liant prospects,.
The managers have all had a NOR.
that it would not do to go into the
until the entire ticket had
been determined upon and agreed to-:
Seeing no chance for an agreement be-
tween the friends Of Mr.. Mclaughlin
and those of Mr.. Strand, they picked
o. G. Doken of Deuel. county as a com
promise candidate. =
His location in part of the state
which had not been recognized in the
of offices and the fact
that his county Topped to the. insur.
gents some time between the holding Of
the primaries and the county convention
were strong factors in his favor.
Up to the opening Of the convention
at noon the managers were trying to
mollify Mr.. Mclaughlin by the promise
of some good appointive office and it
is probable he will be satisfied in some
manner. Mr.. Strand and his friends as
late as this forenoon had not given up
the fight and were ready. to make vari-
GUS promises and pledges to McLaugh-
lin in the hope of gaining support from
him..
Dokken, however, was clearly on the
slate and his nomination will be made
late this afternoon or this evening.
Program Is "Per slate.' -.
The preliminary program Of the con-
vention was exactly as outlined yester-
temporary chairman and Frank Nc
Nulty Of Roberts permanent chairman.
There was every indication that the
convention would move off with the pre-
cision Of clockwork. l.. B. French Of
Yankton will present the name Of Sen
ator Gamble to the convention and A.
w. Wilmarth of Huron will present Mr..
Crawford. Aubrey Lawrence of Brook
ings will present the name of his law
partner, Mr.. Hall, for member of con-
gress. $3.50 o.:
:, The Case Of Colonel Parker.
: AS stated in. late. dispatches, yester-
day the tide turned so strongly in IA
vor Of Colonel Parker, that his nomi
nation is Sconceded except by a. few
intense partizans Of Mr.. Eanriek. The
result will leave some sore spots in the
Pennington county delegation; which is
backing Emriek, and it is asserted that
Senator Gamble will suffer some loss in
the legislature because Of it. The sena.
tor has been from the start one of the
chief props Of Colonel Parker and is
for the downfall of their candidate
Late this forenoon overtures were being
made to the Emrick men to accept some
other reward than that Of congressman
for the share they had taken in the
great insurgent victory. Friends OF
Colonel Parker are disposed to belittle
the victory Of the Emrick men in Penn
ington county and assert that it was
more Of a band-wagon affair than any
thing else. This version Of the trouble
is vigorously combated by Mr.. EN-
rick IS friends. In case Il the latter
name goes before the convention it viii
be presented by A. K. Gardner, chair
man of the Pennington county delega
tion. ; "
Only Two Contests Left. +.
All Of the contests before the con
vention have been dropped except thu
one from Codington county, and posi-
former W. S. Glass will present TIL
cause of Mr.. Mclaughlin, the insur
gent, and G. W. Case will speak TO
Mr.. Cory, the machine candidate. o.
the face of the returns from the pri
maries Mr.. Mclaughlin was clearl,
beaten in the county, but he oh ,rge
that this was brought about by fraudu
lent voting permitted by the machin
mon In WATERFOWL. - ~ "'..' -
AT the county convention he cor
tested all the delegates from Waite,
still keep control of the preliminar
organization, contested all the M
Laughlin delegations outside of Water

gates organized. the convention.
