has population of 1900 and the next
governor of Minnesota.
T. n. Galley was a member of the
committee on credentials and he didn Il
let anything get away that he could
help.
M. S. Rutherford looked after the
bands in the city. He gave his per-
sonal check for 5000 to pay for the
First Reg't band, and gave another
check of $50 toward the payment for
music furnished by the State band
Mile Laos county voted solid for
Young for attorney general, and also
for Judge Searle, Justices Brown
and Lewis and Judge Elliott. For
State treasurer Schwarg received six
and Block three votes from the dele
cation.
The Dunn floor leaders were GEORGE
r. Laybourn of Duluth, w. B. Ander-
son of Winona, and Henry Feig of
Kandiyohi. The steering committee
for the Princeton man was Mile Bun
nell, W. G. Schultz, former Lieutenant
Governor A. b. Rice, Andrew Stew
ems and G. l.. Benedict.
On Thursday the convention was ad-
dressed by II. P. Hall, the nestor of
Minnesota journalism, whose droll
and witty remarks were greatly enjoved
by the convention. On Friday Con-
gresham Bede and Hon. w. I. Nolan
the funny man, entertained the con-
vention.
There was hard scramble on the
part OF the Dunn people to secure
tickets to the convention the first dav,
but the boys were on easy street the
second day, and after the test vote
man wearing Dunn badge and bear
ing any kind of piece of pasteboard
could pass the guards safely.
Two big meetings in the interest of
R. c. Dunn's candidacy were held,
one on Wednesday and another on
Thursday night at Mazart hall, and
both meetings were monster endorse
ments. E. L. Mcmillan spoke at the
Wednesday night meeting while c. A.
Dickey made remarks in Mr.. Dunn's
interest on Thursday night.
In retiring from the convention W.
81. Grimshaw in speaking for the Hen
nepin Collins delegation said: "We
are no longer members of this conven-
ton, but we are loyal Republicans
and will be found supporting the nom
inee of the party in November and
will make an effort to give the candi-
date for governor the same plurality
as that the Republican candidate for
president will receive.''
A delegate started in to nominate
his candidate, and was getting along
! smoothly though rather solemnly
when some delegate away in the oppo-
site side of the hall cried 'amen!"
This convulsed the convention and
the nominating speech fell by the
wayside. Another delegate started in
with nominating speech, and was
just throwing out a few verbal boquets
when some impatient delegate let out
a groan and the well-rounded periods
OF that nominating speech disappeared
in string of ciphers.
Late Friday evening after the con-
vention had completed it's labors
Judge Robert Jaumison was standing
talking with T. 81. Galley, E. L. Nc
MILAN and few other Princeton par
ties near the Metropolitan theatre and
Mr.. Jamison was very cordial and
pleasant, expressing himself as feeling
we'll satisfied with the result of the
convention s work. He remarked to
the editor of the Union in leaving
that he might visit Princeton at some
time in the near future and if he did
he would make speech for r. c..
Dunn.
The Hennepin county Dunn delega-
ton was most enthusiastic and loyal
band Of workers. They numbered l13
and were branded jumpers at the
start, but after the smoke of battle
cleared away they were branded
winners They carried large
banner on which was painted in big
letters "Hennepin for Dunn No
band of fighters ever went into battle
with more determination than did this
delegation. They were always around
and created no end of enthusiasm.
They went down in their own pockets
and with the assistance of M. S. Ruth
erford, had Rossiter's First Regiment
and the Minnesota State band with
them on Thursday and Friday. The
Hennepin boys and the delegation OF
rooters from Princeton and adjoining
towns stood pat and awaited victory.
They rendezvoued at the Merchants
