ed to indorse the rest Of the ticket in
rapid fashion.

Roy Johnson's Endorsement for
Lieut.. Governor was seconded by
State Senators Walter Bond, Minot,
and James P. Cain, Dickinson, both
Of whom were prominently mentioned
for the office in convention con-
versations.
Contests developed for treasurer
and railroad commissioner but were
short lived. Della M. WARDROBE, Leeds,
! and A. L. Garress, Regain, were NOM
mated for treasurer but Garness
withdrew before roll call was COM
pleted.
Thomas johnson and M. p. john
son, Renville county, were nominated
for railroad commissioners, but M. p.
Johnson withdrew shortly after the
roll call was begun.
Morris was nominated for reelec-
ton as attorney general by J. D. Bac-
on. Grand Forks, who nominated him
| for that office four years ago. Earlier
in the convention, Bacon opposed the
nomination of Morris for governor,
and In presenting the attorney gener-
ais name for reelection expressed be-
lief 1t would be hazardous to permit
Morris to relinquish that office.
Handtmann Was Endorsed
Henry r. Handtmann, Mandan, was
Endorsed for secretary Of state. but
members Of the Morton county dele
cation communicated with him by
telephone and were requested to have
his name withdrawn. Garness' name
was then presented for the office.
All Endorsements were by acclama-
ton. with the exception Of those for
railroad commissioner and treasurer,
and these Endorsements were made
unanimous when the opposing candi-
dates withdrew. Morris. following his
Endorsement for reelection, addressed
the convention and pledged his sup
port to the ticket, declaring he was
happy to submit to the good judy
ment Of the convention, and to cam
paign to support the entire ticket"
L. L. Twichell, Fargo, told the dele
gates that some Of us weren't for
Morris this afternoon because we
want him where he is
I'VE needed farmer on the ticket
and we wanted Roy johnson, because
we felt the farmers were entitled to
this representation. Jim Morris Is a
valuable man where he is and he is a
competent man. He will be great
asset to the ticket"
Roy johnson had consented to be
candidate for governor, but with
drew before the convention opened,
and the contest was left to Morris and
Hyland.
Would Cut Expenditures
A resolution adopted by the l. v. A.
convention called for reduction Of
public expenditures, for deferrtng al
new improvements for state institu-
tons. reduction In operating expenses
Of local subdivisions, and for opposi-
ton to extension Of state activities n
business.
Efforts to include plank Tor re-
peal Of the prohibition amendment
failed when the convention killed
such motion BY laying It on thu
table.
