The crowd was joined at this point by
delegation from Dickey county, who ar

McVean, G. G. Fletcher and A, D. Elem
ington.
The first man met was determined
looking delegate about the size of VIM. H.
Seward. He had the bearing of leader
of men and his name was T. H. Brown.
You are just the man was looking for,
Mr.. Brown. l understand that Mr.. Petit
CREWS name will be brought before the
convention, and I want to know something
about it,
Are you sure you are not Pioneer
Press MANI" with a very suspicious look.
Have l the appearance of an angel in
disguise? A swamp angelo
Mr.. Brown turned to bashful red at
this rebuke, and said. The Pioneer Press
is not for our country
This remark was encored by forty dele
gates who had congregated around the in
terviewer and his prey.
THE best thing that the Pioneer ever
published was Pettigrew's own words
which it had the gall to print Last Wednes
day"
Can you remember Nh. P's language il
the P. P?
Perfectly well. He pronounced as falst
that papers assertion that he (Pettigrew
was working to break up the Republican
party. Furthermore, Mr.. Pettigrew said
THE Pioneer Press isn't a newspaper il
regard to this controversy; it wilfully per
verts the truth. It is in the market to bS
bought and sold like an OK, and the highes
bidder gets it. That was the best thing the
Press ever pubished.'
1T has not killed Pettigrew them"
mo. But it has killed itself in our sec
ton, where Pettigrew is a solid man. No
many men could go to town and make
$150.0O0 and not one enemy. Pettigrev
was raised in Sioux Falls
He is prophet in his -"
''That is not the thing. 1t is a large
wide, deep, strong current that has Away:
been with him, and will carry him through
He is only thirty three years old ant
has been twice to the Legislature
from his own district. Every caucus has
been for him, and in the county convention
there was not a dissenting vote. What yor
see is the largest uncontested delegation
yet sent to Grand Forks. We counted six
ty-six uncosted votes on the train coming
up. The whole train was solid for Petit
grew"
1.-The Dickey county delegates, who me
you here, are against Pettigrew.''
'Let me correct you-Dickey county
was pledged to the opposition by VIM. II
Becker, and the people, in order to organ
ize, kept still, until they were organized
when they were found to be solid all owe
for Pettigrew. Hand county did the SAM
thing''
"How many bona fde delegates will hav
| seats in the convention?"
tsAbout 373, but we feel sure of enough
votes to carry the primary organization.
Twill Pettigrew have complete walk
over? Or will there be enough of con
test to make it interesting. Are there an,
dark horses spoken Off"
.-Pettigrew is the dark horse with thi
crowd
I will north Dakota have anything t.
say"
'.North Dakota may select man if the.
can unite on one. But we think we hav
looked after their interests VI
there better than they could d
themselves. Geo. Fl. Walsh is possibl
candidate for north Dakota"
Col Campbell and Mr.. Elwell steppe'
up and the conversation became general
There is little concert of action. Blu
Pettigrew is the man first, last and all tn
time.
The Hand delegates, from Mood
county, were sought first for change
They are Henry w. Williamson, VIM
Phillips, John H. Neperud, Roger .Bren
nan. j. H. Emo, D. l.. Shields and JOIN
Huntington.
The opinion prevailing among them i
that neither Hand or Pettigrew will ge
the nomination, but that J. B. Raymon
will be the dark horse from Fargo VIII
will get it.
