plause for ten minutes, which
drowned out the music of the band.
The convention was called to order at
3 O'Clock in the afternoon. During the
forenoon the central committee had set
tied the claims of the Walsh county
contestants, seating the Burke Gelega-
ton. This was great Burke victory, as
Walsh was Allin's home. Pembina
cOunty's contest was settled by select
ing half of the delegates from each del
egation. The convention was called to
order by Chairman Spalding, of the
May, of Fargo, offered prayer, after
which the names of those ell
titled to seats were announced.
Alfred Dickcy, of Stutsman, was elected
temporary chairman; B. f. Lounsbery,
of Richland, and B.W. Shaw. of Morton,
secretaries. These were all Burke men,
but there was no opposition. The
chairman appointed the various commit
tees, after which recess was taken
until O'Clock p. N. At $50 Temporary
Chairman Dickey called the convention
to order. The committee on Gre
dentials submitted It's report, and
its chairman moved its adop-
ton. McCumber. of Richland, made
an amendment that in place of the
Walsh county delegation reported the
names of the delegation unseated by
the central committee (the Allin dele
gation). Judge Cochran, of Grand
Forks, opposed the motion. McCumber
replied, stating that there was not an
AlIn man upon the committee that
tried the case of the cOntesting delega-
tions. After half an hour of red-hot
wrangling the chair decided that the
