0HAND Turks, July lI.-lOptCldl
Tclegram.l-The day has been a busy
one. The opponents OF M. N. John
son have been active and while they
have made some headway they will
not succeed in accomplishing his de-
feat. LaMoure is opposed to johnson.
II in the combination for Bulge on
the start lie is out Of it now and de-
clares himself opposed to all combina-
tiOns and In favor of a clean republic
can ticket, nominated by the people
and for the people, and that IL such a
ticket is nominated Pembina's 1900
republican voters are with the party
to the end. He will characterize the
defeat of bartholomew as a Northern
Pacific move and the ticket as
Northern Pacific ticket. From pres
ent indications Bartholomew will be
defeated and Lauder nominated.
The Fourth district delegates met
this afternoon and flfty-four of them
agree to stand solid for Lauder.
This result was brought about
by McCumbcr's opposition to
Johnson. This force will practically
dictate the state ticket and in my
judgment Lauder will be nominated.
Nichols is by all odds the stronger
candidate for treasurer. Briggs may
be nominated for auditor. Miss Bates
has clear sailing for superintendent
of schools.
The great struggle is over the nom-
ination of state treasurer, the bone
OF contention being the deposits. At
the present time the deposits amount
to about sl5e,OOO. They run as high
as 830O,OO While the funds can not
bc loaned they are an advantage to
any bank securing them and incl
dcntally to the business interests in
the town where the bank is located,
for they count as reserve. The
lie lding candidates are Budgeof Grand
Forks, Nichols OF Cass, Nelson Of
Traill and Briggs of Morton. La
Moure is in combination with Bulge
and his success means LaMourc's sue
cess.
Allin will be nominated for gov
ernor by acclamation. There is no
opposition to him that can be at all
effective. Some of Governor Burkc's
friends will feel hurt by this, but
Allin is an honorable man and, hav-
ing the confidence Of all classes, will
make the strongest possible candidate
for the position.
Senator Ink has opened up fierce
campaign against M. N. Johnson in
favor of Hon. T. j. McCumbcr for
congress. and while it seemed to gain
hcadway at first, the second thought
brings hot opposition. The delegates
allege the defeat OF johnson, for a re-
nomination would carry disaster into
every county in the state, defeating
both state and county tickets at the
polls. 1t would be credited to the
railroads, and no explanation could
make it appear otherwise. Nc
Cumber is good man, a strong man,
a brilliant man, and would be an
honor to the state II elected, but he
would lead the party to defeat II sub
stituted for johnson this year.
There is opposition to Bartholomew:
there is strong feeling for Lauder
for the supreme court. But Bar
tholomew would be the stronger man
on the ticket. He has been tried and
not found wanting.
There is little talk OF other posi-
tiOns. Dahl for secretary of state
meets with favorable consideration.
Two years ago he was elected when
others we're overwhelmed with defeat.
He has made good officer and ought
to be renominated, Senator Worst
and Roderick johnson are spoken Of
for lieutenant governor. Worst is
the better campaigner but Roderlck
johnson comes from strong county
and the valley counties all know him.
The republican league meeting yes.
terday shows disposition to thor
oughly organize, and victories are
won through organization.
