pesred before your committee aud were allowed II
extended ne earipg. After fnll consideration thu
/ facts presented your committee agreed to rrcom
mend that both contesting delegses be admitted
| with hslf vo to each del gate.
Your coa mittee voted 70 recommend that In case
of vacancies existing Shen individual substitution
wa not au horized, the delegation be allowed tc
| cast the entire vo,e Of the county.
Mr.. soren Listoe, of Otter Tail, requested
| that the delegation headed by Mr.. Stevenson
| be admitted, as it had been elected regularly,
and only Republicans were present.
Mr.. Rice, of Kandiyohi, moved that the re-
| port of the committee be adOrted with the
exception of that part of it relating to the
Polk county contest.
MIR. Jennison, of Goodhue, asked the chair
man of the committee to make statement of
the facts of the contest.
Mr. Driscoll said representatives of both
delegations had been accorded full hearing,
though up to the time of the meeting he had
known nothing about any contest in this
county. He had heard that the regular dele
gates had been elected by a convention com
posed of twenty Republicans, while the bolt
ing delegates were chosen on the following
day by a secret caucus composed of some fifty.
He had learned that the former were not sup
ported by majority of the Republicans Of
the county The committee, while not desir-
ing to encourage boiling, had decided, after
ity and one half 10 the popular vote.
Mr.. Cults, of Wright, moved 10 adopt the
report of the committee.
Mr.. McCrea, of Clay, hoped this would not
be DONE. He had had considerable experi-
ence in the contests in that county. 1t had
been going on for years, and unless it was put
down now it would last for years to come.
The Republican party had decided, in a regular
manner. as to who should represent them in
this convention, and he knew that many
Democrats had participated in the bolt
ing convention. The Republicans should be
careful what they do with the from
tier counties. The party had good hold up
on those present, but if they permitted these
dissensions to continue that hold would soon
be lost. He moved the admission of the reg
ular delegation headed by Mr.. Stevenson.
Mr.. johnson, of Becker, endorsed every
word said by Senator McCrea.
Mr.. ListOe seconded MI. McCrea's motion.
The Republicans in that section were stal.
warts-there were no half-breedS among them
Qaughtar) They will not submit to half and
half delegation. By admitting the regular
delegation the quarrel in the party in Polk
county would be settled finally and forever
Cries of Question" arose from all parts OF
the hall, and some half dozen delegates who
sought to be heard were choked off. Mr.. Nc
Crea's motion was then adopted almost
unanimously with great applause.
The committees on permanent organization
reported in favor of making the temporary or
ganization the permanent one. Adopted.
Gov. Wakefield arose and said: thank you
again for this renewed expression of you,
confidence. Coming together at such a time
as this, when the whole nation Is shrOuded in
q great grief aud emblems of mourning sur
round us on every hand for the great calamity
that has befallen the nation, need not invoke
you to SO conduct your deliberations
and the campaign we are now entering
upon, free from all factional or partisah
strife. The spirit of patriotism should
govern your every action. You should not
allow disappointments of personal nature IT,
influence your conduct during the campaign,
but do all in your power to contribute to thu
success of tue very excellent ticket which /,
am sure you will nominate to-day. Again /
thank you.
. Mr.. Camp, of Hennepin, moved that all re-
solutions be referred to the committee, with
out debate. Carried.
Mr.. Barto moved that a committee be
named to nominate state central committee.
Mr.. Blakely opposed the motion as with
out precedent. He thought the committee
should not be selected till after the ticket was
nominated. so that its members might be in
harmony with all the candidates and represent
all the sections
Mr.. Barto's motion was carried.
Col. Hicks, from the committee on resolu.
tions, presented the following report, which
was unanimously adopted: s.5s.fs.
