slight hitch, Bronson Strain, of Otter
Tail, j. Z. Hall, of Blue Earth, S. B.

suited in giving Molander a good deal

Bayer, of Clay; B. NJ. Dow. of Murray,
and Basil Smout, of Faribault, were

MIR. Turrell wanted SmOut elected 10y
accamation, but Mr.. Markham objected,
and the fourth ballot elected -Smout, he
receiving 80 votes to j. NJ. Bayer 10,

IA. Butler Is and Sloan 5. Mr.. Wells,
on the next ballot. receiving SO votes
out of 81.
When the Office of chfplain was
reached there was wild rush for the
floor. Rev. ], c. Fertiu, of Merriam
Park. and Rev. Asa Turner and Rev. E.
r. Hawley, of st. Paul, were placed in
the field with Endorsements of their
Republicanism that were considerably
stronger than had been put forward in
behalf of the candidates for other Of
fees. Rev. l. G. Forth was elected on
the first ballot.
This completed the list. and, on mo.
ton of Mr.. Boggs, a vote of thanks was
given the officers of the caucus. Mr..

enough to tell that he presumed he had
been selected because of his great VIC
tory OF last fall.
