lively campaign for the selection of q can.
'iidate for Congress. Milo White of Fill
moro county 10 tho present incumbent, but
some months ago J. A. Lovely, . prom
inent attorney at Albert LA, Freeborn

To these were added NJ. b. Dunnell Of
Steele country, the member of congress
prior to Whites election and Capt. Mullen
of Wabashaw county. The convention met
at Kasson, Dodge county on the 18th and

convection, 40 being necessary to q choice.
The first ballot stood Lovely 81, White 80,
Mullen 8 and Dunnell7. Mullen and Dun
nell each had their own counties but no
more This vote showed the actual strength

other candidate. There were 80 ballots On
the 18th without any material change. On
the 10Th the opening ballot was exactly
the same a. the first on the day previous.
Seventy-nine ballots were taken during
for supper. In the evening friends OF the
various candidates announced that all del
egates were released from pledges, and at
liberty to vote as they pleased. This an
nouncement, however, made no material
change though some of the delegates
switched about q little. On one ballot
Mullen had 10 and Dunnell none, and on
another Dunnell had Is and Mullen 2. White
and Lovely. each scored 81 on different
ballots and the evening session closed with

ballot. standing exactly as the opening bal.
lot did on the first day. The next ballot
stood Lovely 80, Mullen 80. White u,
DuDnell l. Three more ballots with the
same result and then the anti-Lovely
forces gave Dunnell little boom. 90 the
11Sth ballot the forces swung into line and
again divided between Lovely and White
There were only II votes cast and OF these
White had SO. The chair was about ia
announce the nomination of White when
loud protest arose, it being claimed that
DO matter how small the number of votes
cast, required 40 to nominate. That nation
prevailed and the 1lsth ballot was taken ov-
eragain resulting in White having 81, Love
" 81 and Mullen 3. % the next ballot
White and Lovely each had 80 votes More
ballots followed without decisive change
until the 126th was reached when Lovely
scored Al to 80 for White and for Mullen,
and Lovely was declared the nominee amid
applause. Mr.. Lovely made handsome
acceptance speech, quite a lengthy plat
form was adopted and the three days ses.
sion terminated.
