'fti i* 1 'f' ffl" t&' ,-v ft. 5? 1 f. t- 'ft The Announcement of Hennepin It was- a dramatic moment in the Duluth armory when Thomas Voegeli, who three times had reported Henne pin county "ninety-nine for Block," mounted his chair and shouted: "Hen nepin gives thirteen votes for Jacob ion ana eighty-six for Cole." As soon as the convention caught its breath there was a roar of excitement. The Cole men led in the cheering, but were joined by many partisans of other candidates. Still the stampede was not complete. Jacobson's leaders rushed about frantically to round up votes thoy still had coming, and to start a counter stampede in their direction. They picked up a score of votes, but that was the best they could do, for the Cole men, who. were expected- to come in line- for Jacobson soon, were Bitting tight on the Cole wagon. Ram iey stuck to its silly scheme of an even division between the seven, but other counties fell in line. McLeod went to Cole solid} Martin gave him all but one -Ricec followed suit, and Scott gave Cole its solid vote. Washington solidified on Cole, and ^so did Wilkin. The rollcall was finished, and had it ended there it would have shown a gain of about 10 for Cole, bringing him up about even with Jacobson. But before the ballot could be closed Blue Earth Cfv tlte stampede its second impetus, KOing sella for Cole. Changes came quick and fast. Mower gave Cole all but one, then the Stephens counties tumbled in one after the other. Block leaders, got busy and turned Le Sueur, and then came Somerville's county, Brown, with a solid vote for Cole. The finish was in sight, and Dar Reese then got-thc chairman's eye, delivering Bamsey's sixty-four to the winner. 10 13 0 4 18 11 9 11 Total MM A ft- Third Ballot Was What Brought the Stampede.

When the convention reassembled all were wailing to cheer the victor. As Albert L. Cole mounted the stage, fol lowed close by Jacob F. Jacobson.

Dwinnell, whose treatment by Hennepin' is elsewhere mentioned, the candidates were Eber hart of Blue Earth and Nolan of Mower, both men with legislative rec ords on railroadf questions. Eberhart's Swedish birth told in his favor, and it was rumored over the convention that Cole wanted him for runningmate. He had helped the Cole stampede. Some Jacobson. men were sore and stood for Nolan, who had also helped name Cole. Nolan had entered late and had little chance, but he had combined with Halden and Lemon, and with their help made a good showing. Dwinnell 's votes were nearly all changed after his with drawal, and Hennepin .went solid for Eberhart. He received 633 to 440 for Nolan and 16 for Dwinnell. Then came the fight for auditor, more engrossing in interest than anything left on the boards.. The Halden com bination had helped.name Cole, but the defeat of Jacobson caused a feeling in the convention that it. would be dan gerous to turn Iverson down. Had the auditorship come first, Halden might have*won,t but as it stood, Iverson was a sure winner.

Jacobson, the loser, shared honors -in the convention yesterdav af ternoon with A. L. Cole, the winner. The stalwart figure of the man from Lac qui Parle, smiling in the face of defeat so unexpected, loomed large over the convention, and fellow feeling for his disappointpent tugged at the heart strings of many a man who had worked hard for his defeat. It is now known that Jacbbson twice refused an offer that would have given him the nomination without a question. He practically declined a certain vic tory, rather than, enter into an aeree ment which he could not in conscience approie. The managers of Odin Halden's cam paign realized "strength, Th they could win with. the addition of the Jacobson vote. The St. Lotiis countv delegates did not want Jacobson, but they agreed finally to go to him if a deal could be made. Ramsey county was in the Halden "camp with an agree ment including Lemon, and WAS ready, to throw a majority of its vote to Ja cobson in return for Halden and Lemon cotes. So, with full power to act, rep resentatives of Halden waited on Jocob son. They offered to guarantee him enough votes to nominate, if he would agree to the' trade. He positively refused, saying that he would make ho trades what ever. After midnight tfcev roturned for another conference. It resulted the same way.

