THIRD PARTY IN no. OAK.
ONLY PR0eREssIVEs NAMED

The third party convention at Fargo
on the 10Th did not put any state ticket
in the field, merely electine delegates
to the national convention in Chicago
next week. Judge Lauder of Wahpeton
acted as chairman at Fargo. and the
way he went after the Hanna supporters
was not altogether pleasing to the Con-
gresham. 1t raj charged that the Han
n men were seeking an endorsement
from the convention and they were very
carefully kept off all the committees
named.
1t is not believed that there will be
any state ticket in North Dakota tor the
third party other than presidential
electors. This plan seem to meet the
wishes of q majority.
The list of delegates to the national
convention are as follows:

FOUND THE ALLIGATOR
Co nductor Fred Morgan Run On to the
Animal in Yard; Thrilling Story
of It's Capture.

Winona Independent: The lost al
ligator has been found and the anxi-
ETY. which has been perturbing one
local household since early in the
week was dispeHed early last even
ing. The owners of the creature
from the south, which has become a
family pet, are satisfied that it pays
to advertise, and incidentally the
reptile-quadruped owes it's life to that
very fact.
Last evening when Fred Morgan,
467 Winona street, had finished
sprinkling his lawn, he reeled up
his hose and was about to enter the
house when he discovered the pecu
liar creature bathing in a pool of
water beneath a fawcet in the rear
of his house. He thought first to
kill it but deferred such drastic &C
ton until more detailed investiga-
ton could be made. Neighbors re-
called that the family of Peter
Schwebel, 267 West Mark street, had
lost an alligator, the details of which
were carried in The Independent yes
terday morning. 1t was decided to
spare the life of the young alligator,
and the members of the Schwebel
family were notified. A large crowd
gathered and the member of the
crocodile family was the center OF
attraction.
The alligator was identified as
that which had been sent to Miss
Florence Schwebel by her brother
Charles, who resides near Tampa,
Fla. 1t escaped last Monday evening.
1t was thought the creature had
been stolen, but evidently it broke
captivity without assistance and had
gone only two blocks when discov-
cred.
Mr. Morgan is a conductor on the
Chicago and Northwestern road, run
ming between Winona and Mankato.
He was in Mankato last night. He
told a thrilling story of the capture
of the alligator

UPHELD BY THE COUNCIL
State Supreme Court Renders Opinion
Respecting Issuance of Liquor
Licenses.

ST. Paul, June 29.-The majority of
electors voting at an election, and
not the majority of votes recorded
for or against license, is the critic
rion on election at which the license
or no license question is at stake.
This is the opinion of the state SUI
preme court, in an opinion today.
At city election in March, 1911,
on the wet or dry proposition, there
were 321 votes cast in Warren, Mimi.
Seventeen of the ballots were silent
on the liquor question, and one bal
lot was unintelligible. This left 303
ballots recorded on this issue.
The "drys" counted 154 votes and
the "wets" 149. The city council
thereafter refused to issue any Ii
the district court where the stand of
the council was upheld. The case
was then appealed to the supreme
court, which holds that the district
court made the proper disposition of
the case
The syllabus follows:
l. Under a law creating the city
of Warren, when a majority of the
votes cast at any annual city cleo
ton has been cast against granting
license to sell intoxicating liquors,
no license can be granted until ma
jority of all votes cast at subse-
quent annual city election is in favor
of granting such license.
2. By majority is meant a major
ity of the whole number of electors
voting at the election, and not ma
jority of the votes recorded for or
against license.
Judgment affirmed.
