cOnSin fight are showing alarm to-
night at an entirely new phase of the
situation. They say Gov. La Follette's
lieutenantS have spent the day in
vain search for a single member of the
credentials committee who will shoul-
der the task of making minority re-
port to the convention in case the ma
jority report favors the 'stalwarts.
This failure has discouraged the La
Toilette faction, 1t is reported, to the
extent of abandoning the. contest even
before the convention. Should this be
done, they could go before the Wiscon-
sin voters with the claim Of unfair
treatment, as having been denied
hearing at the hands of the convention.
1t will be much more desirable to the.
''stalwarts's to have the La Toilette
grievance thoroughly aired in the con-
vention and voted down than to have
their case settled by default.
This phase of the situation is to be
made the subject of conference
among the "stalwart" leaders, and it
may not be impossible that member
of the credentials committee may be
found who will volunteer to make a
minority report on the case to the con-
vention.
The Montana delegation organized
today elected John B. Waite national
committeeman and Senator Carter
member of the committee on resolu-

for vice president. The delegation

Quarles was elected chairman of the
delegation, Senator Spooner as the
Wisconsin member of the committee
on resolutions, and Postmaster General
