Old Leaders to BE In the Lead
The Convention VIII Elect I2O
Delegates to the State Convention.
There will be 218 delegates In the
convention that will be called to order
this morning at 10 o'clock in Market
hall by County Chairman Townley. The
convention promises to be unique in
the annals Of the Democracy of ST.
Paul, in that there will be a complete
absence of those factors that have
hitherto been prominent in political
meetings.
The convention will elect 120 dele
gates to the state convention, which Is
to be held at Minneapolis June Is, but
no one has the least idea of who will
lead the delegation to the state con-
vention, and st. Paul has nothing to
ask from the state body-which Is also
unique.
1t is possible that T. R. Kane will be
the chairman of the county conven-
ton that Is to be held this morning.
He is taken by all of the members of
new Democracy as being fitted for
| the place, and he has been active in the
reorganization. 1t is likely that the
so-called Scannell Democrats will come
into the convention. Last night Dick
Bell said that he did not know that
there were any primaries being held,
bnt most Of his followers were concern
ed in the primaries, and they will be in
the convention today.
The holding of the primaries occa-
stoned no particular interest, and they
We're not largely attended. There were
In most wards, no quarrels as to the
right of place in the convention, and
there is no likelihood of contests in the
| convention.
The convention will 1ilko1xy In
| struct its delegates for Lind for gov
| ernor, but will give no further instruc-
tons, and there will be no anticipation
Of the action of the state convention
in the way Of resolutions. This action
may, of course, be changed, but it was
conceded last night that there would
be an avoidance of the making Of IS
| sues prior to the convention.
| Chairman Townley did not think it
| wise to ask that there be any sort Of
recognition of a central body, and the
ward chairmen were not asked to con-
fer Or to make returns at headquar-
tiers. Mr.. Townley went home early in
the evening and said before going that
he was satisfied that there would be
| no attempt to capture the primaries in
any particular interest, and that he
would be through when he called the
convention to order this morning. He
| did not mean that he would take no
|
ably will be a delegate to the state
body, but he wants to divest today's
| convention of any suggestion that the
| old leaders are prominent.
Returns were not made last night
from the primaries in the Second, Sew
enth, Tenth and Eleventh wards. In
the Sixth the ticket announced In yes
terday mornings G o b was elected
without opposition. In the Fourth there
was a considerable mingling of forces
| that have heretofore been considered
| in opposition. In the Eighth ward dele
cation there are number of new men
and the same is true of the Fifth, III
which ward there was a considerable
split in the spring election.

| county conventions:
