The above was the result of the ROM
nations made at the citizens temper
ance mass meeting held at the Berg
quist block Monday night. A rous-
ing meeting of determined voters it
was, and If they carry their enthusl-
asm into the city campaign, there is
little doubt that the nominations will
be ratified at the polls at the election
week from next Tuesday. All parts
OF the city were represented. The re-
representatives. of the different wards
met in groups to name their respective
candidates. There were twenty-five
voters present from First ward, and
twenty four from Second ward. The
Third ward caucus cast thirty-f
ballots, and those present from Fourth
ward were not numbered. One hun
dred and twenty five of the voters
present signed the certificates of nom
nations for the city Offices. AS there
were seven of these, the total number
of signatures taken may be estimated.
Rev. A. N. Osterholm was made
chairman of the meeting and V. E.
Lawson clerk. The call for the meet
Ing was read, and the chairman made
few further remarks as to the purpose
OF the meeting. Then the nominations
were speedily made. Mayor Qvale
was re-nominated by a rising vote.
Hans Gunderson, the popular young
citizen OF Fourth ward, was named for
treasurer with out opposition. John
T. Otos was renominated for city
clerk. 81. Shipstead was proposed
for assessor, but declined, stating
that he could not serve if elected. G.
G. Haines Of First ward was then pro-
posed and induced to accept the nom
ttnation, which Was given him With :.
will. Atty. John II. Styles WAS
nominated for judge OF the munich
pal court, and Peter Bonde and
G. 81 Stephens for constables. The
voters were then asked to form In
line and pass by the table to sign each
of the seven petitions in order to place
the nominees upon the official ballot.
This took some time. City Attorney
Samuel Olson acted as notary and
performed the feat of taking the &C.
} knowledgment of 875 signatures. A.
ter this work was completed the meet
ing divided into groups for the pur-
pose of naming nominees for alder
men. First ward reported O. K. Sew
crimson as their choice; Second ward
named Frank B. Ledell as it's stand
ard-bearer; Third ward endorsed the
good work of Erick Holt on the coun-
Gil during the past year by q re-nom-
ination; and Fourth Ward presented
the name of Frank Holmberg as their
choice. The result was announced,
the appointment of campaign commit
tees was authorized, and the meeting
adjourned.
