TION IN WHICH THE ROOSE.
WELT POLICIES AND SECRETARY
TAFT ARE HEARTILY ENDORSED

As are also Hon. A. b. Kittridge fer
Senator and E. w. Martin and Chas.
H. Burke for Congressmen
The republican convention
last Tuesday was more like q
love feast than anything the par
ty has had in the way of con-
vention in this county for soma
time. The two or three insur.
gent bosses in Milbank who are
generally on hand to stir things
up were conspicuous by their ab-
sence, and their following in the
county has become so small that
even though they summoned the
high boss from Minneapolis,
there wasn't enough of the
wreck left after the people got at
them in the primaries to hope
for any salvage, and they very
kindly consented to let the old
hulk 60 down without a strug-
gle.
After reading the call County
Chairman Nixson asked the
pleasure of the convention, and
w. w. Reeve nominated I D AL
drich for temporary chairman
and S. S. Lockhart nominated
Nels Forsberg for secretary,
and they were unanimously el-
ected.

lowing committees were appoint

Fuller was called upon for .

tribute to Theodore Rooseve,t,
fr-s.laracterlzing him not only as
one of the greatest of our presi-
dents, but as the foremost man
