The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1906-06-20

necessary to decide 1t. There were
two sets of state delegates, one call
ed the Young-Pray- combination,
and the other the Combs Wellwood
delegates. The former were unpledg-
ed but understood to be against the
machine. The latter pledged them
selves in a published platform to op-
pose the gang, and declared them
selves to be unalterably opposed to
State Senator George NJ. Young. The
Young-Pray Cox Mudgett delegates
won out all but two, one of the ex-
ceptions being S. A. Nye, Senator
Hanshrough's enemy. 1t is not quite
clear here what the delegates elect
ed will do in case Governor Sarles is a
candidate, for denomination. Some
are thought to be friendly to him,
notably VIM. Coop, a director of the
Bank of Valley City of which Cover
nor Sarles is president. 1t is also
uncertain whether this county will
present a candidate for any state Of
fee. All the delegates elected are
known to be friendly to Senator
Young, but he has said nothing as to
his intentions. 1t is probable that the
delegates elected will meet soon and
agree upon the course to be pursued
in the convention. Cor. V.

Cavalier County.
Langdon, n. D., June 20.-The dele
cation from this county is solid for
the stalWarts, although it was thought
in the first place that only a portion
of the delegates were elected.
Dickey County.
Glendale, N. D., June 2O.-There
was an attempt to break into the Mar
shall delegation by running on sep
arate petition, but this signally fail
ed and the stalwart delegation was
Overwhelmingly elected.
Eddy County.
New Rockford, N. D., June 2O.-The
machine secured the election of four
of the six delegates in this county
sure, and there is a possibility that
the other two are also safe. Severt-
son for the house is well ahead with
two precincts in Foster county TO
hear from, which will probably in
crease his lead. 1t may take the Of
fetal count to determine his cleo
ton.
Grand Forks.
Grand Forks, N. d., June 2O-The
stalwarts carried the city but the
country went with the insurgents by
so heavy a majority that the insur-
gent ticket is nominated.
Griggs County.
Cocperstown, N. D., June 20-This
county is insurgent and Senator Crane
gets denomination. The Judge Of
election in Dover township forgot
about the election and went away, and
the result was that sixty voters could
not cast their ballots, as the election
supplies could not be found. The DEM
ocrats in this county all voted the re-
publican ticket.

cation here was elected without any
trouble, and will stand with the stall
warts in the state convention.
Ransom County.
Lisbon, NJ d., June 20-Returns
are in from all except four precincts
which may east $50 votes. The dele
gates to the state convention had no
opposition. Senator Pierce is re-
nominated by about 364 majority over
Oium. Jones seems sure Of being
one of the house nominees. as he is
eighty votes above his nearest op-
ponent; the contest for the other
place seems between Major Buttz and
Mr.. Goldberg and the latter is TWEEN
ty ahead.
Steele County.
Hope, N. D., June 90 The insurgent
ticket was the only one uD for dele-
gates and 1t was elected. Moores had
an excellent run in this county, but
is beaten by Crane in the district for
the senate.

insurgents were defeated in this city
by $50 and the county is strongly
