Mortified, who was seeking to lead
the lost tribes away from the shoal
water and dead fish of Duluth
suggested that the Sixth district was
mt only for forestry and mines.
The Duluth delegation went into the
air as though animated by a heavy
charge of giant powder, and when it
came down, Mr.. Moses, and the candi-
dacy of Senator ice Roach, whom he
was championing. both looked as
though they had been in close COM
munion with the working parts Of a
well-trained trick mule.
1t was Interesting while it lasted. To
go back to the source of the trouble LET
1t be said that the term of J. ]. Furlong.
OF the board of managers, expired YES
terday. He wanted to be reelected but
ne saw that 1T was not in the cards. so
he quietly laid down his hand and
passed his cards to Henry Burkett. of
ms own county, Mower, who, he told
the convention, was good fellow and
ought to be pushed. c. p. Goodrich. Of

the meeting and stated that he was
from Carlton county. but that he was

OF that modest municipality, Duluth.

II they couldn't get what they wanted,
they would have to take what they
could get. They appealed to the Mon
roe doctrine, but without going into
any details about it, Mr. Bede changed
the topic to that of immigration. say
ing that all the immigrants would have
to settle in the northern part of the
state anyway. En- PEASANT, he paid
a graceful compliment to the second
vice president, D. r. McGinnis, stating
that while he had heard some preju-
dice expressed by the farmers. he felt
no hesitation in saying that Mr. Nc
GinniS had done as much to increase
the population of Minnesota as any
man in it. The Sixth district was the
greatest in the state He wished the
members of the society could come up
to that part of the state where God
had planted the crops and they were
being harvested with steam Shoyels
He nominated Jerome E. Cooley, of
Duluth. Mr.. Bede's speech was greet
ed with generous applause, but the CO.
1aborers from st. Louis county knew
that applause did not count as much
as votes, and as some of the delegates
from the southern part of the state
wanted to take the 40 train, they
talked until Ali. DR.. c. A Kelsey. of
Brook Park farm, near Hinckley, and
Mr.. Potter Of Aitkin, were the chief
filibusters.
1t was at the close of Mr. Potter's
address that Mr.. Moses, in seconding
Mr.. Roach's nomination, made the re-
mark about the Sixth district which
stirred DuluthanS to frenzy
DR.. Kelsey started to speak in reply,
with disguise Of good nature, but
before he sat down he had said that
the man who spoke against the agri-
cultural resources of any part of the
state was ignoble and an enemy of
the state at large. 1t was time to rel
egate to the dim and misty past the
croakers and fault finders who could
not see out of their own charmed cir

but he could not refrain from remark
ing, in an easily audible tone, that the
man who spoke of the Sixth district
that way only showed his ignorance
and ought to hang his head in shame.
Mr.. Potter called Mr.. Moses attention
to the fact that his county, Aitkin, had
a $500 exhibit at the last fair, and that
| the first prize for an agricultural ex-
hibit went to one of the counties of the
Sixth district.
Mr.. Moses, evidently misunderstand-
ing, rejoined that, perhaps, that was
why it cost $780,
That made the people from the Sixth
hotter than ever; and, in fact, had the
effect of solidifying the whole state
north Of the Twin Cities in favor Of
Duluth's candidate, although Mr..
Moses tried to explain that his refer
cnces to the district were meant that it
was adapted for mining and forestry
more than for agriculture
Mr.. Larsen, for Duluth, refused to ac-
cept the apology, stating that Mr.. Moses
had only added to his former. sin, and
that he would be willing to pay his fare
to that part OF the state and back lust
to enligftei him as to the resources of
