vention. Two of the nineteen mem
bers of the resolution committee
presented the platform plank to this
effect which they asked to be made
an addition" to the platform. They
did not move that it be substituted
for the majority report, but Chair
man Works declared that he would
consider a minority report as an
amendment and the defeat of the
Bryan faction came about on the
motion to substitute the minority re-
port for that Of the majority.
The fight at times was warm while
the debate on the platform was in
progress, but there was nothing ap-
preaching disorder at any time. c..
e. Asley, a Bryan orator, who made
the leading speech of the side, was,
after he had spoken at considerable
length, cordially invitd by weary
Johnson delegates to "shut up and
when a moment later he addressed
the convention as "my friends" he
was informed that he had talked so
long that he "had no friends but
beyond this there was no unpleasant
remarks offered on either side.
All political questions aside from
the convention of today was through
out flattering tribut to Governor
Johnson Enthusiasm for him was
unbounded and sincere. Every men
ton of his name was instantly fol-
lowed by wild applause and the final
adoption Of the platform formally in
dorsing him and instructing MINES
ota to fight for him at Denver was
followed by demonstration of en-
thusiastic loyalty of which any man
might feel proud.
The following delegates and alter
mates at large were chosen: HI. Ham
mond, st. James; Frank A. Day
Fairmount; F. C. Winston, Minneap-
oils: Swan Turnblad, Minneapolis;
Daniel w. Lawler, st. Paul; T. D
O'Brien, st. Paul; Martin O'Brien
Crookston; A. d. Weiss, Duluth.
The resolutions were as follows:
We affirm our allegiance to prin.
ciples of the party of Jefferson and
Jackson and pledge our entire and

are recognized as being among the
best Republicans Of the state, and it
is sure that there was no Democratic
campaign material made here today.
Briefly, the proceedings of the con-
vention were as follows:
1t was called to order shortly be.
fore noon by L. B. Hanna, chairman
of the state central committee, M. H.
Jekwell acting as secretary Invoca-
ton was offered by Rev. Robert A.
McMuller of Minot. The call for the
convention was read and the list of
delegates as reported by the state
central committee was adopted for
temporary organization, together
with the recommendations that SEN
ator P. J. McCumber be made chair
man and H. Stone of Hettinger coun-
ty, secretary.
Senator McCumber, upon taking his
seat, made forceful and eloquent adj
dress, which concluded with an ap-
peal to all factions of the party to get
together for united support at the
polls this fall for the national and
state tickets. His tribute to Roose-
welt, whom he compared with Abra-
ham Lincoln, and his glowing tribute
to VIM. H. Taft provoked frequent
applause mingled with cheers.
The senator throughout the conven.
ton made model presiding officer.
His apparent fairness and his parlia-
mentary ability prevented any con-
fusion.
The convention was called to order
in the afternoon at O'Clock. The
committee on credentials recommend.
ed the roll of delegates as recon.
mended by the state central commit
tee. j. B. Wineman of Grand Forks
presented a minority report, which
; excepted to the ruling of the state
central committee, which divided Ro-
lette county evenly.
This led to discussion of the mer
it's of these contests. The vote by
roll call resulted, stalwarts 2S8, in
surgents 1856. This was the first test
vote of the convention. The next
came on the report of the committee
on rules and order. The report giving
the order of business simply stipu
lated the election of eight delegates
to the national convention, leaving il
to be inferred that, according to pre-,
cedent, they should elect the national
committeeman. Major ]. H. Frain OF
| Cass county. presented minority re
port which had a recommendation
that by roll call the national commit
teeman should be selected and the
delegates so instructed. This led tc
some pretty sharp exchanges. Chas
Stores and H. R. Turner of Cass, D

DEVILS LAKE HAS 5000
Census Shows Population Has Dou-
bied in Three Years.

Devils Lake, N. D., May 14.-City
Assessor Rutten will complete his
work in few days. While he has
been assessing the property he has
also been taking census of the city.
and up to this time he finds the popu-
lation within the city limits to be
5,013. This will probably be increased
200 when the census is completed.
. The 1905 census gave Devils Lake
population of little over 1890, and
the census now being taken shows
that the city's population has more
than doubled during the past three
years.
1t is estimated that at the present
rate of increase in population Devils
Lake will have population of 10000
by the time the census of 1910 is
taken.

