sone politicians as to whether the state
central committee will take hold of the
matter, as suggested by the district
convention. Chairman Hancock has in
sisted that the state central committee
would do nothing in any way which
could be judged as having bearing on
the senatorial contest. It Is claimed that
both Grim and Cory are Gear men, all
though this statement has been denied
in some quarters. In any event, the sen
atorial question may enter largely into
the selection of the nomine if the selec-
ton is made by the state central com
mittee.
The convention at Emmetsburg has
been one of the most peculiar ever held
in the state. The convention first met
in the latter part of July. More than
1000 ballots We're then taken without a
change. An adjournment was then ta-
ken until August 9. In the interim the
three candidates agreed to release their
delegates from their instructions. This
had no effect, however, for when the
convention again met, there was no
change, each delegation standing by the
candidate for whom it had first voted.

Lake Park, Aug. Pit is very diff

smallpox case at our neighboring town
of Round Lake. Railroad men who
come through the town daily, say that
the two patients, the doctor and his
wife, are being cared for in the school
house, which is surrounded by armed
guards, allowing no one to enter or
leave the school house grounds. 1t
seems that the doctors child, which has
since died with unmistakable signs of
smallpox, was nursed at the beginning
of the sickness by several good-hearted
women, and that small children We're
allowed also to visit the sick child, SO
that the future is more feared than the
present. 1t is also commonly reported
(though. your correspondent does not

the first case was vaccinated virus OBJ

ed. The Humboldt men wanted noth-
ing so much as to defeat Kent and
nominate man who could be relied on
to support Gear, Kent being regarded
as q Cummins man in case Dolllver is
not in the race.
The first day resulted in nothing ex-
cept long series of ballots on every
one of which Pocahontas voted eight
votes for Kent. and Humboldt voted
for either R. j. johnson of this town
or NJ. E. DeWolf of Pocahontas Cen
ter. On the opening ballot Bob John
son received the Humboldt votes, and
the delegates from this county stayed
with him for long time, believing
they could make break in the Poca-
hontas delegation and nominate. But
the Pocahontas men Were not to be
moved. Then the Humboldt people
tried new plan. After a conference
lit was determined to spring a surprise
and try to stampede Pocahontas away
from Kent. When the next ballot was
taken the results were announced:
Humboldt county, eight votes,'
called out the secretary.
Humboldt county votes it's eight
votes for NJ. Z. DeWolf of Pocahontas
county," announced the chairman of
the delegation. 1t was unexpected to
either the spectators or the Pocahontas
delegates. There was a hum of excite
ment. and then the secretary called:
"Pocahontas county, eight votes
The Pocahontas chairman rose at the
call. and the hall was so still that the
proverbial pin-drop would have startled
the listeners.
"Pocahontas county casts its eight
votes for Col. j. b. Kent" responded
| the Pocahontas chairman. in voice
which suggested no wavering.
The next ballot was repetition. and
| for long time the votes We're cast in
this way. But it was impossible to
move Pocahontas, and no result was
secured until the 407th ballot. on the
second day. On that ballot one of the
I Humboldt delegates insisted on cast
i ing his vote for Kent, although this as
4 sured kent's nomination, the other
members of the delegation void not get
/ into the band wagon. and the vote was
announced:
Seven votes for R. ]. johnson and
one vote for ]. B. Kent
1t was all over but the shouting. The
nomination was made unanimous. and
the convention adjourned.
