The stat econvention of the Repub-
lican party of South Dakota, between
the hours of noon Tuesday and 2
o'clock Wednesday morning, placed in
nomination the above ticket. In some
respects the convention was unique,
it's decisions making the overturning
OF the organization of the party in the
state and a complete change in the
personnel Of the state officers to be
elected this year, with the exception
Of secretary of state. 1t also included
the selection of new representatives
OF the state in congress- There were
a number Of dramatic scenes in the
convention, but the delegates were
good natured, and what appearance
there may have been of impatience
was due to the lateness of the hours
into which the convention was pro-
longed, and not to any attempt to de-
prive any one of fair hearing.
E. C. Erickson of Elk Point, as tenn
porary chair~an very ably steered
the cOnventil through the prelimin-
ary work, and Frank McNulty of Rob
erts county showed his ability to han
die the large body of delegates during
some of the stirring scenes that
marked the regular business of the
permanent organization. ]. w. Cone
Of Sioux Falls, who acted as secre-
tary, both temporary and permanent
gave general satisfaction.
A large number of speeches were
made during the evening sessions,
nearly eve.y candidate, both success
full and defeated, being called to the
platform, and the general note of the
remarks made was for loyalty to the
party and harmonious support Of the
ticket nominated.
The climax Of the convention was
the ovation given to the nominee for
governor, Coe 1. Crawford, when he
appeared on the platform after his
nomination by vote of 893 to 476
for Governor Elrod.
At 1910 p. m. Tuesday Chairman
Cram called the convention to order.
The invocation was given by Rev.
G. G. Notson of Pierre, followed by
the reading of the call by Secretary
Warner of the state central commit
tee. Mr.. Elliott of Bon Homme coun-
ty then presented the name Of Mr..
Erickson Of Union county for tempo
rary chairman. The name of c.. H.
Dillon of Yankton county was pre-
sented by I. A. Auld of Lyman coun-
ty, but Mr.. Dillon declined the honor.
Erickson's nomination, and he was
elected by acclamation. Mr.. Elliott
and Mr.. Roddle were then appointed
by the chair to escort Mr.. Erickson to
the platform, where he was greeted
by a round of applause
In a brief address he thanked the
convention for the honor conferred
upon him.
Jenkins of Brookings then moved
that temporary secretary OF the con-
vention be appointed, and, upon mo-
tion of ]. A. Picker of Faulk county,
y. w. SOIlc III was OlCNCNO
to that place.
The committees on credentials, per-
manent organization and resolutions
were then appointed, after which the
convention adjourned until Z o'clock.
There was delay in calling the con-
vention to order in the evening, ow-
ing to the fact that the credentials
committee were still wrestling with
the contesting delegations.
At TAO Chairman Erickson called
the convention to order and an
Fnounced that the credentials commit
tee was not yet ready to report A
motion to adjourn to 9 o'clock was
carried.
Once more at 9:15 o'clock Chair
man Erickson raped the convention
to order.
At 9:35 the committee on creden-
tials appeared with its report. The
report seated the Cary delegation in
