ceded something, but the developments
indicate that Blaisden may be switched
to secretary of state. That place IS
omen because of the retirement OF Sec
retary Porter. The present state au-
ditor, H. L. Holmes OF Pemolna. Is
not q, candidate again, and no eanul'

All these minor questions remain TO De
settled by the stalwarts in caucus be-
fore the convention meets. The lnsur
gents are likely also to name q full
ticket and vote on it in the conVen

VIII Let Insurgents Talk.
The organization is in shape to fore!
things thru at Jamestown, but the lead
ers in st. Paul agree that the insur
gents should be handled with considera
ton, SO as to leave no excuse for
bolt. The convention will probably b
thrown open for oratory, and the in
surgents will be given all the time the,
want to state their grievances, and fu!
opportunity to contest and show thel
ings. The, prediction was freely, mad
today that the insurgents would no
muster more than 100 votes in the con
vention on any test Of strength.
E The insurgents have no floor lead
ers, apparently. George B. Winship 0
Grand Forks. former Congressman Spa
ding of Fargo and former Governor De
vine Of Minot all failed to get on thei
delegations. The grand Forks delega
ton is insurgent and may seat Mr.. Wiz
ship on proxy.
Senator McCumber will attend tn
convention, put Senator Hansbroug
! not be present.
