial
district and hts record in that capacity
entities him to the favorable considera-
ton of every voter. Frank Brooks, too,
