tiers Addressed by Judge
Bum and T. D. O'Brlen

Democratic county headquarters
were crowded with members of the ex-
ecutive committee and visitors last
evening, and in practically all of the
speeches the keynote was in favor OF
N aking a vigorous local campaign for
John A. Johnson, the Democratic can
didate for governor, on the theory that
in this manner the Democratic county
ticket will be most benefited.
T. D. O'Brien and George L. Bum,
Democratic candidates for district
Judges. made short talks, both taking
the ground that the county organization
should pay special attention to the
state campaign, and to registration,
and particularly that the opening meet

be held on next Monday evening, Oct.

heard enough and seen enough during
the present campaign to cause me to
believe strongly that we will elect a
that there is little doubt that large
part of our county ticket will be sue
cessful. All that is necessary is Tor
the Democrats to get out the party
vote, first seeing that it is registered.
The suggestion of these two speakers

ington, o. II. O'Neill and others pre-
dicted that the Republican committee
will be sadly disappointed in the hope
that many Ramsey county Democrats
will vote for Dunn. They felt sure
that the feeling of possible friendship
for the candidate that had caused
kindly expressions early in the cam
paign had all been swept aside by
party loyalty. Mr.. Murphy said that
he felt sure that Johnson would carry
the county by from 1000 to 1000 votes.

of Democracy were Otto Rohland, Ed
