The Democratic county committee
held meeting yesterday afternoon.
aud, after discussing matters for an
hour. adjourned without fixing a date
for the county convention. The queS-.
ton OF fixing an early date was debated
pro and con III an informal way, but
definite action was deferred until the
aneXt meeting Monday afternoon, at
which time the ward committeeman
will have lists of primary judges ready
and will Know the sentiments of the
wards as to the num- Der of primaries de-
sired. There was Il sentiment against
precinct primaries, the reason being
given that such plan. in the absence OF
a primary law. would leave the way
open for unfair advantage being taken
: In some precincts. A. :e3
- The question of representation took
up most of the time of the meeting.
1t was ultimately decided to change the
basis of representation in a minor par
ticular from that of the county conven-
ton to select delegates to the state
convention. In that convention there
were t63 delegates, or one for each IS
votes cast for Mr. Lawler Tor governor
or ''maior" fraction thereof. In the
coming convention there will be about
$50 delegates, an increase of II. This
basis was arrived at by striking out
nnrds fl,nf Aal1x
gate will be allowed for each Is votes
for Lawler or fraction thereof. This
will, give an increase Of delegates
IN the country of one or more for each
village or township. There will also be
increases in nearly all of the wards
Fine question OF holding a separate con-
vention for legislative nominations was
also discussed and action deferred. The
committee is about evenly divided on
this point, most of the speakers Oh the
subject being of the opinion that one
big convention would result in more
concerted action between both dele
gates and candidates. and be more har.

central club have charge of the arrange
ments foy the meeting, among them
being M. r. Prendergast, John S.

l. Dr.. Frank Powell, the PopuIist can
didate for governor in Wisconsin, has
promised to make some speeches in the
