GRAND FORKS. N. d., Mays Especial
Telegram. An day crowds of dele.
gates and prominent politicians have
thronged the streets and hotel corridors,
all putting forth their best endeavors to
make harmonious the work of eleotipg
delegates to the Minneapolis conven
tion. The state central committee met ss
Per arrangement, and fixed the basis of
apportionment for the next convention
Nearly all the delegates from The vari
GUS districts are on the ground and it is
expected the morning trains will bring
in the remaining ones The csss county
delegates are we'll satisfied as she will
have thirty delegates to the next state
convention instead of nineteen as at
present and as she has no candidate che
is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder
with her friends.
There was not shadow of . contest
from any of the districts and as it looks
now the delegates will be selected with
reference to judicial districts. 1t is
thought by those best able to Judge
that over two-thirds of the delegates
present are in favor OF selection in that
manner.
At this time the general trend OF
opinion seems to run towards the fol.
lowing gentlemen to make up portion
of the delegation to the national conven.
ton: John Percival of Ramsey, Robin
son of Traill, and Tom McOue of Walsh,
and there seems to be considerable
talk of Gerald Pierce for the
slope. There are all sorts of rumors
afoat, however. and nothing can be re-
lied upon at present.
The preliminary organization will
take place early in the morning after
which the meeting will be turned into
. mess meeting for the discussion of the
Worlds Fair question. The general
concensus of opinion seems to be
that an extra session of
the legislature should be called in
any event for the settlement of the
question Of electors and large number
are in favor Of good sized appropris-
ton for the Worlds Fair.

Political I,un,i,li.ie.

ST PAUL, May 3-Today's election
was the hottest and bitterest in the his
tory of this city and the result is some
thing in the nature of landslide. Two
years ago Mayor Smith was
elected to his seeond term by
plurality of about fourteen hundred
while from the returns received up to
midnight Colonel Wright, his republi.
can citizens opponent was elected today
by about fifteen hundred majority.
Mayor Smith practically admits his de-
feat. Besides mayor the republi sans elect
a treasurer and comptroller ind claim
majority i'll both council and assembly,
all of which is acknowledged by the
democrats, whose figures give Wright
500 majority.
