GOVERNOR LaFOLLETTE. time prior to the holding of the state convention May 18, 1904, when an open rupture between the two factions occurred. The slate central committee who is. sued the call for the convention, was composed of a chairman and 22 mem bers, 16 of whom were adherents of Governor LaFollette. The state cen tral committee in its call for the con vention announced it would act as a committee on credentials and deter mine what delegates were entitled to seats in the convention hall. The “stalwarts” claim that the central com mittee, acting as a committee on cre dentials, excluded from the convention many properly accredited delegates who were antagonistic to LaFollette, and substituted men favorable to him. The LaFollete people and the majority of the state central comm-Iltee declare this assertion of the “stalwarts” to be untrue. The state convention met, and after a short session the “stal warts” withdrew from the hall and held what is known as the opera house convention, both conventions nominat ed full state tickets. Robert M. LaFol lette was nominated by the “half breeds” for governor, the “stalw’arts” putting up Samuel A. Cook. Both conventions selected delegates at large to the Republican national convention In Chicago. The presidential and vice presidential electors chosen by the two conventions were the same. The Republican national committee meeting in Chicago prior to the nation al convention decided that the* opera house convention was the legal conven tion. The contest was carried before Walker and Dreese Out—Canh Is No Longer Inspector. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 5.—The Chatham artillery has received the resignation of Captain George P. Walker and Senior Lieutenant Harry S. Dreese. With the resignation of these two officers from military service, the two oldest officers in point of service in the national guard of the country re tire from military life. Lieutenant Alexander Krenso<n is next in lim- of promotion. Lieutenant William Dixon, who was elected a short time ago, being next. Which of these officers will be chosen to fill the vacancy is not determined, al though it is believed that Lieutenant Krenson, as a reward for his longer service, will lie the recipient of the honor. Both Captain Walker and Lieutenant Dresse retire after 41 years of con tinuous service in the command, a rec ord probably not equaled by any other officers in the service of file national guard.
