Earnest in Work.
The delegates as a body were
earnest, determined and sincerely in
terested in continuing the work start
ed by the present administration"
of opinion were many, and the per-
sonal views OF many delegates as to
the course to be pursued quite pro-
nounced, but it was very evident
throughout all the deliberations OF
the convention, that the thought up
most in the minds of all the delegates
was the effect of the action OF the
convention upon the economic and po-
Gtical conditions within our own state,
and that they were willing to make
almost any sacrifices of personal in
ferest, and waive any personal views
for the sake Of promoting the welfare
Of the state. -
Il am sure that the. impression
made upon the members OF the pres
ent administration by the earnestness,
the sincerity and the enthusiasm It

been indorsed. They were CoRmis-
sioner of Agriculture and Labor J. A.
Kitchen, who had been called back
from Jamestown to his office because
of press of business. and Miss Minnie

jamestown. N. d., April 21.-With
the Independent Republican conven-
tion adjourned without endorsement
of a candidate for United States SELL
ator, the question of what further &C
tion is to be taken in connection will,
:, the senatorship, was freely discussed
among the large number Of delegates
who had not yet left for their homes.
i The general feeling among those
who opposed the endorsement of Sen
ator McGumber for reelection seems
to be that steps should be taken to
get candidate in the field who can
be supported by all those Independ-
ents who feel that Senator McCum-
Der should not be returned to the up
per house Of national law makers
Under the action of the convention In
end orsing no candidate the delegates
and other Independents are left free
to support any candidate that they
may wish. They are certainly In no
I way bound. to support McCumber and
even that senator's supporters do moi
claim that such is the case.
Any action that may now be taken
By individuals cannot affect the state
ticket in any waX/as the McCumber
men have pledged themselves to sup
port the state ticket as part OF the
agreement under which no senatoria
candidate was endorsed here yester-
aay. The nti-McCumber men have

way as to what action they may take
