very pleasant humor. The legislative
committee was increased to nine mem
bers, not yet appointed. The action Of
the con. con. in hxingso niggardly sum
as $40 for the publication of the consti-

the new law makers and see that the
right thing is done for their interests if
possible. The annual meeting and PIC

Miller boom was largely attended, and is
said to have been quite enthusiastic.
They claim l20 votes pledged as the
result. It will require 10 to organize.
Out of the above number claimed there
were Il. number of contestants, who could
vote only when admitted, to make it
count. This combine is making the old
timers get action. and some tail rustlins
is now going on. Aliens friends are
feeling the effects of the Miller business
and on the lines indicated by the above
the fight of the convention will most
likely be waged. No one is named for
either permanent or temporary chair
man, and the Miller men say nothing
! but his nomination is desired, and that
they are content to leave the balance o1
the nominations to the convention.
i The convention meets at two p. m
/ There are some seven contests to be de
cided. A sharp fight will occur on the
credentials committee. It IS supposed
that not much besides organization will
be accomplished tomorrow.

will present now name for governor il
Aliens chances get too small for profita
bly, clinging to him.
The Miller men will present P, J. Nc
Cumber of Wahpeton for temporary
chairman, and the Allen men will present
E. A. Williams of Bismarck.
ARGUS CLIP.

matters it was intimated that Hon. AL

didate-for all there was in it. Mr.
Dickey is an old soldier, bang up repub
lican and his delegation do not like the
intimation. The Argus intends TO be
eminently fair with every candidate.
