Seeking Republican Votes.

M. T. Buck eulogized the democracy
of Thomas Jefferson. Il hope Jeffer-
sonian democracy will ever hold
true" he. said, "and the time will
have to be put on the ticket to bring
democracy to greater success.
Let us elect good democrats; good
men for office and people, and If the
people decide they don't want them,
it's their fault and not ours. Let
us place in nomination a ticket that
will appeal to good democracy and all
people of the state. Let us not throw
out any delegations entitled to seats
here. So today let US make choice
Of men able to carry out the business
of their offices honestly, and in the
interests of all the people, and no one
faction
John E. Stryker was first recognized
by the chair and in a brief eulogistic
address, nominated Captain w. II.
Harries of Caledonia for permanent
chairman. There were no other nonli-
nations and Captain Harries was
nominated by reclamation. Mr..
Strylker, j. r. Corrigan of Minneapo-
lis and T. T. Hudson of Duluth acted
as a committee to escort Captain Har-
ries to the chair. Captain Harries was
received with much applause as he
stepped on the stage.
''CnanCe LOT unique Fight.
Gentlemen of the convention, I
thank you heartily for this honor"
said Captain Harries. 1--WE are as
Sembled today not only to nominate
ticket all democrats will support, but
which all honest, self-respecting re-
publicans will support also, I trust
your deliberations will be such as to
select a man who is first and foremost.
a gentleman, who would preside with
dignity and fidelity to command the
respect of all citizens.
Gentlemen, it is your opportunity
to make a unique fight In this CAM
pafgn. We are united in Minnesota.
Democrats of the entire nation are
united in supporting true democracy.
And the administration should be so
conducted that every man should re-
ceive that equal construction of the
law which should exist under all re-
publican forms of government. We
believe that the republican party in it's
long lease of life, has done things
which are not right and has engrafted
evils upon the state which should be
done away with. In the democratic
party we have a splendid galaxy of
men, and the time to put them for
ward is here now.
Whether our state ticket is demo-
cratic from top to bottom or whether
we take the judiciary out Of politics,
is for you to decide. 1t Is the repub-
lican party which has injected parti-
zanship into the Minnesota judiciary"
Captain Harris then delivered
roast on the republican party's treat
ment Of the people in the Philippines,
asserting that democracy, If in power.
would never so mistreat or hold in
subordination any race of people.
