Members Late in Starting
With the galleries filed with specta-
tors, some of the members were late in
reaching the state capitol and the hall
of representatives. While the hour in
the caucus call posted about the capitol
was 1880, the original call had specified
o'clock and many members chose to
observe the first call in presenting
themselves for the caucus.
Considering the rivalry that had been
engendered in the preliminaries, the
caucus was remarkably tame affair,
If there were excitement it was sup

Thompson, of Fillmore called the eau
Gus to order at sos an onlooker would

United States senator hung in the bal

the slate arranged by the Clapp man

subsequent proceedings went with

sentative w. B. Anderson, of Winona,
as chairman 1t was carried with
rush and then on the motion of Sena-
tor Frank e. Putnam, of Faribault.
Senator Thomas Torson, of Waterman,
and Representative Elmer e. Adams,
of Otter Tail, were named as secre-
taries for the caucus. The call Of the
roll, conducted by Mr.. Adams. showed
128 senator and representatives pres
ent. Following close on the heels of
the announcement, Senator Lord
moved that the caucus proceed to NOM
mate candidate for United States
senator to succeeded Moses E. Clapp.

down in their hearts they had feel

Inquiry to ask second question.

members of the senate and house p,

Subsequent DEVELOPMENTS indicated
that the inquiring Minneapolis mem
Der had a motive in asking his appar-
emily simple question; Tor he voted for
