FIRST ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.
The First assembly district conven-
ton was held yesterday at Marathon
City, H. j. Blanchard, of Colby, presid-
ing. The committee on credentials re-
ported sixty-one delegates present en-
titled to seats in the convention. The
committee on resolutions reported sci
of resolutions placing candidates in
position whereby they agree to stand
by the decision of the supreme court as
to which state ticket shall be placed
under the national ticket
There were two candidates for the
assembly, A. E. Beebe, OF Mcmillan,
and Fred Prehn, of Marathon City
The former represents stalwart princi-
pies, the latter is an administration
man, and those who labored for Mr.
Beebe were aware in the morning that
they could not nominate their man be-
cause of the perfect organization of the
opposition. Robt. Conner and &. H.
Reynolds, both residents of Wood
county, worked hard at the caucuses
and at the convention for Prehn, and
when the first ballot was taken it was
found he had "a votes to Mr.. Beebe's
q, and he was declared the nominee.
The stalwarts claim that the LaFollette
supporters worked a scheme to advan-
tage by making the threat that unless
Prehn was nominated they would cut
the whole county ticket.
