Sixth District Democratic Com
mittee Confident Of Success.

Basing 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. Be-
lieving that the goal is within reach,
Democratic leaders are beginning the
most active campaign of recent years.
The committee in charge of the cam-
paign has issued the following state
ment as it's opening gun:
I'm presenting to the voters of the
Sixth congressional district Hon. Will
lam F. Donohue of Melrose, the Demo
cratic congressional and general ad.
visory committees 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 in:
sistent united demand from his party
and many men of other political or:
CARNATIONS. Recognizing his SOLID
ness to represent the people of the
district, no other Democrat offered
himself for the nomination and Mr.
Donohue was given the unanimous.
enthusiastic support of all the voters
of his party at the primary.
GIf0 hoc hiroco1f tn q
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 a matter of genuine satisfaction to
Mr.. Donohue and cause for congratu
lation to his committees.
civilian F. Donohue combines prac.
tically every element desired in the
making of an ideal congressman. He.
has had long and honorable public
career while still in years a compare
lively young man. He has been
member of the Minnesota legislature,
1899-1901; county attorney of Stearns
county for two terms, 1901-1905; can.
didate of his party for attorney gen.
eral of Minnesota in 1912 and dele
gate to the national convention of the
Democratic party in 1916.
"He has long enjoyed a splendid
legal practice in his own and neigh.
boring counties and is rightfully con.
sidered one of the leading members of
the bar of Minnesota. In his home
city his standing is unquestioned. He
has been president of the Melrose
board of education for many years
and there are no better public schools
in any country than at Melrose The
head of fine family, his home life is
ideal ...
ellis attitude on public questions is
that of 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. Mr.. Donohue has +
no entangling 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.
civilian F. Donohue's fitness for
the high Office to which he aspires is
conceded. That he will prove a fit
ting successor to any of the able men
who have preceded him in congress
his, committee. believes, and, believ-
ing, invites to his candidacy the sup
port of the voters of the Sixth con-
gressional district of Minnesota"
