COLD WATER COUNCIL.
DOings of Hennepin ProhibitfOnists
i'm County Convention.

The Prohibition county convention Of
Hennepin assembled at Harrison hall yes
terday, with enough program laid out to
detain an ordinary convention three weeks.
About $50 delegates had been elected, but
only two-fifths of them appeared giving
the country districts very poor representa-
ton. 1t was conceived by some of the
delegates that in two brief hours they could
select delegates to the state and congress
siOnal conventions, delegates to the three
senatorial conferences, hold these confer
ences and nominate senators and repre-
sentatiyes, nominate full county ticket
besides, and then listen to an address by
Rev. James P. Pinkham. 1t rapidly be-
came evident that much more had been
bitten off than could possibly be chewed.
S. B. Williams was chosen president
and George T. Getty secretary. Com
mittees on credentials were appointed and
long list of delegates accredited
without dispute. Two sets of delegates
were chosen, one by committee and one
viva voce. and then a county committee
was selected Sam Small made an inter
esting address. and finally the convention
concluded to do nothing further at present.
No one had the senatorial district lines, and
it became impossible to select the delegates.
After this was made apparent everything
was left to the county committee, with
power to make all appointments.
