Thorson recalls pressure to defeat 1905 primary petition
Gilbert Thorson of Minnehaha recounts two hours with Senators Rogde Northrup and Robertson as they urged him to vote against submitting the 1905 primary election petition to the people. A telegram from Senator Kittredge was cited as backing defeat and offering office in Minnehaha County. He chose conscience, voting to submit the petition, which passed the House. He also notes party resistance to Roosevelt endorsements and claims a Kittredge-led effort to block reform.
