Joined for the state campaign.
Endorsement Of Mr.. Kellogg by an
Overwhelming vote was accepted by
his two opponents in sportsmanlike
fashion. The nomination was made
unanimous before the result of the
rollcall could be announced, by mo-
tions from the supporters of Judge
Oscar Hallam and Mayor George E.
Leach. After Senator Kellogg had
been escorted to the hall and had
made his speech of acceptance, invita-
tions were sent to the other candi-
dates. Judge Hallam responded and
pledged his hearty support to the
senator.
Senator Kellogg will find no more
ardent supporter in the future than
myself" he declared amid cheers from
all sides.
Mayor Leach gave out statement
in Minneapolis urging his friends to
support Senator Kellogg Loyalty.
Nomination of Senator Kellogg
really was effected when the vote Of
St. Louis county was cast. When the
roll was finished he had 750 votes,
more than 200 over the majority of
the convention. The correct total Of
the rollcall, though never announced,
was:
Kellogg 743, Hallam 24S, Leach
39, Preus 13.
Senator Frank E. Putnam moved
the endorsement Of Governor Preus
for reelection. This was seconded by
Mrs. Warren, Senator W. A. Nolan
and others, and on motion of Senator
Arch Coleman, the endorsement was
made unanimous.
A. HI. Vernon, Little Falls, for the
service men, moved unanimous in
dorsement Of Lieutenant Governor
Louis L. Collins for reelection, which
carried viva voce.
Justice J. H. Quinn of Fairmont,
who is up for reelection, was indors-
ed on motion of w. A. Nolan. He is
not running as party candidate, and
the Endorsement will not appear on
the ballot.
Endorsements of Mike Holm for re-
election as secretary of state and OF
Ray P. Chase for state auditor, were
voted unanimously in short order.
The first brush on the state ticket
came over state treasurer. c. H. War
ner of Aitkin nominated Henry Rines
for another term. C. T. Howard of
Pipestone presented w. C. Briggs Of
that city and a ballot was ordered.
Most counties went heavily to Rines,
but Hennepin gave Briggs LOG to 62
for Rines, while Ramsey gave Briggs
so and Rines 10. But st. Louis coun-
ty gave Rines 40 and Briggs 20, and
when Sherburne county was reached
Rines had more than enough. Mr..
Howard stopped the ballot to make it
unanimous. Sa.
W. H. Mcbride of Fergus Falls pre-
sented Attorney General C. L. Hilton
for Endorsement, which was voted ur-
animously.
c.. ]. Laurisch of Mankato did the
honors for Ivan Bowen as member of
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion, w. E. Culkin of Duluth present
ed the name of Senator E. M. Erick-
son of Duluth, a railroad engineer.
The convention was not in humor to
break the slate, however, and when
Hennepin had been called, giving
Erickson only to 1853 for Bowen,
Senator Erickson took the platform
himself to make it unanimous in a
handsome speech.
Seven candidates were placed in
nomination for clerk Of the supreme
court. They were Miss Eloise Cali
han, St. Paul; George M. Stowe,
Wadena; Mrs. H. j. Limperich, st.
Cloud; Miss Grace Kaercher, Orton-
Vile; @. E. Ferguson, Luverne; E. B.
Lindsey, Willow River, and George
w. Rodenberg, st. Paul. The first
ballot scattered the vote badly, result
ing: Kaercher, $50; Stowe, 276;
Calihan, 26O; Ferguson, 1856; Roden-
berg, 70; Lindsey, Al; Limperich, "a.
Mr.. Ferguson withdrew and on the
second ballot votes shifted rapidly to
Miss Kaercher. Her nomination was
made unanimous before the ballot was
finished.
Senator Frank Kellogg addressed
the convention briefly as follows.
81 would rather have the confidence
and the endorsement of the represent
ative men and women of Minnesota" "
ethan any honor that could come to
me-. The greatest compensation a
public man has is the confidence and
respect of the people he serves. Il !
can have that, / feel well repaid for
wears Of hard work and worry.
