Candidates.

St11OxOAO6Ss
The stalwart republicans who were
in attendance at the conference and
convention of that faction of the
party arrived in the city this morn
ing. There was evident satisfaction
among them that things had been
done just about, right over at Huron
Tuesday, when it was agreed upon
that there should be no ticket NOM
mated at Huron to be sent forth as
a stalwart republican ticket.
1t a cleaned at the outset that
there vas a division in the stalwart
ranks as to nominating a ticket in
which Congressman Martin and his
friends we're in the ascendancy. 1t
took some little time to drill out the
proposition for Ex-senator Kittredge
and his friends were anxious for the
ticket to be promulgated right at the
moment. It was evident there was
a strong difference Of opinion as to
the advlsability Of sending forth a
ticket, and the result of the morning
conference was that none should be
nominated by the convention.
The result of the conference and
the concessions that were made by
both factions of the stalwarts SEEM
ed to bring them into closer harmony
than ever before. This was evidenc-
ed, as this paper was informed, at
the afternoon Qualification meeting
The platform was adopted, which en-
dorsed the work of the congressman
of the lower house, criticised Cover
MOI Wesley and his expensive admin
istration, pledged the stalwart can
didates to rigid economy in the adj
ministration of affairs.
The men who spoke at the jolli-
1cation meeting we're E. L. Abel. Sam
H. Elrod, of Clark, John D. Lockhart
of Pierre, Congressman Martin and
Congressman Burke, Ex-senator Kit
tredge, j. E. McDougall a former lieu
tenant governor and G. NJ. Day. Each
of the speakers spoke with warmth
of what had been done and endorsed
the most harmonious relations which
tie afternoon had brought forth. All
the speakers received the applause
of the audience in a large quantity,
but it remained for the appearance Of
Senator Kittredge to turn the con-
vention into a scene of widest en-
thusiasm and it "a 3 or 4 minutes
before Mr.. Kittredge could have
quiet restored. The yielding of the
ex-senator to the popular desire
seemed to make him more popular
than ever.
Tentative arrangements were made
to look after the candidates who are
to be petitioned to enter the field.
Samuel H. Elrod will be candidate for
governor. and ]. w. Parmley, Of Ip-
switch, for lieutenant governor. H.
B. Anderson. of this city, will be-
cone a candidate for state auditor,
and while at Huron he was assured Of
the united support of many of the
delegates at the June primary. The
balance Of the ticket will be made
public later.
r. o. Richards made one or two eff
forts to have several of his planks
adopted into the platform, but the
stalwarts did not give him the least
encouragement. The understanding
at Huron ir +hot within n chort tima
Mr.. Richards will make his announce
merit of his candidacy for governor.
The stalwart representatives ex-
pressed the feeling that the faction
was in a better condition to go into
the fight during the coming campaign
than they were in that of 1908.
DR.. r. F. Dundas was appointed as
the stalwart chairman for Dawson
