Yesterdays session of the Prohibition
state convention was fully as slow as
the session of the day before, but
nOisier. Chairman Pinkham raped
with his gayel for nearly half hour
before he could get the delegates qniet.
They were all running around the ball
looking for one another like so many
sheep who had lost the bell wether.
When order had been secured. Chair
nan Robert Taylor. of the committee
on credentials, attacked the press for
having miSrepresented the convention
on the matter of women delegates. He
said the names of no women had been
presented to the committee. They
would have received the same treatment
as the men had they been presented.
That did not change the fact that the
chairman announced at the opening of
the session the day before that
Women Could Not BE Admitted
as delegates. Perhaps that is why no
women presented their names as dele
gates.
Later in the day c. A. Smart pre-
scented a resolution that created stir.
1t read:
Resolved. That this convention express its
sincere regret that through 4 mlsunderstand-
ing OF the law our secretary of the state cen
trai committee did not have notice given
through the Western Leader that ladies could
not sit as members; that this is not 10 be con-
sidered as censuring the chairman OF the
state committee
Ii created a stir because it seemed to
be a censure of the chairman of the
state central committee. 1t was adopted
after it had been explained.
The ballot on members at large of
the state central committee, which had
been taken the day before, was all
nOunced. w. J. Dean. w. w. Satter-
lee, DR.. Edwards and Rev J. z. Pink
ham were successful. By special vote
the committee was increased, and Rev.
David Morgan and ID. w. DOty were
added.
The nomination of presidential elect
Ors came next. Hugh Harrison, of
Minneapolis, was nominated as elector
at large by reclamation, in spite of
protests that it was an unfair method.
The nomination of Rev. j. =. Pink
ham. as the second elector at large, was
moved Here the st. Paul men did
kick. They could stand Minneapolis
getting most of the places on all the
delegations and the best places on the
state ticket, but they did not want both
electors at large to be taken from the
Flour City. Pinkham withdrew and
Judge Perkins, of Window.
1t was objected to Perkins that he lived
i'll Minneapolis most of the time. Other
names were mentioned by the dozen.
1t became necessary to take q couple of
ballots. Rev Martin Mahoney. of Ste
Paul, was made the other electOr at
large. The district electors nominated
were as follows:
First district. P. B. Romer Gilmore: Sec
ond. : j. johnson, Window: Third. DR.. A.
2. Cooley. Cannon Falls: Fourth. G. B. Mar
shall, saltwater; Fifth, Rev. Frank Peterson,
sixth, David Mur;agh, Howard
Lake; seventh, Rev. B. 3. Hangar, Fergus
Falls.
One of the features of a Prohibition
the raising of a campaign
fund, came next on the programme.
The sum of 81. $50 was subscribed in a
very few minutes.
Repudiatcd the Platform.
Then the committee on platform re-
ported. This platform was a conglOm-
crate affair. 1t contained the usual
pianks relative to the cause of prohibit
ton. and demanded the abolition Of all
lice nses. in lieu of the present system.
In addition TO the prohibition planks,
there were sections demanding woman
suffrage, election of president and SEN
of the people, bI-metallic money Sys-
TEN. graduated income tax and the
adoption of a referendum system.
This hybrid platform created breeze.
Rev. J. NJ. Smith, of St. Paul. was the
most Outspoken UppoSer Of it. He
roasted it from top 10 bottom. Then he
wound up by declaring that he would
never vote the Prohibition ticket while
the party stood on such platform. The
platform was adopted. nevertheless.
Later in the day Elder Satterlee got Mr..
Smith into a corner and talked TO him.
Smith took the floor and apolOgiZed.
He said Elder Satterlee had explained
it all satisfactorily TO him, and he would
stand by the ticket.
THE State Ticket.
Nominations for state officers were
ooIIa6 for W naan of NinDoonoliS
was named for governor Uy reclamation.
Ole Kron. OF Douglas county. was men,
toned as man who had remained a
Prohibitionist white living in the strong
hold OF the Peoples party. He was
nominated for lieutenant governor. Mr..
nron wanted TO withdraw, but he was
pushed into the race.
As candidate for auditor the name
OF p. B. RameT, OF Tillman. was pre-
scented. Some of the delegates didn't
want to vote for Ramer until they had
looked at him. But he had left the hall.
Ramer was nominated for auditor by
reclamation. 3. Ii. Evans. OF Lyon,
was nominated for state treasurer, also
by reclamation. Prof. HillebOe, of Kan
diyoki, was nominated for secretary of
state. He withdrew and nominated J.
F. Crosse, of MOorhead. a large repre-
sentation, led by Elder Salterlee. Op-
posed the nomination of Crosse. They
did not know him, and were not certain
that he would accept. TiresOme squab-
bling and confusing parliamentary
practice resulted in tie nomination of
Prof. ii. II. Acker. of Norman county,
for secretary of state.
T. a. Pine, of ST. Paul, was named
for attorney general, and Johnny
Hughes said Pine would not accept.
Eli Larson, of Mormon. was proposed
bv Prof. SkGrdalsvold. Eli didn't
want to get there and said Sc. He
nominated Robert Taylor, of Dodge.
Taylor wouldn't take it. He had to
support family and could not afford to
run. Charles z. Shannon, of Duluth,
was nominated. The Sixth district
Prohibitions want Shannon as a con-
