of democrats of every sect and schism
but all will be tried and true democrats

way mark the opening Of the democratic

The Jefferson club is the leading dem.
cratic club of the city and one Of the
strongest political organizations of Hen,
nepin county. The organization has
been maintained thru the year when
nothing was boiling in the political pot,
merely for the purpose Of having every.
thing in readiness as soon as the game
started again. Stock will be made Of
everything that can possibly be con.
strued as a republican mistake, even tho
occurrence dates back to the stone age
The principal speaker of the even.
ing will be oLuis F. Post Of Chicago.

The horse show, and poultry show
in New York every winter are the
crowning social events of the wintir
season. That Minneapolis may not BE
entirely behind in matters Of this kind
has been the hope Of the management
of the Minnesota State Poultry asso-
citation, which has added great attrac-
,tions each year for the past three years,
SO that the public is rapidly coming to
look upon each winters exhibition with
greater interest.
Having secured the large new Pond
block, 9l7 to 923 First avenue s, by
far the best location ever offered, the
management has secured the best line
Of attractions ever attempted by any
poultry show in American fact they
have made contracts for such a va
riety Of exhibits that it will be with
difficulty that they a place them all,
even with the large space at hand.

IS CHRISTMAS
DAY FOR TWO RACES
MINNEAPOLIS GREEKS AND RUS
SLAMS WILL CELEBRATE.
tide Period Thirteen Days Later Than
That Of Other Denominations, but
Ceremonies Will Be as Elaborate as
Those of Others.

Orthodox Greeks and Russians cele-
brate a. belated Christmas today. In
the old style calendar, followed by the
Greek Catholic church, Christmas comes
thirteen days after the date, observed
by the Roman, church and other western
denominations. ,r.g:s.s. v .
Both Greeks and Russians belong to
the Greek Catholic church, but owing
to their difference in language have,
separate places ofworship. The Greeks
are meeting in the A. O.. U. w. hall on
Seventh street s, pending the compile
ton Of their new4church, which will be
finished in time for the Easter service.
The Russians will gather at their
church at Seventeenth avenue and
Fifth street NE.
The services ats each church will con-
sist Of the celebration of the Christmas
jubilee mass, a ceremony which lasts
two hours. That of the Russians is also
commemorative of the, expulsion of
Napoleon from Moscow in 1912 and in
cludes prayers for the continued sue
cess Of Russian arms.
Russia,s disastrous campaign in the
far east and the present internal
troubles. of the empire will cast a man
tie Of gloom over today's ceremony
even more intense than that which
dampened last years service. Then the
fate of%Port Arthur was sealed, but the
one-time subjects Of the "Little Fa-
ther," still hoped for ultimate victory.
Prayers for the welfare Of the United
States and the safety of the president
will be included in the services at both
churches. ', H.. --
Aside from the religious exercises,
which are marked by imposing cere-
mony and rendered picturesque by the
rich costumes of the priests and the
fact that the congregations stand thru
the services with bowed heads, there is
little to distinguish today's celebration
from that of Dec. 25. -
The native customs Of both the
Greeks and the Russians differ very
little from those in vogue in other
countries and nearly all the people of
both races have adopted the American
way Of celebrating by giving presents
and joining in. family reunions. The
only difference between their celebra-
tions here and in the fatherland will be
that the presents exchanged will be
more numerous and valuable and the
tables better provided with good things.

Another Complication.

What will become Of the opposing
element Of the party or in fact of both
parties is another complication. If the
national republican policy is adjusted
to one of tariff reform and trust and
corporation regulation, it will draw
its adherents from both the republican
and democratic parties. What will be-
come Of the standpatters and friends
of the interests Of the two parties is
hard to say. Because they are not in
sympathy with the new republicanism
is not equivalent to saying that they
will be democratic. There must of ne
cessity be two parties as long as there

Mans Debt to the Birds.

The lovers of birds who denounce

but it by no means constitutes the
whole of the argument on behalf OF
