The committee recommended that
the delegates present cast the full
vote of their delegations
The report was adopted.
The following committee on resolu-
tions was appointed: A. 0. LeDuc. of
Rock; Mathews, Of Lyra A. Stein
hauSer. of Brown: w. L. Comstock, of
Blue Earth; and G. B. Shepard, of No
bleS.
The convention proceeded with the
nominations, on motion of M. L. Fal-
lenStein.
A. D. LaDue, of Rock, moved to
amend that the convention make no
nominations today but adjourn for
four weeks. -Four counties are not re-
presented, whether from lack of in
terest or notice. No official published
notice of meeting was given in Rock.
The Democratic state convention will
then have adjourned and we can see
whether all the voters in the state
other than Republicans unite. 1t
might be considered better to endorse
the Peoples party than to let Repub-
licans succeed. (Applause.) L. c..
Long, the Peoples party congression-
al candidate, is all right on Democrat
ic principles, and he feels that if a
nomination is made here today he will
be defeated and high tariff man will
be elected. We should concentrate
our action. l would prefer to see the
electoral vote of the state 60 to Weav-
er rather TINA to Harrison.
G. Is. Trowbridge seconded this
amendment. The amendment re-
ceived but two or three votes and was
lost. The original motion then car
ried.
1t was voted to ballot by counties.
The Martin county delegation here
came in.
G. B. Trowbridge named E. St. Juli-
en- Cox, of st. Peter, as candidate
for the nomination, and the name
brought out cheer. He urged as a
reason for his nomination that the
Republicans are particularly opposed
to him. His Dem ocracy has been I'M
tainted and his record as soldier is a
good one.
j. J. Thornton presented the name
of W. S. Hammond, of Madelia, a
young, vigorous, able man. II you go
down with him as the standard bearer
you will go down with clean man.
(Applause.) But he will not go down.
He is worthy of any position in the
state. Put him up with Cleveland or
Dan W. Lawler, of St. Paul, and you
have a good team. Our man is a
schoolmaster and is moreover a good
lawyer.
1t was decided to take an informal
vote which resulted,as follows:
Hammond Pope Cox Long
Blue Earth Is
Brown 9 2
Chippewa
Cottonwood 2
Faribault 8
