est nominations. We do not want the
Republicans of the state to be defeat
ed in their own house"
Then he touched upon the unseating
of the Hennepin delegation at the Re-
| publican state convention at ST. Paul.
He paid high tribute to the char
acter Of Judge Collins and said that he
was the nominee of the Republican
party and the chicanery Of last June
would be resented.
Mr.. Winston asserted he had no de-
sire to enter political life, but he had
been commanded by the party to as
sumo the obligations he has assumed
and he asked the support of the people
In order to rebuke the methods followed
by the last Republican convention
Then he took up the laws relative to
public lands. He declared no state Of
f1clal had right to place himself above
the law. 1t was his duty, he said, for
the officer to follow the law and not to
construe 1t. Never before had he wit
! messed such interest in. the state cam
paign.
| Mr.. Winston declared he was making
a campaign on moral grounds and be-
| lleyed that the time had come when
no coterie of political tricksters con-
troiled by a special interest should
thWart the expressed will of a majority
of political party His reception was
a happy one, and when he spoke of the
nigh cal1ber of his colleagues on the
state ticket he was cheered to the echo.
5,;s LAWYER Is Sarcastic
Enthusiastic applause greeted the APP
| pearance of D. w. Lawler, who has led
me democratic party in past years.
He said that Mr.. Lind had struck the
keynote of the campaign. He declared
that the programme of the Republican
managers was intended to palsy the in
terest of the people.
Mr.. Lawler said that in st. Paul half
dozen United States senators, i'm
ported for the occasion, spoke for the
purpose of proving that because the
republicans of the country believe
| In protection the candidates for state
officers should be elected in order to
keep the plurality above 81, 000
The Democrats, he said, had not
chosen their candidates from the ranks
| of professional politicians or from men
who had held state offices at meager
salaries and had amassed colossal for
| tunes.
| Mr.. LAWYER declared the Democratic
Representatives had no telephone COM
munication with the head of a great
railroad company, nor did the general
counsel of a great corporation direct
1 the campaign.
The Democratic candidate for gov
| editor, did not need any blank certif1-
cate of character. There was mo moss
| upon his back, nor any welts where
the political harness has worm
There would be no mortgage on Mr..
Johnson's manhood or manacles upon
| his hands. He was man in every
/ sense of the word.
| F. G. Winston, said Mr.. LawIer,
needed no tribute from the platform,
and he closed his peroration with an
| eloquent period in which he eulogized
the memory of the late p. B. Winston.
Mr.. Lawler insisted that the Demo-
Gratis did not resort to underhand work
but proposed to make clean cam
| paign.
"The candidates of the Democratic
| party have blameIess records, he de-
/ clared but the charges against the
| Republican candidate for governor are
preferred by a Republican public ex-
aminer at the command of Repub-
lican governor.
Mr. LAWYER thanked the Democrats
| for their support of Judge c.. e. OTIS
| of st. Paul, candidate for the supreme
| court, and Thomas J. McDermott, also
of st. Paul. candidate for attorney gen.
eral.
Elect Mr.. McDermott attorney gem
eral," exclaimed Mr.. Lawler. ~and the
men who have been footing the treas
ufy OF the STATE OIL minnesota Will get
their just deserts just as surely as Jo-
seph w. Folk has pursued the st.
Louis boodlers to prison"
He evoked the greatest enthusiasm
when he predicted the election of Par
ker and Davis
c. D. o'Brien Advises Voters
| c. ID. O'Brien, Of st. Paul asserted
that it was the duty of an elector to
| cast his vote for candidate for public
Office with the same care he would
exercise in the employment of a serv-
ant.
Mr.. O'Brien admitted that Demo-
crat did not possess all the morals and
virtues, but he believed he lost all
when he joined the Republican party.
Some Minneapolitans had done so and
1 had been indicted.
He punctured his talk with grim hui
NOR and among other things, said he
/ did not expect the misguided men who
voted the Republican ticket would have
to vote the asbestos ticket in the next
world.
Mr. O'Brien was satirical in his anal
ysis of Senator Nelson's speech in eu-
logy of Robert G. Dunn, when the dis
tinguished senator compared the Re-
publican candidate for governor with
Andrew Johnson because Of his UNI
couth language.
