KANE SPOKE FOR THE TICKET.
Thomas R. Kane-dwelt principally upon
the qualifications of Peter Van Hoven
to represent the people Of this country in
the office of sheriff; He said in part:
when you want a man of business
training, when You want a man of pub
lic-spirit, when you want to find a man
who in social, political and business life,
is always and at all times a gentleman
and a man, come over to the Fifth ward
and get acquainted with Peter Van Ho-
ven, the next sheriff of Ramsey county.
No man who ever worked for him ever
complained of his rashness or harshness,
and if all the employers of labor were
like Peter Van Hoven the country would
hear less of strikes and rumors of
strikes. 1 bespeak for him, then, on the
9th day of next November not only a
triumphant victory, but a majority that
will set a record for Ramsey county,
erode ON THE WAR.
j. S. erode, in speaking of national Is
sues, told of the frightful cost of the
Philippine wars, and what may still be
to come-all this for trade that has never
amounted to much, and never will He
declared that 1t was merely a. blind to in
crease the army and expose the country
to the dangers of Imperialism and mill
tarisn, and who can tell where it may
end? He made some strong arguments
why the German voter would find it to
his own interest to support the Demo-
cratic county ticket, and dwelt upon the
fitness of Thomas Kane for the position
of county attorney. Mr. Kane, he said,
would be capable, efficient and able to
prosecute the criminals who endanger the
public welfare, which was more than can
be said Of the present county attorney
and his staff
Gov. Lind, he said, has made the best
governor the state had ever seen, and he
had always guarded the interests of the
state and the common people. These
latter remarks brought tremendou Gus an

to make the railroads make a fair return
of their property, and to Increase the tax
alton Of the city street car companies to a
fair basis. Every one is satisfied that

Feter Van HoVen made a few remarks

nominated, and that he was willing to
stand upon his record In the Fifth ward,
where he had lived for over twenty-five
years, and where he had been associated
in business with the people of the Fifth
ward. Mr.. Van Hoven made mention CT
the whole ticket, from top to bottom, and
was greeted with great applause time and
again during the course of his address.
Louis Betz, who is suffering with a bad
cold, could only address the meeting long
enough to express the wish that the
Fifth ward with its old time vote would
come to the support of the Democratic
ticket as 1t had done in the past He
asked the considera ton of the whole
county ticket and declared that if they
did as well by the other Democratic can
didates rs they would by their old neigh
DOR Peter Vane~Boven, nothing more
could be asked for. He said that the CITY
administration this spring had piled up
big majority and that all signs point

tainty as it was possible for anything to

The turnout of voters in spite of the
drizzling and disc greeable rain which
