EXPECT VICTORY FOR DON0HUE
SIXTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS

Baslng their belief On the unQues-
toned ability and the exceptional pop
ularity of their nominee and on the
fact that there is great increase in
the number of thinking, independent
voters, Sixth district democrats are
confidently prophesying victory in the
coming congressional election. Believ-
ing that the goal is within reach, dem
ocratic leaders are beginning the most
active campaign of recent years. The
committee in charge of the campaign
has issued the following statement as
its opening gun:
elm presenting to the voters Of the
Sixth congressional district, Hon. Will
liam F. Donohue Of Melrose, the DEM
ocratic congressional and general ad-
visory committee do so with pride in
their candidate and confidence in the
outcome Of the November election.
"Mr. Donohue was moved to file for
the office of congressman by an insist
ent united demand from his party and
many men of other political organiza-
tions. Recognizing his solid worth as
a citizen and his eminent fitness to
represent the people of the district, no
other democrat offered himself for the
nomination and Mr.. Donohue was Civ
en- the unanimous, enthusiastic support
of all the voters Of his party at the
primary.
"He has now set for himself the
pleasant task of meeting the voters
Of the district and declaring his atti-
tude on all public questions. That he
is meeting with cordial reception is
matter of genuine satisfaction to Mr..
Donohue and cause for congratulation
to his committee.
civilian F. Donohue combines
practically every element desired in
the making Of an ideal congressman
He has had a long and honorable pub
lie career while still in years a COM
paratively young man. He has been a
members of the Minnesota legislature,
1901; county attorney Of Stearns
county for two terms, 19O1-19O5; can
didate of his party for attorney gen
eral of Minnesota, 1912, and delegate
to the national convention Of the dem
ocratic party, 1916.
"He has long enjoyed splendid
legal practice in his own and neighbor-
ing counties and is rightfully considered
one Of the leading members of the bar
in Minnesota. In his home city his
standing is unquestioned. He has been
president of the Melrose board of edu-
cation for many years and there are
no better public schools in any country
than at Melrose. The head of a fine
family, his home life is ideal.
ellis attitude on public questions is
that Of a progressive democrat. He
stands for square deal between the
governors and the governed; he be-
lieves that representatives are sent to
congress to guard the interest of their
constituents. Donohue has no entangl-
ing corporation alliances. If elected,
he will be responsible to no one but
the plain people of the Sixth district; !;
their will and theirs alone will be his
guide in his public actions.
the high office to which he aspires is
conceded. That he will prove fitting
successor to any of the able men who
have preceded him in congress his COM
mittee believes, and, believing, invites
to his candidacy the support of the
voters Of the Sixth congressional dis
trict of Minnesota
