o. B. Burtness Of Grand Forks was
The choice Of the First district con-
gressional Republican convention
held In this city yesterday.
The nomination came to Mr.. Burt
ness on the first formal ballot, after
far in the lead and but IL votes
short of a majority of the 1875 votes
cast.
The informal ballot resulted as fol-
lows: Burtness. So; Wick; SO; Cuth-
bert, 81: Plain. %.
Before the formal ballot was taken
Charles w. Plain withdrew and the
100: Wick, 81: Cuthbert, 1S.
Fred T. Cuthbert was on his feet
before the result of the ballot was
announced and moved that the unani-
nous vote Of the convention be cast
for Mr.. Burtness. A similar motion
was made by Charles Doyon n sec
onded by Charles w. Plain and it
carried with a shout that showed
there was not a sore spot in the con
vention.
Judge Henry T. vick and Messrs.
Cuthbert M Plain followed with
splendid speeches in which they
pledged their loyal support to the
nominee.
4 Remarkable Gathering.
This in brief is h story Of the re-
suit of the first Republican owen
ton held in the state of North Da-
kota in some Is years. 1t was a re-
nlarkable gathering in many ways,
but most important Of all is the
name in which it demonstrated the
enthusiastic benefits from conventions
as compared to the debilitating eff
fects Of the present primary laws and
in placing principles above all else.

the words of Treadwell Twitchell,
who declared that he had fought for
the primary system for more than 90
years, but he had discovered that it
was an absolute failure. He added
that he was glad to be able to live
to participate in another convention
for the privilege Of r~enouncing his
former position. These sentiments
met with prompt and hearty APP
plause.
Precedent in n Teapot Tempest.
The only semblance to strife dur
ing the entire day was owe a reso-
luton presented by Treadwell Twitch-
ell, declaring that absentees We're to
be represented by the delegates from
their respective counties and the alb
sentee votes cast according to the
votes of the majority Of the delegates
from the respective counties. This
was to assure each county full repre-
sentation for the few delegates who
were unable to be present.
The resolution was passed at the
morning session. u on the first bal
lot it was found hat Mr.. Twitchell's
own. delegation was divided over its
purport. 1t required a ruling of the
chair to settle the matter and the
ruling was sustained hat "a majority
Of the delegates from the respective
counties" meant the majority of dele
gates elected and not a majority OF
delegates present. The importance
of h point was realized as a prece-
dent for future Republican conven-
tons.
The afternoon session was delayed
by the deliberations of the resolutions
committee, which discussed the ad-
visibility Of including state affairs di.
rectly in the platform to be offered
but the convention was addressed by

shall come, 1t. will be q lasting
and just peace, based upon free
dom and democracy to all ma
lions and peoples, to the end that
tho world shall he safe for demo.
crncy for all time.
We believe that when peace
shall be restored, and the present
war terminated, the question Of
tho reimbursement of economic af-
fairs will be the most vital issue
confronting the people Of the
United States. This question will
directly affect all the various In
dustrics of this nation and will
particularly concern the agricul-
tural interests of this state. We
believe that this situation can
best be met by putting into effect
the economic and tariff principles
for which the Republican party
has so long stood, and which
have proven adequate in past
emergencies. We, therefore, Ne.
affirm our allegiance to such
principles, as tho same are cam.
bodied in the last Republican ma.
tlonal platform, and we pledge
the nominee Of this convention to
stand firmly by those principles.
We believe that the interests Of
this district and state can best be
served by tho election Of a Re-
publican congressman, one who
is heartily in accord with the
principles herein set forth and
who can be depended upon to
render effective service in secur.
ing their enactment into law.
We favor national legislation
that will further the best inter.
ests Of our state; and. to that
end, we endorse legislation for
national inspection and grading

Chambers Of Commerce and
Grain Exchanges, preventing and
prescribing penalties for extor-

in food products, to prohibit spc-
culation therein, and to render

mate return for his labor and in.

DO NOT NEGLECT TO
REGISTER!

If you intend to express your
choice in the selection of the three
City officials at the general cleo
tion next June, it will be neces-
sary that You register on or be-
fore May 3rd, 1917. The last Sec
ton of the Legislature made it
compulsory on every voter who in
tends to exercise his full rights
to select officials during the next
four years. This matter has been
neglected by many who seem to
be putting this important duty off
until the last minute and every
one who postpones this important
duty takes chance of something
happening that may deprive of
them of this privilege. The Clerk
of Court, Hon. J. A. Gonsoulin is
ready nov to assist you as far as
the law lies within his jurisdiction
and it would be well for everybody
to call there as early as possible
before the date is passed in which
to qualify. Once the books are
closed, whether you possess re-
ceipts for two years poll tax or
not, you will be denied the priv
ilege of voting for your choice.

fession reached New Iberia en-
Monday and enlisted with the
local military company who have

was paid quite a compliment by
the good people of Lake Charles

with bouquets which was given
to him with their best wishes for
safe return. Speaking of his
