day to DISCUSS Plans
The candidates for county offices norni-
mated at the Democratic convention last
week will meet today at the headquarters
OF the city and county organization In
the Pioneer Press building to consider
ways and means for pushing the battle
in the county and legislative campaigns
from now until Nov. g.
This will be the first general meeting
Of the nominees, and for that reason
full attendance is requested.
The Democrats of the Eighth ward will
meet Friday night at Jessrangs hall, Url
versity and harrington avenues. The
weekly meetings are to be held from now
until the close of the campaign. The
ward is making an aggressive fight for
the election of the legislative candidates,
George F. Umland and William Butler,
both of whom are substantial citizens OF
the ward, and for James S. Rockford
who, while he lives in the Ninth ward
has extensive property interests and a
wide acquaintance In the Eighth ward
and Is running in the district north of
the tracks, which comprises parts Of both
wards. A splendid plurality for the
Democratic county ticket is promised in
the Eighth.
"A most important meeting of the JEFF
ferson club will be held this evening ut
s o'clock sharp In room 1904, New York
Life building.
Philip Martin, the Democratic nominee
for the legislature In the Fifth ward, ca--
ried his own ward last spring, when he
ran for the assembly, by plurality of
300, and there Is no doubt in the minds
of his friends that he will defeat his OPP
ponent, the present incumbent, by that
or a larger figure. The Republican nom
tnee's record in the house, while inof-
fens1ve, perhaps, was not of such bril-
nancy as to inspire the voters of the Fifth
ward with intense admiration, and the
young men of the ward, without regard
to party affiliations. are generally espous-
Ing the canvass Of Mr. Martin, who is an
eloquent campaigner and personally very
popular.
James r. Hickey, the young attorney
who was nominated to succeed Chief
O,Connor, as the representative of tle
Fourth ward in the state legislature, has
been an aggressive worker in the ranks
of the local Democracy for several years,
| and he is pushing a vigorous campaign.
While it would hardly be reasonable for
him to expect to equal the run of the
veteran campaigner who proceeded him
and who carried every precinct in the
ward without exception, there is not the
slightest doubt of Mr.. Hickeys election
by good majority. He was born in
Minnesota, graduated at its university
in 1894, and has practiced law successfully
since his graduation
-
]. o. Cederberg is making a close can
vass Of the First and Second wards, and
the cordial support which his candidacy
is receiving among the residents, who
know HIM well, gives promise of success
In district which has been Republican
in its inclinations.
Among the young men at the state uni
versity who are lending valuable service
to the state and Hennepin county cam
paign committees is Thomas D. Schall
Mr.. Schalf was one of those who spoke
at the overflow meeting outside the ex-
position Monday night, while the crowd
was waiting Off Mr.. Bryan, and his ad-
dress was received with much enthusi-
asm. He is an orator Of promise.
The Democratic precinct chairn,en Of
the Seventh ward. will meet this after
noon between and 1 clock in the office
Of L. r. Frankel, in the German-Ameri-
can bank building. Ward organization
will be completed and a ward chairman
elected.
When President P. A. Deslauriers call
ed the meeting of the Franco-American
Registration club to order last night in
the French hall, near the corner Of Tenth
and Minnesota streets, there were about
100 members present, all interested in the
coming election.
The club was organized couple of
weeks ago, when a committee was ap.
pointed to draw up a constitution and
bylaws to be submitted to the next
meeting. This constitution was adopted
and then it was in order to discuss plans
for the present campaign. AZ the name
of the club implies, the main object is
to see that all French people and French
Canadians turn out on registration day
and election day. Hitherto the French
people of this county have not had an
organization that amounted to anything
and 1t is their object now to make them
selves recognized as a factor In county
politics. They think there will be no
trouble in this because the club can now
boast membership of almost 200 mem
bers, about evenly divided amongst Dem
