Grand Forks, July 16.-The repub-
lican convention for the nomination
of state officers will be held in this
city next Wednesday; but were it not
for the fact that few of the men
concerned with the management of
the convention details are active, and
that several prominent party men
have had occasion to visit Grand
For ks in the past few days, since the
arrival of Senator Hansbrough. no
one would be aware that a conven-
ton was to be held.
The slate has already been fixed,
and unless a fight develops on some
of the minor places, there will be but
Two contests-over lieutenant COVER
nor and state treasurer.
The nomination for governor is
conceded to e. Y. Sarles, the Hills
boro banker. Governor Frank White
and H. T. Helgesen have not formal
ly withdrawn. but it is doubtful If
either name Is presented. g...,.-...
y Governor White Is credited with
having offered the Barnes county del
egation to George M. Young for lieu
tenant governor, Governor White hav-
Ing taken that delegation from him
at the primaries. Mr.. Young laid the
matter before Mr.. Sarles, so the story
goes, and was told that he was prob
ably too late.
G. S. Deisem of Lamoure county is
probably the most active candidate
for lieutenant governor, and it is ex-
pected that his name will adorn the
slate finally agreed upon early in the
week. Lieutenant Governor Bartlett
Is credited with a desire to be renom-
mated, and he has his home delega-
ton for any position he may desire
Many of his friends urged him to be-
come a candidate for district Judge
but he declined and must now be
considered as a state ticket factor
To the leaders Mr.. Bartlett has beer
very satisfactory, but Mr.. Deisem Sc.
lected his own delegation, was in the
field early, and will come with enough
pledged delegates to make it neces
sary for the slatemakers to give him
due consideration. His nomination
for the second place Is predicted by
knowing ones.
The real fight seems to be now or
. the treasurership, and Senators Hans
brough and McCumber have beer
drawn into the matter to the extern
that they are open champions of thu
nomination of A. Peterson of Sargen
county. Mr.. Peterson has served sew
eral terms In the legislature and ha
had an opportunity to vote and worl
for the election Of both. o. I. Hegg
of Minnewaukan is the other promi
nent candidate, and the fight will b.
between these two. If the senator
are allowed to dictate, the nomina
ton will go to Peterson; but it i
doubtful if Senator McCumber will
care to make vigorous fight, as h
must stand for reelection at tn
hands of the next legislature. D. K
Brightbill of Towner county and Mar
tin Jacobson Of Ward county are TIN
other candidates; but unless Majo
Murphy's delegation from Ward coun
ty Is seated contingency very re
mote at this time, the candidacy O
Senator Jacobson will probably no
assume large proportions
Major Murphy has given 1t out tina
he will be here with his delegation
and that he will take his fight ont
the floor Of the convention, no mat
ter what the state committee may dc
Naturally he expects that the commit
tee will decide against his delegation
