and made the principal speech for his
faction before the state convention.

swallow the ticket since the conven-

date for governor and lieutenant gov
ernor, respectively, were the only can
didates on the Republican state ticket
present at the conference of the COM
mitteemen yesterday Dunn had just
returned from Austin, where he deliy-
cred his campaign speech, with a spe-
cial promise to devote his efforts, if
elected governor, to. securing a larger
appropriation for county fairs, at the
Mower county fair. Jones, who natu-
rally feels his weakness with the voters
and the wisdom of being in close COM
munion with the committee, came over
from Minneapolis to be present at the
meeting.
Following luncheon the executive
committee held an afternoon session at
the headquarters and went over the
situation by counties based on reports
from the various committeeman. At
the close of the meeting the leaders an
nounced that Dunn would carry the
state by plurality of $4,000, and that
reports of disaffection were grossly ex-
aggerated.
