The Democracy of Minnesota pre-
sents a state ticket the peer Of any
state ticket ever made up in Mime
sofa or in any other state. In several
particulars the Democratic state ticket
is remarkable. Every man on it was
nominated seemingly with an eye sin
gle to his fitness for the position he
is named for. That might not be so
remarkable had the selections been left
entirely in the hands of one man or
small party of men familiar with the
qualifications of the prominent men
of the party.
There was no slate. The peculiar
circumstances surrounding the hopes
of the rank and file of the party in
the selection of a ticket successfully
set at naught anything like slate max
ing, even were Democrats disposed to
submit to anything of that kind, which
they most emphatically are not. The
ticket was made up in the convention,
a convention which represented the
Democracy of Minnesota and which
was entirely free from any exhibition
of factionalism or sectionalism.
There had been no Democratic peace
councils in Minnesota to completely
sever the relations of the party ele-
ments in different sections of the state.
There had been no Ratchet funerals
widely advertised. The Democracy of
Minnesota came into the state con-
vention united party ready to take up
the party banners and march to VIC
tory.
Only a dozen hours before the con-
vention was called to order, was it
fully realized that former Gov. Lind
Ar NO oir OF
his name to again head the ticket.
Hundreds of the delegates who did not
arrive until the morning of the con-
vention day did not fully realize it I'M
til they were in the convention hall.
There was then no exhibition of the
dismay on which the Republicans had
confidently banked. Instead there
came the stirring speech made by c.
D. O'Brien, who said: 1--WE regret the
retirement of Gov. Lind. He is a
great leader, but the Democracy is
greater than any man. The commits
stoned officers may resign. We, the
rank and file, must serve for the war.
Let us to work.
Only One Choice.
The st. Paul orator had only voiced
the sentiments of the Democracy of
the state. After Mr.. Lind there was
but but one choice for governor. That
the man who had led the party through
three campaigns and who so long as
there was a ray of hope insisted that
Mr.. Lind should be nominated, Leon

the close Of his first term he was re-
elected by an increased majority. In
1897 he became associated with Lieut.
hold Bros. in the clothing business,
from which he retired Jan. 1, 1902.
Mr.. Lieck was appointed to the state
board of equalization by Gov. Lind,
and there he made the record by which
he is best known to the people of the
state. He was chairman of the sub
committee on street railways, and it is
due to his sterling honesty and cease
less effort that the immense increase
In street car valuation was secured
and large saving to the interests Of
the farmers and individual taxpayers
effected.
Record Is SpotIess.
The evidence in support Of the char
acter and ability of Spurgeon Odell,
the Democratic nominee for secretary
OF state, covers a period of forty-tWo
years, and all of this evidence is in
possession of the people of Minnesota
He was born at Oronoco, Olmsted
county, in 1860, and Minnesota has al
ways been his home. Minnesota peo-
pie and Minnesota schools have given
him that education and experience
which have made him one of the most
prominent influential and useful citi-
zens of this state. His honesty, fidel-
1ty and sincerity have never been
questioned by anyone.
His past is an open book, to which
he and the people of the state may turn
with pride. Those pages disclose the
result of energy, guided by honesty OF
purpose and a love for home and all
humanity. His acknowledged ability,
his strict integrity in every act of life,
and his obliging and courteous dispo-
sition have earned for him the conf
dence and support of thousands of
friends.
Mr. Odell's parents settled at Orono-
CO, Olmsted county, in 1854. His father
improved the water power at that
place and built a Touring mill, which
for many years was the largest in the
state In 1870 they removed to a farm
in Faribault county, near Wells.
Young Odell attended the district
schools, and graduated from the Wells
high school in 1878. After finishing
his collegiate course in Michigan, he
settled at Granite Falls, in 1885, and
took up educational work as a teacher
in the public schools. Later he accept
ed situation with the Northwestern
elevator company, and held that posi-
ton until the fall of 1894, when he
was nominated and elected to the of
flee of clerk of the district court Of
Lyon county by the Populist party.
He has held the office of clerk of
the district court since January, 1895,
but has refused a denomination on the
ground that two consecutive terms is as
long as any man should hold county
Office. No better evidence of his pop
ularity is needed than the fact that he
has been twice elected to Office against
a Republican in Lyon county, one of
the strongholds of the Republican
party.
Mr.. Odell is democratic in all things
He believes as Jefferson and Lincoln
believed, and as the Democratic party
believes. He is one of the best inform

