AS soon as the committee made its
report H. Newbert was on his feet
making motion that the candidate
endorsed be allowed to select the
delegates to- attend the district conven-
tion. DR.. Nichols rose to a point. of
order, stating that he was not aware
that a permanent organization had
been effected and the chair saw the
point The doctor then moved that
the temporary organization be made
permanent, which was carried. The
Rev. O. P. Olin then moved that the
delegates to the district convention be
chosen by a committee to consist of
one delegate from each precinct. The
motion was put and the chair declared
it lost and a division OF the house was
called for which was denied. This
caused considerable hard feelings, for
although the Milaca boys felt that
their candidate would be defeated later
in the convention, they also felt that
| they were entitled to fair treatment.
| Mr. Mark should not be blamed for
this action, but rather few of his
short-sighted fool friends, who seemed
determined to run things with high
hand and did so at the expense of har-
mony.
The next question was to decide
whom the convention favored for rep
resentative and Emmet Mark received
the unanimous vote of all present.
The chair then announced the follow
ing gentlemen as the delegation to at
tend the district convention, at Elk

helm, Anson Howard. NJ. E. Northway.
L. S. Libby, R. H. Sleeves and Nathan
Orton.
Judge Searle's candidacy received
the hearty Endorsement of the dele
gates present and when the election
rolls around Mile Lacs will be found
solidly in line for him.
A resolution was introduced and
adopted by unanimous vote endors-
ing the public acts of our junior sem
nator, Hon. Knute Nelson, and recon-
mending his reelection at the coming
session of the legislature. This ended
the business OF the convention and an
adjournment followed.
A. C. Wilkes, the Milaca candidate,
was seen after the convention and said
that he was not sore, for he realized
that he would have been defeated in
the convention had his name been pre-
lsented. but would like to have been
recognized by the chair as residing,
with his friends on the Milaca delega--
tion, in some part of Mile Lacs county.
2r. One of Harvey's Dreams.
1t is reported from Milaca that dur
ing a recent thunderstorm there, light
ming struck the barber shop of the vii
lage tonsorial artist. Alarmed and
frightened he jumped from his bed in
the shop and began wildly shooting
his revolver through the panels of his
front door. He thought somebody was
trying to get into his castle.-G Cloud
