Several Contests Promised

There are several contests for the
county convention to settle. BY vote Of
% to II F. D. Larrabee, candidate for
delegate at large on the Hearst ticket,
defeated F. G. Winston on the anti-Hearst
slate for similar position for delegate

tested in the convention. In the Second
precinct of the Fourth ward the four
delegates chosen were instructed for
Charles A. Towne for president.
Excitement during the primaries was
at fever heat and it is reported that sew
eral personal encounters occurred at the
polling places. Not in the history of
Minneapolis have Democratic primaries
been so largely attended or so keen an in
terest displayed as in last nights pri-
maries.
The anti-Hearst precinct tickets each
bore the names of John Lind, F. G. Win
ston and Elijah Barton as delegates to the
national convention, Mr.. Lind being slated
for delegate at large and the others as
delegates from the Fifth congressional

CROPS CATCH UP IN
RED RIVER VALLEY
Recent Heavy Rains Cause Making Up
of Lost Time

Special to The Globe
CROOkSTON, Mimi, June THE
rains which have been prevalent through
out the Red River valley during the past
week have been of incalculabIe value to
the country. The grain was seeded later
this spring than usual, and for~this rea-
son it was necessary to have plenty of
moisture in order that the growth would
be rapid from the start. The moist con-
dltion Of the ground now insures the
growth needed, and by the middle of
June the wheat will be as far along as
it is on an average year.
There was never a season when the
prospects were far from bright UP to the
first week in May, that so great a change
was noticeable. The weather from that
time forward was ideal. Seeding opera
lions We're uninterrupted till the wheat
was all in the ground. Then came a gen
eral rain, just heavy enough to sprout
things nicely. Barley and oats were then
seeded, and considerable flax. and then
came the rains of the past week, which
will start everything that is in the ground.
Practically all the ground is now seeded
except barley.
