Realizing he could not win the
nomination himself, his friends
say Judge White made up his
mind to select his successor, and
even scores with the Robbins,
Cook and Dorsey men, who had
combined their forces in order to
organize the convention.
Judge Num- thanked the con-
vention and said that he could on
ly say that when he had taken his
seat on the Appellate bench he
would decide every question which
came before him in strict accord
ance with the law and the facts,
with fairness tc the litigants.
One by one Judge Cook, Judge
Robbins and Judge White came
forward, seized the hand of the
nominee in oongratulation, and
told the delegates that their coats
and hats were off for the ticket
and the nominee. Each said he
proposed to aid Judge Num- in
his canvass, and would endeavor
to make the Democratic majority
larger than it had ever been be-
fore. Judge Yeaman was thanked
for his fairness in presiding over
the convention and a game rooster
in the act of Growing was Sc
lected as the party device on the
ballot.
The convention passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:

UNION FOR RETAILERS

Organization as the most effective
means of guarding their rights as, retail
ers is rapidly increasing in favor among
that class of northwestern business men.
The several retailers organizations are
vigorous and growing. All have accom-
plished results in their relations with the
wholesaler and manufacturer that
appeal to the retailers in un-
ORGANIZED districts The hardware men
are formulating a plan for uniting in
close organization all of the retailers in
that line in the northwest. The move
ment to organize the general merchants
is we'll under way The retail lumber
mems association. is one of the most Ell
fective and the most. powerful in the
country. The retail coal dealers 1850
citation, which held its second annual
meeting in Minneapolis this week, is
"a pidly becoming to the coal trade what
the retail lumbermen's association is to
the lumber business. =.
The prime reason for the organization
of the retail coal dealers association was
to force what is called illegitimate COM
petition out of the retail coal business.
The retail dealer who has gone to the
expense of erecting a plant for handling
coal contended that the wholesaler should
not sell to dealers who were in the bust
ness only at certain times during the
year and also that the wholesaler should
Quit selling direct to big consumers. es-
:pecialy laundries and creameries
According to the report Of its OH
Gals, the new association has made much
progress in restricting competition in coal
to legitimate dealers in its hrst year.
It has won over most Of the wholesalers
but the argument is still on with three
of the big shipping companies. In south
ern Minnesota and Iowa where the nearby
coal mines supply some of the, soft coal
trade, the smaller companies are giving
the new association some trouble. In the
northwest: the consumer gets poor
chance at buying anthracite direct and
the selling of soft coal is being brought
into the retailers hands more and more.
It is noticeable that in the past few years,
partly by the assistance Of retail asso-
Citations, the price of many staple com
modities has been almost entirely ad-
justed by agreement. The retailers in
sist that with the small margin allowed
them on most commodities, they cannot
afford to sell the staples in warm com
petition with each other. The next few
years will undoubtedly see a big increase
in the numbers and prestige of north
western retail deaders' associations. !;
