The Bismarck correspondent to the
Minneapolis Journal says: The M
surgent movement in the state. az. ron
resented by Winship Of the Grand
Forks Herald, dies hard. The Herald
Is still claiming over 200 votes for the
insurgents. with a list OF seventy-five
to hundred In the doubtful column,
and 1t Is asserted that enough Of these
may be gained by the insurgents to
give them chance of controlling the
state convention.
This ostensible belief, however, .is
confined to the Herald The other In
surgent organs of the state, notably
the Lidgerwood Broadaxe and the
jamestown Daily Capital, redhot In
surgent organs, admit the control Of
the state convention by the regulars,
and publish lists of the delegates by
counties to show that the stalwarts
will have something over 300 votes
in the convention. The latest returns
from all counties in the state indicate
that the regulars will have 100 more
than the necessary majority.
The efforts of the insurgents to make
friends with Chief LaMoure of Penn
bina county, whom they have joIted at
every possible opportunity for years,
is one of the interesting features sof
the campaign. The hardest political
prophet in the state will scarcely ven
ture the prediction LaMoure will ever
be found in camp with Winship, how
ever crafty the Grand Forks editor
may offer the pipe of peace to the man
from Pembina.
LaMoure has been fighting Winship
for years, and the Grand Forks edi-
tor has retaliated wherever an oppor-
tunity offered. Winship has also Bit
terly fought Bulge, the republican
leader in Grand. Forks. who has been
one of the closest friends of the Penn
bina chteftain.
As to the action of the state conven-
ton on the issues that were fought
out in the campaign, 1t is likely that
Governor Sarles will be renominated
and the state administration Endorsed.
That seems to be the general senti-
ment through the state. Having de-
feated the insurgents in the campaign
in the state, the stalwarts will hardly
fail to reap the fruits of victory by
discussions among themselves. There
are several offices for which candidates
will probably declare themselves from
some Of the big counties that are not
now represented, and thus enable the
convention to make fair geographic
cal distribution. OF Congressman Mar
shall's denomination there has never
been any doubt, and Congressman
Gronna will come to the convention
with nearly the entire Nelson county
delegation, SO that he will in all prob
ability be returned.
As to the legislature, returns from
the republican nominations show that
the stalwarts have nominated their
men to the number of about ffty-five
and the insurgents to the number of
forty-five. This will give the stalwarts
majority of ten in the lower house,
provided the candidates are elected as
nominated. Under the primary law,
with large republican majority in
every legislative district in the state,
the nomination seems equivalent to
an election. The senate, by the same
reasoning, will stand about twenty
three stalwarts and seventeen insur-
gents. This will make both houses
close enough to make some lively ses-
sions when there is an issue of party
policy.
