/ Prospects are that the meeting will
have to make several requirements in
the party ticket, as several persons Of
fered Inducements have Already signi-
fed that they cannot run.
i Among them are Miss Victoria Nc
Almon, who pleaded today that the
pressure Of her private affairs would
make it impossible to run for clerk OF
the supreme court, although she deep
! ly appreciated the honor. 1t is also
4 doubtful whether Miss Lily Anderson
of Franklin, who poDed nearly 100000
Votes as a candidate for secretary OF
the state two years ago, will permit
her name to be used for this office.
! The contest in the Republican State
Convention centered around the Sen
atorship, Frank B. kellogg being can
didate for reelection and having oppo-
sition in the convention of the friends
of Judge Oscar Hallam and Mayor
George E. Leach of Minneapolis. KEEL
log easily won out on the first ballot.
The vote was: Kellogg, 745; Hallam
239; Leach 80.
While Mayor George p. Leach and
Justice Oscar Hallam, candidates for
the senatorial nomination in the con-
vention, announced their withdrawal,
kellogg will face the opposition Of Err
nest Lundeen in the republican pri-
maries and possibly other candidates
and Governor Preus will be opposed
by Franklin F. Ellsworth. -
Senator Kellog goes back to Wash
ington double dashed to vote for a
soldiers bonus. The convention plat
form on which he was Endorsed called
for a bonus as soon as possible. Sena-
tor kellogg, in an address, pledged him
self to the bonus.
Cries of s'Newberry,'' which came
from all quarters of the hall and the
galleries, greeted William Brown, Pen
nington county, who seconded Kel-
logg's nomination, and at one time
were so continuous that his voice was
drowned out and he halted, confused.
With Kellogg were Endorsed the rest
of the reigning republicans: Governor
Preus, lieutenant Governor Collins,
Attorney General C. l.. Hilton, Sec
rotary of State Mike Holm, State
Treasurer Henry Rhines, State Auditor
Ray P. Chase and Railroad and Ware
house Commissioner Ivan Bowen.
ss. Woman Choice as Clerk.
A woman, Miss Grace Kaercher Ct
Ortonville, was Endorsed for supreme
court clerk, the lowest job and the
one which pays the least salary, in the
list OF Offices to be filed in the state
government.
Talk Of possible primary opposition
to all members Of the ticket is already
cropping out. Julius Schniahl, former
clerk of the secretary Of state, is men
toned as likely to run against Mike
Holm. George Magnuson Of St. Cloud
has already announced his candidacy
for state auditor.
One plank Of the resolutions called
for the Gust application and enforce
ment" of the state soldiers preference
act and was interpreted today as a
rap at Governor Preus. This act,
calling for preference for former service
men in all appointive positions in the
state, was passed by the 1919 legis-
lature.
Convention Law Lauded.
In addition to the soldiers bonus
provision, the resolutions contained:
Praise of the republican pre-primary
! convention law under which the con-
vention was called.
Claims that the late legislature had
| passed more Constructive agricultural
legislation than any previous one,
Praise OF the. workmen's compensa-
tion act enacted a year ago.
/ Pledges for tax reduction.
Advocacy Of the passage Of "any
additional laws needed to make oul
law enforcement effective;;" and gen
| orally taken to mean as boost for 9
state const abulary.
I Declarations that the tonnage ta1
pledge of the party had been ssmade
good'' by the passage Of the occupa
tional tax bill now held up lin The
courts
!. Although the convention could moi
/ legally indorse the candidacy Of James
H. Quinn, supreme court justice who
