The Saint Paul globe., 1904-08-31

ing a campaigner such as will wake
the echoes of the state in the coming
campaign.
Mr.. Winston's appearance before the
convention was to give the impression
of substantial business man. firm in
the faith of Democracy and ready to
make personal sacrifices to assist the
cause of the state ticket.
The men nominated for the minor
places on the ticket presented them
selves to the convention and received
the glad hand of welcome and a boost
forward on the way to VICTORY.
1t was a remarkable convention In
actual session only about four hours
it named it's committees nominated a
full state ticket, heard speeches of
nomination, seconding speeches and
speeches of acceptance, and adjourned.
The Democratic state convention,
held in the International Auditorium,
Minneapolis, yesterday, by courtesy of
M. w. Savage, its owner, was opened by
Chairman H. L. Buck at 1870 p m. in
a ringing speech.
With no contest in prospect in the
convention the number of delegates
was surprisingly large. The entire par
quet floor of the big auditorium was
filled by the delegations and there was
a fringe in the baleonies.N There were
comparatively few spectators, as rival
attractions drew country visitors away
and Twin City business men are too
busy during the fair days to attend a
political convention.
The Ramsey county delegation which
occupied the front twenty rows of the
middle section of seats, was distin-
guished by bright red badges bearing
the inscription, For Johnson and Win
ston." They covered the white badges
given the delegates by the state CEN
trail committee. Next to them, at their
left, sat the Stearns county delega-
tion, and in the two western sections
were the st. Louis and Hennepin coun-
ty delegations. The Hennepin dele
gates were adorned with large White
badges besides those given out by
Chairman Bucks committee. The con-
vention was quiet and orderly, but uI-
der the spell of Bucks eloquence soon
after assembling was shouting and
cheering at his exposition of Demo-
cratic principles.
Paid Their Fares
Chairman Buck was received enthu-
siastically. He said:
It is good indeed to call to order a
convention to which believe every dele
gates paid his own way. 1t is a good
omen in this state, where the Democracy
has been in the minority for so many
years, to see so large gathering come
together for the purpose of placing be-
fore the people list of candidates whom
the people of this state. without respect
to party, will be proud to vote for, ano
at the same time place men in nomination
Indicating our belief in the proud prin-
ciples of Democracy laid down by the
founder of this government-Thomas
Jefferson.
l hope the time will never come wher
we will have to apologize to the people
for having to nominate. Republicans t.
carry the state for Johnson. Men who
love their state and the institutions o.
the country will name a ticket of gooC
men and men who will draw votes O
many good men irrespective OF party
1t is time the people We're offered an op
portunity to elect good men to office, anC
we propose to offer men of integrity ant
men of standing whom the people ma.
select if they want good men in the stat'
offices. If they don't want them, thei
it is their fault.
The Democratic party at large ha
nominated men upon whom all good mel
can unite: in Parker and Davis. Let Y;
keep in line and nominate men who vii
appeal to all good men, Let us no
throw out delegations regularly elected
daughter and applause.)
Let us have, a free, fair and open dis
cussion Democracy ought to be opel
and above board. and let US name tn
choice of the convention. let us mann
men who will carry out the wishes of al
classes and not in favor of any few in
terests. And then let US go home an'
organize and when the Sth of Novembe
comes 1 confidently predict more thai
one Democratic candidate will be rip
for inauguration in the new state capitol
