The Republican county convention
Tuesday was amoSG enthusiastic and
harmonious gathering, despite the
fact that there were many candidates.
No bad blood developed, and the out
look for the campaign is full of prom
Use. Much interest centered on sena-
tor, and the Weaver hosts were ably
handled by w. n. Plymat and j. D..
Hall.
The election of DR.. Andrews as
chairman was the first victory won by
the Barr forces. The DR.. made a
splendid presiding officer.
The convention was called to order
at 11:l5 o'clock by Chairman B. D..
Smith, of the county committee,
and secretary aB. Bangerter in his
place. The latter read the official
call. The hall was well filed, all the
delegates seats being occupied, and a
number of spectators filled the rear OF
the hall.
w. n. Plymat nominated 9. O..
Spaulding as chairman, and DR.. Gull
len named DR.. j. w. Andrews. Thos.
Hughes called for division Of the
house, and motion by him to that
effect was carried without opposition.
DR.. Andrews was elected, 81 to As,
and took the chair. He said that
this was neither the time nor place
for an extended speech, but as we
looked upon the delegates, represen-
ting the grandest party ever existing,
he felt the honor placed upon him to
be no usual one, and he woulde ndeavor
to fill the position with satisfac-
tion.
Walter McBroom was elected tenn
porary secretary without opposition.
B. Bangerter was nominated, but de-
clined to allow the use of his name.
]. E. Hall moved that committee
of five on credentials be appointed.
this was carried, and the chair ap-
pointed the following committee:
Thos. Hughes, Mankato; j. B. Wag-
ner, Eagle Lake; w. r. Cullen, Lake
Crystal; A. G. Wilbur, Vernon VIM.
Craig Danville.
w. n. Plymat moved that a COM
mittee of five be appointed on perma-
nent organization and order of bust
ness.
L. Lampert moved that proxies be
required to be either from the ward
or township in which the delegate
represented is located.
w. N. Plymat opposed this motion,
claiming that it savored of gag law.
The motion was carried by vote of
IS to 80.
This throwing Mr.. Plymat out from
his delegateship, ]. E. Hall renewed
Mr.. Plymat's motion that the chair
appoint a committee on permanent
organization and order of business,
and this was again carried.