There were none of the strongest
insurgents who left the hall dissatis-
fed with their treatment, every issue
put was put to a vote and all vital
questions were decided by roll call.
On all subjects where there was a test
of strength the stalwart forces won
out by a majority of about 100. To
secure this majority there was no
trading, and every stalwart vote was
ready at all times for the party's ser
vice. The insurgents mustered about
$50 delegates, all told, and that num-
her did most of the talking.
Chairman McCumber announced at
the start Of the convention that any.

'continued through the meeting. Al
no time was there a semblance of an
attempt of the majority to force any

The selection of eight delegates to
the national convention at Chicago
was made unanimous and the dele
gates later met and Endorsed James
Kennedy of Fargo to fill the place so
long filled by his friends and former
leader, Mckenzie. The selection of
the delegation meets with the unani.
nous approval of the entire conven.
ton. While there were some friends
of Frank Sprague of Walsh on the
floor who advanced his name, they
were satisfied with the rule after a
vote of the convention showed that
the majority was not for their man.
The test votes taken during the
convention established the supremacy
of the stalwart wing, but they used
hteir strength with such moderation
that there could be no criticism
passed.

The results of the votes were as
follows:
On the report Of the committee on
credentials, stalwarts 2S8, insurgents
1856; on the adoption of rules, stall
warts 266; insurgents $50, and the
final vote was indirectly on the selec-

The motion was on the proposed in
dorsement of Frank Sprague for the
place, but he was turned down by the
above vote.
During the time the delegates to the
national convention were being con-
sidered, eight names were offered to
the convention by a member of the
Grand Forks delegation. J. Austin
Regan and ]. M. Devine were both on
that list, but both requested that their
names be taken from the list, as they
were certain there was no chance for
theoir selection, and they did not wish
to carry on the fight to the extent of
making hard feelings. The action of
the two gentlemen caused the whole
slate to be withdrawn, leaving only
the eight names introduced by Mr..
Turner of Cass county.

stalwarts, but at the same time all

West WoodstOok's Champion Young
Fisherman.

Charles Boudette, about ten years
old, grandson of Joseph Lussier, has
won reputation as a persistent and
successful fisherman and he has some
notable strings to his credit. He
goes after suckers, capturing trout
occasionally, without any fuss or frills
in his equipment and during the first
of the season is found every day at
a fruitful spot below the dam at West
Woodstock.
Charles most famous string was
captured year or so ago, when he
showed gaping crowd a catch of so
or GO suckers. They hung from a
stick, and the young champion
couldn't lift the string from the
ground as he struggled homeward.
News of this exploit spread like

once rushed to the scene, but young

SUCCESSFUL FIELD DAY

First Annual Athletic Meet Under
Auspices Of County Y, N. G. A -
Well Contested Events and Large
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Trophy Won
by ]. Harold Greene.
Wellcontested events, good weather
and a good attendance--about 700
people turning out, made a grand
success Of the first annual Windsor
county athletic meet under the
auspices Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association of the county, held
at the fair grounds Saturday, June
Is.
The entries numbered l04, which
is said to be the largest list that ever
competed in a similar event in this
country under Y. M. G. A. auspices.
Rivalry was keen, and though in this
first meet the time for training and
preparation was somewhat limited,
some very good records were made
by Windsor county's sturdy young
athletes, notably that of 10 4-5 sec
onds in the l00-yard dash, made by
j. Harold Greene of White River
Junction
County Secretary A. G. Hurd has
been engaged for several weeks in
enlisting the boys and young men
and in other arrangements for the
meeting, and it's success is largely
due to his capable and energetic pre-
liminary work. The committee was
fortunate in securing an especially
strong corps of officials for the day.

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL

At the close of the summer ses-
SIGN of the Manual Training School
of 1907 letter was sent to some of
the parents of the boys in the Farm
Boys" class, asking their opinion
regarding the school. 1t will be re-
membered that the attendance in
this class was very large during the
summer In every case the replies
show that the people of the farms
are DESTROYS that their boys should
get as much of this training as pos
sible, and are quite willing to spare
them from farm duties in order to
attend such a school. In some
states, notably Wisconsin and Min
nesota, agricultural High Schools
have been established where con-
siderable attention is paid to this
form If training, and these schools
have been a success from the very
start The trend of these letters,
several of which are given below,
show that the farmers of Vermont
would not look with disfavor toward
such work in connection with the
regular winter term of school.

1t would be grand thing for every farm
