A half-hOur recess followed to give
the committees time to report. Upon
reassembling, DIR. Smith, from the COM
mittee on resolutions, reported the fol-
lowing:
Whereas. The sentiment of the Republic
ans of Minnesota is manifestly in favor of
the re-election of Senator C. K. Davis to the
position which he has filled with conspicu-
GUS ability and fidelity, and
Whereas, The party would be materially
in the ensuing campaign by an
declaration in his favor, which
would place Senator Davis before the people
as its fixed choice. thus representing the en-
tire party instead of an individual candidacy;
therefore,
Resolved, That the delegates from Ramsey
county be and they hereby are instructed to
support the formal nomination by the Re-
publican state convention of G. X. Davis as
the Republican candidate for United States
senator
"This report has been prepared espe-
cially to meet the claims that have been
made that We are not really for Gov.
McGIl, said DR.. Smith, 1--WE mean
business, and are for Gov. McGilI first,
last and all the time, and every man
elected delegate must understand that
he goes with instructions to vote for
him. We have no second choice, and
are for him first, last and all the time,
believing that his nomination will lead
the party to success in the coming cou-
tlict.'
No Second Choice.
At the close of the reading of the Nc
Gill resolution DR.. Smith moved their
adoption and NJ. j. Costello claimed the
attention of the body. lie Was asked to
take the platform, and declared thac he
was glad that the friends of Gov. McGili
had the courage and manliness to pre-
sent the resolutions which they have.
He offered an amendment to the effect
that in case the name of Gov. McGilI
was not presented the delegation should
vote for Lieut.-Gov. G. S. Ives, He fol-
lowed this with all eloquent speech, Op-
posing the nomination of a man who
does not represent the principles of the
party. He would, he declared, favor
Gov. McGill next after Gov. Ives.
Il AN sufficient of Republican to
demand that my party go before the
people with candidate who rests on
the basic principles of the party" said
Mr.. Costello. 1--WE will not need to
adopt one set of principles for our state
and another for our national
canvass if Gov. McGill is made the nomi-
nee, nor if Gov. Ives is the man chosen.'
DR.. Smith replied to MIR. Costello in
manner, saying that the reso-
lutions say that the thirty of Ramsey
county shall vote for ex-GOv. McGiII.
In conclusion he moved that the amend
ment be laid upon the table. Henry
Johns asked that the motion to lay on
the table be withdrawn, and this was
done to allow Mr.. Johns to talk
"The thirty delegates from Ramse ""

the Republicans of Minnesota to nomi-
nate man for whom any Republican
will be obliged to apologize. l favor
