NORTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS.
n Get In Enthusiastic Convention at Fargo
and Select Delegates to Chicago.
Roosevelt Endorsed.


The name Roosevelt furnished the
inspiration at the state Republican
at Fargo the 18th. The
president is regarded as a foster son
of North Dakota from his residence
on a ranch in the western part of the
state. and the enthusiasm for his re-
nomination is unbounded.
AS Chairman Hanna of the State
Republican Central Committee raped
for order, large curtain was dropped
at the rear of the stage showing a
portrait of the president with pic
ture on one side in cowboy costume
and on the other in military uniform
on San Juan Hill. 1t was the signal
for great outbursts of applause, and
the cheering was no less spirited
this afternoon when his name was so
heartily Endorsed for denomination by
the resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted.
After the convention was called to
order and after prayer by Bishop
Mann of the North Dakota Episcopal
Church, State Senator Jud Lamoure
was named as temporary chairman
and II. H. Jewell of Bismarck tempo
rary secretary. The usual commit
tees. were appointed and adjournment
was taken until $3.50 o'clock. The
temporary organization was made
permanent, and the work of select
ing the delegates to the national con-
vention was proceeded with after
adoption of the resolutions.
There are eight delegates from the
state, and as there are eight judicial
districts, each selected delegate and
the entire number was ratified in the
convention. National Committeeman
Mckenzie and both senator's were
honored by being placed on the dele

The convention concluded with
short speeches by Senators Hansbor-
ough and McCumber and Congress-
men Spalding and Marshall. After adj.
journment the delegation organized
by selecting Hansborougl,- rs. chair
man and Hanna as secretary. Nc.
Kenzie was unanimously reelected
national committeeman for -four
years.
Prior to the assembling of the con
vention the central compittee dis
posed of the Ward and Kidder county
contests by seating the anti-Afurphy
delegation from Ward and the Lyons
delegation from Kidder. The fact that
both the winning delegations are fav,
orablc to Sarles for governor is a
significant fact, and Murphy's strong
advocacy of the denomination of Gov
White was one of the greatest handi.
caps. The decision removed Murphy
as a possibility for national dele.
gate and also eliminated his right.
