his motives as a leadrer have been
SO persistently misrepresented that
fair minded people have been led to
form an unfavorable opinion of him.
During the convention some of his
political opponents wished to inject
into the resolutions an anti-McKenzie
sentiment, but realizing that his
friends would defend him as vigor-
ously and that they were in the large
majority, such campaign fireworks
were wisely omitted.
In the campaign Mckenzie defend

energy such as any man under SINH

friends rallied to his support from
every part Of the state and the re-
suits showed that the large majority
of the delegates in the Minot con.

raking methods employed by many OF

early announced his decision to not
be candidate for any honor or ofice

this was only q ruse and that If he