ing everything that an earnest young
student could get hold of.
He stayed on the farm until he was
twenty years old, when he went to
Cannon Falls to engage in business as
a clerk. He rose rapidly and soon
branched out as q merchant in the
business which he still conducts. His
political career covers only little more
than a decade. He left the Repub-
lican party when it turned it's back on
tariff reform and became an ardent
supporter of o. M. Hall, who was elect
ed to congress. His brilliant tariff
speeches attracted the attention of the
party leaders, and in 1896 he was called
to the craftsmanship of the Democratic
state central committee. The work of
organization which he undertook and
successfully accomplished will live in
the political annals of the country. Af-
ter the election of Gov. Lind and Ros-
ing'S two years service as private sec
rotary to the governor, he retired to
private life and again took up the role
of the simple country merchant, until
to again carry its banner to victory,
this time as the head of the ticket.
A Life of Public Service.
The nomination of Mayor Robert A.
Smith for lieutenant governor reflects
honor both on the convention, the po-
litical sense of the Democratic party
and the city of st. Paul, which has de-
lighted in keeping Mr.. Smith in places
of public trust for a period of fifty
years. A more surprising career of
popularity and public favor than that
of Robert A. Smith does not grace the
pages of the country's political his
tory. In fact, probably no American
has enjoyed the public esteem for so
f1a -
ton in Office of trust and honor, rather
than substantial emolument
Mayor Smith is truly the grand old
man of the Minnesota Democracy. He
is Seventy-five years old and his life is
without a blemish. He began his pub
lie career almost before he was out of
school, and in the fifty-five years of
public service which he has given to
the detriment of his private interests,
the finger of scorn has never pointed at
a single act or his integrity attacked. 4
Mr.. Smith is a native of Indiana.
He graduated from the law department
of the University Of Indiana at the age
of twenty, and was at once elected
auditor of Warneck county, where he
served four years before striking out
for the West. He arrived in st. Paul
May 1, 1858, with no capital, but his
sheepskin and a determination to sue
coed.
Enters on Unprecedented Career.
Shortly after his arrival in Mime
sofa he was made secretary to Terri
torial Governor German, and acted as
territorial librarian until 1856, when he
was elected treasurer of Ramsey coun-
ty. He served as treasurer for twelve
successive years, or up to 1858, when
he was elected to the common council
as an alderman. In turn he was elected
president of the council and served in
that capacity for three years. From
the council the citizens of st. Paul

ed and most liberal men in the state.
He believes it to be the duty of every
citizen of the state and nation thor
oughly to study and investigate all
sides of each and every political issue
and then cast his vote on the side
which his conscience and best judg-
ment says is for the best interest of all
the people.
Good Soldier, Good Citizen.
Joseph L. Meyer, the Democratic
nominee for state treasurer, is of that
type of German American citizens
who have done so much to build UP not
alone the Northwest, but every sec
ton Of the United States in which they
have settled.
He is a good citizen, a good official
and has been a good soldier. In Little
Falls and Morrison county, where he
has lived since 1887, every man is his
friend. He is a leader in every civic
movement and during his entire resi-
dence he has been prime factor in the
many public enterprises that have

transferred him to the legislature, first
as representative, and after two
years as senator after he had been
elected mayor.
He has occupied the mayors chair
five terms, and is now beginning his
sixth term, after election by one of the
largest majoritieS ever given a Demo-
crat in st. Paul. IL 1896 Mr.. Smith
declined to accept the party nominal
ton for mayor, and attempted to leave
the field of politics. Within a few
months, however, he. was appointed
postmaster by President Cleveland,
and four years later, at the solicitation
of citizens, not alone Of the Democratic
faith, again accepted nomination for
mayor and was triumphantly elected.
Mr. Smith is poor man. His un-
bounded generosity and his public spir-
it have made him So. The fact that
he has not even a home is a fitting
commentary on the rewards of a half
century in the public service. He was
at one time aff1uent. A banking insti-
tuition with which he was connected as
a stakeholder went down in the panic.
That no one might suffer so far as he
was able to prevent it, he gave UP not
only all his uneXempt property, but
even his home, and started again, an
old man, without dollar.
Afr he had given up everything he
learned that some of the funds of the
widows and orphans fund of the Odd
Fellows Protective branch were swal-
lowed up in the failure of the defunct
bank. The grand old man Still had his
credit intact. On his personal note he
borrowed the amount of the society's
loss and went to work to redeem the
pledge.
Rose Above circumstances.
The Democracy did we'll when it
nominated for auditor Albert G. Lieck.
of Owatonna. With Mr.. Lieck as it's
candidate, the Democracy appeals di-
rectly to the moral sense of the peo-
pie of Minnesota. His record as a
member of the state board of equaliza-
ton proved his worth to the entire sat
isfaetion of the taxpayers and to every
believer in good government who has
taken the trouble to investigate the
work of the board during 1900 and 1901.
Mr.. Lieck is only thfrty-eight years
old. He is of German extraction, born
at Princeton, Wis, in 1854. While he
was yet a child his parents came to
Minnesota, settling in Waseca county
His parents. were poor. He was obliged
to help in the battle for life. His edu-
cational advantages were confined to
the few terms instruction Of the dis
trict schools. AS asboy he was a tire
less worker, and his energies and clean
morals soon attracted attention The
late John Shea, then a power, became
interested in the boy, and placed him
in a clerkship in a clothing house in
Owatonna. His attention to detail and
his unfailing good nature made friends
and his rise was rapid.
In 1882 he was urged to accept the
Democratic nomination for county au-.
ditor and elected by a handsome vote

san that the banner of Democracy no
longer stands as an emblem of fruit
less battles waged against an over
whelming foe, but as the banner of
the people carried to glorious victory.
There were no set speeches or long
drawn harrangues. Mr.. Rosing had
proved as chief of staff his title to
the baton of the chieftain. His name
was caught up with cheer. Other
candidates, whose personal friends
and immediate constituency had pre-
scented their names on the spur of the
moment were withdrawn, Mr.. Rosing
was nominated by reclamation.
Almost exactly the same conditions
surrounded the nomination of every
candidate on the ticket. Other names
were presented, but in every instance
when the right mans name was offer
ed, it was taken up with a cheer and
his nomination made by reclamation.
The big convention, probably the finest
body of representative men ever as
sembled in a Minnesota political con-
vention seemed to divine almost in
tuitively the qualifications of the men
whose names were presented. The Sc
lections are not only compliments to
the sagacity and integrity of the Dem
ocratic party, but the ticket as a,
whole, is complimentary to the man
hood and political integrity of the
state.
The lives and records of the candi-
dates speak for themselves more elo-
quently than any biographer can re-
produce them. Every man on the ticket
stands first for the principles of true
TOa i'll 1iaI,
