Radke. After receiveing the report
of the committees on permanent or
ganization and order Of business, the
convention proceeded to write on slips
Of paper the man of their choice for
an informal ballot; this brought out
several candidates among them being
Thos. Dow, S. Eylofson. Paul John
SOD, Geo. Emerson, j. Conmee and
j. Heller. On the fourth informal
and final ballot, J.Heller, was In the
lead with q score of % votes. At this
point after the ballos was counted and
before it was announced, Jas. Dobie
moved that there be no choice made
at this time and they adjourn until
the Goth, this raised regular storm
of oppos't ion, and Mr.. ]. 4. West Of
Crystal said that as Mr.. Heller was
plainly the choice OF the convention
he did not think 1t right or proper for
the convention to consider such a
motion. The motion was put and
lost. A motion to adjourn for Is
minutes carried, and pandemonium
reigned supreme.
On reassembling, chairman Dow de-
clared J. Heller the nominee of the
convention. At the close of the Leg
islative convention the third com.
missioner district convention was
called to order. On motion of ].
Dobie, Yhos. Dow was retained as
chairman and G. j. Lutes, secretary.
On motion of James Doble the con-
vention adjourned until the Goth.

would promise three things. first, that
he would not accept pass from Jim
Hill, second, that he would vote right
on all questions, last but not least,
he would vote for woman suffrage aud
was willing to ride a mule all the way
to Bismarck.
Hon. James Dobie did not like the
way his motion was turned down but
was we'll pleased with the outcome of
the third commissioner district con-
vention.
The strife INDUCED in at the con-
vention left some very sore spots in
the party that it will take some time
to heal.
Chairman Dow was at sea several
times and found it necessary to Go re-
quest speakers to use temperate Ian
guage.
1t is said that in order to have peace
and harmony that it is necessary for
the nominee in the End district to be
an Icelander. but of course mistakes
are liable to occur in the best Of regu-
lated families.
After the convention adjourned the
delegates asked each other, where are
