Collins Man on Credentials Committee.
that In many cases contested Collins
delegations were Illegally allowed to
vote for the Collins chairman on or
ganization, whereas In the first pre-
cinct OF the fifth ward the rule was
reversed and contested Dunn dele
cation not allowed to vote. The cre-
dent1als committee, 1t was charged,
was named entirely from Collins dele
gates, and it's report adopted on a
loud vote Of yeas and nays without
giving q chance for q division Of the
house. ..-:t ...
j. A. Peterson asserted that a ma
Jority Of any convention had a right
to withdraw and hold a legal CON-
vention. He claimed the convention
became legally null and void when
properly attested and credited men,
bers were not allowed voice In the
original meeting. Mr.. Peterson as
serted q majority Of the convention
bolted; that the alleged majority roll
call in the hall was secured by full
precincts being voted by minorities
fstill present. He charged that in the
first precinct of the fifth ward, where
the votes Of the caucus were burned,
the Collins delegates were given Gre
dentials; that in the second precinct
of the eleventh ward primary, man
was allowed to remove Dunn vote
from the ballot box; that In the sixth
precinct Of the third ward, where
there was a tie, the judges drew lots
and declared in favor Of Collins. In
the fourth precinct Of the third ward.
he alleged a judge took an extra vote
and placed 1t In the ballot box to make
tie and defeat the Dunn ticket. In
the first of the sixth ward, Peterson
alleged fifteen men, not citizens, We're
illegally voted for Collins. The test
vote, 279 for HUM, 292 for Wilson,

tated to whom the election papers
should be delivered in the Collins in
terests. The rejection of Dunn dele
gates in contests for seats in the con-
vention was branded as high-handed
work and without other reason than
to advance the interests Of Judge Col
Inns. One affidavit asserted that e.
H. Haas had conducted the primary
in the fifth precinct of the third ward
bled in a caucus on the residence
porch, but only those Haas invited
were allowed to vote, casting their
ballots thru a window. 1t was also
sworn that Haas was not q legal voter
of the precinct, having rented but not
occupied room in it short time be-
fore, and that his real residence was,
and still is, at 5s6 Portland avenue,
st. Paul. The Collins men were
charged with using illegal votes, and
in one case accused of operating a
fraudulent votingplace at SCI Jackson
street.
One Captain Berger swore that F.
G. Warner had asserted preceding the
county convention, Right or wrong,
we will beat you in the convention
Eli Warner asserted that men not
elected delegates, were seated in the
county convention to favor the Collins
faction.
Parker's Sensational Charge.
| Then came the sensation of the
evening.
William Parker. Judge in the fifth
precinct of the third ward, asserted
that DR.. e. H. Haas had told him that
} if the Dunn votes came too thick and
fast to throw EN- under the table,"
HE said further" asserted Parker,
that If I couldn't throw the ballots
under fast enough, to leave some Of
the Dunn votes In the box at the
finish. DR.. Haas locked the door of
the voting place, and only let votes
be passed in thru a window, which
was so high that I couldn't see the
voters"
Both Sides Sum Up.
General Childs then summed up the
Dunn case. He said men when dis
franchised had perfect right to bolt,
that "the majority had a right to
bolt from the tyranny of the mi
nority."
Hitler Horton then spoke for the
accredited Collins delegates. He In
turn read affidavits to prove the Ram
sey republican convention had been
legally called, the delegates legally
,Eelected, and the convention legally
conducted, and filed the Official
minutes to prove it. He explained
that the Collins majority in the con.
vention could not be honestly ques.
toned. Even after the bolt 164 un.
contested delegates remained, the en-
tire authorized number Of delegates
being 312.

well, there weren't as many as
when you ran last for the senate re-
sponded Schiffman.
Schiffn1an then attempted to stir up
q sensation by charging that the Col
Inns men had distributed credentials
broadcast at the primaries, but the
charge fell fiat.
The last speaker was Frank Griggs
of st. Paul, who offered a sworn
statement to the effect that Samuel
Lowenstein, judge at the primary
election in the first precinct of the
seventh ward, had wilfully substituted
a ballot for Collins delegation hand
ed to him by Henry Lang, clerk Of the
United States court, for Dunn bal
lot, which he placed in the ballot
box instead. With this sensational
affidavit, the Ramsey case was closed.

COLLINS CAUCUS
Rousing Gathering After Adjourn
ment Yesterday.

A rousing caucus Of the Collins del
egates was held yesterday afternoon
in Mozart's hall. II. j. Miller of Lu-
verne presided and T. J. McElligott
of Madison acted as secretary. The
hall was filled with Collins delegates,
who gave the speakers an enthusiastic
reception, and James A. Martin was
almost carried from his feet by the
applause that greeted his appearance.
William H. Grimshaw started things
going by saying that the Collins men
were there to win the fight. Henne-
pins delegation was ready to trade
off everything else on the ticket to
help Judge Collins. II the delegation
was seated, as justice demanded, then
the help of Hennepin would be given
to candidates whose friends supported
Judge Collins.
Frank M. Nye made a vigorous
speech. G. s. Ives, former lieutenant
governor, and G. e. Callaghan OF
Rochester, counseled the delegates
not to make disturbance or use any

you find no difficulty" said Senator
Horton, significantly. 1T was in the
midst Of roll call that the Dunn
men bolted. The bolt was premature
and Mr.. Schiffman and Eli Warner
practically told US so because they
came back and wanted certain things
on record. This is country where
majorities rule, and we had a fair,
honest majority in that convention
with which to rule.
"And another thing in Mr..
Schiffman's own precinct, where there
are nominally only some thirty-five re-
publicans some $50 were voted. How
do you explain it,"

in the county convention, Mr. Peter
son charged, would have been 294 for
HUM and 281 for Wilson if the legal
Dunn votes had been seated.
Collins Side Is Heard.
w. P. Roberts then took the floor
for the Collins faction. He submit
ted it was impossible to go behind
the returns and objected to the adj
mission of such evidence by the
Dunn faction.
Colonel G.. w. Johnson also spoke
for the Collins element. He insisted
that all delegates holding credentials
should rightly vote on preliminary
roll call; and where there was but
one set Of delegates with credentials,
these were rightly allowed to vote.
Mr.. Peterson had demanded a hear
ing before there was a temporary or
ganization, and was even allowed the
floor in the middle of a roll call.
Mr.. Roberts then filed a certified
copy Of the minutes of the regular
legal convention, which he read in
