allowed but twenty Judges, while they
wanted one out of three in every pre-
cinct. The attorney for their faction
declares that the law has been violated.
and that Monday at the latest. he will
commence mandamus proceedings In the
district court to invalidate the list of
judges which have been selected by the
council.
Immediately upon the fling of the com
plaint papers will be served on the
members and officers Of the council to
appear In court to show cause why the
Peoples party should not be as fully
represented on the list. In case the list
is declared invalid the council will have
to reconvene and make out another list.

The Democratic precinct committee of
the First ward will hold an organization
meeting on Monday evening at the ward
headquarters, Decatur and Bedford
streets. At the meeting s. ward chairman
will be elected.
One especial reason for the Democra tic
voters In st. Paul, as elsewhere,
TO support the party nominees for the
legislature is that the coming session of
the state legislature will be called upon
to reapportion the state under the show
ing made by the United States census,
now nearing completion. The gerry
manGer of 1881 was bad enough when it
was made, and, with the growth of the
northern part of the state, it is even more
unfair than ever. The fact that the Re-
pubIicans have large majority in the
senate which holds over this term,
makes it more than ordinarily essential
that Democrats should be returned to
the lower house wherever poss be The
legislative ticket nominated at the pres
ent convention is highly credtable to the
party and deserves enthusiastic support
