.REPUBLICA
CONVENTION

The republican, county. conven-
ton which convened at Willmar
last Friday, was attended by about
eighty delegates, who represented
twenty-five of the thirty-one pre-
cincts of the county, fifteen of
which were rural townships. Hon.
Henry Feig Of Atwater was elected
chairman and W. O. johnson of
Willmar secretary. The main feat
ure Of the convention was a lengthy
speech by Mr.. Feig, which was
mostly defense of the new tariff
law. Mr.. Feig's sonorous voice has
lost none Of it's old-time power, and
it is difficult to conceive of repub-
lican county convention in Kandi-
yohi county without a season of his
forensic outbursts.

| The resolutions committee, com
posed of J.. F. Branton, Martin A
Anderson, Geo. E. Anderson, Gus
Danielson and A. G. Barbknech
started in with Fremont and Lin
coin and endorsed everything Re
publican down to Senator Thorp'
of this county. The voluminou
typewriter resolutions bore all tn,
earmarks of having been prepared
in advance by some thotful patrio
but it seems that the committee
baked at making a specific endorse
ment of the AIdrich tariff, as tina
was scratched out. Strong decIara
tions were made for county option
a tonnage tax law, the initiative
and referendum, an employers liza
bility law, state control of street
railways, express companies ant
telephone companies, more agricul
ture in the schools. AS an answer
to a report printed in the twin cit,
papers that Elias Rachie had beer
denied to 60 to the county conventio,
as a delegate, the convention in
cluded him as a delegate to tn
state convention. The following i
