lllsufgent Leaders Express
Themselves Satisfied
Over Treatment

Minot, N. D., May 15.-Special to
the Tribune.-Peace, good will and a
general support of the Republican
party at teh polls seems to be the
sentiment of the delegates still here
today. A careful search of the party
workers fails to reveal any who are
dissatisfied with the result Of the
convention yesterday and once more
the Grand Old Party will be able to
present solid front to the Demo-
Gratis next November.
It was stated here that H. Bendeke
of Grand Forks, Treadwell Twichen
of Cass, M. NJ. johnson of Nelson,
and several others prominently iden-
titled with the Insurgent movement
have expressed themselves as being
content with the action of the con-
vention as representing the wish of a
majority Of the party. J. Austin
| Regan publically stated that he was
perfectly willing to abide by the will
| of the majority and he would still
| give his loyal support for the best
good of the party.
The absence of complaint of any
| kind about unfair treatment was no.
ticible today. The general good will
| which prevailed during the meeting
seems to have extended through the
state and representatives from all To-
| calities are loudly proclaiming that
| tehy are no longer Stalwarts or In
surgents but are Republicans. Tom
| Hall Of Fargo, secretary of the In
surgent organization, stated that he
would certainly support the will of
| he party as announced by the action
of the convention and no matter who
the candidate chosen at the June pri-
maries he twill be found working
for the Republican principles.
/ James Kennedy of Fargo, the new
national committeeman, is today re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
many friends. He takes it all mod
estly and has stated that he will try
to carry forward the good work be
gun in such a manner that North
Dakota will always be counted as a
sure Republican state from the CUB
material chair down. The selection of
Mr.. Kennedy has given chance for
the friends of Alexander Mckenzie
to call attention to the fact that he
| was Endorsed by an overwhelming
majority of the voters of the state
and it is conceded by the Insurgents
|
| have been reelected to the office,
1 and only his often expressed desire
to retire from active participation
forcing the position on him for an
other term.
The selection of Mr.. Kennedy is
polite move He has host of per-
| ri IN
recognized as a man of true worth
and ability, while his expressed
principles of Republicanism nsures
continuation of the policies that
have placed the state among the
foremost of the Union in following
the principles of Lincoln, Grant and
Roosevelt
Among the candidates gathered at
Minot to attend the convention Col.
C. B. Little is the most pleased as
the result of the convention as it
gives him big lead in the senatorial
contest Three other candidates al
lied their forces against the Stalwarts
placing Mr. Little in the position of
being the only candidate of the ma
jority The colonel must have
constitution of iron, as he was not
allowed to gain much sleep last night
| owing to the host of admirers and
friends who crowded his room to
shower congratulations upon him.
G. A. Johnson, candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination also took a
J. large part in the jollifcation which
followed the meeting. Mr.. Johnson
spent the past week in making things
as pleasant as he could for the visi-
tors to his home town. 1t mattered
not what party visitor affiliated
with, he was welcomed by Mr.. john
son in a hospitable manner.
J Secretary of State Blaisdell also
contributed to the hospitality extend
, ed the visitors and it was stated that
/ he stood up for two nights that some
: of the visitors might have his bed.
Among the visiting candidates who
: were especially mentioned at the con.
: vention were Hon. L. B. Hanna, who
. was called upon for speech during
Y a recess, but he preferred to take nc
part in the deliberations in any wa.
and did not respond. Hon. w. G
/. Gilbreath, commissioner of agricul
