II GRAND FORKS, July 29.-[Special. +
The first day of the convention has been
fruitful of but one result, that being the
temporary organization as follows:
Chairman, McCumber of Richland; Sec
retaries, McFadden of Cass, Thompson
Of Pembina, Steele of Rolette, Holmes
Of Pembina; chairman committee on
credentials, Satterthwaite of Cass; chair
man committee on resolutions, Williams
of Burleigh; Clark of Kidder on perma-
nent organization. The convention,
after organizing, adjourned till evening
and then again till morning. On tempor-
ary organization Jesse Frye received III
votes, against 139 for McCumber. The
indications point to the, nomination of
Captain Burke by acclamation; and for
lieutenant governor, Fancher, Streeter,
and Roger Allen are candidates,
with the latter in the lead. Bray, Book
or, Flittie and Carey are almost sure win
ners. Hansbrough is very certain but
the johnson men do not give up. There
is some ugly feeling tonight among the
johnson men. They say they are being
euchred out Of their rights by paper con-
tests like those in Ramsey and Barnes.
The Hansbrough men, while confident,
are doing but little shouting tonight,
4 though they are doing considerable work.
IA little scene occurred in the hotel lobby
tonight Gov. Miller had made the re-
mark that Frye was put up by the lottery
men and that was the issue. Frye, who
will be remembered as strong anti-lot-

fercely and said, on d liar, come

GRAND Forks, July 30.-[Special. J.
It is seldom temporary organization of
a political convention effected by SUBJ
stantial majority is overturned by the
permanent organization, but that was the
surprise in store for the Hansbrough
forces tonight. They voted to adopt the
report of the committee on credentials by
a vote of 141 to 115. The report of the
committee on rules and procedure
placed the nomination OF governor ahead
of congressman. This plan was ap-
proved by the johnson men and after a
fierce parliamentary struggle the John
son men succeeded in reversing the Or
der by small majority, following this
up by voting down the mo-
tions to adjourn and finally
by voting 16115 to 1s31a for johnson for
congress. On the roll call 149 was nee
essary to a choice. johnson got 154.
There were rapid changes after that until
the number run up to 1917. The half
vote was caused by the fact Of the ad-
mission of both delegations from Ram
say with half vote each. It was an un-
expected result for the Hansbrough
forces, as they went into the

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Superinten-
dent Porter, of the census bureau, re-
ceived telegram from the board Of
trade of Minneapolis indorsing the joint
action of the secretary of the interior and
Superintendent Porter in ordering re-
count of the population of both cities of
st. Paul and Minneapolis. Nothing
short of recount under the direct su.
pervision of the census officials, says the
telegram, would be satisfactory to the
people of Minneapolis. The superinten-

delegation of st. Paul citizens may be
expected here tomorrow to protest
against a recount in that city. For this
reason Wardle, who will have charge of
the recount in st. Paul, will be delayed
until Thursday.

MEETING or THE REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE.

The republican state committee met
at the state house on the 9th TO fix
the time for tho state convention, and
consult upon the general interests Of
the party. The question Of IN early
or late convention called out some in
terosting discussion. The Capital
reports the following;
A motion was made by GA, spauldlng that
the date be nxed for August 20, and duly see
Ondcd. This brought the question of nm early
or late convention fairly before the committee,
and the matter was discussed from all stand
points.

A moro complete report will be
found in another column.
A gentleman recently returned from
Washington city, where no said he
had been to consult with Senator In
gals concerning the situation, was
heard to remark on the train from
Kansas City to Topeka, "that u
scheme had been developed that
would fix the farmers all right, and

not be so communicative on railroad
trans. There are sometimes listen
ers that they would really prefer

they will not stick wads in their ears

evidently been informed of tho
Scheme" and hence the delay in
calling the convention. They pretend
to confidently expect the great "un-
rest" among the farmers to subside
by the date fixed for the convention

The great central issue between
both tho parties and the people is the
money question. While the two
parties continue TO urge the tariff ms
the sole and only issue and endeavor
to keep the people pulling hair over
this question the people themselves
have been studying it on their own
account and in their own way, and
have come 10 the conclusion that the
tariff is really Of little consequence 80
far as It affects industrial interests.
If a difference Of less than per cent
represents the difference between
democratic free trade and republican
protection, it matters very little to the
people whether free trade or protec-
tion shall continue TO be the nominal
policy Of the government. The ques-
tion Of an increase Of the circulation
medium, however, is one Of incalcula-
BILE Importance, and one which the
people do not propose to lose sight Of
or permit to be overshadowed by the
tariff humbug or any other side issue
that the two old parties are 80 much
interested in keeping conspicuously
prominent for the purpose Of divert
ing attention.
The idea Of reform within party
lines is simply prepostorous. Such Il
thing was never known in any party.
Whenever any reform has been un-
dertaken, a party has been organized
to carry out its principles; and this
will continue TO be 80 to the end of
of time, The old parties are com
mitted to u definite line Of policy up
on all public questions, and they will
never depart from the principles they
have ospoused. They are joined to
their idols and should be let alone
"Ihe publication Of politics is an
irridescent dream" inside Of the old
parties. Until the industrial classes
rise in their united might and assert
their God-given rights Independently
Of either Of the existing parties they
will continue to be sold out as they
have been in Dakota, and in every
other instance where they have en-
to work within the old lines.
BE independent. 1t is the only hope.
Any effort by any other method will
fail. Mark the prediction.
