Assembly conventions Just what was oo''e ~ w.,
impossIble to learn to a certainty Even ai'e, "
ANALYSIS Is made OF the makeup Of the district dee
cations. there will still remain some DOUBT do ~
the final action of the delegates when they are a''
sembled in convention ,.
One of the most remarkable victories la'' re,
was by Mayor Wurster's friends in the Nihth DE
trict OF the Nineteenth Ward. There had peen many
PROPHECIES of the slaughter that would take pace

they had him beaten. and that his hopes OF gong "
ST. Louis would be blasted at the outset
The Mayors friends won by AZ to 2s The mayor
was present and discharged his duties as s"ou
citizen. Indications point to an even-up con'e'',
the victory from which will depend largely on sooo
management between now and convention time
