THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.

Wlllmar was host last Friday to a
notable gathering of well-groomed
people, delegates to the G. O. P.
convention from the fourteen coun-
ties comprising the Seventh Congress
sional district There were lawyers,
plenty of them, bankers by the doz-
en-, few editors, some merchants,
and a few farmers perhaps, but very
lew. The assemblage might we'll be
SAID to be very representative of the
leadership which hitherto has had a
controlling voice in politics of the dis
trict. At this time when this same
leadership has been CHALLENGED by
one of the most remarkable popular
uprisings of the common folks ever
seen IN the country one might we'll
have believed that prudence would
have dictated a course of action in
the part of such gathereing that
should have had a tendency to allay
the growing suspicion of the masses
that their erstwhile leaders are not
10 De trusted to do all the leading
as heretofore
But, no. Instead of taking cogni.
zance OF the demands of the farmers
who constitute ninety-five percent of
the producers of the district, they
parrot-like repeat the libels of the
big interests upon these same farm.
ers depict the great unrest" among
them as being something reprehensi.
Die, and even dangerous to American
institutions! Instead of selecting
two of the best posted farmers of the
district to voice the demands of the
district at the Chicago convention
they pick two lawyers to go-and
such lawyers! They could not have
picked two men more thoroly dis
liked by the rank and file of farmers
who are at all posted on the records
of public men of the district.
This same gathering passed a re
solution aimed at the popular prim
airy and urging return to the sys
tenn by which nominating conven
lions should be given the power t.
place candidates in the field, anc
members Of the gathering compli
mented themselves as being a fine
example of what a real convention
should be. The result of this con
vetion proves absolutely the fallacy
OF this stand. The men selected tt
60 as national delegates could neither
of them have survived popular
primary in contest with men less
brilliant perhaps, but more sturd,
and dependable as advocates of the
real public interests.
