as a unit we're unanimously adopted.

mass convention Of the republican
electors of Bowman county, held
here, five delegates to the republican
state convention at Minot were
elected. After some discussion it was
decided to send the delegates unin-
stru:ted, although each member OF

last and all the time.

warts will control the Nelson county
republican convention tomorrow as a
result Of the outcome of the cauouses

Darlington, N. D., April 13.-The
Foster county republican convention
was held Saturday to select delegates
to Minot. There was good attend
ance and practically no opposition TO

Fargo, N. D., April, 13.-From
latest advices received at the Taft
club headquarters, the following is
the result Of ..the republican county
con INVENTIONS already held: .Stalwart,
1872; 1nsurgent 81; Hansbrough, 10;
Doubtful, IA. Forty votes are con-
ceded to the insurgents as follows:
Grand Forks, II; Trail, 8; Dickey,
9; Griggs, S. This estimate gives the
stalwarts 335 votes in the convention
which will require but 224 votes to
control. The insurgents strength is
placed at l03, without the eight
votes OF Rolette county, which it is
thought they cannot hold in the con-
test. owing to an illegal apportion-
ment and passing motions without
taking vote.
At the meeting of the executive
committee of the insurgents held
here on Saturday. the executive COM
mittee announced that G.. L. Bick-
ford of Bowbells will become candi-
date for state treasurer and r. w.
Main of Cando, for railroad commis-
sioner.
--Hon. G. A. Johnson. candidate for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor, was in Fargo yesterday for
consultation with some Of the party
leaders. He is pleased over the pros

He said: "This week l have Wis.,

campaigning-Bottin McHenry,
Ward and Williams counties in the
northwestern part Of the state, and
I find the staIwart sentiment grow
Ing hourly with men who have no
political axes to grind. They regard
the insurgents as combination of
ofticeseekers, and the holding of their
convention at Grand Forks against
party organization in defiance of the
primary law which they want should
have a fair trial on its merits.
'Next week / will visit Adams,
Emmons, Mcintosh, Morton and Het-
finger counties in the southwestern
part ofethe state to further feel out
the real republican sentiment"
Mr.. johnson added that the abuse
of party leaders by insnrgent papers
and candidates is proving bonner
+ang.
In Benson county the republican
convention was controlled by the
salwarts, the test votes being about
Al to 20 in favor of TIE former. The
resolutions favor Taft. At Warwick.
The insurgent claim of the delega-
tion is hardly warranted according to
Banker Hangland of Warwick, who
also reported that Hon. L. B. Hanna
addressed a mass meeting Of the re-
publicans..of that section, after which
he was given a banquet BY about
thirty-fve of the business men. The
