the party a candidate who, if nomi-
mated, can carry more states than any
other living Democrat, and who would
be practically certain of election. Re.
belling against the doctrine of despair,
we take it for granted that there is
no necessity for the ravens of defeat
to perch on the banners of Democ-
raey in 1908, simply because they did
in 1896, 1900 and 1904.
Conditions industrially, financially
and politically are such that we have
this year the opportunity of a genera
ton to win the presidency.
If you and the other Democratic
leaders of the country will but re-
spond to the invitation and the oppor-
tunity extended to you by the Demo
Gratis of Minnesota, we can escape
from the blighting tradition of defeat,
and rehabilitate the party and the M
ton by a great political victory next
November.
There is still ample time to see
that enough delegates are elected to
the Denver convention to make that a
6eliberative Democratic body thai Will
give the party new hope and new inspi-
ration and a winning candidate. To
this end, we solicit your cooperation
and will heartily welcome and con-
slider any suggestions you may offer.

GALL FOR JOHNSON
ILLOGICAL STANDARD BEARER OF
THE DEMOCRACY.
APPEALS TO THE VOTERS.
In His Name and with the Great
Cause Victory Is Assured to
! the Party of the People
Why Court Defeat?

| Friends of Governor John A. John
son of Minnesota have issued letter
and pamphlet that together consti-
tute an address to the Democrats Of
the country. Both make strong ap.
peal to Democrats everywhere to ex-
,ert themselves to see that the Denver
convention shall be deliberate body
that will look the field over and
choose a candidate who, while repre-
at the polls.
The letter, which is signed by Fred
erick B. Lynch, treasurer of the Min
nesota Democratic State Central Com
mittee. who has opened Offices in the
Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, is as fol-
lows:
: Dear Sir: You are a Democrat, and
it is because you are Democrat that
this is addressed to you, with the feel
ing that you will exert yourself to give
the party one of the greatest esGen-
itials to victory, strong and accept
able candidate for the presidency.
{, The Democracy of the nation have
for IL years been losing ground and
the belief is general that under the
old conditions defeat is certain. For
months the party has been drifting
toward an autocratic convention.
where popular choice is to be subor-
,dinate to personal will.
: Minnesota Democrats, feeling that
party duty transcends individual in
'terest, have had the courage to
break away from the drift and offer

MAN THE NATION REQUIRES.
John A. Johnson the Ideal Occupant
of the Presidential Chair.

AS president, Gov. Johnson would
have the qualities that might described
as logically and historically needful
at this time. representing both in
thought and by concrete achievement
all of the progressive reforms to which
the American people are now thorough
ly committed. His personality and
his methods are such that, coming into
office after the strenuous and even
terrifying political and financial ex-
periences Of recent years, he would be
gained, restore an era of good feeling
and smoothly and comfortably prepare
the way for such additional advanced
legislation as the times require In
word, Gov. johnson, is precisely the
kind of leader the nation requires at
this time, ready for new legislation to
meet new needs, but careful and con-
sentative in his methods. The same
confidence-inspiring, vote-getting at
tributes that have made Gov. John
son so popular in Minnesota that there
is absolutely no question that he
could carry the state as the Demo
cratic presidential nominee will make
him equally popular with the voters
of the nation, once they have an op-
portunity to become acquainted with
the man.
Every political campaign has its in
dividual conditions. 1t is found in this
contest that Gov. Johnson possesses
strength peculiar to him alone and
by which he is certain to bring to the
Democratic party upwards of million
votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi-
ton insures beyond a reasonable
doubt victory for Democracy and Gov.
Johnson in the following states: Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado, Montana, Washing
ton and Michigan.

Let Us TrX to Win.

In view of the foregoing. is it not
the duty of every loyal Democrat de-
string his party's success. if it can be
had without the sacrifice of principle,
to take judicious and comprehensive
thought Of the situation and exert
himself to see that the delegates to
the national convention at Denver,
July Z, shall go there unfettered by the
dead hand of the rast and prepared to
consider calmly the political outlook
and the chances of Democratic sue
cess, end then with cool and careful
judgment select nominee who can
win?
This is a Democratic year, if the
Democrats of the nation will but make
it so.
Why postpone all hope of success
and the beginning of the restoration
of Democratic control for another four
years?

Did Away with Passes,

In one of his messages, Gov. John
son said: IF the public officers are
not adequately COMPENSATED nov for
their services, fix the compensation to
such an extent as to make it reason
able compensation and do away with
the possibility of any o-.cer becoming
a beneficiary of the favor of corpora
lions, and by reason of gratuities be-
ing placed under some obligation to
the corporation which extends the
courtesy. And urge most
earnestly the early enactment of law
which will forever abolish the system
in Minnesota" And it IVES done.
