The chair also said that the com
mi,tee would meet in the rear of the
hall after the evening session.
Chairman SpaldiDg said that $50 tick
cts had been issued in excess If the
seating capacity of the hall. AS there
have been empty seats at both set sions
MIR. Spaltling made molten to have the
d ors 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 Hmmttees
Chairman Boucher submitted tho re
port for the committee on credentials,
endorsing and seating the delegates re.
ported by the state central committee,
and moved its adoption.
p. j. McCumtcr Of PichlaId moved
20 ame nd the report by providing dele
gates from Walsh county, instead OF
Burkc delegat 4, in whose favor the
committee reported.
Dana Of Bottineau moved that the
original motion and amendment te laid
upon the table. His motion was after
w.rl w.thdrIwn.
Considerable discussion arose as to
the rules uoder which the convention
was lahoring. 1t was plainly shown
thst the Allin men were hostile and in
tended taking every opT o;tunity to
obstruct the procee dirgs Of the oonyen
ton.
Judge Cochrane OF Grand Farks then
arose and made a stirring speech
relative to the opposition, aud strongly
opposed tho motion of Mr.. McCumber
He urged that the decision Ct the state
Central committee be7accepted. as it was
composed OF men who were appointed
before any partisanship came into the
campaign.
This stirred Mr.. McOumbcr to high
degree of excitement, and he at oncs se-
cured the hur to mako a sarcastic
speech. He limited at many things and
made no charges. His speeoh was full
of general and personal spite.
Judge Cochruno came back ut Nc
Cumber and gave an intelligent argu
ment sustaining the state central com.
mittee and the committee on credentials
in regard to the result Of the Walsh
county delegation. He slid that ths
state committee had spent two days in
investigating the matter an1 their opin.
ions are unquestionel.
McCumber started in again and Grant
:. Hager called to point of order, Stat
by any delegation 'before the meeting Of
the committee.
| Upon tho request If the chair Chair
man Spalling explained the situation
thoroughly by stating that no charges
Of any nature whatever h,d b en- laid
beiore the stute central committee.
The only difficulty that existed in
the Walsh county contest was the fact
that two delegations we're sent down t.
the convention, and that the state com
mittee had merely been investigating to
SEQ which delegation was properly
elected.
McCumher With fi:rce scowl arose
and assailed the personal verscity and
standing of the officials OF the state cen
trail committee, ami made number of
insinuatioas regarding the caucuses
held in Walsh county. Mr.. McCumber
made some insinuat!ons against Gov.
rrnor Bnrke which we're resented by
Alex Hughes of Burleieh. McCumber
c.me back and stated that lie had moi
sssailed the character of the governor,
and would not for anything.
Then followed o running fire OF Gues.
tons and answers to The chair.
Good win OF Ransom, speaking for the
minority of the state centrll committee,
spoke in favor Of McCumbcr's ameLd-
ment.
Grant Hsger arose to point of order
and asked that Goodwin he called down
as he was not from Walsh county.
The chair finally ruled that That point
OF order was we'll taken.
Judge Ccctrane cut off all further
discussion by again. .oAlling to point of
order. He asked whether or not the
committee on credentials had beea
presented with list of delegates
other than those presented by
the state central committee.
Being informed that none had, the
chair arose and explained that it was
not responsible for any mistakes that
may have been made by any of the con
tesfants and the point of order raised
by Judge Cochrane was in order
After dus deliberatioa the CHAR
stated that it was compelled to decide
that McCumber's amendment was en-
tircly out of order.
The first roll call was
