tion OF Judge Spaulding, and Messrs

unavoidably detained.

ticket in North Dakota, who had
met in conference, assembled at the
Office of Chairman Kennedy, who
stated the object of the meeting. He
said that under the primary law the
state committeeman of the party
would be late in getting together, to
organize for active work, and if the
beginning of the campaign was de-
layed until the meeting of this exc.
ffno hn
too short to do the necessary work of
the campaign, in the manner it
should be done. In order to expedite
matters this preliminary meeting
was called. Everyone present at the
conclusion agreed upon the advisa-
biilty of the same and expressed sat-
isfaction at the action of the COM
mitteeman in thus starting the work

least month ahead Of what other
wise might have been the case. The
conference was an open one and was
called to receive suggestions from

information from leading republicans
around the state.

candidate for governor, presided at
the meeting and Thomas Hall for

quarters, was made secretary. Short
speeches were made by all present, the
general tenor of which was the desir-
ability of uniting in friendly spir-
it, forgetting past differences, and
supporting the ticket nominated by
the republican voters Of the state.
There was no doubt entertained by
any one present Of the successful
outcome of the election for the en-
tire ticket.
Chairman Kennedy on his part said
that he would know no such distinc-
tion among republicans as stalwart
or insurgent; that his work: would
be to bring about the election Of
every man on the ticket and the
measure Of recognition as far as he
was concerned would be registered in
the results in each county in the
work done for the republican ticket.
With every one, who expressed his
views there was but one sentiment
manifested which was determine
tion to win republican victory over
the democratic opposition.
Addresses along this line were
made by Congressman Gronna, and
Hon. L. B. Hanna. The latter sug-
gested the details Of perfecting local
organizations thruout the State by
judicial districts to include the pub
fishers of republican weekly newspa-
pers whose presence at this meeting
was hardly possible, on account of
the distance that many live from
Fargo, and the large number of such
publishers. The details of this sug-
gestion will be announced later on.
