Fourth has a fine organization and is
determined to do it's share in the cam
paign. Resolutions were adopted in
dorsing the present city administration
and pledging fealty to the nominees.
The resolutions follow:
Having viewed with satisfaction the
successful and economical administration
of the city of st. Paul by the Democratic
administration during the past ten years,
and believing that citizens and taxpayers
of the municipality are to be felicitated
upon the able manner in which the pres

been watchful and jealous for the COM
welfare therefore ha
Resolved, That the Fourth ward DEM
ocrat1c city and county precinct commit
teemen, in regular meeting assembled, do
hereby most heartily indorse the aforesaid
administration In all Of its departments;
and 1t is further
Resolved That we pledge our I'M
credited nominees of the said Democratic
party at the coming municipal election,
with the assurance that we will, as an
organiza ton and as individuals. exert
every legitimate influence to retain in Of

fecting the organization of the commit

week ago, was continued and it was
decided to hold meetings every Mon
day night at headquarters at which
details of the campaign will be consid-
cred. The city and county organization
was represented by almost it's full
membership in spite of the weather
conditions, and the reports received
from the members representing the
various parts of the city were such as
to give great encouragement to the
general committee. The matter Of
judges and clerks of election was be-
fore the meeting, and 1t Is probable
that when the members are appointed
by the city council big meeting Of
the Democratic judges and clerks Of
election will be held, and they will be
fully instructed in their duties as to
the registration and voting Of the cleo
tors.
