NINTH DISTRICT

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has
captured Minnesota. So tight is his
grip on the state that it could not
be torn from his grasp by a string
of traction engines, reinforced by a
long line of autos. The state re-
publican convention in Minneapolis
on Thursday will be controlled en-
tirely by the friends of the former
president and they will instruct the
twenty-six delegates to vote for his
nomination at the convention which
will be held in Chicago in June.
Taft carried a few counties that
did not have preference primaries,
but they were scattered, so he will
not carry a single district. La Fol
lette carried half dozen counties
and will make a fair showing in the
ninth district, but not enough to
elect the two district delegates.
Ramsey County For the Colonel.
Ramsey county, supposed Tart
stronghold, went for Roosevelt, CIV
ing him 4,047 in the preference vote
to 1,O44 for Taft and 1,274 for La
Toilette. Roosevelt men plan TO
make a clean sweep of the county
convention in Federation hall tomor-
row and do not anticipate opposition
from Taft supporters.
The La Toilette delegates elected
at the Hennepn county primaries
Friday caucused Saturday night and
offered to unite with the Roosevelt
men at the convention today.
Duluth went for Roosevelt almost
as strongly as Ramsey did, electing
practically all the Roosevelt dele
gates to the county convention.
Carried Winona County.
Taft carried Winona county, the
home of Former Congressman raw
ney, by a wide margin.
Nicollet county is credited up to
Taft, but it is known that there
are number of Roosevelt support
ers among the delegates.
Martin county has elected Taft
delegates.
thirds of the 5000 votes cast in
Ramsey county.
The results of the primaries on
Friday and Saturday are so over
whelmingly in favor of Roosevelt
that the comparatively few Taft dele
gates who will attend the state
convention must sit idly by and look
as pleasant as it is possible to do
under the circumstances.
Second District For Roosevelt.
The second district republican con-
vention will be held in Mankato on
! Wednesday. The adherents of Col
onel Roosevelt will dominate this
gathering, and no doubt instructions
will be issued to the two delegates
elected to the national convention
! to vote for the former presidents
denomination. Every county, except
Martin, has elected Roosevelt dele
gates to the district convention

of the general result.
Outside of San Francisco, Roosevelt
apparently has carried every congress
sonal district, his vote being especial
ly heavy in the interior counties.

parts of the state indicate that they
went to the polls in greater numbers

But very few Taft delegates oc-
cupied seats in the republican coun-
ty convention which was called to

welt were largely in the majority,
with sprinkling of La Toilette adj
mirers The convention was in the
hands of the Roosevelt men and
they did not permit the reins to
| loosen.
Caller Produced His Emblem.
M. H.. Caller of Vernon Center
caused the first sensation of the
morning by producing large sign
with the word Roosevelt" printed
on it. He walked around the hall
and the delegates applauded long
and loud. At the close of the morn
ing's session Mr.. Caller presented the
chairman of the county convention,
Miles Porter, with the banner. He
explained that he had printed it
while coming to Mankato this morn
ing in an automobile, with the ac-
cent on the "bile."

mittee, Peter Lloyd, took the chair
and in the absence of the secretary,

From Wednesdays Daily.


Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's name
was loudly cheered in the second
district republican convention today.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
were Taft and La Toilette delegates
in attendance, the convention stood
for Roosevelt, and he alone. Taft
and La Toilette did not have as
much as a "look in" This was a
foregone conclusion. Almost every
county in the district had instructed
for the colonel, and the work OF
electing delegates to the national
convention and instructing them to
vote for Theodore Roosevelt for the
presidential nomination was mere
formality A few men could have
carried on the proceedings, and the
balance of the delegates could have
remained at home, thus saving ex-
pense money.
Delegates Slow in Arriving.
But few delegates put in an ap'
pearance last night. There was a
marked absence of the "old guard
who have fought valiantly in past
campaigns for the success of the
republican party and it's candidates,
and whose services will be sought
again in order to insure a party
victory. There was little doing
around the Hobbies of the Saulpaugh
last night. However, the clans be-
gan to gather this morning, and the
delegates soon had their heads to-
gether laying the plans for the con-
yention which was held this after
noon.
Convention Gets Down to Business
The convention to elect two dele,
gates and two alternates to the re-
publican national meeting in Chi
caeo in June, got down to business
about 1880. c. e. Benedict, chair
man of the district committee called
the convention to order. The call
was read by Secretary M. w. Hal
loran of Luverne.
On motion of Will Curtis of ST
James. F. F.. Ellsworth, who is a
candidate for congress, was made
chairman.
On assuming charge of the con
yention, Mr.. Ellsworth made few
remarks. 81 am going to assume
that the primaries held last Satur
day night mean just what they say,
he went on, referring to the votes
cast at the republican primaries
I'm other words, we know what the
spirit of this convention is. BY the
reform legislation that was inaugu
rated some eight years ago, has
worked an awakening of the Amerf
can people"
Mr.. Ellsworth paid Roosevelt
high tribute and spoke OF the legis
lation which gives the people an
opportunity to express their prefer
ence in the primary. Even with
out the law, give people a chance

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

The republicans of the sec
ond congressional district of
the state of Minnesota, in
delegate convention assembled,
reaffirm their faith in and
answering allegiance to the
principles of the republican
party as promulgated by
Abraham Lincoln, James G.
Blaine, William Mckinley.
Robert M. LaFollette and
Theodore Roosevelt.
Its first martyred president
declared that this must be
government of the people, for
the people, and by the peo-
pie. Predatory wealth has
sought to make it govern
ment of the bosses, for the
bosses, and by the bosses.
The republican party has
been and necessarily must
remain party of progress.
The interest of the few must
yield to the rights of the
many. That the good work
begun under the administra-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt
in arousing the political con-
science of the American peo-
pie may be continued until
it shall find expression in the
three coordinate branches of
our government.
Be it Resolved, that the
delegates elected by this con-
vention to represent the Sec
ond congressional district of
Minnesota in the national re-
publican convention to be I
held at Chicago, June 10, be
instructed to cast their votes
for Theodore Roosevelt as
the republican nominee for
president Of the United States.
