STILL THEY TALK.
The Delegates Do Not Mince
Words as to Their Feelings.

words as to Their Feelings.
The Merchants hotel was a perfect
beehive of delegates last evening.
Knots OF men stood here and there
about the lobby and discussed the days
convention. The nomination of Wilson
was the favorite theme of discussion
ana conversation. The Hennepin
county delegation was sore and the
members were loud in their de-
nunclation of the tactics used by
the alleged ''bosses" in the con-
yention. They felt that they
mad been sat upon and squelched, and
SAID that the result would be noticed in
the vote of Hennepin in the fall. The
ramsey delegates were better disposed,
and, though their man was showed
under. they were too good Democrats to
Dolt MIR. Wilson. Here are few of the
sentiments culled from thousand and
one expressed during the evening:
Judge Barrett, Ramsey do not
thlnk Wilson's nomination the most for
tunate, but | believe in supporting the
nominee with heart and soul. As far as
L am concerned, Mr.. Lamberton treated
me with the utmost courtesy and fair
ness all through the convention. How
ever ne displayed unwonted and unpar-
donable partisanship in the Sc
lection of the committee on Gre
dentlals when he wholly ig-
nored a minority of 1913 delegates.
1t was not my place to nominate Dr..
Ames. l did so at the request of the
HeDnepln delegation, who should have
moved to make the nomination of Will
son unanimous. l have the highest re-
spect for Mr.. Wilson, and will give him
my hearty support. 1t is unfortunate
Tor him that he is regarded as the candi-
date OF Mr.. Doran, which believe in
all fairness is not the case. / am in
favor OF Mr.. Bowen'S method of APP
pointing the state central committee,
and introduced similar measure my
self four years ago.
Maj. Pau, Mankato-I voted for
Ames because thought he could poll
the most votes. They cannot afford to
put aside the Bowen resolution. If
they do 1t means certain defeat for the
ticket.
Mr.. Morrill,, Anoka County, am in
favor of the Bowen resolution as to the
appointment of the state central COM
mittee. Think the convention will be
In favor of it or some compromise.
Mr.. Stringer, HaStings-I favor a
modification of the Bowen resolution.
1t utterly ignores one judicial district,
the Sixteenth. The feeling among the
country delegates is that the chairman
and candidates nominated should select
the state central committee.
Mr.. PAIL, Brown County, opposed
Wilson, but am with him now. If the
Bowen resolution is not passed the
ticket will be buried under O,OOo ma
jority. If they can afford to ignore
such counties as Hennepin, Ramsey,
Blue Earth and Brown, why let them.
We are not opposed to Wilson, but we
are opposed to the present method of
appointing the state central committee.
Daniel +. Buck, Blue Earth County
LambertOn was terribly mixed up.
There isn't enough of the ticket nomi-
mated to tell much about its success or
failure. l think the Bowen resolution
will pass, but with amendments.
Mr.. Mcintyre, Marshall County-The
Bowen resolution is the last resort of
the disgrunted delegates, who not con-
tent with opposing Mr.. Wilson would
now hamper him as much as possible by
such resolution. The rurals have sat
down upon Ramsey and Hennepin, and
they will do it again. We want the
chairman and candidates to nominate
the state central committee.
L. E. Bowen, Brown County, will
work hard for Mr.. Wilson's success, but
want TO see a central committee ap-
pointed who will command the conf
dence OF the people. Why does Mr..
Doran send out passes to delegates and
pack the convention? What is his OBJ
ject? Not to promote the interests of
the party, but to control the federal pa
tronage for another two years.
Mr.. Hall-Ramsey will sell out for
whatever it can get.
Mort Wilkinson-Wilson suits me-.
Mr.. Smith, Hennepin County, am
Democrat first, for another man after
wards.
A. Jacques, st. Louis County, do
not like the bum element, and that is
why opposed DR.. Ames.
