Parktr of Kentucky, who was over wv
ing with republican enthusiasm O,
hearing Of the state convent IN while on
his wsy to San Francisco. The senator
was granted the privilege of addressing
the convention. His remarks
we're varied but Of. impressive nature
He paid North Dakota, and espeei ally
Fargo, a great compliment. The sen
ator is out on a wild guose chase" to
see where he can most prottably invest
q few hundred. His impre sion of Fargo
and her handsome women leaves the i'm.
preston that he has found the spot oi
his destination.

NA1AA AhA OP0AuAuS 0AkN SAoO lOO oICh
cts bad been issued in excess of the
seating capacity Of the hall. As there
have been empty seats at both SET sions,
Mr.. Spalding made a motion to have the
doors thrown open to the public ten
minutes after session is called to order
The motion was carried.
The chairman then called for reports
from the various committees
Chairman Boucher submitted the re.
port for the committee OF credentials,
endorsing and teating the delegates re-
ported by the state central committee,
and moved it's adoption.
p. j. MeOumber of PichlaId moved
to amend the report by providing dele.
gates from Walsh county, instead of
Burke delegat g, in whose favor the
committee reported.
Dana of Bottineau moved that the
original motion and amendment he laid
upon the table. His motion was after
ward " ti6rawn.
Considerable discussion arose as to
the rules under which the convention
was lsboripg. 1t was plainly shown
that the Allin men were hostile and in
tended taking every opportunity to
obstruot the proceedings of the oonyen-
ton.
Judge Ccchrsns OF Grand Farks then
arose and made q stirring speech
relative to the opposition, and strongly
opposed thu motion clair. .MoOumber,
He urged that the decision Ct the state
CENTRAL committee he accepted. as it wa
composed OF men who were appointed
before any craftsmanship came into the
campaign.
This Stirred Mr.. MoCumter to a high
degree of excitem ,nt, and he at oncs Sc
cured the h2r to make q sarcastic
speech. He limited at many things and
made 10 charges. His speech was full
of general and personal spite.
Judge Cochrane. came back at Nc
Oumber and gave an intelligent argu
ment sustaining the state central com
mittee and the committee on credentials
in regard to the result CT the Walsh
county delegation. He said that the
state committee had spent two days in
investigating the matter anG their opin-
ions are unquestioned.
McCumber starttd in again and Grant
8. Hager called tea point of order, stat
irg that no charges had been preferred
by any delegation before the meeting OF
the committee.
Upon the request CT the chair Chair.
Spalding explained the situation
thoroughly by stating that no charges
of any nature whatever had bsen laid
before the state central committee.
The only difficulty that existed 10
the Walsh county contest was the fact
that two delegations were sent down to
the convention, and that the state com
mittee had mertl ~ been investigating to
see which delegation was properly
McCumber With fierce e0owl arose
and assailed the personal versc city and
standing of the officials Of the state cen
trail committee, and made o number OF
regarding the caucuses
held in Walsh county. Mr.. McOumber
made some insinuatlons against Gov!
ernor Burke which were resented by
Alex Hughes of Burleigh. McCumbe1
came back and stated that he had not
assailed the character of the governor,
and would not for anything.
Then followed q running Ere of ques
tions and answers to The chair.
Good win of Ransom, speaking for the
spoke in favor Of McOumber's amend .
ment.
Grant Hager arose to q point of order
and asked that Goodwin be chllel down
as he was not from Walsh county.
The chair finally ruled that that point
Of order was we'll taken.
Judge Cochrane cut eff all further
discussion by again calling to q point OF
order. He asked whether OF not the
committee on credentials had bee1
