convention, and were declared the unan-
imOCs nominees.
P. r. Smith nominated John P. Hoag-
land for County Treasurer. Mr.. Hoag-
land received the full vote of the conven
ton.
j. B. Taylor was nominated for Sheriff,
and the nomination was made unanim-
Gus.
Mr. Healy nominated E. Semling for
County Auditor, and the nomination
was declared unanimous. I
Every wheel in the machine worked
smoothly up to this time, but when the
Office of Register of Deeds came up, a
bolt slipped loose and caught in the
gearing. Oliver Peterson was nominated
for Register of Deeds. D. P. Burkholder
got up to make another nomination, but
was choked off by the chair, who called
for the rising vote on Peterson. Natur-
ally, Peterson received nearly the full
vote of the convention. Mr.. Burkholder
got up to make his nomination, and
Delegate Patterson SAID he couldn't see
any use in doing this, al Mr.. Peterson
had been elected by a very large major
ity. Mr.. Burkholder entered a vigorous
kick on this manner of doing business.
The first man nominated and voted on
for any office, under this mode of pro-.
cedure, got all the votes, and the second
man stood no show. He wanted the
work of nominating all done over.
Mr.. Andrews remarked that the nomi.
nees had all been settled in caucus, and
there was no need to rehash it.
Mr.. Stewart said caucuses shouldn't
cut any figure, and that the work should
rightly be done in convention.
Mr.. Andrews said that to settle all
differences, he would move to suspend
the rules, and elect a Register of Deeds
by ballot.
Mr.. Patterson thought it would be.a
good idea to call Mr.. Peterson's nomin-
alton off, and do 1t over again.
MI. Burkholder insisted on his motion
to review all the nominations. He said,
and very truly, that the method of nomi-
mating one candidate and voting for him
without calling for other nominations,
didn't give a second candidate any
earthly show. He wanted all the candi-
dates for any office placed before the
convention, before any vote was taken.
Mr. Burkholder's stand presaged dan
ger to the caucus nominees-if his plans
were carried out-and the chair ruled
him out of order.
Mr. Burkholder then made an appeal
to the convention to sustain him. Mr..
Andrews hared up at Mr.. B~urkholder's
obstinacy in bucking the caucus, and
asked if Burkholder had come there to
raise a fuss, and that, if 50, he'd better
say so, imparting to shim a sort of tacit
invitation to get out, if he didn't like
the style of the convention.
Mr.. Smith moved that Burkholder's
motion to review the nominations be
tabled, and it was so decided.
MI. Burkholder then moved that, be-
| ginning with the Office of Register of
Deeds, all candidates for any Office
should be called for and placed before
the convention before any vote was
| taken, and the motion was carried.
Mr.. Burkholder then nominated Chas.
Glitechka as a candidate for Register of
deeds, IN addition to the candidate
already named.
Upon ballot, Mr.. Peterson received So
and Mr.. Glitschka Is votes.
This didn't suit VIM: Glitschke, sr.,
and he manifested a decided disposition
to bolt. Finally he electrified the con-
vention, by q~uerying with considerable
sarcasm, whether "Any more of the
Swedes or Norwegians present wanted
an Office"
Having frightened up the bolts, and sat
down upon the obstreperous delegates,
who wanted to have something to say,
the machine ran along smoothly again.
Walter Shelton and G. A. Mattson
we're nominated for Clerk of Court, and
Mr.. Shelton received 49 votes and Mr..
Mattson 16 votes.
Mr.. Barnes nominated A. T. Patterson
for States Attorney, and the nomina-
ton was made by reclamation.
A. j. Hanks was nominated for county
surveyor, and the nomination was made
by reclamation.
w. E. Andrews was nominated for
county judge, and the nomination was
made by reclamation.
For justices, A. D. Gray, G. A. Matt
son and Fred Sheldon were chosen, and
T. M. O'Connor, Jerry Sweeney, D.
P. Burkholder and Fred Jessel as con.
stables.
Mr.. Andrews moved that the central
committee and the candidates select a
new central committee, and that the
convention adopt the platform and reso-
lutions adopted by the jamestown con-
! rarf;op o~l %1o ~oo%;o, --.
