Political infighting over delegate seating and primary rules

Governor Allin’s Board Actions Under Fire in State Tax Battle
The Fargo Commonwealth defends its claim that Governor Allin would be heavily defeated if nominated, criticizing his leadership on the state board of equalization. The Grand Forks Herald cites the board as corrupt, noting seven Republicans on ten and that Allin knew or influenced their votes on railroad taxation. Attorney General Cowan pressed for fair taxation, proposing listing 250 miles of railroad for taxation, but Allin did not back the motion, resulting in railroad property remaining untaxed.
