REPUBLICANS ANNOUNCE SLATE
White Will Again Be Renominated for
Governor in North Dakota.
'peCiaI to The Globe

Governor in North Dakota.
Special to The Globe.
FARGO, N. D., July 21.-Congress-
man, Spalding; supreme bench, Coch-
rane, of Grand Forks; governor, White,
Barnes; for lieutenant governor, Bart
lett, of Griggs; for secretary of state,
Porter, of Foster; for treasurer, Nc
MILAN, of Cavalier; for commissioner
of insurance, LuetZ, of Morton; for
commissioner of agriculture, Turner,
of Stark; for auditor, Holmes, of Penn
bina; for attorney general, Erich, of
Nebon; for superintendent of public
instruction, StOckwell, of Walsh; for
railroad commissioners, Shea, Rich
land; Lord, Towner; SchatZ, Wells.
The above is the slate announced at
midnight by administration committee
in the North Dakota Republican con-
vention which meets here Wednesday.
Leaders of the party concluded to get
in on the ground floor, and headquar-
tiers have been established by many
candidates since Saturday night, with
the result that everything seems to be
tied up sixty hours ahead of calling the
convention to order.
Old-time precedent of North Dakota
to renominate governors will, in all
probability, be broken, and White will
go in again with a whoop. All the rest
of the administration ticket had been
determined on for some time, except
attorney general, superintendent of
public instruction and one railroad
commissioner.
The necessity of having a Scandina-
Wan representation on the ticket is all
that caused any doubt regarding the
makeup of the ticket, and Firch, of
Nelson county, seems the solution to
the problem. He is favored by his
home delegation, is a protege of Sena-
tor Hansbrough and regarded as one of
the brightest lawyers in the north half
of the state.
StockwelTs nomination is popular
with the slatemakers, but he will have
to secure the Endorsement of the Walsh
county delegation. This seems easy, as
he heads the delegation, which is a
combination affair for Libby, for attor-
ney general, or Brown for railroad
commissioner.
The question of locality is so strong
ly urged against Libby, which would
thrown all members of the equaliZa-
ton board in one corner of the state,
that his nomination seems impossible
and the necessity of some representa-
ton on the ticket will result in Schatz,
of Wells, being given a place rather
than Stockwell, of Walsh. The dele
cation is anti-Sarles and may indorse
Stockwell.
A more confident set of politicians
were never assembled than the sup
which claims anywhere from 500 to 600
of the 744 delegates.
The supporters of Sarles claim that
the White people are entirely too OPP
timistic and are claiming delegations
not yet represented here and will not
concede Whites nomination. All the
afternoon and up to IL o'clock tonight
Sarles counted on the support of
Spalding and Cass county, largely
from the old time friendship between
the counties in former conventions,
and some of Sarles friends went so
far as to announce that If Cass was
for White, Sarles would abandon his
candidacy. This was unauthorized
however, and when the Sarles crowd
became convinced that Cass was in
the White column they were hostile
and wanted to vent their wrath on
Spalding by springing a new congress
sional candidate and forming a COM
bination with Marshall and one or two
state office holders to secure the de-
feat of a Fargo man, as was done two
years ago at Grand Forks. Little head
way was made and the methods used
in going after Marshall are said to
have lost Sarles some support that had
been conceded him.
Jud Lamoures declaration that he
was for White first, last and all the
time has done much to pave the way
to the denomination of the governor
AT the same time, LamOure is extreme
ly friendly to SarleS in personal way
and late tonight was reported in con-
ference with Sarles, advising the Trail
county man to withdraw from the
gubernatorial race this year, and also
10 call off his men who wanted Spald-
ing's scalp, so SarleS would be the
candidate for governor two years hence
with the united support of the valley
Some of Sarles' friends feel that the
plan would be a good one.
Lieut.. Gov Bartlett, who is in train
ing for the gubernatorial nomination
two years hence, and his friends are
said to oppose conciliatory methods
regarding Sarles as inimical to Bart
LETT The friends of Cochrane for thu
supreme bench are apparently working
with the administration slate all thu
way through, and so far as can b.
learned no other candidate is consid
cred for the place.
A caucus has been called for tomor
row morning of chairman from al
counties having candidates withou
opnosition. The estimated strength o
such combination is sufficiently larg
to control the convention, and nam
the governor, as well as other contest
ed offices. Many of the unopposed can
didates will not go into such deal
however, as they are tied up witt
White, and would demand his renomi
nation offhand. It is expected that be
fore 10 o'clock tomorrow announce
ment will be made of the Withdraw
of Sarles, and the proposed caucu
will then be called off. Late tonight i
was reported that if Sarles did with
draw TrailI county was to have tn
game warden, and If the delegation
wanted it, there might be show 70
denomination of Holland, ex-superin
tendent of public instruction.
