John "A. Johnson, Democratic candi-
date for governor. and B. G. Winston,
candidate for lieutenant governor,
were present last night at the dediea-
tien of the Seventh Ward Democratic
hail. the first of its kind erected in

Messrs. Johnson and winston re-
fused to make speeches. They an
nouneed their formal discussion of

fairs in Minnesota.

ceived with great enthusiasm.
Mr. Johnson asserted he believed the
time had arrived for the Democrats to
elect state ticket and he was conf
dent that they would; do so this year.
The people had lost confidence in
the Republican party, said the candi-
date for governor, and while it might
be possible that success might not
crown the efforts of the Democrats in
every instance, he was fconfident the
fight would go on until the state of
Minnesota had respectable admins

He referred to Mr.. Winston in glow
ing terms and said that hei had put
aside the proffer of the tHennepin
county Democrats to support him for
governor and had asked to run in sec
ond rather than in first place.
Mr.. Winston was caustic in his
comments upon a certain candidate
for governor on the Republican. ticket
who had purchased his nomination and
thought the election was purnhasable.
He declared the time had come for a
decent administration of the affairs Of
the state. iisisiss

last night, and its mouth has been en-
croached upon by men building on ian6
abutting on the river until the original
stream has been reduced in width fully
one-haif. The result is that in times
of flood the water is backed up, and
only a few. months ago great damage
was done. The business interests there
want congress to open the rivers
mouth by digging "a channel deep
enough and wide enough to carry off
the water
Congressman Bede was much i'm
pressed by the growth and business de-

undoubtedly congress would take some
