" Peterson Starts Trouble.
The only discordant note came
after the appointment Of the nomi-
mating committee. when C. p Peter
vDt tD0 vsav@
partisan league ticket for senator in
the special Towner county election,
objected to naming delegates and
electors by committee. He declared
that the only proper way was to let
them all file,, IL they wanted to, and
leave the choice to the people at the
polls. 8. J. Doyle supported the con-
ference action, declaring that it was
the only equitable way to nominate
fact that five of the ten delegates to
the last national convention came
from two counties. E. H. Stenvick of
Minot thought that that made no diff
ference, just as long. as the delegates
were good Democrats and were named
by the people. Grand Forks city
alone had three delegates. he said,
and no one questioned the Democratic
principles or faith of that delegation.
The committee immediately went
into session. Chairman Duis re-
quested that all men who were can
didates for presidential electors or
deleg1tes or men who had candidates
to present. confer with the commit
tee 80 that they could present re-
port which would be acceptable to all
members of the conference.
