D., (AP)—A surprise effort to settle the main question before the Inde- pendent voters’ convention here to- day failed this morning when a res- olution to draft Attorney General George F. Shafer to run for gover- nor and John W. Carr of Jamestown to run for lieutenant governor was held up while the convention re- cessed for lunch, The resolution was offered by A. L. Netcher of Fessenden an:l came as a surprise. It put inte words for the first time publicly the subject which has been the leading topic of conversation since the del- egates began gathering for the con- vention yesterday.

This is a situation Shafer is known to dislike, but which he is said to be ready to cept in the interests. of party harmony. Text of Resolution The text of the resolution which created the furore follows: “Where- as, George F. Shafer is a candidat> for United States senator and Jonn W. Carr is a candidate for governor and both state their desire to be nominated for said offices, and whereas, both are true and loyal Independents and are well qualifie! for the offices to which they aspire: “But, whereas, the situation is such in this state by reason of the extremely radical platform which the Nonpartisan league has adopted, to require that all personal politi- cal desires aud ambitions be put aside and the strongest possible ticket be named to represent the Independents of this state; “Therefore, be it resolved, that in the judgment of the convention the strongest ticket which.can be named under the existing circumstances, it George Shafer for governor and John Carr for lieutenant governor and that it is the sense of this con- tention that George Shafer be re- uested to stand as our candidate for governor and that John Carr be requested to stand as our candi- date for lieutenant governor.” ‘ lure When the convention 9} this afternoon, the recom: lations of the committee on procedure were adopted. ey provided for the endorse- . ment of governor, lieutenant gov- ernor and other state offices in the order named, Four Democrats were named on 56, pioneer farmer of this yi died suddenly last evening of heart disease.
