great rate.
GEN. JENNIsON FIRED ANOTHER SHOT,
and then eight or ten delegates began to
talk at once. Judge Sullivan, o. +. Per-
kinS and G. III. Johnson took prominent
part in the discussion. The delegates be-
gan to get impatient, and cries of 'QueS-
toni" were heard in all parts OF the house.
Judge Sullivan closed the discussion by
moving that the minority report OF
the committee on credentials be
adopted. and the secretary began
to call the roll. Gen. Jennson brought the
laugh down upon himself by voting yea
when he should have voted nay. There
were number of explanations OF votes by
delegates, D. +. Perkins, j. Simmons, j. G.
Riebe, G. S. Anderson and oshers. The
ballot was taken Dy calling each individual
delegate The secretary declared the mo-
ton to adopt the minority report lost by a
vote of 81 to 81. Several tallies which
were kept did not agree with that of the
secretary, but this was announced as the
| result by the chair. A motion was then
made to adopt the majority report.
SEATING THE HERBERT DELEGATES,
anu this was carried by vote of 80 to 80.
5. Saterlee. in spirit of generosity, wanted
both delegations from Chippewa seated.
John Kohr, one of the Reed delegation,
presented E. c. Rogers, proxy, and was
admitted as delegate. S. Saterlee moved
that two of the other delegates be admitted
to represent Chippewa county. as only two
delegates had been admitted and the county
was entitled to four. A motion prevailed
that Saterlee and Kohr be authorized to
cast the full vote of the county. and thus
the disturbing element was disposed of,
practically dividing the delegation between
Reed and Herbert. Saterlee being Herbert
man and Kohr Reed man. The temporary
officers were made permanent. and the con-
ventiOn then proceeded to take an informal
ballot for on-ressman. The roll was not
called by counties. but as the name OF each
delegate was called he came forward and
deposited printed ballot in hat. M.
Theeney, of Mcleod, f. M. Wilson, of
Goodhue, and George n. Houghton, of
Carver, acted as tellerS. No nominating
speeches were made.

ferred upon me and realize that it is q very
grave task. The candidate has before him
in this campaign every need of caution and
energy. Our opponents are Encouraged by
the change of administration. They have
lot Of fat Offices in sight and
the administration will do all it
can to help them and reduce the Republican
majority. For this reason 1 realize that l
accept a grave responsibility. There are
grave questions to be considered by the legis-
lauive body; these are relating to labor, trans
portation and kindred topics. These demand
close study and careful legislation. My life
has always been in harmony with the people.
My struggle has been with the industrial
classes. If elected will use every effort to
have these industries developed and see that
every man has his rights and is protected.
You have kept me here for some time and
subjected me to
