but enough has oozed out to snow what
is within.
For these reasons and others 1 am now
sincerely anxious for Democratic success
But l want to say, and 1 want to say 1T
with all the prominence of expression
that l can command, that if We succeed
1t will be along right lines, as We did
in the last two campaigns. | take issue
with the charge here today that l am
traitor to Bryan because l refuse to take
his dictation on a party question of ex-
pediency on nominations.
That's where we differ and that's the
only difference. We can agree on a plat
form in two minutes. Then why all this
fuss and feeling and criticism 1t is alb
solutely ludicrous and am unable to take
it. seriously for FIVE minutes consecuttvely.
Proceed with your business In an Or

Will thank you for it. For all past honors

the past.
Lind's speech undoubtedly turned the
tide of the convention. Cheers broke
out all over the hall for him and his
address was finished in an ovation.
F. D. Larabee nominated for dele
gates at large Turnblad, of Hennepin;
Buck of Winona; Bennett, of ST..
Cloud, and Hudson, of Duluth, with
alternateS for them, but c. d. O'Brien
demanded that nominations be made
from the floor of the convention and
that a ballot be taken, the four having
the highest number to be the delegates
at large.
He said in supporting his motion
that he did not expect the Hennepin
crowd to vote for it.
Il am talking to you," cried the vet
eran Democrat to the delegates in the
rear of the hall. IF you are free men
you will vote for my motion; if you are
hired men you'll vote against it."
There were demands for roll call on
the O'Brien amendment, and the chair
ordered the call. The result gave the
O'Brien amendment 535 votes to Alb,
and the convention had escaped from
Hennepin-St. Louis domination. c.. D.
O'Brien nominated John Lind as the
man We fought with and the man we
won with" ]. D. Sullivan, of Stearns,
nominated c. D. O'Brien. Orville Rine-
hart, of Hennepin, named Swan j.
Turnblad; T. D. O'Brien moved that
Frank Zins, of Stearns, be one of the
delegates; Joseph Leicht, of Winona,
nominated H. L. Buck; Capt. Harris,
of Caledonia. placed L. A. Rosing in
nomination, and Larrabee moved that
James r. Bennett Jr., of Stearns, and
F. A. Pike, of Ramsey, be added to the
list of candidates.
Jones, of Rock made telling sec
Onding speech for Lind's candidacy and
Larrabee moved that the selection of
candidates be by ballot instead of roll
call, but withdrew his motion when it
failed to receive a second from the now
demOralized and disOrganiZed Hearst
men.
The call was taken, occupying over
an hour, and almost from the first it
was seen that the tide of battle had
turned against the Hearst candidates.
Several of the first counties in the
list showed losses for their side, then
Otter Tail helped Lind and his fellows,
and Polk, which had not been permit
ted to vote in the preliminary organi-
cation, cast its big vote for the con-
SerVatives. Mower county was eXclud-
ed by the committee when Mayor of
Austin was delegate and had been
chosen as an alternate to the national
convention. Nicollet had been passed
by the reading clerk, and the Hearst
men declared, when the chairman later
voted his county for the anti Hearst
men, that there were no Nicollet coun-
ty delegates present.
The chairman was identified and al
lowed to vote his nine votes. Larrabee
sent up the PipeStone county vote for
Hearst, but it was challenged because
the ants insisted there was no dele
gates present from Pipestone.. LARA
bee claimed that somebody had just
handed it to him to present, and he
did not know the name of the delegate.
Caught with the goods on him, .
howled a Ramsey county delegate as it
became evident that the ants would
elect a majority of the delegates at
large.
Capt. Harries died hard pleading
for Mower countys right to vote, but
the result was finally announced. 1t
was: Lind, SCI, Rosing, 494; O'Brien,
sos; Zins, 425; Turnblad, Ala; Bennett,
466; Buck, 485; Pike, 395. OF the four,
Lind, Rosing and OBrien are anti
Hearst, and Buck, of Winona, is for
Hearst.
OF the twenty-five delegates it is
