CONVENTION NOTES.
1t was a full convention with but few
proxies.
1t was hot. but only the weather. moth.
ing exciting occurred.
1t seems to worry some of our friends
"the enemy" because there was no quar-.
rel, when there was nothing to quarrel
over.
The delegates sent to Grand Forks are
nearly all men whose personal acquaint-
ance in other portions Of the state will
help considerably in making the neces-
sary combinations.
We believe that while technically, tile
right delegation was admitted from
Drayton, that it would have been bet
ter policy to admitted both delegations,
particularly as there was no question or
candidate at issue.
Mr.. LaMoure gave evidence of expert.
ence in the chair. While Mr.. Gafney
presides with the dignity BETTING the
place.
Our thanks are due both the secretary
pro tenn Mr. Wilder and the secretary
permanent, Mr.. Mcbride. for clear and
consise minutes furnished for publica.
tion.
The resolutions were discussed pre-
vious to their submission by number
of the leading delegates and were listen
ed to with closest attention. and some
were re-read, and were finally passed
without debate or amendment, but with
considerable enthusiasm.
Some 20 home disappointed because
they could not 10 to Grand Forks, but
We can tell them from experience, that
unless q man has a state acquaintance,
there is no place where one feels more
insignificant than in great big state
convention.
The Beaulleu delegation came double
headed also, this came from want of a
township committee, and was arranged
without contest.
Other localities were represented first
and those from Pembina came last and
were left to the personal choice Of Hon
L. Z. Booker.
