Fargo, n. D., April 22.-E. Y Sarles
cannot lose the Kidder county delega-
ton, no matter which is seated in the
state convention. The Belden and Lyons
factions each held conventions and both
selected delegates favorable to the candi-
dacy Of Sarles for governor.
The double header delega tiors will make
lot Of trouble for the legislative, judicial
and state conventions and the courts will
be called on to decide which county ticket
will be placed on the official ballot.
FactionaIIsts Disagree.
Recent reports from Ward county are
to the effect that there is trouble among
the faction opposing Major Murphy. It is
headed by men who have been former Of
! flee holders and the chief fight is made by
men who are anxious to get places on the
county ticket. There are not enough
| places on the ticket for all those who
| aspire to places. 1t is asserted that with
| the opposition to Major Murphy united
| there is a chance for success, as Murphy
| has lost ground the past twelve, months
and is less formidable than form erly. But
with the opposition after snaps and fight
| ing among themselves the friends of Muir
ply do not appear to be alarmed.
Representative Diesem Of La Moure Is
being urged for the nomination of leuten-
ant governor since the failure Of George
| NJ. Young Of Valley City to secure the
Barnes county delegation. La Moure lost
it's place on the political map by turning
down Joe Devine. who has since moved
from that county to the northwestern
to secure a place on the state ticket and
Editor Taylor Of the same county is being
doomed for commissioner of agriculture.
GIaspeIrs Hard Row.
| 1t is reported from the fifth district thai
Judge Glaspell has practically given ur
hope of securing q denomination since he
lost both his own county and Barnes. His
friends, however, still see a possible
chance for his success in the light of g
compromise candidate. 1t is commended
that the favorite son candidates will xii
each other off and finally the convention
will turn to Glaspell as compromise
even if he has no delegation to back hin
up.
Almost every county has a candidate
and the situation is complex. Barnes hal
Burke, Griggs has Bartlett. Stutsman il
for Ellsworth, Wells wants Hanchett
Foster will support McCue and La Mour
will be for Blackwell. Eddy and Logan
seem to be- the only counties in the dis
trict without a man for the place. It i
conceded that if Glaspell had his HON
, delegation he could win.
e PaIda's Fortunes Linked with Murphy's
y Judge Palda's denomination in tho eigh
: district depends on the success Of Murph
: in Ward county. Palda Is protege o
Murphy, who secured his appointment
: against great odds after the district wa
. created. Palda has apparently made goo
: in every way and may be able to secur
Il his denomination even if" Murphy is de
feated in Ward, but is considered to b
d absolutely certain Of the place if Murph
> is successful. Bottineau county has som
e candidates for the place and will probabl
force a fight.
Recent reports from the slope are tina
Morton, Stark and Mclean counties ar
almost sure to return delegations that ar
= opposed to the denomination Of White
This is accepted with grain of salt, how
ever, for it would mean the defeat
n Tuttle in Morton and Simpson in Starl
. Mclean county is conceded for Sarles.
