+. II. Peterson, of Clay county, NOM
mated w. B. Douglas for the term be-
ginning in 1905, and w. H. I.ightner
named Judge E. A. Jaggard There
was great applause when Jaggard was
mentioned, and Smith, of Minneapolis
at once pushed to the front and stated
that, after consulting the Hennepin
county delegates, it had been decided
to have Judge Elliott aspire for the
term beginning in 1906. D. B. Searle.
OF 81. Cloud was named for the position
beginning in 1905 by d. S. Johnston. of
Becker county, and the nomination
was seconded In warm speech by
Senator Brewer, of Stearns county.
Collins Out of Race
Senator Brewer gave the first strong
indication that it had been decided BY
the Collins forces that there would be
no contest for the gubernatorial NOM
lnat1on. He said that Judge Searle
had not been an active candidate for
the position previously, having con-
Guided that he would not push himself
forward while Judge Collins was a
candidate for governor. This state
ment, virtually declaring that Judge
Collins was no longer a candidate, was
received with cheers.
Chairman Clapp ruled that it was
necessary to take separate polls on the
different positions, and ordered the
roll call on the candidates for the posi-
tons beginning in 1906 first. AS. each
county was allowed to vote for three
candidates the polling was tedious, the
ultimate nomination of Judge Elliott
over Justice Lovely having been ac-
complished by inducing a couple of
county to change their votes almost
at the moment that the result was to be
announced.
Friends of Judge Elliott had added
the columns showing the vote for Ell
hot and for Lovely, with the result that
1T was shown that Lovely was winner
by small margin. There was at once
some great hustling on the part of
Hennepin county delegates, assisted by
st. Louis county. AT the time the vote
stood 100 for Lovely and 719 for Ell
lott. Douglas county was induced to
withdraw from Lovely 13 votes, giving
Elliott of the number and Lewis Z.
This was not quite enough to accom-
pl1sh the purpose, and Todd county re-
ST onded to the plea that had been made
by Hennepin county, and transferred
the fourteen votes that it had given to
Brown to Elliott, refusing to take the
vote from Lovely, but in this manner
defeating the man for whom the dele
fayes voted.
Counties Split Their Votes
In this contest but few counties split
their vote. Big Stone was the first to
set the example, giving 1 of it's 9 votes
TO Elliott, this vote being taken from
Lewis, who received 8. Brown gave
Lovely and Brown IL each, Lewis
and Elliott 8. Lovely got but 1 from
Cass, this being taken from Brown,
who got of the 9. Dakota county
gave IL to Lovely and Lewis, giving Ell
lott and Brown 8. Fillmore gave
Brown Is and Elliott of its 20 votes,
the other two candidates receiving the
full strength. Nicollet gave to Love-
~ and to Brown, and the full strength
to the other two. Olmsted voted solid
~ for Lovely and Brown. and split at
8 and for Lewis and Elliott. Red
wood, Id to Elliott and Brown, and
gave Lovely and Lewis Z. Sibley split
us II votes between Elliott and Lewis
and gave the full strength to the 9TH
efs. Wabasha gave of it's 13 to Ell
lott and Z to Lewis, the full strength
going TO the other two. Yellow Medi-
cine gave Lovely 4 and Lewis 8, the
other two candidates getting the full 10
votes. The vote resulted:
Brown, 1899

Lovely TT.
The roll call for the term beginning
next January was started at once, a large
percentage of the persons in the galleries
demonstrating that they were favorable to
Judge Jaggard Justice Douglas and
Judge Searle were also favored by their
partisans, but the outcome In favor of
Jaggard was evidenced by the reception
of his name by the delegates and by the
visitors. When Aitkin county cast its
nine votes for Jaggard there was strong
demonstration, which was followed by an
ominous silence while the votes of Anoka,
Becker, Beltrami, Benton and Big Stone
counties went to the other candidates.
But Blue Earth followed with 10 of it's
20 votes for Jaggard. the other 10 going
to Douglas and from that time until the
roll call had been completed Jaggard was
at all times in the lead. In nearly two
thirds of the counties the vote was split
between the candidates, but in nearly ev-
cry instance Jaggard received the great
est proportion of the vote. When the
roll call had been finished the Jaggard
people INDUCED in wild demonstration,
knowing that their favorite had won. The
vote:
Jaggard, 637
Douglas. 2S9.
Searle, 260.
