Minneapolis. - ]. M. Underwood
went down to defeat in the an.
nual election of the Minnesota State
Agricultural society before the ''in-
surgent" opposition which was mani
tested late in the campaign and whip.
ped into shape within less than "a
hours by F. w. Murphy, of Wheaton
and E. J. Stilwell of Minneapolis.
The successful candidate was Chas.
w. Glotfelter of Waterville, who,
while not unknown to the agriculture
alists of the state, is nevertheless an
untried quantity in the work, since he
had never heretofore seen service
on the state fair board.
But one ballot was required. The
result was, Glotfelter, 1859; Under
wood, 123k. That ballot, however,
was taken amid scenes Of confusion
reminiscent of the Underwood-Fur-
long ballot-battle year ago, but to
which decidedly dramatic touch was
added when death stalked through the
court house assembly hall and struck
down G. B. Clark, life member OF
the association, who, scarcely ten min
nutes before, had, made ringing
speech seconding the nomination Of
former President Underwood for a
second term.
Cosgrove's Fate in the Balance.
Whether Mr.. Underwood's defeat
will carry with it the retirement of
Secretary Cosgrove, who has served
the society in one capacity or another
for the last quarter OF a century, is a
question that has not been deter
mined upon.
President Glotfelter's inaugural ad-
dress, while brief, was nevertheless
pregnant with the work he expects to
do.
c. B. Clark had just spoken for Mr..
Underwood when he retired to his seat
among the delegates, the balloting be-
gan and, after he had prepared his
ballot for the man for whom he had
spoken, he leaned heavily toward H.
P. Marks of Shakopee. Mr.. Marks,
thinking he was DESTROYS of speaking
to him, asked what his wish was and,
receiving no answer cried out:
rs there doctor in the audience?"
Water was brought to the dying
man and he was carried into the cor
ridors, where he died while effort was
being made to locate physician.
