I Fred II. Foster raised the question

the selection was made, and made q
motion that the delegation be in
structed to cast the vote Of Yellow.
stone county democrats for Hon.
Charles s. Hartman for the congress
sional nomination. It was carried
without opposition.
Sheriff Jack B. Herford moved the
endorsement Of Judge Fox as a candi-
date for reelection, and the recon-
mending to the delegation that It
place his name before the convention.
It was also carried without opposi-
ton.
/ "A motion was then made that w.
B. George be endorsed for state CEN
trail committeeman. T. 8. Hogan. who
was not a delegate, but who was
elected q delegate to the state con-
vention, then declared that IL the del
egatton was to be instructed In any
manner he would resign. Hugh Melon
aid added his protest and the discus
sion became quite general. Mayor
Foster declared that when John D.
Losekamp withdrew as q candidate
!! for delegate to the national conven-
ton in favor: of w. B. George 1t was
the understanding that Mr.. Loseka1np
would be elected committeeman. He
said he would vote for MI. Losekamp.
Mr.. Losekamp and MI. George each
told the delegates that they were not
before them as candidate. Oppo-
sition then arose to the endorsement
OF Judge Fox.
