In the Ramsey county district it was
decided to allow no representation on
the committee until the warning factions
could agree upon a man. The commit
teeman at large will be- selected by
Chairman McCumber after consultation
with the candidates.

The platform removes the tentacles of
tire octopus, but it is a little weak on pro-
hlbition-not as strong as some of the
delegates wanted it. 1t simply declares
in favor of enforcing existing laws. Who
could oppose that? If the law is not
what is wanted, repeal it.

The reception given Captain Burke,
Hon. M. N. johnson and other nominees
of the convention on their arrival at
Fargo was a grand affair and witnessed
by thousands Of people. The carriage
prepared for Captain Burke was a perfect
bed of flowers.
The Missouri slope was not united in
purpose-every county being left to shift
for itself.

It is said that Jud LaMoure had the
strongest and best drilled delegation in
the convention. It was a LaMoure dele
gation-no splits-no talking back
everything just IS Jud wanted it, and
Jud always gets there.

Judge Francis distinguished himself
in the convention by making a few pat
remarks at times when trouble seemed
imminent. He poured oil on the
troubled waters" so successfully that he
was warmly complimented all around.
*
The Grand Forks papers and the
Fargo Argus covered the convention in
fine shape. Major Hamilton the new ed
it or of the Plaindealer, is more than ex-
ceeding the expectation of his friends.
***
The candidacy of Hon. H. W. Lord, of
Devils Lake for the governorship was not
pressed, owing to the contest from Ram
sey. However, MIR. Lord had many warm
friends among the delegates who would
have been pleased with a turn in affairs
that would have allowed his candidacy
to proceed.
TX
1t is said that the chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions had been working
on the task for a month or more and that
the original draft covered three columns.
A bright, crisp, ringing platform of half
a column void of isms would be a novelty
in a state convention that the people of
North Dakota would appreciate.

According to all the tabular roll calls
thus far published, johnson received
1919 votes and Hansbrough 1867, but
either the footings are wrong or else the
score-keepers made a mistake. The
right footings are 1907 for johnson and
1862 for Hansbrough unless, as is sus-
pected, the Emmons county tally was re-
versed. If so, then the totals as pub
lished are correct. The following IS the
vote nv COMMITTEES.

Mandan Pioneer: We were among
friends. At the time of the balloting,
Harmon received 164 votes, and was de-
clared to be one nominee. He had more
votes than any other candidate. All this
was glory enough for one week. Our
