Willmar tribune., 1898-06-28

his pOsition-whether Van SAINT or
anti-Van Sant-before the ballot was
taken. Henry Feig opened with a
speech in which he nominated Editor
Crosby as a man who has been able
to stomach everything the party has
diShea up for twenty years and never
became sea sick. He was vouched for
t" be An anti-Van SAINT man. The
speaker also took occasion to give
the WinOna man few Knockout
Flows, which brought Hans Peterson
OF Wi;lmar to his feet with a point Of
order. But AS Mr.. Feig is pretty near
tn: whole thing while he has the floor
We finished first and Hans stated his
point s:f order afterwards. A. E. Rice
very shrewdly then moved to make
Mr.. Crosby's election unanimous by
,lcclamati The convention thus
acclaimed and in a twinkliny John
Malmberg of Atwater was elected like
wise, also Mr.. Rice himself. There
were good many noes heard on the
latter however, and rising vote was
demanded, but the chairman held that
the ayes had it. This brought Mr..
Railson to his feet with vigorous pro-
tests. 1--WE have not come down Is
miles to elect delegates without know
ing what they are going to do. In
that case we could as we'll stay at
home. We don't want any bosses to
rule over u.s."
The chairman remained firm how
ever and no move was made to recon-
slider the vote.
Mr.. Railson's demand was there
after respected however and every
proposed candidate was called on to
sing his little song.
When Prof. Fink's name was pro-
posed he declined going on, his rea-
son being that he had not made up
his mind who he would favor for

trem of New London was then substi-
tuted, the convention being assured
Mr.. Feig nominated P. A. Gandrud,
the Suuburgh merchant, as a man who
had been instrumental in convert
ing (?) Norway Lake from populist
stronghold to a republican Gibraltar.
When H. P. Lofgren was nominated,
Mr.. Crosby quickly nominated G. J.
Hanson of Pennock an opposing can
didate, evidently with the wicked de-
sire of seeing how completely victor
ious his faction had become. The
vote resulted as follows: Hanson, IS;
Lofgren, 26.
