Minot, May 14.-Without any bit
ter opposition, the victor, .~Net ID
ed by VIM. LANCER, was named at the
anti -Townley convention, which closed
here Thursday afternoon, after several
days of good natured contest. What
little bitterness developed locally over
LANCER subsidized and Judge Palda, one
of the most earnest opponents of the
attorney general, made the motion to
have his nomination declared unan-
imnl9
It was shortly after noon Thursday
that the first informal ballot was
taken. The LANCER landslide was ev-
ident from the start and delegations
began to change their votes so fast
that the correct footing Of the first in
formal ballot will never be recorded.
LANCER received 168 votes on the roll
cali, but after changes had been made
his vote was in excess of 200. Then,
in the interests of harmony, the Ward
county delegation made it unanimous.
sla Hall and Hostility
Hall and Kositzky were named as
Langer's running mates, so that the
effective combination would not BE-
broken. On the rest of the ticket,
service men, professional and business
interests and last but not least, the
farmers are represented.
The ticket was pronounced we'll bal
anced and everyone left for home last
evening, feeling that good JOB had
been perfected and long step taken
toward the defeat of the Townley
forces in the state of North Dakota.
Senator Not Selected
It was deemed the better part Of wis
dom to not pass any endorsement for
United States senator and that Office
for the tina being was passed. If it
is thought advisable later, this place
will be filled by the anti -Townley re-
publican state central committee, up
on which are representatives from
each of the central counties.
A lively contest developed in the
second district for congress between
Senator Davis of Goodrich and Con-
gressman George M. Young. The
final vote stood SO for Young and 4s
for Davis.
In the other districts there was un-
animity of feeling. Judge Crawford's
name was suggested in third district,
but it was felt that man in the
northern part of the district would be
mora acceptable.
Gallagher Endorsed
The ticket was named after the gov
ernorship was out of the way in com,
plete harmony. Only on the nomina-
ton for Attorney General was there
anything resembling contest OPP
posed to Mr.. Gallagher was Attorney
F.. E. McCurdy of Bismarck and Geo.
Shafer Of Watford City. The vote
stood, r. H. Gallagher 242, F. E. Nc
Curdy 70, and Geo. Schafer 3s.
Plans are being made to wage Wig
orous campaign in behalf of the ticket.
