In the opening speech of the
convention Chairman Lauder, dis
cussed the national phase of the
Third party movement at length.
Characterizing the nomination OF
President Taft at Chicago as a
all Republicans were absolved
from being bound by the action OF
the Republican national conven-
ton. Chairman Lauder conclud-
ed his address and declared the
convention open.
David Bartlett of Cooperstown
put a motion to the house asking
the appointment by the chairman
of committee of seven on Gre
dentialy. The motion received q
second.
Then someone moved the ap-
pointment of a committee of one
from each county in the state
which should be the judge of the
Progressiveness of the convention
delegates. Chairman Lauder be-
gan appointing the committee and
someone suggested the name of
L. D. Hyde. editor of the Valley
City Times-Record. The Times
Record enthusiastically support
ed the candidacy of Mr.. Hanna in
the gubernatorial race. At the
suggestion of Mr.. Hyde's name as
a member of the committee,
Chairman Lauder left the chair
and engaged Hyde in CONVERSE
ton.
Hyde Immediately arose and
stated to the convention that
Lauder had asked him if it were
not true that he voted for Hanna
in the primaries. IF L. b. Hanna

titles or bars one from a seat in

said Hyde. ''If voting for Hanna

Discussion or the question of
Hanna's endorsement continued.
"A. M. Baker Of Fargo, in charge of
the Third party movement in N.
OAK. together with National Com
mitteeman A. Y. More, said: II am
sorry to see, Mr.. Hanna's name
injected into this meeting. Mr..
Hanna was not the nominee of the
Progressives of North Dakota
Mr.. Buchanan was the Progress
sive candidate. Hanna was the
|antithesis Of Progressivism. Han
ma men are here in force trying
to secure the endorsement of their
man"
Bacon of Grand Forks had
something to say on the question
Of Hanna's endorsement. He be-
gan: II came down here with the
apprehension that had a right
to sit in this convention. It seems
to me only right that we should
thrash out this question of en-
dorsement Of a state ticket. The
real object of this Third party
movement is to get q full express
sion on questions.
1.-THE people of North Dakota
have spoken in the primaries, L.
B. Hanna is their choice. II we
don't stand back of the primary,
endorsed by Progressives every
where, what will we stand back
Of? The object Of this conven-
ton is not to pick out a man but
to stand and fight for principle.
L. B. Hanna was ardent in his
support of Theodore Roosevelt in
the. primaries. If the question
Did you vote for L. B. Hanna is
to decide matters I think we are
wrong"
B: Butler of Lisbon, Republican
nominee for the legislature ad-
dressed the convention and urged
sticking by the Republican ticket
with the exception of Mr.. Taft,
Speaking Of Hanna and what Mr..
Bacon says I am for Hanna. I
would be for Taft too if he had
been honestly nominated"
Chairman Lauder left the chair
and upon gaining recognition
from the chair, replied to Bacon
and Butter in the principal ad-
dress of the morning. "This con-
vention was called for a new party
not an adjunct of the Republic
can party" he began. Men who
have come here to use this party
as an increment to the election of
L. B. Hanna are sadly mistaken.
We are here in a meeting called
by the national Progressive COM
mittee.. The movement is nation
wide.
THAT was a very strenuous
