MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The main event at the Minneapolis Convention Center happens Friday with the endorsement of a candidate for governor. Party activists are choosing between state Reps. Tom Emmer and Marty

Seifert in a close contest.

Thursday's business includes backing a candidate for state

auditor.

The field features four candidates: former state auditor Pat

Anderson, former St. Paul School Board member Tom Conlon, corporate

auditor Randy Gilbert and Jeff Wiita (WEET'-uh), a longtime

employee of the state auditor's office.

The GOP takes up endorsements for attorney general and secretary

of state on Friday.
