ROW IN COUNTY { CONVENTION
Fuller, Ferris, and Fleming
: Nominated Knives Ready
: for Them. r, d 4. -

Tie republican legislative conven.
tion for the 48th district met at the
court house Wednesday afternoon.
N. Fl. Ingersoll. of Brainerd, called
the convention to order motion
was made that Mr.. Ingersoll be
elected temporary chairman. Mr..
Buckman asked to be allowed to
make proposition in the interests
Of harmony, but was turned down.
Mr.. Ingersoll was then elected tenn
porary chairman and Sam Adair
temporary secretary. Mr.. Buckman
then addressed the convention and
delivered q scathing address. in
which. the Fuller faction. were ex'
coriated. Messrs. Rhodes and Blan-
chard spoke, but did not deny the
charges made.
A Committee on, credentials was
appointed, which of course seated
the Fuller delegates as follows:
Crow Wing-N. 81. Ingersou, F. B.
johnson, $. Adair. J. G. Davis, F. 5.
Parker, J. L. Berg, Harry Patterson,
T. W. Crawford, VIM. Bredfield.

Rhodes, Henry Allen, I. 81. Misfeldt,
c. G. Close, I. E. Staples, Frank

Wilson, F. F. Turner.
{: The temporary organization was
made permanent.
W.M Fuller was nominated for
senator and A. F. Ferris and ". A.
Fleming for representatives. There
was scarcely any applause.
The chairman was authorized to
appoint a legislative committee OF
five after consultation with the can
didates.
Senator Davis was not endorsed, q
remarkable action due to Mr.. Ferris,
OF Brainerd, who knows that the
working men of Brainerd have no
love for Mr.. Davis.
The convention then adjourned.

There was g. warm time at the re.
publican caucuses throughout the
county last Friday night. In the
city an unusually big vote was
polled. OF course, Fuller men did
everything possible to save the pur-
ity of the ballot, in one town
throwing, out the ballots and start
ing over again; in another (Buh) not
allowing a large party of republica ns
to vote; in another, the Judges elec-
ted themselves delegates. The Buck
man people have depositions which
show the Outrageous manner in
which Fuller secured his delegates.
In tho city, Buckman carried the
first and second wards, the former
by fifty and the ttersby one: When
the returns showed that Buckman
had carried Bellevue, Belle Prairie
and Ripley, the F uller men thought
defeat was at hand, and began to
talk Of how they would Ak Buchanan.
The result in Bellevue was q great
personal victory for T. W. Bouck and
torsSwansen, and in Belle Prairie
for Barome Doucette. By midnight
Buckman had 50 delegates assured. :.
Then reports Of the Fuller tactics
came in, and the Buckman men be-
came dubious. Il Is claimed that
even ii Buck had carried alf the
outside precincts, the convention
would have been manip pulated
against him. AS soon as the Full
Ter delegates came in Saturday
morning they were corralled and
guarded until the INVENTION OPP
ened.
a striking Z mentary on the
condition Of the local republican
party is found in tie, fact that Sher-.
id Rider had four, deputies sworn ii TO
keep the peace az the convention.
The Fuller men sat on tho i9ht hand

delegates across the aisle. good

Out for Office.

Out for ONCE.
The call for the democratic county
convention to nominate county ot-
ticers is published in this issue. The
date is Oct. 18th. We understand
the republican convention will be
called for Oct. 18th. The campaign
will be much shorter than usual this
year. There has been considerable
talk about candidates, though in
some cases candidates. have not
gone much farther than talk.
For. auditor on the republican
ticket Mr.. Nichols is almost certain
of denomination, although his
friendship for Mr.. Buckman will not
cause the Fuller faction to enthuse
over him. Yet Mr.. Nichols was quite
neutral in the senatorial campaign.
On the democratic side, while several
names have been suggested, il is not.
settled who will be presented for
the Office.
Fur register OF deeds Mr.. Gaudet
will have to fight Geo. Lafond for
the republican nomination. 1t is q
question, since Lafond failed to hold
the French towns for Fuller, whether
he could carry them against Gaudet.
Lafond is hard worker, however,
and if he means business, Gaudet
has q job on his hands. 5@On the.
democratic side there are a number OF
candidate for register, among them
some strong men,.
For. county treasurer Jos. l..
Meyer does not appear to have any
opposition on the democratic side.
J. j. jacobson and 81. s. Hill are
mentioned for the place on the other
side. =,
b. N. Harding is opposing Judge
Richardson for the republican NOM
ination for Judge Of probate. He
has tackled a big job, as has Daua
Brown, who is trying to wrest the
nomination for clerk of court away
from Lyman Signor. The democrats
may nominate a well-known country
democrat for Judge OF probate. For
clerk of court S. P. Brick has at
present no opposition on the dem.
ocrauic side. 49,. 49,. ..teI..., 2ss.s,
Sheriff Rider will likely be renom-
Einated. NJ. M. Richardson is in the
field for the democratic nomination..
He would be strong candidate.
Frank Lindbergh: is after the re-
publican nomination for county at

have similar aspirations. 5t.!.. 55.z
