mitteeman, each saw some benefit to
his candidacy, and both saw the de-
afss of the positive StalWarts as the
first step to his own ends.
But the plans miscarried because
the people of the state saw through
his petty scheme and neither Marsh
all nor Hansbrough alone nor both
together were able to develop enough
strength to bring things to pass as
they desired. The positive Stalwart
strength was two-thirds of the con-
vention, and in allying themselves
with the Insurgents for selfish pur-
poses, both candidates lost the last
ing Stalwart votes at the primaries.
AS a consequence of the result
there, Mr. Little, who has all along
been consistent Republican and a
Stalwart, and who had behind him
nearly the solid vote of the western
part of the state, as we'll as the big
counties of Cass and Ward, is the
candidate of the Stalwarts. The In
surgent strength is divided among
Johnson, who is about the only con-
sistent Insurgent candidate; Marsh
all, who played for the Insurgent in
dorsement at the lamented Grand
Forks convention. and Hansbrough,
who butted into the Insurgent camp
in an effort to punish his old sup
porters, who would have no more of
him.
AS result of the developments at
Minot, Little has received pledges of
support from many sources, not omit
ting Insurgents. The people as a
whole are pretty just in thir esti-
mates Of men, and when the hypoc-
hrisy. and political trickery of some
other candidates was indicated by
their attitude in the convention, SEN
timent naturally was swerved in fav-
or Of the straight out, clean cut and
admirable campaign methods of Lit
tie, who has not sought to be trim
mer in various parts of the state,
who is a straight-away candidate,
pledged to the good service of the
people of the state and as square
in his politics as he is in his bust
ness dealings.

SEN. PLA1T
DENIES IT ALL
New FORKS Senior Senator
Makes General Denial
in Woods Case
Says His Signature on Mar.
fiage Certificate Is
Not Genuine

New York, May 20-Physically so
weak that practically he had to be
carried in and out of the court room,
United States Senator Thomas G..
Plat was at times spirited witness
today, when he appeared to testify
in his own behalf in Mae G. Wood s
suit for absolute divorce from him.
His denial of all the charges brought
when prodded too hard by counsel,
the aged senator proved himself cap.
able of vigorous responses.
While the defendant, in the action
was in the court room much of the
day, Miss Wood, the plaintiff, did not
attend the trial today
The presentation of the case for the
defense. aside from Senator Platt's
own testimony, was marked by a
sharp attack on the authenticity of
the marriage certificate which Miss
Wood offered in evidence to support
her contention of matrimonial con-
tract with the senator. This was fol
lowed by an effort to show that the
letter in which Senator Plat is said
to have admitted his marriage to Miss
Wood, was written over his signature
on a blank sheet of paper to which he
previously affixed his autograph on
the request of two women, applicants
for it, while he was stopping at the
Hotel Arlington in this city in 1906.
Senator Plat himself, in his testi-
mony, categorically denied that he
ever married or promised to marry
the plaintiff; repudiated the signature
purporting to be his on the marriage
certificate and the genuineness OF
several letters which Miss Wood tes.
titled came from him.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
session Justice O'Gorman announced
that the trial must conclude with to
morrow's sessions, no matter how late
a sitting of the court that might in
| yolve.

.DISOBEYED
INSTRUCTIONS

= .
Ray Recorder: 1t would appear
that the Hansbrough forces were
working with the insurgents, as the
Ramsey county delegation, of which
the senator was member, voted nine
for and one against the insurgents
and it seemed to be the opinion OF
those present that he would throw his
strength to the insurgents at the right
time. This, however, can be ascer
tanned after the primaries next month
The Williams county delegation ig-
nored their instructions to vote as 9
unit and voted five for the insurgents
and four for the stalwarts. One dele
gate from the north lost his vote or
account of not having his proxy regu
larly made out, so the delegation viii
go down in history as being insurgent
when in reality the sentiment was
not that way.

LITTLE is CHOICE
OF BIG MAJORITY

Minot correspondent in Fargo For
UNI: The outcome OF the MinoI con-
vention has put c. 3. Little of Bis
marck, far in the lead as the candi-
date for the United States senate.
Mr.. Little was present during the
convention and met thousands of vot-
ers from different paris of the state
and made splendid impression. His
fairness, his good, every day common
sense, his loyal ReDnb:canism and
the united support of his section Of
the state has made him The most
formidable candidate in the race, and
that he will receive the united Stall
wart support of the stare, as well as
the votes of number of Insurgents
who admire clean fighter, a good
business man and clsver gentleman,
is evident.
The Minot convention gave oppo.-
tunity for pretty good line upon
the senatorial situation. Little had
the positive strength Of the Stalwarts
through the state, Marshall had
Dickey county and not mucn strength
was developed by him in his own jul
dicial district. Hansbronsh was al
igned with the Insurgents and his to-
tai strength in the convention and
among the delegates was less than
that of any of the candidates. Lead
ing political observers through the
state figure that the sorry showing
made by Hansbrough at Minot puts
him out of the running as a senator
ial candidate and that Little will
have the active Stalwart strength,
that is of value in political cam
paign. Hansbrough' friends admit
that he made tactical mistake in
ranking himself with the Insurgent
forces. It deprives him of the logic
al right to seek support at the hands
of the Stalwarts and he cannot ex-
pect to gain part of the. Grand
Forks county delegation that was
ruthlessly turned down by the Grand
Forks county convention.
The Observation-Disclosures alliance
which has been SO vigorously denied
by both gentlemen, was pretty well
evidenced at the Minot convention
if any more evidence of it were need
ed. Both were with the Insurgent
combine and all of the delegates
that either was able to control voted
with the Insurgents. Not even the
veriest tyro in politics believes thai
political principles entered at all into
this alliance. Both Hansbrough and
Marshall have always been with the
Stalwart element, up to the time
that Marshall became candidate
for the senate and Hansbrough found
that the Stalwart leaders OF the state
would not longer tolerate his demand
to rule the party and perpetuate him
self In the Office of senator. Wher
these things happened both candi
dates sought to ally themselves will
the Insurgents and take advantage o.
the movement In the various countie.
for their own purpose. The first thinf
to be done was to demonstrate tina
the Stalwart faction would be de
feated at Minot, and when this wa.
done, each was to get what strength
he could out OF whatever combina
tions could be made. with the pres
tige Of naming delegates to Chicag,
and Of securing the national com

GlFFEY Won
Pensy's Democratic Leader
Succeeds in Shutting Out
Bryan Instructions
Not That He Is Opposed to
Bryan But to Main
tain Himself

Harrisburg, Pa, May 2O.-After
one of the hardest fights within the
party for several years, the Demo
cratic state convention here today
decided not to instruct it's delegates
at large to the Denver convention
for Bryan. It was clean cut victory
for the Democratic organization,
headed by Col. Jas. M. Guffey of
Pittsburg, Pa, member Of the ma
tional committee
Col. Guffey maintained all along
that he and his friends would con-
troll the convention but their claims
were always disputed by the lead
ers of the faction who were in favor
of issuing binding instructions for
Bryan.
The Bryanites, under the leader
ship Of the executive committee OF
the Bryan Democratic league, had a
Z large following and they fought to
the bitter end. While feeling ran
high in the convention, which was
at times very disorderly, no person
alities we're INDUCED IN, and when
y the followers of Bryan found that
I they were in the minority they &C
guessed and the convention quickly
came to a close.
Col. Guffey and his supporters be
lieved that the fight made to instruct
delegates at large against his advice
was more of a contest to depose him
as state leader than it was contest
in the interests of Bryan. Col. Cuff
U fey anticipates no trouble in being
reelected national committeeman by
