few minutes delay waiting for all
members to appear and sign the hastily
prepared report, Senator G. B. Ward

pin county contest, the evidence sub
mitted to committee in the form of
affidavits as to contesting delegation
to the county con vention, and the seat

give them majority in the conven-
'tion. Detailed statements of misuse
of ballots by Collins men in certain
precincts was given.
The minority report was adopted
which seated the Dunn delegation
from Hennepin.
Then there was peculiar situation.
Marshal Grimshaw had been named
chairman of the committee on perma-

member of the convention and with a
voice choked with emotion he address
ed the chair. He turned the report OF
the committee over to Hitler 81. Hor-
ton, the second man on the committe,
and then made few remarks.
"We are no longer members OF this
convention" said he, ''but we are loyal
republicans and will be found support
ing the nominee of the party in No
yember and will make an effort to
give the candidate for governor the
same plurality as that the republican
candidate for president will receive" ;"
Then he led the followers out of the
convention and the other faction
marched in and took their seats.
James A. Peterson, of Minneapolis
nominated r. C. Dunn for governor
James A. Martin, manager of the Col
lins campaign moved to make it unan-
imous. The motion prevailed amid
cheers.
The naming of the rest of the tick
ct took but little time.
