Lind Anoka county next seconded
the nomination This was followed
by Becker, Beltrami and Benton,
whose delegates were. so anxious to
have Lind declared the nominee that
they tried to vote right then and
there. J.. NJ. Freeman of Olivia at
this juncture almost took the Twin
City delegates off their feet by NOV
ing to have the nominations closed. St.
Louis was prompt to take advantage
of the opportunity and that delega-
ton seconded the motion. On a yea
and nay vote the chair decided that
Mr. Lind was the nominee for gov
ernor, although the Twin City delega.
tons vociferously yelled mo- After
a motion to make the nomination
unanimous had been seconded Sen
ator Stockwell of Minneapolis attempt
ed to make a speech from the plat,
form in order to convince the conven-
ton that Mr.. Lind would not accept
the nomination. A point of order by
p. A. Stevens, that Mr.. Lind had al
ready been declared the nominee of
the convention, was declared to be
well taken. Mr.. Winston of Mime
apolis next endeavored to persuade
the convention that Mr. Lind would
not accept the nomination and he
urged the delegates to not act hastily
until they could get in communication
with the ex-governor and ascertain
whether or not he would consent to
be the party's standard bearer. Dan
lei W. Lawler, former mayor of st.
Paul, next took the platform and said
There is not man here who is
not in favor of the nomination and
election of John Lind However, in
view of his repeated assertion that he
would not accept the nomination we
would not be true to ourselves unless
we received from Mr.. Lind his I'M
qualified acceptance of the nomination
before this convention adjourns."
Mr.. Lawler then moved that a com
mittee of three be appointed by the
chair to telegraph Mr.. Lind at Port
land, Ore, and learn if he would &C.
cept the nomination, the convention
to take a recess until p. m. to await
reply.
This course was strenuously op-
posed by J. M. Freeman of Olivia, who
insisted that Mr. Lind was already
the nominee of the convention and it
would be useless to waste any more
time on the matter Mr.. LAWYERS
motion was defeated and the original
motion to declare Mr.. Lind the unani-
nous choice of the convention was
carried with only few dissenting
votes.
Other Candidates Nominated.
The nomination of candidates for
all the other state Offices was then
taken up. Only one name was present
ed for each Office, with the exception
of Judges O'Brien and Snow for the
supreme court. All were nominated
by reclamation. Judges G. L. and
Philip E. Brown, two of the candi-
dates for the supreme bench on the
Republican ticket. were endorsed for
election by the convention.
Although the last business of the
udy WdS LuS naming OF the state cen
trail committee, it caused another up
roar. Chairman Daily announced that
he would appoint the members Of the
committee at large, but ex-Judge j.
R. Larson of Minneapolis offered a
motion providing for calling together
the convention to fill vacancy in
case John Lind declined the nominal
ton. He said it was not right to
leave the selection of the state com
mittee in the hands of one man when
it might be called upon to act in such
an emergency. This was seconded
by James Manahan of Minneapolis,
who amended it so that the state cen
trail committee be named by the can
didates on the ticket The original
motion to call the convention togeth-
er in case of vacancy was declared
out of order as the statutes provide
that the state central committee
should fill all vacancies. The amend
ment offered by Mr.. Manahan WAS
carried and the candidates will have
the selection of the committee. The
