Mutterngs of trouble were heard early
in the day and an unusual condition ex-
listed The entire delegation was a unit
in declaring that John Lind was one of
the best Democrats in Minnesota. The
delegates were all his friends. but divided
into two factions. One insisted that Lind
must be nominated despite his repe ated
refusals to be a candidate. and his final
fiat declaration, in telegram from Port
land, Oregon. yesterday, that he would
not accept the nomination. while the 9th
er argued that he had been governor of
Minnesota and had nothing to gain by
the nomination and that he was of suffi-
cient Importance to have his wishes heed
ed by the convention. The latter faction
shook fists at the chairman and at the
other side. while those bent on nominal
ing Lind howled. Missed and completely
blocked proceedings until by sheer force
of noise and enthusiasm they won their
point.
The nomination was made unanimous
and the convention adjourned at 6.33 P

On the matter of resolutions there was
no contention except over the plank for
county option. The anti-county optionists
were in the saddle in the committee on
resolutions and voted down such a reso
luton and inserted a plank declaring for
the initiative and referendum. which they
declared would answer the same purpos ).

there during the entire night. They
found two sugar barrels, one contain
