The delegate who wrote the resolutions.
The brother of "Black Jack" here
moved that the first ballot taken be
declared formal ballot. S. E. Lank-
ard of Vesta was opposed to the mo-
ton, saying that it went against all
precedents, and that the convention
should have an informal ballot. G.
Fred Thompson made a motion to
that effect, which was offered as sub
stitute for Knights motion, and it was
carried. "The opposition scores," re-
marked Mr.. Knight.
w. F. Dickinson of Redwood Falls
moved that the chair appoint five tel
lers, and the motion meeting with no
opposition, Chairman Tretbar appoint
ed John Street of Lamberton, Francis
S. Pollard of Redwood Falls, F. W.
Damp Of Walnut Grove,W. F. Knight
OF North Hero and Horace G.. Eaton
OF Morgan.
Following the motion of Mr.. Dick
inson came another from E. G. Patter-
son to the effect that the convention
proceed to nominate officers in accord
ance with the published call The
motion also went through and the
fear that the offices would be gerry
wandered was allayed,
Then the fun began, The first
Office was representative. D. Mclean
nominated G.. E. Mckay, and the
nomination was seconded by George
Gilland of Brookville. Mr.. Mclean
stated that Mr.. Mckay was a sound
business man, a man of respect, and a
vote-getter.
A. G. Dolliff nominated James Lar
son of BrookvilIe. Mr.. Dolliff was
youthfully eloquent in making his
nominating speech. He said that
it was the desire Of every Republican
to have a vote-getter for the place,
to have man who would always be
found representing, not only Redwood
county, but the interests of the State
at large, man who would not be on
the market to be bought aud sold and
and man that was farmer. The

the honor conferred upon him. he
stated that the nomination was in di
rect opposition to sectionalism.
He hoped that the convention would
work for candidates that would be o1

party, and be also hoped that there

40. Gimmestad of Belview was
placed in nomination for the position
of temporary secretary. There was nc
opposition to his candidacy and he
was nominated by acclamation. I'm
mediately following this H. G. Fergu-
son of Morgan moved that the chair
man appoint committee of five, one
from each commissioner district on Gre
dentials. The motion was in order
and carried. The chairman announc-
ed that he would appoint Simon L.
Dotson of Charlestown, Arthur Ken
ney of Paxton, W. F. Knight of North
Hero, w. B. King of Redwood Falls
and J. M. Thompson of Kintire as
such committee. It is we'll to remark
here that there were no contests and
consequently the committee could un-
seat no one. A committee on resolu-
tions was called for and Chas. Chester
of Lamberton, E. G. Patterson of Red
wood Falls, F. NJ. Damp of Walnut
Grove were named. A recess of one
hour followed.
During the noon hour the wire pull
ing was continued. The candidates
having opposition we're kept running
between hotels and restaurants, just
to learn whether the opposition was
plugging delegates. Whether any
changes were made during that hour
is not known.
It was 35 when Chairman Tretbar
raped the convention to order for the
final session. He made a couple OF
announcements, after which W. B
King read the report of the committee
on credentials, 1t was adopted. The
delegates entitled to seats were as
follows:
Brookville-Hans O.. Peterson, Lars
Walter and Geo. Gilland.

that these writer's and speakers have
