The above ticket for state Offices was
selected by the republicans Of Minnie
sofa at their convention: in the st.
Paul auditorium Tuesday afternoon,
after they had adopted q platform
which straddled on The tariff. pledged
the party without mention of county
option, to free, fair and full dis
cusslon Of all proposed legislation for
the regulation of the liquor traffic !;
commended the administration Of Taft
as wise and concillatory, declared
for apportionment, l mill good
road tax. more agricultural educa-
tion, conservatism and further rai1road
legislation. .1- saI- - 49, -
More than half the places on the
ticket were contested for strenuously
and the platform was adopted only
after lengthy discussion and voting.
The fight for the insertion Of q
county option plank in the platform
was at times bitter, but it ended by
the defeat of the county option
resolution by vote of 1876 to: 1893.
The only one who went under the
steam roller was H. T.. Haibert Of
st. Paul, when he came with a
resolution: condemning the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. =
The greatest surprise of the day
was the nomination of P. E. B-own of
Luverne to succeed G. l.. Lewis on
the supreme bench. That the st.
Louis delegation was willing to
support any one who could defeat
Lewis was anticipated, but 1t was
hardly expected that the rest Of the
counties would make themselves
parties to the scheme. Having three
able and conventions jurlsts to select
from, the question who would bring
the greatest strength to the ticket
became paramount with many of the
party leaders and they dared neither
face the sentiment which the people in
general would have felt if Lewis had
been turned down for Homer B.
Dibell of Duluth, nor dared they
take the risk of losing the votes OF
st. Louis county by forcing upon the
ticket man whom that section of the
state did not want. st. Louis county,
it's leaders knowing that they could,
not defeat Lewis with their own man,
turned in gladly with their votes and
helped nominate Brown. Lewis led
on the first ballot, with Brown second,
but on the second ballot the votes
began to come to Brown. st. Louis
county swung from Dibel to Brown
and helped cllnch the nomination.
/ l. Governor Eberhart was nominated
by acclamation, as q matter OF
course, and without any side-splltting
enthusiasm. The whole course Of
leaders was conciliatory, not wish
ing to offend any faction or section.
The county optionists consider that
they won substantial victory in the
nomination of s. Y. Gordon OF
Browns valley for lieutenant governor.
With St. Louis county deprived of
it's place on the supreme bench. 1t was
only natural that the convention
should give them one place on the
ticket, and this helped to bring Waiter
for treasurer.
After j. F. jacobson of Madison had
refused to consent to be a candidate
for state auditor, the opposition to
Iverson dwindled out and the present
auditor won easily.
Senator Moses E. Clapp was
indorsed for another term. Two
judges of the supreme court were
1enominated and D. F. Simpson Of the
district court at Minneapolis was
named for the place now held by +.
D. O'Brien, a democrat. Attorney
General Simpson and Railroad Com
missioner Staples were put on the
ticket by reclamation. and Secretary
of State Schmahl won almost as
easily.
! The Morrison county delegation
voted IL strong against county option.
