REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
kandiyohi County Republicans Meet,
Elect Deleg stes to Duluth, and
Mako Their Platform.
The biennial republican delegate
convention was held at the courthouse
last Wednesday. It was a. harmony
meeting and nothing on the surface
would indicate anything but that all
the old war horses present were of
one mind. The necessity for party
organization and of voting for the
head of the ticket whatever that would
be was dinned into the ears of the
delegates The notable feature of the
gathering was the return of three old
time alliance and populist leaders to
the party fold.
Jacobson was the only man men,
toned of the gubernatorlal candidates
and while the delegates were not
pledged directly, nearly everyone was
vouched for as a Jacobson man by
those who presented the Names.
The convention was called to order
by County Chairman Alton Crosby.
He was elected temporary chairman
and S. Fl. Stautfer of Burbank was
elected temporary secretary. This
organization was afterwards made
permanent.

The report of the resolution com
mittee was read by Chairman Feig.
The original draft evidently prepared
by him was adopted except one plank
pointing with pride to the gold stan
dard, which was omitted perhaps out
OF consideration for the returning
populist brethren. The following is
the report as adopted:
PLATFORM.
| NATIONAL.
