PREPARE FOR CAMPAIGN.
Democrats VIII Work Together for
Election of Entire Ticket.

A systematic, aggressive campaign for
the election of every candidate on the
Democratic ticket is the slogan of the
Democratic city and county organiza-
tons.
The organization goes into the field
behind one Of the strongest tickets ever
nominated in Ramsey county and it
goes in to elect that ticket from top to
bottom. There are no sacrificial candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket, and the
committee has taken stand which
will effectually silence the Republican
claims of individual sacrifice for the
benefit of favored candidates.
The executive committee of the city
and county organization met last night
at the organization headquarters in the
Arrol building to complete preliminary
work for a general meeting of the can
didates and the executive committee
Manday evening. The Republican ef-
forts to SOW .dissension in the ranks
of Democracy by raising the questions
of nationality and favored candidates
was condemned in the heartiest tones,
and every member of the committee
went on record pledged to give his best
efforts for the election of every man on
the ticket.
The attempt Of the Republicans to
show by an alleged interview with
Mayor Smith that the city administra-
ton is hostile to the interests Of any
candidate was roundly denounced
Mayor Smith has denounced the state
ments purporting to have been made
by him as pure fabrication, and the
Democrats of st. Paul and Ramsey
county will put their shoulders to the
wheel and to a man do their best for
all the nominees. Monday night The
candidates will lay their plans of cam
paign before the executive committee
and complete plan of cooperation
for the benefit of all concerned will be
agreed upon. Patrick Conley was
unanimously elected treasurer of the
organization, to succeed r. T. O'Con-
nor. The resignation of Mr.. O'Connor
was an unWelcome surprise to the
members of the executive committee.
1t was occasioned by the i'll health of
Mr.. O'Connor, which, with the de-
mands made on his time by his per-.
sonal business, compelled him to ask
that he be relieved Of the heavy work
of his office which the campaign will
entail. Mr.. O'Connor in no way sewers
his connection with the committee, but
is relieved of some of the burden of
campaign work which he has borne so
admirably. The resignation was &c
cepted with regrets, and committee
appointed to draft resolutions setting
forth the Organizations appreciation Of
Mr.. O'Connor's services.
Joseph McAuley, Of the Eighth ward,
was unanimously elected a member of
the senatorial committee, and the con-
Stitution was changed to permit the
two county commissioners districts to
perfect Independent organizations. I'm
der the present system 1T has been
difficult for the chairman to hold salts
factory meetings on account Of the
large territory represented by the COM
mittee.
The local committee will also take an
important part in the state campaign,
and last night appointed j. G.. Coving-
ton, F. A. Pike, j. A. Meyer Joseph
McAu1ey and George Mitsch a commit
tee on cooperation. The committee
will confer with the state leaders and
complete plans for the benefit of both
state and local tickets through mutual
effort
