Grand Forks. George H. Stone of
Hettinger was elected temporary sec
rotary. A motion by Mr.. Turner
that the list of delegates as prepared
by the state central committee be
seated was carried.
Senator McCumber made rousing
speech in favor of harmony. He
said Republicans should subordinate
their personal feelings to the well
fare of the party of Lincoln, Garfield
and Mckinley. He said the Republi-
can party has never made any serious
mistakes in the selection of presi-
dent of the United States. Senator
McCumber's reference to Roosevelt
brought fourth a chorus of applause.
The senator made plea for the reg
ulation of corporations and the elm
ination of inflated values. He said
the party should look to the future.
Future opportunity is more i'm
portant than present prosperity"
said the senator. 'sIt is not for us to
name the president of the United
States, but believe the people have
already picked the man. 1 believe
that man is big enough and brave
enough to see that every citizen in
the United States gets fair treatment
and his name is Taft"
This was greeted with thunderous
applause.
The senator said that while there
are people in North Dakota called
Stalwarts and Insurgents, there is
only one Republican party. He said
that all the good people were not on
one side and all the bad on the other.
fractional strife, he said, is the re-
suit of misunderstanding and that
the factions should get together and
rally to the support of the Republi-
can nominees when they are chosen.
Mr.. Wineman of Grand Forks,
moved that the chairman appoint a
committee of five to pass on creden-
tials. Mr.. Simpson of Stark offered
an amendment that the committee
consist of fifteen members. The mo-
ton as amended was carried.
Mr.. Stevens of Burleigh, moved
that the chair appoint a committee
of fifteen on resolutions and that all
resolutions be presented to the COM
mittee. Senator Regan Of Fessenden
offered an amendment that the reso-
lutions be referred to the committee
prior to the report of the committee
on the convention. Mr.. Stevens in
sisted that all resolutions should be
presented first to the committee.
Mr.. Wineman argued in favor of
the Regain amendment on the ground
that any delegate should be allowed
to offer any resolution to the con-
vention at any time. Senator McCum-
Der said that the rule of parliament
tary practice is that any resolution
may be presented to the convention
at any time. Senator Regain then
withdrew his amendment.
fifteen on permanent organization
and rules and order of business were
adopted.

DISTANT VIEW
OF PROCEEDINGS
MINOT CONVENTION
CORRESPONDENT FROM NORTH
ERN HIGHLAND co. WRITES
OF THE RESULT.

Christine, N. D., May 19.-(Special
Correspondence)-The voters of nor
thern Richland county are deeply in
terested in the workings at the Minot
Republican convention. A leading fea-
ture in the investigation of contesting
delegations was the deep interest and
patience manifested by the state cen.
trail committee. The decision in the
Mclean county contest marks an
epoch of stalwart honor toward all
concerned. The delegation was seat
ed by a viva voce vote, so that every
voter placed himself upon open rec
ord
The action of the chairman, L. B.
Hanna, is the subject of public ap-
proval. His magnanimity and noble
craftsmanship was expressed in these
words: "The chair believes that
every one who can give light or in
formation in relation to contest
should be heard, so that the commit
tee may act wisely and honorably to
all parties concerned" This method
prevailed, and the solution of contest
ing problems was properly and honor
ably effected. Thus fairness and
franknsss won a victory, and Chair
man Hanna received merited honor
and praise.
The majority was seated against the
law, equity and precedence in the
case-as established by political bod
les, but the state central committee
decided that the county committee
had no right to depose the chairman
of the county central committee
Never did the Republicans of
North Dakota face vital issues with a
better manifestation Of calm compos-
ure and dignity Senator P. ]. Nc
Cumber, as chairman, broke down
every barrier of opposition by de-
claring that every man should have
his say, and every resolution, from
any and every source, should be
brought up in open convention.
The greatest surprise of all the
convention came when Hon. e. Smith
Peterson representing the insurgent
brothers) placed in nomination Mr..
Sprague of Grafton as a suitable can
didate for the office of national COM
mitteeman. Winding up forceful
address, MIR. Smith said: 1--WE are not
bringing this candidate up because
the present representative is not an
upright man" Thus, from the insur-
gent sky fell the Endorsement of Alex
ander McKenzie-"an upright man.
Mr.. Smith said that Alexander Nc
eKnzie was IAN upright man." but
people had talked about him. People
talk about upright men, and often try
to turn that which is straight crook
ed But the vender of scandal can
never reach the heights of manly
fame over the blackened reputation of
an upright man." After the conyen.

ofThe second fight came on the re-
port of the committee on rules and
order of business. The Insurgents
brought in minority report recon-
mending that the national commit
eeman be elected on the floor of the
convention instead of by the nation
al delegates. r. N. Stevens of Bur-
leigh argued in support of the ma
jority report and Mr.. Frame of
Wash and E. Smith Peterson of
Walsh in support of the minority re-
port.

carry their minority report, there

same line as Mr.. Streeter.

