At 11:2O o'clock Chairman Wilson. of
Scott county, called the convention to order
and read the call.
Liberty Hall, of Glencoe, nominated Gen.
Levi Nutting, of Rice, for temporary chair
man. aud he was elected without opposi-
ton. Gen. Nutting said he knew the con-
vention was not hankering for speech and
business would be proceeded with. James
Slocum, of Carver, was made temporary
secretary on motion of Liberty Hail. On
motion of L. p. Dodge. of Dakota, the
chair appointed the following committee of
three on credentials: l.. p. Dodge, Dakota,
j. S. Nelson. Carver, T. NJ. Wilson. Good
hue. 4 committee Of three on permanent
organization was appointed by the chair, on
motion Of j. G.. Beaumont, of Rice, as fol-
lows: DR.. Benjamin, of Mcleod. S. p.
JenniSOn. of GOOdhue j. e. Beaumont OF
Rice. c. W. Riches, of Carver, moved
the appointment of a committee of one from
each county to nominate a committee on
resolutions. The committee was made up
as follows:
Goodhue, E. A Hancock; Rice, E. N.
Seavens; Meeker. DR.. Kennedy; Renyille, ].
G. Riebe; Chippewa, w. B. Kitchell; Swift,
J. NJ. Daniels; Mcleod, Liberty Hall: Kandi-
yOhi, Peter Larson Jr.; Dakota, L. P. Dodge;
Carver George N. Houghton; Scott, s..
Bowler.
There was some discussion over the
adoption of resolution offered by Gen.
Jennison, instructing the committee on
resolutions to indOrse the platform adopted
by the Republican state convention at st.
Paul. and also the lOng-tried and faithful
representative in congress from the Third
district. Maj. Strait. Don't go farther
than this, he said.
THE PLATFORM,
aside from an Endorsement of Mai. Strait,
was all the convention need cover. Don't
spread out too much. 1t was not prudent
to go too far. If it was attempted it would
show the opposition that there was
division in the Republican ranks.
If the committee on resolutions
should report plank at variance with
the state platform it would be taken as an
indication of dissatisfaction with the plat
form. 1t would be better to indorse the
platform now and prevent any possibility
of trouble or misunderstanding. Maj
Strait, he said. deserved all the cOmmenda-
ton that the convention could heap upon
him. o. f. Perkins. of Rice, said it was
all right to indorSe Strait. but the conven-
ton ought not to instruct the committee be-
yOnd that. 1t was not right to hamper the
committee. It was irregular, perhaps in
bad taste. Let the committee make its re-
port Then the convention could adopt it
or not. as it saw fit. Liberty Hall thought
the suggestion of Gen. Jennison unusual
and irregular. 1t was of no use if 1t was
proposed to confne the committee to the
two
SIMPLE ENDORSEMENTS SUGGESTED.
1t was better to leave the matter entirely
in the hands OF the committee. He did not
believe the committee would report
resolutions to conflict with the plat
form adopted by the state convention.
o. F. Perkins. of Rice, suggested that the
Jennison resolution be divided and put to a
vote-one section indOrSng Strait, the other
the st. Paul platform. 1t was one thing to
favor Strait, but another to favor the plat
form. Gen. Jennison said that if there was
anybody in the convention in travail with
rhetoric he was willing they should produce
any resolutions now in labor. He didn't
want to shut them off from any glory. The
motion to divide the resolution was put to a
vote and lost, and Gen. Jennison then with
drew the motion entirely. At this point a
delegate discovered that one of the contest
ing delegates from Chippewa county had
been placed on the committee to appoint the
committee to draft resolutions. He objected
to this being done until the committee on
credentials had decided which delegation
from that county was entitled to seats. He
wanted the name of w. B. Kitchell dropped
from that committee. NJ. H. Sullivan, of
Dakota, thought the delegation having the
REGULAR CREDENTIALS
should be entitled to seats. A delegate
said he didn't want to disfranchise any
county. but it would be proper to wait for
the committee on credentials. No action
was taken. The secretary raised a laugh
by announcing that the name of ''Sars
Peterson, of Dakota" had been changed.
This brought Peter Sarson, of KandiyOhi.
to his feet and he strongly objected to
being called Sars Peterson. The mistake
was finally rectified. The committee to
appoint committee to draft resolutions
reported the following names:
Goodhue, E. V, Can1eld: Meeker, DR.. Nc
Collum; Rice, o. +. Perkins; Scott, William
Wilson; Chippewa. John Kohur; Mcleod,
Liberty Hall; RenvIlle, G. L, Lorraine; Dakota,
l.. P. Dodge; Kandiyohi; c. L. Anderson,
Swift N. P. Moran; Carver. G. W. Riches.
The convention then took recess until
1:30 o'clock.
