list because they wanted a real demo-
orat for national committeeman and
a Bryan man on the resolutions com.
mitree. There is no better, truer
democrat and citizen in Minnesota
than T. T. Hudson, and he does not
belong to any politisal dynasty. Of
course st. Paul has been 90 accu,s-
toned to running things for years,
and having country democrats exc
cute her will, that 1t was something
of q shock to find that things had
changed.
Let us see who these men are who
are to be thrown out Of the party by
self constituted censors. Begin with
DR.. Mayo, the venerable surgeon Of
Rochester, with national reputation
in his profession. There Is no citizen
of southern Minnesota more strongly
admired and respected than this old
man, who in spite Of his IS years,
took as much interest in the st. Louis
convention as the youngest man there.
he ia what some call a radical demo-
crat and has been known to tell the
''leaders' to their face what he
thought of their actions. 1t would
be dangerous in his city for anyone
to question the Integrity, the manli-
ness and the democracy of DIR. Mayo.
There's H. L. Buck of Winona, an
able, honored and upright citizen,
the worthy son of a worthy sire. The
suggestion that Mr.. Buck is to be
fred from the democratic ranks
because he Ia independent in thought
and action, and does not bow the kneel
to anyone, would be amusing if it
were not so extremely silly.
How about Evans of Tracy, a bust
ness man Of the highest standing, but
whose success has made him but more
determined to improve the conditions
of the unfortunate. A clear and logi-
cal thinker, who has sacrificed time
and money for the party; man
whose personal character is above
suspicion-the suggestion that he
should be black-listed will evoke
contemptuous laughter.
T. F. O'Hair, who has grown gray
in the ranks Of democracy, leading
forlorn hope many time. Tell
O'Hsir that he's b-a.a.d man and
democrat because he has certain
opinions about men and things and
doesn't hide them. and how this able
Irishnan who possesses all the real
Writes of his race, would laugh. He
would probably say that to those who
knew him he would refer the censure.
And how safe he would be then. and
how puerile the efforts of anyone to
discre1it himl
D'Autremont of Duluth. Who but
someone reckless and uninformed
would have the hardihood to aseail the
fiery ex mayor, or try to teach him
what true democracy means2 The re-
cord of many long and bitter strug-
gle in defense of democracy, of earneet
conviction and moral bravery, belongs
to D'Autremont, and 70 cheap sneer
can take it away.
Mealey of Monticello. It takes
abundant nerve to try to throw q
shadow on "Tip'. His record as q
business man and citizen is such as
any man would envy. Hes learned
some things In politics which he
didn' like. for instance, the attempt
by certain persons who pose az high
ly moral, to tamper with instructed
delegations. Such occurrences disgust
a man of Mealey's fiber, but have no
effect on his staunch, sturdy type Of
democracy, and he will keep on being
progressive democrat without asking
the aid or consent of anybody.
|. Nye of Moorhead. Attacked the
most bitterly of all. A man who did
not mortgage his soul when he &C.
copied an Office from q democratic
governor for whose elec:ien he strong
~ labored. From the first sympa-
thizer with Bryan, and determined to
help the great Nebraskan whenever
he could. Put principle above person
al feeling and earned the respect of
those that know him the best, even
though he now bears the attacz of the
timeservers and the. political lick
spittles.