Staples, West St. Paul. -J Hennepin's delegation cut more fig ure in the -convention than^ it. has in years, and snowed what the big county can do when it "plays ball." The delegation got the credit for naming Cole, and the steering committee showed its grasp of the situation there. The original committee of seven had been increased, to eleven, by addine senators E. E. Smith and George P. Wilson, W. H. Grimshaw and Al Gees aman. They were not Block men, but were against Jacobson, Grimshaw fa voring Somerville and the other three wanting Lord. They saw the writing on the wall, however, and.with "Andy Eahn," L. A. Lydiard, C. W. Somerby and other Block men, succeded in swinging the delegation to Cole at the psychological time. Still Hennepin got no place on the state ticket. It could have had Dwin nell for lieutenant governor, but most of. the Block men and the friends of Girling controlled, and prevented his nomination. The opposition was put on the groupd that Dwinnell had gone into the Jacobson camp. This did him an injustice. Some of his friends were for Jacobson, but Mr. Dwinnell himself took no part, and was ready to stand1 with the Block men for harmony all along the line. Martin sent for him and wanted to put him pn the Jacob son slate. He only wanted Dwinnell to detach his friends from the Block camp and bring twenty votes or so to Jacobson. He could have delivered the votes, but refused to made the deal, and took no step to break the delega tion on governor. The delegation caucus during the re cess was a stormy affair, and was cut becauseorder.convention the was about tshort come" to Dwinnell' friends hey were makinJacobson's a close fight, and After arriving, in Duluth, however,'they __ HI J.^. -j-iii xi- became disgusted with the way things were running, and joined the ahti-Ja cobson conferences. They lent their counsel, and when the time came, threw their delegates into the scale for. Cole and against Jacobson. In fact, Samuel Lord was one of the men who appealed to Cole not to withdraw, but to '-'stick" with the rest until at least one test of strength could be had. -,c. If the balloting could have been con tinued for two more rollcalls, Julius Block: would have been nominated," de clared one of the local supporters of the St. Peter man today. Up to the time the break came, the thing had moved along exactly according to the program Julius had mapped out. He was gaining votes steadily, but many were still un der cover. He" had a number of repetition of his experience four years stayed igwith ht crowd a li 'd atye aeo. Then he was a candidate for au- -^-S Tr- *T Z/Mjgm I :k say that if it had lasted naif an hour longer the delegation could have- been i made solid for him. About sixty at tended, and a motion was first made to support Dwinnell solidly. This was op posed by James A. Nash, as Girling's representative. After a wrangle C. W. Somerby moved a-vote on all Hennepin candidates, for whatever office, the del agjation to support the one receiving the largest vote. TJie vote was takSi, giv ins Dwinnell a lead, with Girling sec-' ona. Then Girling's friends objected, because Dwinnell's vote was not a ma jority, and while in the midst of the wrangle a motion to adjourn was car- r- ried. Mr. Dwinnell did not go to the hall, but supposing the action of the caueus was binding, he asked B. H. Timberlake to present his name. This was done, and Eahn and other Block leaders urged a solid vote for Dwinnell. There was a big outcry against it, and when it came to yote many announced they were vot ing for Eberhart* Unwilling to have a split vote announced, Dwinnell's friends-^' consulted hastily and Grimshaw with drew his name. A count of the -ballots -r in the hat later showed Dwinnell witb practically half of those cast. Several of his friends were not present. Dwinnell "s friends are bitter over the false light in which they have been placed, and the injustice which they feel was done to him. With this exception, the delegation came thru the conven tion in good shape for harmony. Hennepin was with the winner right along. It gave a majority of its vote to Cole, Schmahl and Dinehart, and all of it to Eberhart and Pidgeon. Even Iverson got twenty-seven votes out of the. county, where so much hard work for-Halden had been done. In fact, his nomination was agreed to be almost a certainty. He felt, entire ly- confident of success, but over. night the deal was made that defeated him. This time.even his enemies were ready to bet on his nomination for governor, but again the fates were against him. it may be fairly stated that a big fac tor in Jacobson's defeat was the resent ment stirred up amenfr the other candi dates by the tactics of the Jacobson managers. From a politician's point of view, the Jacobson leaders played the. game well. They^ayed it hard and played to win. It was not the kind of a campaign, however, that had been ex pected of Jacobson. His newspaper supporters were declaring that he was the candidate of the common people, not of the politicians, and would be nominated by a spontaneous sentiment. Instead of making good with that style of campaign, the Jacobson headquarters were thronged with politicians from the start, all ready to ''do business" with other candidates, working to break into the home districts of other candidates, and playing the time-honored game in the same old way. Samuel Lord and George W. Somer ville had repeatedly declared themselves rxendly to Jacobson. They -weare not in sympathy with the cry anything to beat Jacobson," and if things had worked along differently they would have worked in harmony with him. planned it that way in order to grow steadily and so induce the opposition to unite on him. The situation developed too fast for him, that was all. His campaign was beautifully handled, without stirring up friction or making him an issue anywhere." The big treasurer had a chance of re nommation to his present place, but re fused to entertain suggestions along that line. His name was sprung on the convention floor without his author ity. He took the outcome cheerfully, and instead of seeking seclusion, he headquarers open tll la the afternoon, 1 6 ihst en m'the afternoon, with a smile and a ^~A~V.~I.~* cdmers. 0. A. prnoEOH.
