John 3. Knox, of Admission, chairman
of the state central committee. A full
state ticket, from governor down to
judges of the supreme court, will be no.
Minated. Governor Joseph F. John
son will be renOminated by unan-
imous vote, ana the other places on
the ticket, with the exception of that
of chief justice, are not likely to bring
forth any spirited contests. For the
nomination to the chief jusiiceship
strong rivalry exists between Associate
Justice L. N. McClemau, who is a
free silver advocate and Judge L. w.
Coleman, u gola man. The resolutions
will deal largely with state affairs. A
number of the delegates favor keeping
national issues out of the platform en-
tIrely, but the indications are that the
convention will re-aftirm the Chicago
