l see him again, standing face to face with
the hour OF his destiny. Either he must
go UP, up. to the highest pinnacle of earthly
ambition. or he must descend to the lowest
depths of oblivion. l see him offered the
highest offices If he will only utter one word
against the gallant Sheridan or the hero of
ApPomatox. l see him standing alone with
that great temptation and I see him cast it
from him as unworthy. With true nobility
OF Soul and uprightness Of character he re-
fuses to build his own fortune upon the des
truct1on of others. 1 see him again, one of
the greatest living Americans, a United
States senator intrusted with the most deli
cate and important duties, and again I see
MIN bringing forth the greatest state paper
ever produced in this any other country
l see the walls of prisons crumbling. the
dungeons of tyranny vanishing and a great
light Illuminating people crushed by bar
oaric treatment. The conflict of arms ceases
and the conflict of mind begins and I sec
him once again in the chambers of the
peace commission at Paris holding in his
hands the destinies of these oppressed peo-
pie see before me the highway of pro-
gress, and as means to the end that we
may enter therein. I nominate for United
States senator Hon. Cushman K Davis

senator Barker recalled how, twelve
years ago, he had the honor to cast
his vote for Senator Davis. He was
| proud of the vote at that time and
would be glad again to elect for the
position to which he was so eminently
fitted
Senator Wilson seconded the. nom
ination. and testified to having served
as an official during the time Senator
Davis was governor of the state in

said, ''had just emerged from the crisis
of civil war. 1t had brought the state
through it's early statehood troubles.
Mr.. Davis had participated in all af-
| fairs Of the state at that time.
| In 1873 we had honorable politics and no
| gubernatorial candidate or other candidate
| was. sacrificed to the whims of Individuals.
testify to his honesty and ability and
| since then he has gone to the front by leaps
| and bounds and today stands as one of the
| foremost statesmen of the age. 1t would be
| distinction to the state to have him again
represent Minnesota in the senate.
Senator Thompson suggested that
| the nomination be made by roll call,
| but Senator Young thought it would
| be better to make the nomination by
a rising vote.
| Representative Rogers hoped the
| Thompson motion would carry. 1t
would be better to have a roll call and
have the members go on record.
Senator Young withdrew his motion,
and just as the secretary was about to
proceed with the roll call, Senator Ry-
der explained to the caucus that, while
| hehwas to cast his vote for Senator Da-
| Wis, although unpledged, he did not
agree with the proposition made by
/ Senator Davis in his Anglo-Saxon al
| lance.
| During the roll call Senator Greer
| took occasion to say that during the
| senatorial election six years ago, he,
| with a score of members, did not par

| members who took this stand he was
the only one alive in political life to-
day.
