At this juncture Mr.. H. Plath pre-
sented and asked leave to read the res
olutions adopted by several farmers
conventions held at New Ulm, Sleepy
Eye and Springfield in the early part o.
the summer. At tho conclusion of the
reading of the resolutions Mr.. Plath
moved their adoption by the conven-
ton. Mr.. Bobleter thought it unneces.
sary to adopt the resolutions as whole
as the question Of wheat grading and
railroad discrimination had already
been fully met in the platform adopted
by the convention. They were, how
ever, unanimously adopted as read.
{ The resolutions having been published
i'll these columns at the time of thei,
adoption by the FARMERS convention
held in New Ulm we deem it unneces
sary to reproduce them here. Ed.
AS the convention was about to pro
coed to a.ballot for Representative Mr.
Bobleter arose and stated that he wa:
not a candidate for the office in the
sense Of asking for the nomination. and
that the delegates in the convention
would bear him out in the statement
that he had not asked the support of .
single delegate. He stated that if tho
convention saw fit to tender him the
nomination he would accept it, but in
order that there might be no misunder.
standing he explained his position full
ly on the subject of railroad passes
thouched upon in the resolutions sub.
mitted by Mr.. Plath. He explained
that he received his passes from the rail
road companies in payment for adver-
Using and that if any delegate in the
convention believed that if nominated
and elected his vote could be Dough,
for railroad pass he hoped that sucl
delegate would refrain from yotins
for him.
An informal ballot for Representative
was then taken which resulted as fol
lows:

A'oO'o' oA ...'S .............. 49,. l;
On the formal ballot Wcrring receiy.
ed IL, Brandt 3 and Bobleter 20. Mr..
Bobleter was declared the nominee.
Mr.. Bobleter in accepting the nomi-
nation said:
Mr. Chairman Gn0 Gentlemen of til,
Convention: In accepting the nomina
ton for Representative which you have
just rendered / desire to thank yor
most heartily for the confidence YOU re
pose in me as expressed by your bal
lots. | assure you that if elected l vii
represent the people of Brown county
honestly and without Partially to To-
acality or party utilization. [ pledge
you that l will endeavor to represent
the wishes of the people so far as l ma,
know them. Most heartily will I sup
port any just measure to correct the
existing evils of wheat manipulation
and freight discrimination. This is an
all important question to the farming
and business interests of this State and
will no doubt receive early attention al
the hands of the incoming legislature.
l am opposed to the passage of any
law restricting, or intending to restrict
the rights of personal liberty. Neither
do recognize the right of any man o,
set of men to legislate out of existence
the propertysbf another man or set O
men engaged in industries heretofore
encour aged by the laws of the State,
without just and sufficient remuner
alton for such loss. AS have been
asked to devine my position on the
question of a division of the county.
desire to say that | am opposed to any
Legislation cutting off any number O
towns from the western portion of The
county, as believe the county is small
enoug b at present and such division
would not be for the welfare of tn,
county. II a majority of the people Of
the county as now constituted decid,
to remove the county seat to Sleepy
Eye or anywhere else the people 81
New Ulm will be satisfied. Now tina,
you have nominated me without m,
solicitation / earnestly hope that yoI
