is ON THE BOARD
MANKATO MERCHANT MEN,
Der OF STATE BODY
Minnesota Dry Goods Dealers
Organize Association; the
Prime Purpose

J. e. Brett Of the George Brett
company was honored at a meeting of
the Minnesota Retail Dry Goods as
ISOLATION by being elected to serve on
the board of directors for the ensu-
ing year.
Organization of this newly perfect
ed body of dry goods men Of the state
was effected at meeting held In the
tea rooms Of the Golden Rule de.
nesday Of last week. About sixty
merchants, representing leading
stores in Minneapolis, st. Paul and
various cities throughout the state
were present.
James w. Fisk OF Bannon Bros,
st. Paul, was called upon by the chair
man to outline his views Of the op-
portunity for and. need Of a state
association OF dry goods merchants.
In his usual happy manner. Mr.. FISK
Combine to make organization a nee
essity, outlining the beneficial ef-
fects which have followed similar
moves in other states "A trade as
ISOLATION is more than a matter of
good fellowship and cultivation of
friendships" Mr.. Fisk said.
What II Means.
cit is in the final analysis cold
blooded business proposition and is,
am sure, the best paying investment
which any merchant can make. There
are two fundamental reasons why we
should have state association Of re-
tail dry goods merchants. One is for
the promotion of business through the
exchange of ideas and the other is
for the protection Of the merchant
against i'll advised legislation for the
exchange of credit information, and
other tangible benefits Of this gen.
eral nature"
hopes to obtain every dry goods mer-
chant of Southern Minnesota inter-
ested in this state body during the
next few months.

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]

Chicago, June 9.-WorkIng all night
at forced draft speed, the credentials
committee completed the permanent
roll of the republican national conven-
ton at 4:30 this morning. Previous
rulings on contests by the national
committee were sustained in all but
three cases.
In disposing of 1913 appeals from the
decisions made last week by the ma
tional committee, two delegates were
taken from Governor Lowden, one in
Georgia, and one in Tennessee and
given to General Wood, but in the
fifth Missouri (Kansas City, district
where the national committee refused
to seat anyone, the credentials com
mittee seated two Lowden men, leav.
ing the standing of the two candi-
dates unchanged.
Roll Call Ready
The permanent roll will be ready
for presentation to the convention
when it meets at eleven o'clock this
morning.
Robert R. Church. negro Lowden
delegate, was the Tennessee case In
which the national committee was
overruled. He was ousted in favor Of
Charles B. Quinn, white, instructed
for Wood, when Quinn's counsel de-
clared the Churcn factlOn nad DOlteC
the. district convention.
Other cases decided early today and
completing the roll call confirmation
of the national committees findings
were:
Eleven Lowden delegates from
South Carolina seated.
The entire Texas delegation, head
ed by National Committeeman H. F
MacGregory and reported as split uI
among Wood, Lowden, Johnson and
Harding, seated.
The fifteen Virginia delegates head.
ed by representative c. B. SlemI
seated.
Possible Further Trouble
There is probability Of further bat
ties on contested seats when the re
port of the credentials committee i.
laid before the convention. In some
places including the Tennessee case
efforts to override the committee b!
vote of the convention were planned
AS the report does not embody an!
serious departure from the temporar!
roll or affect enough votes to max,
it an important subject for support
ers of any candidate to override tn,
committee, however, no long struggl,
was expected.

Following the address of welcome
the Woods male quartet rendered
several selections. This is an old time
quartet, and is composed of Harry
Woods of st. Paul, Edward Wash

Those questions we must answer, yet

Problem Of Adjustment.

Approve Of Report.
"The report of the credentials COM
mittee was adopted without dissent
and the convention next heard the
report from the committee on per-
manent organization. 1t was pre-
scented by Governor Morrow of Ken
lucky, its chairman. AS agreed upon
it recommended that the temporary
organization be made permanent. The
convention liked the idea of saving
time and escaping another keynote
speech and adopted the motion with
cheers. Senator Lodge got another
demonstration when he stepped for
ward. this time as permanent chair
man, of the convention.
tude to the convention for its &C
tion," said Senator Lodge, will be to
tell you there will be no speech by
the permanent chairman"
The convention acknowledged its
appreciation of that with more ap-
plause.
Change In Rules.
Paul Rowland of Cleveland, Ohio,
presented the report of the commit
tee on rules and order of business.
The report recommended seating
delegate representation in the ma
tional convention with four dele
gates at large from each state, one
delegate from congressional and one
additional delegate for each district
in which not less than 1000 votes
have been cast for a republican can
didatt at the last election.
The only new material in the rules
Chairman Rowland announced. was an
increase in the executive committee
of the republican national commit
tee from ten to fifteen members and
new assistant secretary.
The understanding Is that the ad
ditional places all will go to women
The convention speedily adopted the
report.
