Special to The Journal.
Bismarck, N. D., July 1.-Enough of the
county conventions have been held
through the state to indicate the tenor of
political events. From a review Of the
delegations named to- the state conven-
ton, the probabilities at the present
time are as follows: - -.
For Governor-Frank White.
Lieutenant Governor-David Bartlett Of
Griggs. - II
Congressmen-T. F. Marshall Of Dickey and
b. F. Spalding of Cass.
Sec~ctnsy of State-E. F. Porter Of Foster.
State Auditor-H. L. Holmes of Pembina.
Treasurer-D. H. Mcmillan of Cavalier.
Commissioner of Insurance-Ferd Leutz OF
Morton.
Commissioner of Agricuture-R. ]. Turner
1f Stark.
A good many of the slope conventions
have been held, among them being Stark,
Morton and Mcintosh. Morton has named
Ferd Leutz as its standard bearer in the
convention, and the present insurance
commissioner seems pretty sure OF re-
nomination. Morton will probably be in
with the winning combination, and If this
IS the case, Leutz will be it's man. Stark
has named Senator L. A. Simpson as the
chairman Of its state delegation, turning
down A. G. McGillivray, who went into
the Stark county fight against White.
Some feeling has been aroused as the re-
suit of the Stark county convention be-
tween McGillivray and R. J. Turner, the
present commissioner of agriculture. Nc
Gillivray relied upon the support Of Tur-
ner in his fight against White, but Tur-
ner refused to go into a fight against
White, holding he was member of the
administration and he could not afford to
make war on the head of 1t. The Stark
county delegation will be for Turner for
denomination.
White in the Lead,
White seems to have a good lead for
the governorship. sarles is popular and
admittedly a good man, but it seems to
be the general opinion that he went into
khe race too late and is handicapped
Cass county is generally put in the White
column. The slope promises to be pretty
well lined up for White, when the show
down comes. Mclean county may be
against him, as John Satterlund. the po-
1itical leader of that county, is opposed
to White and in favor Of Sarles. There
is some claim that Cass county's delega-
tion is divided on the governorship, and
that a good share of it will be for Sarles
Opposed to this is the report that Hag-
CART, who was turned down, wanted to be
on the Cass county delegation against
white and for Sarles. Griggs county has
come out for White, and David Bartlett,
lieutenant governor. heads the delegation.
/ 'Hansbrough Marshall, Spalding and
and If this is the case, they will go into
the state convention with a strong fol-
/ lowing.
AS to the willy Jud.
Notwithstanding the withdrawal of Jud
LaMoure from the congressional race and
the passage Of resolutions by Pembna
county which indicate that he desires
only denomination for the state senate,
it is the impression with a good many Of
the political leaders of the state that La
Moure may come out as a candidate for
governor, in case White cannot land the
FINN. This Is looked upon as one of the
possible results of the state convention.
It is said that Senator Hansbrough would
not oppose LaMoure for the place if he
were reasonably satisfied that LaMoure
would not oppose him for the senator
ship, in the administration of state af-
fairs.
Marshall and SpaIding.
There seems no doubt that Marshall
and Spaldng will be the candidates for
congress. No defined opposition to them
has made its appearance. There are sew
eral willing candidates in the valley, bur
they have a strong sentiment to over
come in order to get into the race at all.
The LaMoure county situation interests
many in the state and upon it depends
the denomination Of State Supertnte endent
Devine. If he gets the delegation, he Is
practically sure of renomination but he
cannot go into the state convention
without his county and hope to win. De-
vine Is popular through the state and q
good vote getter, but Blackwell Of La
Moure is fighting him for the county del
egation. 1t is by means certain tha'
Blackwell will get the place he is after
the attorney generalship, If he lands the
delegation, but his success in LaMoure
county will hurt Devine's chances for rec.
ognition.
Side Fights In State.
There are several pretty fights through
che state yet to be settled. Stutsma1
county has not held it's convention ant
will not do so until few days before
she state convention. Bert Proctor, depu
ty state examiner, Is a candidate for tht
delegation, not so much for the hope o
landing a state position as for the recog
milton which will enable him to be reap
pointed, as we'll as to bring about tn
