eJud La Moure of lPembina, the Mis-

! Marshall were prime movers In making

ing that nothing short of miracle would
prevent this combine from controlling the

500 and 900 votes of the entire, 744. e.,
Walsh Unites on Libby.
In connection with this slate there was
much uncertainty as to who should be Sc
lected for attorney general and superin-
tendent of schools. La Moure and other
combine managers are anxious to have

Colonel w. H. Robinson has charge OF
the campaign of Banker E. Y. Sarles tor

of the delegations into a corner where
they were afraid to negotiate with the

tocure favor with the combine Tor attor-
ney general went itno the, Sarles camp
this afternoon. Other delegations were

could be learned their total strength was

in favor Of White and the combine. Han

The sarles managers started a back fire
on the combine late to-day by calling a

;. Generally "Jud'' La Moure is credited
i with an ambition to handle this conven-
tion in the interests Of the railway mer-
ger. 1t is said that pressure direct from
the Great Mort hern office has been
brought to bear successfully on many OF
the republican leaders.
Whites position on the merger, favor.
able to the roads, has given him the In.
