hall, remodeled and changed since the
holding of the national republican con-
vention. was pretty well filed on the
fIoor by II o'clock this morning. but it
was l2:2O when Chairman Campbell
called the democratic state convention
to order. Chairman Campbell announced
Alfred Jacques of Duluth as the choice
of the state central committee for tenn

recommended that the temporary organ
ization Of the convention be made per-
manent and the report was adopted. \

districts. 1t was moved to proceed to
nominate candidate for governor
ard substitute was proposed to select
first the candidates for the superior
court. On this the roll call was de
manded. 1t was a fight primarily
against Lawler, but back of that it was
between Ramsey and lIennepin counties
for their respective candidates on the
state ticket, and on the result seemed to
depend at least part of the state ticket.

pin delegation apparently would secure
! the nomination of Judge Canty for the
supreme court before voting for Lawler
for governor. By vote of - TO 19} the
substitute was tabled and nominations
for governor were called. Before any
