The delegates to the state conven-
tioa of the Nonpartisan League had
no difficulty in deciding upon the men
they wished to carry out their pro-
gram. Farmer and labor delegates
were agreed that the men who had
served them we'll in office should be
returned to carry on the work they
have undertaken Lynn ]. Frazier was
named for third term amid enthus-
iastic cheers. 1t was the same with
Lieutenant Governor Howard R.
Wood; John N. Hagan, Commissioner
of Agriculture and Labor; S. A. Ols-
ness, Commissioner of Insurance; Con-
gressman Baer, Sinclair, Frank Mil
hollan and C. F. Dupuis, railroad COM
missioners. Their services were lauded
and no one dreamed of nominating a
candidate against them.
Good feeling prevailed the entire
convention. For most offices demand
ing new timber the delegates had but
one man in mind. The few that were
contested were balloted for and the
moment the ballot was announced the
sponsors of the defeated candidates
moved to make the nomination unan-
irnous. Several delegates were in fav-
or Of endorsing A. j. Gronna to sue
ceed himself but an overwhelming ma
jority of the members of the conven-
tion were for President Ladd. The
Gronna men quickly moved for unan-
imous Endorsement of DR.. Ladd. In
commencing DR.. Ladd's services to
the people of North Dakota C. P. Pet
erson of .Towner county said ''he has
refused the overtures of private busi-
ness which sought him not so much
for the value of his ability to them
but that he might be prevented from
using his talents in behalf of the grain
growers Of the nation"
Cahill for Secretary Of State
4 Senator J. I. Cahill Of Grant coun-
ty, chairman Of the state affairs COM
riittee, was enthusiastically endorsed
5sr secretary Of state. Being one Of
the delegates he was called upon for
! speech. He said, "my only hope is
tkat have sense enough. and grit
enough to stand by the men who are
trying to put this program across" :"
This brief remark and the knowledge
OF what Cahill has done for the farm
er cause brought him O. round Of
cheers.
The labor delegation proposed D. q.
Roindexter Of jamestown for state
auditor and the farmers did not pro
pose other names. Nh. Poindexter is .
railroad telegrapher. active in union
affairs. He enlisted in 1917 and spent
two years ii the service. r. H. Walk
