New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-03-25
Springfield Republicans Resent the Action
and Well They May.

New Ulm Delegation Gobbles Most Of the
Places for Minneapolis and Mankato.
The Republican County Convention
which assembled at Springfield Saturday
morning to elect delegates to the state
and congressional convention was a snap
and one sided affair. Itwas said to have
been enthusiastic, but that was only be-
cause the New Ulm delegation, headed
by Samuel D, Peterson, whom the Re-
publicans of the district refused to elect
to the senate two years ago, was strong
enough to have things its own way, and
hogglshly determined to do so. Assis-
ted by some from Sleepy Eye, and som e
from the country, they wentinto the con-
vention, refused to consider such men as
| Oscar Erickson, Fl. c. Warnke, julius
Westinghaus, Martin Mueller, w. G.
Frank, and other well-known Republi-
can workers, gave John Lind a slap in
the face, instructed themselves for Nc
Kinley and then adjourned with the
foolish idea that they had done heap
to build up the Republican party in
Brown county. 1t may be that they
aid, but if so it will have been the fun
niest way or arriving at success on re-
cord
