Some OF the mon are known over

been made to eEdocsa or nominate

Dissatisfaction Shown. ..
Dissatisfac ction with the Farmers
Non-Partisan League method of CO.
ing business, its nomination OF can
didates for state offices and its at
tempt to cram that ticket down the
throats of it's members prevails
among the league members.
Leaders Hold Down Matters
That such dissatisfaction viii burst
forth, not at this convention, but in
the form Of general opposition to
the league movement throughout the
state on the part of the men who
have heretofore been more or less
favorable to the organization, is the
general sentiment in evidence now.
SkIIful Manipulation.
There were no league sessions to-
night, adjournment beeing taken till
tomorrow morning. Throughout the
morning and afternoon, skillful hand
ling Of the platform program, elm
mated any possible dissension and
there. is little likelihood that the
league members who have become
thoroughly ,disgusted with the organ
ization, will attempt anything here.
They are unwilling to subject them
selves to any condition that might
be created through open objection
here. The nomination of ticket
by "hand picked" delegates is now
generally accepted on every hand as
bearing out assertions long made
that the leagues ticket would be
selected by the big fve The regu-
larly electedm delegates to the state
convention arrived to find everything
had already been done Stenmo. of
Merrifield announced as candidate
for lieutenant governor, declared en-
phatically that he would not make
the race.