The first fight of the convention
came on the report of the committee
on credentials which was to the eff
feet that all delegates passed upon
by the state central committee should
be seated. This meant the accep-
tance Of the state central committees
action on the contests, giving Nc
Lean county with 10 delegtes Dick
ey county with and one-half of Rol-
cite county, delegates, to the In
surgents and Eddy with 6 delegates
and one-half of Rolette county, 4 del
egates, to the Stalwarts. J. B. Wine
man of Grand Forks, brought in a
minority report recommending that
all the Insurgent delegates from Roll
cite county and from Eddy be seated.
Wineman made fry speech in favor
of the minority report and L. A. Hall
of Rolette county, in favor of the ma
jority report. G. E. Showers Of Cass
made rousing speech in favor OF
majority rule, as the committee had
decided eleven to three in favor OF
the action of the state central com.
mittee. A roll call was demanded
on the acceptance of the minority re-
port.
The vote was as follows:
Yes. No

Bowdish as secretary. The meeting
directed the chair to appoint coni>
mittee on resolutions.
H. C. 10y, John Boherer, Jr., and l..
L. Meads were appointed as such COM
mittee, who soon prepared and pre-
sented to the meeting the following
preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted by the meeting, al
though there was a clam-like interest
exhibited in the Endorsement of state
it was not known what they stand for.
Attorney Crawford got his ISLAM"
properly. In his connection with the
Nine Township" suit it seems that
Crawford is the attorney of the cat
tie kings of the western part of Mer.
Ger county, and is endeavoring
thru the courts to rob the county of
these nine townships, besides estop-
ping the payment of more than $4,000
in taxes that is past due, and this
same Crawford is a candidate for the
office of district Judge in the same
district that Marcer county is part.
It was brought out in discussion that
the question of detaching the nine
townships from Mercer county was in
the supreme court, and when the case
was called last winter there was a mo-
tion made to drop the matter or dis
miss the case through the slippy-
sloppy methods of Mercer county's at
torney. This was done, and he report
ed that the case was settled in favor
of Mercer county, but subsequent
events show that our bubble has burst
and the cattle king has commenced
another action in the district court,
and the matter will be thrashed out
later. possibly before Crawford
should be elected district Judge,
and as a consequence the meet
ing decided Crawford an undesirable
candidate and should be branded N.G.
by the voters Of the county.
It SCENE to be the sense of the
meeting that if the ex-sheriff of Mer.
Ger county, who resigned for good rea-
sons and now is candidate for cleo
tion to the same office, and our states
attorney were buried politically, that
the affairs of Mercer county would be
run more smoothly in the future than
it has been run in the past.
The Resolution as Adopted.
w uOi Cdo, VIC ulO III CoASSnIlOA do
sembled, believe it important and for
the best interests of Mercer county to
| select men of known ability, honesty
and integrity to administer the affairs
of the county; and,
Whereas, We recognize that the
| only and proper way to relieve the
county of and restrain the political
pinhead, is by the united action of the
voters at the ballot box; and,
Whereas. A mans business and so
cial standing is properly open to
public criticism as soon as he an.
nounces himself candidate for an of
fee of publis trust; and,
Whereas, The only true way to
Judge a mans future business meth.
DDS is by his past acts; and,

for Mercer county for two terms; and

Dakota, thereby entailing much tn

Senator P. ]. McCumber of Wahpe-
ton was chosen as temporary chair
mann by the state central committee
and his choice was agreed to be wise
and judicious. Senator McCumber
presided with the greatest fairness,
giving everyone an opportunity to
express himself on the floor. There
was no suggestion of gag rule or
the rushing through of any prepared
program without regard for the voice
of the majority of the convention,
and Senator McCumber's rulings
were fair, just and impartial
throughout.
He was escorted to the chair by

ton MIR. Smith-Peterson was inter
viewed by a member of the Associat-
ed Press, and on Interrogation said:
Eyes, I meant what I said on the floor
of the convention"
Now, with Alexander Mckenzie in
dorsed by our insurgant brothers,
with their promise of loyalty to the
Republican party in the coming con-
test, We go forth into the coming cam
paign as united brotherhood, one
grand body of Republicans, and our
Democratic opponents will have to say
of us, Behold how good a thing it is
for brethren to dwell together in
unity"

The delegates chosen to the ma
tional convention met later and Sc
lected James Kennedy of Fargo as
national committeeman and Judson
LaMoure as chairman of the dele
cation to Chicago.
Alexander Mckenzie, leader Of the
Stalwarts, said after the convention:
Il am very much pleased with
the action of the convention. Good
feeling seems to prevail. The con-
sensus of opinion seems to be that
Insurgents and Stalwarts alike were
treated eminently fairly and that the
will of the majority was carried out
in the convention in an orderly man
ner.
There is no reason why the In
surgents and the Stalwarts cannot
get together and North Dakota con-
states of the union. / believe that
Taft will carry North Dakota by an
overwhelming majority.
Personally / cannot help being
pleased with the action of the con-
vention. For some unaccountab1e
reason the Insurgents made me the
issue in this fight. I have stated
that they (the Insurgents) attacked
me. 1 was forced into the fight. /
can't understand why the Insurgents
should pick me out as the object of
their attack. I started out by driv-
ing spikes in railroad ties, and I am
not big enough and smart enough
man to be made the issue of a po-
litical fight in great state like
North Dakota. But since they made
me the issue I feel pretty good that
have a few friends left"

A letter asking for the arrest OF

ing to $3.50 is offered for his capture.
Neiman was arrested within the
county courtyard and admits that

/ out resistance.
