PRATT | A DEL !! { I:
Anoka Colonel Elected at the Split
District Convention IN Min
neapolis Friday.
Mrs. Fosseen Honored by Being
Chosen Delegate to Chicago at
the State Convention.

The republican district convention.
held in Minneapolis on Friday, split
wide open and as result there were
two conventions instead of one. Andy
Rain called one convention to order
and E. w. Stark the other amid up
roarious tumults. To be plain, it was
a nasty mix-up and the Rain forces
were apparently to blame. 1t is I'M
necessary to- go into the details Of the
fight, which was altogether out of
Fplace and should have been avoided.
There was no reson whatever for a
split, but that was, nevertheless the
outcome.
District delegates elected to the ma
tional convention by the Rain faction
were Congressman Schall and L. M.
Mithun of Buffalo, with John G. Priebe
Of Minneapolis and DR.. George E.
Means as alternates. R. E. Wakefield
of Wayzata was Endorsed for presiden-
tial elector. The delegates were not
instructed.
The Stark convention elected Colonel
Albert F. Pratt of Anoka and Lowell
E. Jepson of Minneapolis as delegates
to the national convention, with Elias
Nordgren of Sunrise and Senator
Turnham Of Long Lake as alternates.
These delegates were instructed for
leonard Wood "as long as he may be
candidate" and, if the situation
otherwise shaped itself, to turn their
support to Lowden. r.
The republican state convention
held in St. Paul auditorium on Satur-
day wa3 keenly and closely contested.
the outcome, however, being in favor
of Wood.> -Four delegates pledged to
the general. were elected, viz, Mrs.
Marley L. Fosseen, Minneapolis; AL
yah Eastman St. Cloud;sH. R. Bach,
QWatonna,l and Mile Brunnell, Du-
luth.
By a vote of. 595 to 1913 the scorven-
ton refused to instruct the delegates
at large for Wood. However, each, one
of the four is for Wood and will vote
for him on the floor Of the Chicago
convention.
Ten of Minnesota's "a have been in
structed for Wood by resolutions
adopted at district conventions. Ten
other district delegates were unin-
structed, but declared previous to their
election their preference for him. The
four elected on Saturday as delegates
at large have been Wood workers.
For the first time in the history of
national conventions woman has
been elected delegate at large. The
vote for Mrs. Fosseen was fitting
tribute to the women republican voters
Of Minnesota and to the woman who
has done so much to make them re-
publican voters.

Better System Badly Needed.

Without associating it with any of
the results of the republican contest
or what may be the outcome of the
democratic expression of choice, the
presidential preference primary sys-
tenn is a system not even in name. The
repeal of the statute throwing about
these primaries the safeguard of Law,
was blunder. If the primary has any
purpose it is to crystalize the party
expression, following the principle of
the desire Of the majority. The farci-
cal character Of the recent republican
primaries cannot be disguised; if the
democrats have a contest of approx
mate intensity the situation will be
repeated.
In no party interest and for no par
|ticular candidate benefit, but for salts

In New Mexico, the wolves, which
were estimated to number between
300 and 400 at the time the campaign
began there. have been reduced to less

These remaining wolves are mainly ex'

losses of live stock amounting to
about $1,000 each. In southern New
