The decision was in favor cf tlio county convention delegation leaded by C. J. Garlow. The convention was called to order * l 8:30 : p. in. by J. C. Elliott , who dur ing the afternoon was elected temporary ary chairman of Ihe congressional central commlltee. Interest In the contest at hand was shown by the size of the delegations representing the various counties , virtually all of the delegates elected being present. Norfolk was well represented by spectators and the Norfolk band wel comed the convention to the city. Mr. Elliott brlotly spoke of the work In hand and asked that the convention proceed with promptness. Mr. Elliott stated that the central committee had recommended E. R. Gurney of Fremont for temporary chairman and the convention ratify ing the choice Mr. Gurney was Intro duced as the presiding officer. Mr. Gurney said in part : Geiillcmen of the convention , and Ladies : If there Is any fault to be found with our new primary law , there Is one which In a measure tcnda to condemn It with me. The new law has a tendency to do away with the jood old fashioned conventions which do so much to foster party loyalty a nil enthusiasm. I look with sadness spon the fact that those conventions which we all enjoy so much , will not to known to us again for four years , 1 more fully appreciate the distin guished honor which you have bestowed - stowed upon me than I have words to express. This has been a beautiful day. But with prospects of oratory tonight , you don't care to hear mo talk of weather , I brought up the beautiful day as a lasls upon which to express the thought that this marvelous day , with its Hood of sunshine and never n breath of air , with no cloud In all the horizon , may bo prophetic In a meas ure of the peace that will reign In all this nation next fall when Ihe smoke cf baltlo has cleared away and William Howard Tafl Is our presldonllal victor , Seine men are born lucky. Some lch. But every ono of you gentle men , with your political heritage ol fifty years of republicanism , Is more fortunate than a millionaire's child , Fifty years of republicanism has meant more to this nation than all the forty centuries of the pyramids to Egypt ( Applause. ) Fifty years ago Buchanan vent out of office and the nation was bankrupt. The government adver for money at from ten to twenty- four per cent Interest. And to pay that rate of IntoroHt means condemna tion on condemnation. I know what ten percent tneaiiM. I've collected a lot of U. ( Laughter. ) Our Meet hat ) grown In fifty yearn till It commnndH the admiration of the world , because of the power known to be behind It. Under Abraham Lincoln wo struck iff the shackles of slavery and tinder William McKlnley we struck off the shackloB of hard times. Under the protective tariff , In whoso utility I believe as llrmly as ever , our commerce and Industries have grown to unprecedented heights. The American citizen Is an tin crowned king today. And American Ideals and citizenship never meant more than at present under the leader- Hhlp of Theodore Roosevelt. ( Ap plause. ) We have always had the material In the republican party with which to meet every emergency. I liavo nothing but love In my heart for a democrat. ( Applause by E. O. Garret. ) Nexl fall when I deposit my little ballot I will say , "Willie , It Is only because I love you thai I do U. " Bryan Is always good nalurod. Ho Is always serene In the face of adver sity , coming up year after year to bo whipped. In all ages there have been Iwo par ties a conservative and a radical. The ono exception exists today In America where there Is a party nei ther clinging stubbornly lo the past nor reaching out Into the wrongs of socialism just progressive. Our par ty Is as clean today as It over was. The names of William McKlnloy and Theodore Roosevelt will go down In the pages of hlslory and bo heralded as names of leaders who presided over this nation at periods marked by re markable progress. McKlnley selected Taft ns federal judge hv Ohio , and Taft made good ; McKlnley selected Taft as governor general of the Philippines , and Taft made good ; Roosevelt appointed Taft governor general of Cuba , and Taft made good ; Roosevelt selected Taft as secretary of war , and Tafl made good. And if 1 am not inlslaken , our next president will bo William How ard Tafl who always has "made good. " Gonllomen , what Is the pleasure of the couvenllou ? On uiollon of E. A.

A station kept open by the Norlh- western road al the town , of Crooks- ton , Cherry county , according to a Lincoln Dispatch , Is what Max E. Vlertol wants. Ho called on the rail way commission and filed a vol uminous complaint asking that an agent bo maintained at Ihe station built many years ago but never opened. Mr. Viertol said among the lasl acts of tins old board of traiiHporatlon was an order requiring Ihe Norlhwostorn road to build a depot at Crookston. The work was done In the fall and the company promised to have an agent on duty In the spring. In the mean time the supreme court declared the board of transportallon unconstitu tional on account of the Irregular passage - sago of the act creating It. This de cision loft no body In power to en force the order of the board and the depot has never been opened. Mr. Vlertol alleges that the station might draw a great deal of business from the Rosebud Indian reservation , because It Is thlrleen miles nearer the reserva- Uon lhan Is Valentino , the town that now gets most of the reservation trade.
