Moodie, whose name had been greeted with cheers during the entire convention, was again the object of a rousing ovation, the most enthusiastic given any can- didate during the convention. Points to Strong Demand Lanier pointed to the spontaneous demand for Moodie’s candidacy that came in the face of his persistent re- fusal to permit his name to come be- fore the convention. He recited Mood- {e's record as an editorial writer for: Twin City newspapers for 10 years and to his long residence in North Dakota. “He is going to lead us out of the wilderness into the promised land,” Lanier concluded amid cheers of the Celegates.

Also on the agenda were legisla- tive measures to increase consumption of wheat and the control of all ship- ments.
