CONVENTION NOTES.

A number of the windows of our
business houses were decorated very
nicely in honor Of tn convention One
of the most unique was that of 7. A.
Roell, the hardwareman. Mr.. Roell
secured seven little wolves and placed
them in the windows, where they
romped with each other, drawing
large crowds. A sign in the window
created much comment: eve are
agin the government, Signed, Mary
Wolf, Johnnie Wolf, Carrie Wolf,
Jimmie Wolf, Lizzie Wolf, Billie
Wolf and Charlie WOLF
One Of the attractions not exactly
On the convention program, was the
extemporaneous speech made bv
Mayor Clark Thursday afternoon. Mr..
Clark went on to say that he was
sorry the weather would not permit
taking the delegates about the city,
otherwise he would show them the
two million dollars worth Ct city prop
erty, the cite for the new 100000
Methodist hospital, the location Of the
new Elks home and hat OF the govern
ment building. Mr.. Clark in t1e way
of explanation said, "And let me tell
you hat while the building is going
to cost the government 3e5O,OO0, all
it cost the city Of Minpt was a Hans
'brough banquet" Hans sat in the
audience and tears actually flowed
down his cheeks Ehsp. the Mayor was
unkind enough t. refer to the banquet.
Ole Axvig, one of the best known
men in the state, was 4presentsat the
convention today and Ole sat in the
lIiont row, hands folded in front OF

disappointed" Ole wired to st.

An adjournment was then taken
until 2:30 p. m.
Promptly at $3.50 the convention
again came to order and listened to
an address of welcome from Mayor
Sam H. Clark.
The committee on credentials
] brought in a majority report recon-
mending that the list of delegates as
passed by the central committee be
| adopted. There was also a minority
report recommending the unseating of
the stalwart delegation in Rolette and
Dddy counties. A vote by roll call
was demanded and after a good deal
Of discussion the first test Of strength
in the convention took place. The
minority report was defeated by a
vote of 1856 to. 28S. This. showed the
relative strength of both factions and
in all the other roll call during the
day there were only slight gains by
the insurgents.
The report of the committee on or
ganization was adopted making the
temporary organization permanent.
The most lively scrap of the con-
vention occurred over the adoption of
the report of the committee on rules
and order of business. TIE majority
report did not provide cor the choosing
of national committeeman. Major
Frame Of Walsh county moved the
adoption of the minority report in
Guiding the choosing of a national
mittee man with the cher business.
After. an extended discussion with
Frame and Smith of Walsh, Ryan Of
Wells, Col. Peake Of Barnes in favor
of the minority report and Stevens
Of Burleigh and Turner of Cass lead
ing the stalwart hosts in opposition
the majority report was adopted bv a
vote of 266 to $50, the insurgents
making gain of "a on this vote.
