His excuse was that his business inter-
ests required all his attention. Now
that there is an epoch in American
affairs of vital Importance to the well
fare of the people, irrespective OF
party, Mr.. Winston as patriotic citi-
zen cheerfully responds to the call OF
duty and is willing to sacrifice his
personal interests for the common
veal. Everybody knows the honored
brother of the late lamented Phillip B.
Winston. He has resided in this city
for thirty years and has achieved
reputation for business integrity of
which any man may feel proud. He
has spent his life in building up and
maintaining various enterprises that
have helped to make Minneapolis the
pride of all it's citizens. He is the
president of Winston Brothers Com
pany, contra ctors, and is also engaged
i'll the wholesale grocery business.
He has 10 axe to grind in going to
the state legislature. He is prompted
solely by patriotic motives and is will
ling to give his services to the COM
munity in which he is highly respect
ed. Every Democrat in the 10th legis-
lative district is performing a sacred
duty when he votes for Fendall G.
Winston on the 4th of next month.

The best speech delivered in Mime
apolis during the present campaign
was made by John Lind in the Eighth
ward on Wednesday evening last. His
audience was chiefly composed of Re-
publicans, and a more convincing
speech they never heard. He spoke for
nearly two hours, and then the great
gathering was slow to dispense. Not
a word of his able address was pub
lished in the daily papers. Judging
from the size and enthusiasm of the
Democratic meetings in all parts of
the district, John Lind will be elected
by big majority.

a Republican shouter says that
''the Irish vote in Wisconsin is solid
for La Folette." Is it possible that
the Irish of the Badger State have
gone back on the party Of Jefferson,
Jackson and Bryan? We can't believe
it. Mayor Rose of Milwaukee is the
nominee of the Democratic party for
governor, and he will undoubtedly get
the great majority of the Irish vote.
The Republican candidate cannot ex-
pect the Irish vote to be "solid" for
him, no matter how popular he may be
with Celtic citizens.

The size of the Shaw meeting at the
Exposition building the other evening
is variously estimated by the Fletcher
organs. The. Times makes it $500,
the Pioneer Press 5000 and the
Tribune 1000. The reporters of the
verac ious organs should have agreed
on the number before their copy went
to press. The Times is nearer to the
mark than it's lying contemporaries.
The truth is that there were not more
than 1000 present and goodly por-
ton of these was made up of office
holders. otfice-seekers and their ap-
plauding henchmen.

GIRL IN OPIUM DEN,
The Magistrate Shocked al
the Story of Depravity
Told by Victim.

NEW YORK. November 13.-(Special)-
Even old habitues of the Centre-Street
Police Court were astonished to-day when
pretty 17-year-old Sadie Halliday. who
has been living in an opium den with a
Chinaman named Grin Sing for two weeks,
was brought before Magistrate Cornell.
Dressed in black velvet hat, green
silk waist, and corduroy skirt she
looked at the Judge and pleaded guilty.
The magistrate stood up and leaned
over his desk as he said: This is one
of the most terrible tragedies of New
York life. Here Is q girl only II years
of age not old enough to be trusted alone,
who. has sunk to the depths of infamy and
sorrow.
Il am going to give you chance to re-
FORM. he added, looking at the girl Il
will commit you to the care of an esti-
mabie young lady who is employed by
the probation office She will see that
you have an opportunity to lead a new
life How did you come to fall so Iow?''
Sadie related how she had gone to CO.
ney Island with two girl friends. On the
way home they coaxed her to walk
through China town and see the wonderful
sights of the place. While there she met
Grin Sing who took fancy 10 her and
asked her to visit his home She did So
and finally became SO infatuated with the
life and opium smoking that she forgot
about the outside world.
Her relatives. who live on east Ore
Hundred and Thirty-Sixth street. have
disowned hcr. She was rescued by De-
tective-Sergean Busby and Burns on the
complaint OF some people who had seen
her IN the Chinese house at No. Is Peli
street. They found her reclining upon
hoard stretched across two chairs, uncon-
scious from the effects OF opium.
